Hi Joe,<br><br>You asked me: “Now (and I mean no offense), please let me ask you a question, Why do you think God should save you? What can you offer God that is worthy of His blessing?"<br><br>I, like everyone else, am hopelessly lost; there’s absolutely nothing that I can do to save myself! <br><br>Now, what is it that I’m to be saved from, death. Or, this eternal punishment?<br><br>You say: “What I can't figure is how God could choose to save ANY of us in the first place--for NONE of us is any better than ANY of those above. This reveals to me a very loving and merciful God and one whom I can worship!”<br><br>Do your really believe that you deserve to be burned alive forever by a loving god, are your sins so incredible? <br><br>I really don’t understand. I have lived some 60 years, I have met an incredible number of people, yet, I have never met a human being that deserves to be tortured like those Christian “saints” say that god is going to torture people because he cannot or will not save them.<br><br>Satan has brought suffering and death to the whole human race, but it is nothing like what awaits them after they die. According to you, Jesus Christ will torture forever or allow to be tortured the majority of the human race, and this is justice? In one moment, in the fires of hell, Jesus Christ will inflict or allow to be inflicted more pain and agony on each person than Satan inflicted on that person during their entire lifetime. <br><br>If this torture lasts forever then each person will suffer more than all the suffering of all the people that ever lived on earth, many times over.<br><br>Pharaoh, Nero, and Hitler, the devil himself, name the worst that have ever lived on this earth, the most evil people or beings that have ever lived, you make Jesus Christ a billions times, infinite times, more vicious an vindictive than all the evil men that have ever lived. And, this is justice?<br><br>Please, I just don’t get it, I cannot worship such a being. Please, I'm begging you, help me understand this, do your really believe that God Almighty will do such as thing?<br><br>
