    It is not God who rejects us, it is us that reject God

    and the concept of hell is basically a place without God

    you didnt want God your entire life, so yeah, you wont be with God, you have free will

    but ohhh you want the privileges that come with creation and God himself but not put in any spiritual effort yourself?

    God is a fair judge, and he cant just let people off UNLESS someone else takes the punishment

    Jesus took the punishment

      Why not? Seriously. He set up the system. Why require punishment in that system? Jesus and God are the same person (hence “triune” ), so He essentially had us torture and kill Himself to appease His own vengeance.

      He could have forgiven us without preconditions. He chose to require punishment. Then He chose to be tortured and killed . Now He demands that we thank him for it or He’ll punish us for eternity. That’s psychopath behavior.

        because there are consequences for your actions?

        and the trinity is comprised of three different persons and one God

        We know very little about hell currently, and dantes inferno isnt canon

          Infinite consequences for finite actions? Seems disproportionate.

          One all knowing God who decided to sacrifice Himself to Himself to pay a price He wanted to pay.

          We know it is eternal and irrevocable, and it is meant as punishment. Punishing someone eternally is immoral. There’s no way around that. It doesn’t matter what they did.
