Don't merely quote
Heb 9:27
You have been quoted dozens of scriptures about eternal torment. But you don't accept any of them, you simply say they make God wicked. Maybe your idea of what wicked is, is wrong. I'm not sure posting any more scripture will change your mind.
Luke 16:26; And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been set, so that those who want to go over from here to you will not be able, nor will
any people cross over from there to us.’
Luke 16:27; And he said, ‘Then I request of you, father, that you send him to my father’s house—
Luke 16:28; for I have five brothers—in order that he may warn them, so that they will not come to this place of torment as well.’
Luke 16:29; But Abraham *said, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them hear them.’
Luke 16:30; But he said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent!’
Luke 16:31; But he said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be persuaded even if someone rises from the dead.’”
Yes, Lazarus and the rich man again. The rich man is in hell of course (being tormented) but he asks Abraham to send Lazarus back and tell his 5 brothers. (so that they wont come to this place of torment)
But Abraham says they've already heard God's word, they've already heard the prophets. In other words, they've already had their chance. Once they are here, it's too late. You don't get a second chance.
God could give people hundreds of chances, but some people will never accept Him. In fact God DOES give people chance after chance, opportunity after opportunity.
We have our entire lives to come to God. If the average age of people is somewhere between 70 and 80, that's a lot of years and a lot of chances.
But some people refuse to hear, some people refuse to accept Jesus. In fact there is a very real danger, that even here on Earth, after rejecting God over and over again, God says fine.
I'll give you over to the sinful life you want.
Rom 1:23; and they
exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible mankind, of birds, four-footed animals, and crawling creatures.
Rom 1:24; Therefore
God gave them up to vile impurity in the lusts of their hearts, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them.
Rom 1:25; For they
exchanged the truth of God for falsehood, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
Rom 1:26; For this reason
God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged natural relations for that which is contrary to nature,
Rom 1:27; and likewise the men, too, abandoned natural relations with women and burned in their desire toward one another, males with males committing shameful acts and receiving in their own persons
the due penalty of their error.
Rom 1:28; And
just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a depraved mind, to do those things that are not proper,
Rom 1:29;
people having been filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed,
and evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit,
and malice;
they are gossips,
But instead of accepting that people have to accept God and repent, you will find a way to say this paints God in an evil light. It isn't God who is being wicked here.
If God let all the wicked unrepentant people into heaven, then heaven would become wicked. Then God truly would be wicked.
