Hi David. The man-made teaching of a hell that is a place of eternal torment is one of the many lies that has convinced people God is cruel and unloving. If you keep learning more about God's personality, it changes your view of him. Take a look at this article, "The Lie That Made God Cruel": http://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/wp20131101/lie-made-god-cruel-hell/

Answer 3

3 The psalmist sang: “Jehovah is gracious and merciful, slow to 8 Consider what happened after Nathan the prophet confronted King David of ancient Israel about David’s adulterous relationship with Bath-sheba. The repentant David prayed: “Show me favor, O God, according to your loving-kindness. According to the abundance of your mercies wipe out my transgressions. Thoroughly wash me from my error, and cleanse me even from my sin. For my transgressions I myself know, and my sin is in front of me constantly. Against you, you alone, I have sinned, and what is bad in your eyes I have done.”—Psalm 51:1-4.

9 David was cut to the heart. Jehovah pardoned his sin and exercised restraint in administering judgment upon him and Bath-sheba. According to the Mosaic Law, both David and Bath-sheba should have been put to death. (Deuteronomy 22:22) While they did not escape all the consequences of their sin, their lives were spared. (2 Samuel 12:13) God’s exercise of mercy entails the pardoning of error. However, he does not hold back from administering appropriate punishment.

1Since “through one man [Adam] sin entered into the world” and “the wages sin pays is death,” all humans are deserving of death. (Romans 5:12; 6:23) How grateful we can be that Jehovah shows mercy when rendering judgment! However, we must be careful not to presume upon God’s mercy. “All [Jehovah’s] ways are justice,” states Deuteronomy 32:4. In granting mercy, God does not ignore his perfect standards of justice.anger and great in loving-kindness. Jehovah is good to all, and his mercies are over all his works.” (Psalm 145:8, 9) Jehovah is “the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort.” (2 Corinthians 1:3) Mercy is shown by treating someone in a compassionate way. This is a major facet of God’s personality. His example and his instructions to us can teach us what true mercy is.

Answer 4

Of course he is love. That is why he sent his Son to pay for all

of the sins you have and ever will commit. If he wasn't merciful,

you wouldn't be here now.

If he were waiting for you to mess up, he wouldn't have to wait

long because people are constantly messing up, but you or the

ones you know haven't been tossed in a burning torment have you? He isn't looking for anyone to mess up but to fess up.

All he wants everyone to do is confess with their mouth the

Lord Jesus as the one that has already died for their sins and

believe in their heart that God has raised him from the dead, so

he can give them eternal life, joy, peace, and all the things the

Devil doesn't want them to have.

Quit trying to believe the worse about God when all he wants is

the best for you. You do both of you a disservice.

Answer 5

The idea of hell fire doesn't appear in the Bible. It was made up by men. Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10 says that we are not conscious of anything when we are dead, so how could we experience torment? If you'd like to learn more about what hell is and what it's not, read this Bible-based article. Different versions are quoted.
