Conflagration ??
I just thought it was an excellent post about God and the nature of His love and our relationship with God.
Not sure what you are asking...

dear designs...
you said: "Step back for a moment and really analyze what such ideas are projecting and promoting...
So when do you think Hell was created and by whom, and maybe throw in your idea of where it is."...
hell was "created" for those that want to be seperate from God...satan and his angels. I've questioned whether this earth will be the depository of those that choose not to turn to God through Jesus Christ. Jesus came to save us OUT OF THIS WORLD and into God's eternal kingdom. When the truth of the gospel message ceases to be relevent in the eyes and hearts of society and the redeemed of God pass on, might God's Holy Spirit pass into eternity with them leaving darkness over the earth? (2 thess. 2:7)
if satan and his angels hate God and His people then it can be said that an "assult" whether physical or by pumulgating misleading information is part and parcel of his "mo"...satan can easily drive a man to unreasonable hatred for God and neighbour in many ways...would these that refuse God's offer of salvation be abandoned to their own devices...hate, war, death, and ultimate destruction of this earth?...this would be a firey hell for those who's "being" (apart from the flesh) is condemned to exist here by their own choice. (2 thess. 2:1-12)
...the bible doesn't say that God created hell...maybe in these last days satan and his angels have "created" the final abode of the "dead", while Jesus Christ (the carpenters son) has been building many mansions for the redeemed.
so...those are my answers to your questions...feel free to analyze them.

God: "I'll create a bunch of weak mortals and place before them a huge test. I'm smart, so I know that most of them will fail. When they do fail, let's torture them for all eternity. Good times."

The humour aside and it was funny, LOL, where did you get that POV ?

PS, Michelle, DD others-
Substitute Thor for God (as in the Christian concept) and ascribe the love me/I judge you qualities and see how it plays out.

LOL. I do realize that this is not your view, PSac. However, I have correctly described the view of some.
I'll edit it for Deputy, below.
