I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard fools go off on how unjust eternal punishment is “just for denying God’s existence,” or “just for a few sins.”
Well, how would YOU know whether or not it is just?
“But nothing,” they say, “can warrant eternal punishment in hell.”
Again, how would you know whether or not eternal punishment in hell is just?
How would you know if it is a punishment that fits the crime?
Your Creator says that denial of His existence and willful disobedience of His command DOES warrant eternal separation from His presence. And if anybody would know, it would be the One who Created you.
Our fallen nature is such that we have almost zero comprehension of the wondrous perfection of love as it is found in our Creator.
Our fallen nature is such that we have almost zero comprehension of the vile and odious nature of turning our backs on what was meant to be perfection.
It doesn’t matter, technically, how MANY sins we have committed. Sin as it’s normally understood is just a symptom of the real problem, the problem of who we are, people who in our natural state are unfit to be in the presence of a perfectly Holy Creator God.
John 3:18 tells us clearly that we either allow God to change our natural state or we WILL be eternally banished from His presence - for eternity - in hell - as a just
punishment for willfully remaining in our fallen state - Period.
Some people believe that they should have a say in whether this is acceptable or not - hence the label - Fool.
