2 Peter 3:9

[alanmolstad]

what has happened in the minds of many men throughout history is that they get mixed up and start to create a god in their own image.
They create a god that is a hostage to his feelings.

what this means is that because we humans tend to swing from one emoution to another, and in doing so become consumed by our feelings along the way , they creat a god who also is subject to great mood swings.
They know "God is Love"....and this is twisted into an idea about god that makes him stuck with this 'love" to the point of being unable to judge....unable to do what is right, if doing what is right would be something that caused anyone any pain at all....

This is due to the idea that some men have that anyone who would cause great pain cant be loving.
And that is due to how such men understand the word "love".


So, the result is that throughout history we have been hearing about a "Gentile Jesus meek and mild" that would NEVER condemn a person to eternal hell fire!
But to support this idea about a meek and non-judging god, these men have to remove the teeth of many Bible verses that clearly show us that God condemns and clearly there are souls lost in hell's eternal fire.

Thus the god these men creat is not just "unwilling" to condemn.....he becomes "unable" to condemn.

2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

With reference to 2 Peter 3:9, is there any one currently in hell that is there by the will of God? Where have you clearly answered the question?
