[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]God tortured and killed his only son because of the disobedience of the creatures he created.  If that's not vengeful I don't know what is. [/quote]
No, God [i]allowed[/i] [b]men[/b] to torture and kill Christ, and He did so because Christ willingly submitted to doing so, so that you and I and everyone else can believe on His name as instead of endure punishment for our own sins so that we can be reconciled to God and spend eternity with Him. That's love, and yes, it's love that He displayed to save us from His vengeance against all who are unrepentant for their own wrong-doings. I personally am happy that God will square accounts with all sin, which both allows justice in the universe and also frees us up to forgive others, and I am also personally happy that He provided a sacrifice so that[i] all [/i]may escape His vengeance. [b]It's not hard to admit to God that you're a sinner and that you accept Christ's sacrifice to pay your punishment, and that's all He requires. After that, He will equip you with the Holy Spirit to live for Him.[/b][/quote]
And if you don't do what he asks then what?  He casts you out of heaven which is a vengeful act.  Which would be no different than you kicking someone out of your house because they disagreed with you.[/quote]
