Why would god give us the ability to question his existence and then send us to an eternity of torture if we do?

I liked Cornelius' answer and I will put forward what I believe to be a similar one. The "sin" problem is not an abstract theological things that has no connection with the physicality of our world (Cornelius emphasises this and I agree with him). Here is my "point form" take on why Jesus had to die. As you will see, I see the action of Jesus on the cross as being more of a "repair" job than a purely judicial transaction involving purely abstract notions like guilt, justice, punishment, etc.Event_Horizon said:When you say Jesus died in my place, do you mean God would have elminated all humans if Jesus had not been crucified?
Event_Horizon said:Sorry, getting ahead of myself.
I'm not familiar with the bible directly, and don't know what it says in there. But from what you say, if we deny that jesus died for us, then we are seperating ourselves from god. First off, what exactly did Jesus do when he allowed himself to be crucified? What does, "died for our sins", actually mean?

shad said:Hi Event, nice to meet you.
Are you interested in knowing God or the Bible? If you are not, no matter what the Bible say, you will not accept it. You should make up your mind which and be honest about it to the borad or you are wasting everyone's time with questions. If you are sincere to know God and the Bible we are happy to answer your questions.
thank you

Mass can't "explode" once it's past the event horizon, the graviatational pull is too strong to allow anything to move away from the center of the black hole.
Free said:God doesn't send anyone to hell for questioning his existence and hell isn't necessarily and eternity of torture. People will end up in hell for rejecting Christ's atoning sacrifice. If people want to maintain their separation from God in this life, it will result in their permanent separation in the next.
