hellfire is God dishonoring

the thought that was used that God would make a new infinite body to torture someone for the rest of eternity is not only false and against what the Bible teaches, BUT IT DISHONORS GOD.!!!

The scriptures teach that "the dead are conscious of nothing at all" - Ecclesiastes 9:5 and that "the soul that is sinning, it itself will DIE" - Ezekiel 18:4

Also, Acts 24:15 says "and I have hope toward God, which hope these men themselves also entertain, that there is going to be a resurrection of BOTH the righteous and the UNRIGHTEOUS"

Lies about a cruel and hard heated God drive people away from God. If my child, being imperfect were to do something bad, I would not hold there hand over a fire for even a minute, let alone forever, and neither would the loving, forgiving, patient creator!
