>> And if your hand causes you to sin, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go to hell, to the unquenchable fire. And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life lame than with two feet to be thrown into hell. And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out; it is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into hell, where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched. For every one will be salted with fire. Salt is good; but if the salt has lost its saltness, how will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another. (Mk 9:43-50) <<
God created a beautiful world and planned to severely punish those who disregard God's laws and destroy the world. And God wanted to be loved and respected as the father by humans to whom he gave life. Forever.
Certainly the unredeemed sinners will suffer an extreme pain in hell later, think of their eternal suffering, and cry out, "Our punishment is too severe for us. God is unjust and merciless!"
Then God will say to them, "Am I a merciless God? No way! Look at those who live as sons and daughters of God and enjoy eternal blessings in heaven. I am a merciful God who forgives sinners and gives them eternal life."
Like this, God will clothe with glory and honor those who believe in his Son Jesus, even in order to stop the mouths of the complaining sinners forever.
So, how pitiful are the wicked who are now living a healthy and prosperous life inside and outside the church, destroying the glory of God! There are a lot of wicked people who do not even think of repenting under the illusion that they are not sinners. Some of them hold high offices with respect. Health, longevity, wealth, and honor are poison that paralyzes their conscience.
Poor wicked ones, you're just vessels to contain God's justice and wrath. Oh, how terrible their eternal punishment will be! Didn't Jesus say, "Cut off even your hand, foot, and eye, for you should enter not the hell but the heaven!"?
The reason why the wicked go to hell is that there is not a place to live in together in the eternal heaven for the creatures who have lost their taste of the creatures. The wicked are those who have lost the taste of creature. A creature would repent and try to be a new man when God rebukes the sins. This is a creature that hasn't lost the taste of creature. This creature obtains eternal life. When a creature loses his taste, he ignores God's law and lives as he likes, and is forsaken forever by God and is cast into hell.
In general, if one loses the taste, he not only becomes useless but also becomes evil. When a pastor loses the taste of pastor, he becomes a religious businessman; when a layman loses taste, he dislikes responsibility and hardship; when a wife loses taste, she is much interested in other men; when a student loses taste, he does not respect his teacher.
