A lot of well-meaning believers and false converts try to make God seem "nicer" than He is. They try to turn Him into something softer than He is. One thing you might hear them say is something like "God doesn't send anyone to hell, it's just that if you reject God in this life He honors that request and allows you to be apart from Him eternally."
Well the Bible disagrees. Here's a couple passages of the many that disprove that view:
John 3:36
"He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him."
Revelation 20:15
"And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire."
And finally very clearly Revelation 14:10 proves that Hell is not outside the presence of God as it tells us where people in Hell are in relation to God:
"...shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb
Cruelty in the bible never ceases to amaze me. god gets pissed off and drowns every living thing. What did the animals do to deserve such a cruel death? What about the newborns? Silly, really. Then every dozen or so pages, god commands someone to gather an animal, or a sibling, and senselessly slaughter them, just to make god feel better.
Then there is Lot. What a guy. "Just and Righteously" sends his virgin daughters out to be brutally raped, to spare some "angels". Then his wife gets salty about god raining fire on some cities (again, mass murder of his own people). Oh! then his daughters incestuously rape him! Awesome!
It really is one bloodfest with some good old rape, incest, and vengeance sprinkled in.

But rather an authority that we have been given, as we work in Christ and Christ in us. We are priests of God's kingdom. We do indeed speak with authority, the authority of Lord Jesus.
Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves. Numbers 31:1-18

Yep, that's a verse... With absolutely no context. I bet you think you're clever.
Children of the serpent are not to be spared. Entire peoples were given over to worshiping Ba'al. They sacrificed their children in fire. Even the little ones were corrupted.
You think you know better than your creator. We'll see how that does for you on the day of judgement.
Context: Numbers 21:16 Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the Lord in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of the Lord.
You are without excuse, having had this explained to you.
"SEEK ye wisdom whilst it may be found"..."oh lord lend ear to my supplications"..."respect the old fir they have achieved wisdom"..."ask and thou shalt receive"..."why has thou forsaken me oh lord"...so many questions, so many answers for which there are no questions, so many questions but answers are forbidden...is the teacher not to be questioned?...my epitaph will be "confusion"
[10] And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? [11] He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
Thee shall lie upon the grass and eat round cakes until the blood of egypt flows through thy testicles and a mad pack of thine sheep shall hast shat upon the rock of thy ancestors!
It is because you posted in "whatever". If you want to proselytize, why not do it in a sub with like-minded people. Then you can bask in the self-congratulatory warm glow of mutual religious masturbation.
