But not just those who are neither good or bad, right? It's also silent about those who've done evil works, but not committed any infinite evils (from your claims, I mean).YIOSTHEOY wrote:Nice paradox.
My understanding of Early Christianity (not to be confused with post-Nicene Christianity which began in 325 AD only) is that Hell is reserved for those who commit infinity evil, whereas Heaven is reserved for those with good works as explained in Matthew Chapter 25.
There is little explanation given by Jesus or anybody else what happens to those souls who are neither evil nor good -- who are lukewarm -- who have done no good works nor any evil works either.
I get the impression that the premise you take issue with is the third one ("Humans can only commit finite crimes"). Certainly you've been claiming that infinite crimes exist. I'll argue on behalf of that premise later--for now, would you agree that if that premise were true, God could not justly send people to Hell?
Can you please quote the loaded question you think I'm asking? I know my classic fallacies quite well, but I didn't feel like I made any unfair assumptions when I asked my questions.My technical answer to you is that you have loaded the question therefore your original statement is obviously a fallacy.
I would give you a citation for classic fallacies but the website won't let me do this yet.
If murder is an infinite crime, it wouldn't increase in severity when repeated a finite amount of times. I have a friend who killed someone many years ago. Certainly, I think it was a bad thing he did, and I think that he deserved to be punished. And he was--he went to prison for many years and is now on parole, as he will be for the rest of his life. However, I wouldn't consider him as deserving infinite punishment, and I wouldn't consider him as bad as Adolf or Stalin. However, I would consider him as having committed a worse crime than someone who killed a horse (which, if you accord horses the same standing as humans, is presumably tantamount to murder). But you think that all of these crimes are infinite, no? And hence deserving of infinite punishment? I think the levels of severity they demonstrate are vastly different.YIOSTHEOY wrote:Imagine Adolf or Stalin, or anyone else who has murdered millions of people. You cannot seriously expect them to be granted forgiveness.
