If Eternal Conscious Torment is True, Then...

The Doctrine of Eternal Conscious Torment, of necessity means that...

  • Satan wins and Jesus loses – as 95% of the people He came to save will be lost to Him. His rescue mission was a failure.
  • Jesus looks at the fruit of the travail of His soul and is satisfied with rescuing 5% of the people that He created.
  • Adam is greater than Christ – because he has the power to condemn more people than Christ has the power to save.
  • Our ‘free will’ to damn ourselves for eternity exceeds the power of God’s ‘free will’ to save us.
  • Jesus is a hypocrite – because He tells us to treat our enemies differently from how He intends to treat His.
  • God does not really have the power to do what He wants to do.
  • Death and hell have not really been defeated.
  • God’s favour lasts for a moment, but his anger lasts forever.
  • You are a better, and more loving, parent than God.

...most Christians do not really believe what they believe they believe.
