It is a popular false teaching in the world and even in some churches today that God is all loving means no wrath, no Hell, no punishments, he tolerates whatever you feel like doing. But this is not the truth of God, when Jesus was on Earth he wasn’t this weak person who never pushed any buttons, he didn’t have a problem calling out evil. Jesus refuted, rebuked the Pharisees and the Sadducees to their face numerous times. (Matthew 23:25, Matthew 3:7, Matthew 23:13)
the fact is that Jesus knew when to be soft, he also knew when to be harsh, tough love is sometimes necessary in life depending on the situation, rebuke is sometimes necessary. (Proverbs 27:5-7) He knew which situation merited a gentle approach (The adulteress women situation comes to mind) and when he needed to be strong and blunt. (Matthew 21:12-13)
Remember back to when you were a child and your dad would discipline you when you broke the rules, well this is what God does with us (Hebrews 12:6-7) however sin is worse to God because he is a holy, righteous, sinless, infinite being, and while he still loves us no matter what, that doesn’t mean he tolerates evil, and that doesn’t mean there are no punishments.
Jesus showed righteous anger while on Earth, he demonstrated that righteous anger is not a sin, rebuking is not a sin (1 Timothy 5:20), being angry at someone without a cause is what is a sin. (Matthew 5:22) Jesus told us to judge righteous judgement. (John 7:24) God is angry at the wicked (Psalms 7:11) and there are things he does hate.(Proverbs 6:16-19) This notion that God can’t or won’t send people to hell because he is loving is completely contrary to scripture. (Revelation 20:10)
Hell is real and most are absolutely going there immediately after death for eternity of torment (Matthew 25:46, 2 Thessalonians 1:9, Luke 13:23-24) God is loving, holy, just, all of these things are true. That doesn’t change the fact that the wicked will be turned into Hell (Psalms 9:17), the fact is that God is completely justified in sending people to Hell and the bible tells us that he will indeed send most people there. (Matthew 7:13–14) We can’t put our human opinions or attributes on the the things of God, his mind is not our mind. (Isaiah 55:8)
Weakness is not an attribute of God (2 Corinthians 13:4) God cannot tolerate evil, wickedness in his sight (Habakkuk 1:13) the only way we are justified before him is if we have faith in Jesus (Romans 5:1) Jesus is the only way for us to be righteous before a holy and just God. (Titus 3:7) Without Jesus we don’t have life (1 John 5:12)
