The only one who should be troubled about Hell is the sinner who has heard the Gospel and refused to obey it. Those who choose to reject Christ and His offer of eternal life are the ones who should be greatly troubled....I am quite troubled by it.

As to "fairness", when did sinful, mortal human beings receive the privilege of sitting in judgment on the Lord God Almighty?
All this talk about "fairness" is pure humanistic thinking. We can either believe that God is righteous is ALL His ways, or we can disbelieve it.
Job8,
Fairness is our human response, often when we see experiences of injustice in our world.
I reject the idea that fairness comes from a humanistic emphasis.

Isaiah 1:18a (ESV)
God gave us the ability to reason and consider, and in these last days He has given us of His very character. You have intellectualized and rationalized God as a monster.
Oz, do you need my other post spelled out? Hell is where the rich man was in torments, and the passage you use to say there is a state of torment after death. But in Revelation we are told that very same hell is tossed into the lake of fire, which is the second death.
You cannot show me a second life after death - or is hell burning forever even as it burns sinners forever? You're stuck defending your position instead of the truth.
Use the God given reason - people find themselves repulsed at the idea of someone burning forever for crimes committed in an instant by comparison. Why are they repulsed? The same reason murder and theft and cruelty repulse them - our God given reasoning.
You are saying that God is a cruel monster. __________________

Nope it attributes to his Divine Justice. God does not send people to hell/LoF, people send themselves to hell/LoF.
The whole idea of God being cruel because people are in hell/going to the LoF is a tiresome argument that has no bases in scripture.
And I ask everyone to get back to the Orthodox version of hell. Discussions of Unorthodoxy of hell is not allowed in this forum.
It's a non issue - you propose that sinners live eternally separated from God. The bible says they suffer the second death.
What you propose and contend attributes cruelty on God's part.
