Isiah 53 5.This thread is remarkably free of Scripture. I'd like to see some indication that God actually does punish every sin no matter how minor, before discussing the reasons why.
The Bible shows punishments of various kinds: in the OT we have what is in effect the municipal code of Israel. The prophets talk about Israel as a whole being punished for widespread, unrepentant sin.
In the NT most talk of punishment is from Jesus, but his account of punishment represent the results of a whole life that's either useless (no fruit) or in serious opposition to God. For Paul's letters, judgement is for those who persecute Christians, or who reject Christ.
But I'm not seeing where God sends someone to hell for imperfection. Indeed Jesus teaches that this is not the case.
