Human beings have certain rights that if violated constitute a crime against humanity.
It remains a crime regardless of who the perpetrator is. Almightiness does not make evil behavior righteous.
Well, you see, you're working from yourself to God and, not surprisingly, you've got the wrong end of the stick about Him. Humans have no rights that God did not give them. Their very existence depends utterly and totally upon Him every moment of every day. God has complete authority and power over every one of us. He made us and sustains us and can, therefore, do as He pleases with us. We are in His universe; He calls all the shots.
God gives life and He takes it. Never, though, is God a murderer in doing so. All life is His; there is no life without Him. What human can boast the same? None! No one! We are mere creatures; He is the Almighty Creator. What is true of Him, then, is not necessarily true of us - and vice versa.
Isaiah 55:8-9
8 "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways," says the Lord.
9 "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.
So, judging God on the basis of how you judge other humans makes a profound category error. God is not just another human. And judging Him as though He is another profound error.
Requesting that people in heaven enjoy themselves while their brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers, uncles, cousins friends and acquaintances roast alive is an evil request.
This is an
emotional statement, but it is not a particularly rational one. And it is a Strawman to boot. We will not be looking upon God's wrathful judgment of the wicked as an evil thing but as a demonstration of His perfect justice and holiness. Seeing justice done perfectly will not be a cause for sorrow but for worship. Your emotional thinking has clouded your mind to this fact.
Reminds me of what Pizzaro did to the Inca ruler when he forced him to dine with him with courtyard full of corpses of the Incas he had slaughtered in full view. Yet what Pizzaro did pales which what you claim God demands.
But as I've already pointed out, Pizarro isn't God. He is no more like God than the clay pot a potter has made is just like the potter! But you seem to think they are the same (or, at least, close enough for direct comparison)! No wonder, then, that you're all topsy-turvy about God's holy justice. But this is what happens when God gets diminished in our thinking.
That we enjoy heaven while he roasts millions of humans alive simply for the purpose of inflicting agony..
Not simply to inflict agony but to justly punish terrible, terrible wickedness.
The basis for rejection of the concept is that it plays into Satan's hands via defamation of God's character just as he cunningly defamed God in Eden via spreading lies concerning the evil God is capable of doing. That is my viewpoint. So I guess we simply disagree.
It is not simply that we disagree. My view is grounded thoroughly in Scripture. I don't have to ignore or reject any of what the Bible says to hold my view. You, however,
do have to reject some very plain and straightforward declarations of Scripture to reshape God after your personal preferences.
Deserve? no creature deserves to be roasted alive forever.
God disagrees. It might have something to do with our sin being against the Almighty, Infinite Creator of Everything. Just a thought.
In fact, no creature deserves to be roasted alive even for a few seconds. It is immoral punishment and might does not and never will make it right.
Again, a very emotional appeal you make here but it is reflective mostly of how small God has become in your thinking, not of the truth of Scripture.
I noticed you didn't reconcile those verses I posted with your view of God...
Selah.
