What will be the point of sinners burning for all eternity? As at present, God has safely hidden Himself preventing Him from afflicting pain to the sinners by His presence. Why would He change this in order to inflict torment to people who can't repent?

For a time is understandable, but forever and forever? It is better He isn't termed a loving God. Whichever way you you look at it, eternal torment does not equal love.

I love my girlfriend too much, that the best I can do is to let her go; not to inflict torment in her heart and soul always by my presence. She is always in pain whenever she sees me, and because I love her and would prefer that she is happy, joyful, and in peace, I would rather stay away from her.

If God is love, then He always feel pain when beholding a suffering individual. He always longs to help them, to take away their pain and sadness. God always feel compassion for the helpless with a deep desire that they may know Him. Actually, God "so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever shall believe in Him, shall not perish, but have everlasting life".

Stating that those who shall refuse to believe in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life in torment is entirely unbiblical.

Ndigila, not only will eternal pain show how cruel and blood thirsty God is, but also bind Him in equal pain forever and ever because He shall always feel the pain of the tormenting sinners; unless He is not a loving compassionate Being.
