You say that someone who rejects the torturous flames of a bar-b-que pit are measuring justice in terms of how small man is and what he does? God's justice is shown in His supposed creation of a literal fire where dead souls are roasted forever? You've got it backward, Tall Guy. Eternal punishment is not commensurate with God's worth! It depends totally on what a person's heart is like, and what punishment is fair. God would not torture someone forever for that person's sins that he practiced for a few years on Earth. Eternal torture would not fit the crime. Why would God roast somebody forever with there not being any end to it? Just agony and screams forever! For what purpose? So the person would learn something? No, because that person is there forever. Such sick reasoning is partly why people of this world reject God.....to them He is not loving.
No, it is as Mikiel said.....it is what men would like to do to people, not God.
You made my point exactly - your measure of what is appropriate punishment was all about man, who man is, how long man lives, what is in man's heart...
