Even though this is a form of 'anthropological theology', I do find this more commensurate with 'the fullest revelation of God' (Jesus - to quote Caroline) than that which is being put forward by some others. IFF they have unwittingly mishandled scripture, how sad for the sake of the gospel.
 
Caroline has been a breath of fresh air on TT.

DAVEH:    What crime deserves physical torture forever, Terry?    If somebody brutally murdered your only son, would you want to physically torture him?   And....would you want such torture to go on forever???  If you feel that way, I do feel sorry for you, as it would make you an ogre.  If you don't feel that way....I don't understand why you think God would feel that way, as it would make him seem like an ogre.

On ly one crime is that terrible, Dave, rejecting Christ.  I am not that important.  My son was not that important.  Neither of us has done anything wonderful for humanity.  We are sinners
  Only murdering God carries such a penalty, and anyone who rejects Him is complicit in His death.
DAVEH:  My understanding of your belief is that those who accept him are complicit in His death.   Why would those who would say no thank you to Jesus be complicit?
  I feel that way because God has said that in His word.
DAVEH:  I'm not sure what you are thinking about.....Can you give me a reference on that, Terry.
I believe Him. To say otherwise would be to Judge God and find Him unworthy.
DAVEH:  Perhaps from a believer's standpoint.  But I don't see how that applies to an unbeliever---somebody who has never accepted Jesus to start with.
