Recently, I was listening to a Christian radio show, and the subject that day was on hell. A person called in and asked the host if he had children. The host confirmed he did. The caller then asked; "Could you ever take even one of your children and throw them into a fireplace and watch them burn for disobeying you?"
The host said he would never do that to one of his children.
The caller then said, "Well, we are all God's children because He is our creator, and you're telling people God would do something even you've admitted you would never do, and on top of that, saying God will let them suffer for eternity!"
The fascinating part for me came with the Host's answer.
He said; "Yes, we all have a common creator in God. But the Bible is clear, that doesn't make you His child. God also created trees, rocks, lizards, and cockroaches - that doesn't mean He's their dad. We become God's adoptive children at conversion. Before that, we are all children of the devil. So, in fact, God would never throw one of His children into the fire. Nor would I."
The host said he would never do that to one of his children.
