Why God's Love Is Conditional?
Please also shed light on the aspect of toxic authority and spiritual manipulation: Toxic Authority or Spiritual Manipulation (if done in a religious or ideological context) – Using punishment or threats to demand devotion. Healthy love is voluntary and reciprocal—it cannot be genuine if it’s demanded under threat.
I understand that you are saying God is Just and his actions are justifiable. If prayer is the manifestation of love (as per the footnote 44) and then how is love demanded from god with threat of hellfire justifiable ? Love is a natural genuine feeling and it cannot be artificial. If someone say’s that I love god because if I don’t love him then he will put me in hellfire, then p lease reflect on this sentence and see that it sounds very inauthentic and artificial. I request you to please explain how is love of god demanded under threat of hellfire justifiable in this scheme of test ?
He is not doing it for Himself. He wants his people to meet that merit, and for this, He uses the warnings. This is what we do, too, to make people aware. And this is what He does.
