thats the way i was taught about god, if you cross him or do the opposite of what he says your going to hell........
And my religous buddies MSN name says this
"Wisdom is gained from fear of the lord"
Like i said earlier the lord/god/allah sounds like a tyrant
God is All-Mighty and All-Proud
If a king trnasgresses the bounds and becomes overproud and an oppressor, then he will becom a tyrant.
The king is only a human being: has the same defects and the same needs as other poeple, but only he is assigned a king to rule people with justice; so if he or any man wax proud then it is some of the bad conduct to be proud over others.
But to God it is not said: He is tyrant; because He is
God Almighty; He is
Superior from every respect over all other creatures; and He has the right to be
All-Proud and
All-Mighty; and at the same time He is
Just: there is no wrong-doing concerning His judgment.
(God wrongs not people in anything, but it is people who do wrong themselves.)
The above between brackets is the explanation of the Quran 10: 44
إِنَّ اللّهَ لاَ يَظْلِمُ النَّاسَ شَيْئًا وَلَكِنَّ النَّاسَ أَنفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ
So He has the soveriegnty and ownership, and none can escape His judgment; therefore He is not at haste, and does not need to wrong others in order to rule or to have control; because all the universe is by His hand and at His control.
