Is God bloodthirsty?

Q: Is God bloodthirtsty?  A: No.  While some attempt to explain this, most dont fully explain it well.(1) Here is what needs to be understood: The issue has to do with "perfection". God is perfectly  holy and we as fallen ones lost perfection when Sin entered thru Adam. The focus [in answering a question like this] needs to be on explaining it from this lense.  All Sin = is crime against God. All sin is an assault on God's character and nature, as we as his creation were made in His Image and to live righteously. Since Adam lost that righteous nature at the Fall, we all only deserve death AND damnation (since 1. in eternity; after death, we cannot be in His presence. Though made to have a relationship, a fellowship with God, its impossible both while we are sinners AND after death). 2.

Hell or Righteousness

Image
Do Christians share the Gospel of God to help us escape Hell, is it about righteousness, or both? Or more? Primarily it is about the desire to have and live in righteousness.  Ultimately, it is to have a restored standing with God; to live as we were designed to.   Yes there is an aspect of avoiding Hell and Judgment as Scripture says. Note:  even if He didn't save any of us, as our Creator and God we should worship, revear & properly fear him, and obey... regardless.  Christians know Judgment is coming. This world is going down in flames (like the titanic), the redeemed ones are directing people into the lifeboats (Jesus); just as God directed Noah into the Ark, Christians are directing people into the boat of salvation where righteousness is. Salvation isnt ultimately about escaping Hell, it is about desiring righteousness, having the righteousness of Christ  [which also does cover & shelters you from Judgment & punishment of your sins], and ...
