How would God punish a masochist?

He wouldn't punish the sub; he'd punish the sub's dom.

God does not stop loving you no matter what you do. God loves killers and homosexuals and republicans and everyone else.\n\nI do not understand why God chooses to punish us for sinning, but rest assured that he does not do it out of hate. God wants us to make our own decisions to worship him or not because God is very insecure and needs the unforced love of his creations to feel whole, but just as you can love or a child even when they have done bad, the sky daddy loves you.

NOOOO!!!!!\n\nRepent and he will forgive you. He does not want you to do this and died so you can be forgiven. If you will not repent he suggests that plucking out your eye is a better alternative then hell!\n\nLeave the body parts he gave you alone, try to be as good as you can and appologize to God when you slip up.\n\nI hope this question was a joke. God Bless You!!

There is a passage in the Bible that says that the sins of the fathers will be visited upon the children. I don't think that it means that in a literal sense God will punish children for their parents' wrongdoing. Rather, I think it means that the actions of the parents will have consequences that will affect the children.

A very good question.\n\nNobody likes to think their loved ones are bad people or that their own heaven will exclude the things or people that they love. It is a no win argument, either the God/Gods will punish the wrong doers and in the process do evil to the person who did no wrong, or the God/Gods have to forgive everyone for their crime and heaven will be open for everyone even if they don't believe.\nMaybe there is a true God that does not punish and the Gods we all hear about are all just the Devil, making threats and forcing people to follow them. Even more radical would a true loving God exclude anyone? or even judge people?

If he had converted to any other religion, then most likely he would still be sitting in prison.  The fact that he converted to Christianity and Christians protested, is what got him freed from a lifetime of imprisonment and abuse.

I think he has been punished by being shown to all as one of the people that he spent years preaching against. The closest thing to punishment I would like to see is for him to realize the harm he has done with his words demonizing gay people.

Life in prison.  He would be punished in the worst ways every day that way.  If he were given the death penalty, he probably thinks he will be rewarded in heaven so no use giving him that satisfaction even if he is destined for hell.

Revelations 9:4-6\n\nAnd it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads. And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months; and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion when it striketh a man. And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.\n\nThat's who Christ wants to torture. He wants to torture nonbelievers. He wants them to beg for death but just keep torturing them and torturing them for months on end.

Hang him up by his "your know whats" and let him see how it feels to be tortured like he has tortured so many other people or had them tortured.  He should be ashamed of himself and his family.  Thank you for your question.\n\nThe UN is designed to be a part of history as referred to Bibically.  It is a system that is to be set up before Jesus' return.  Read your Bible please.

People Don't give him grief give him an answer!!!! I suggest going to your old church building on Sunday,(9:00, 11:00 or 1:00) find an old friend and ask them where to go, before you know it you'll be back in the swing of things!! As far as punishment, none, at least that depends on the people of your ward. Some wards are full of real jerks and if you miss one day they stare at you all the time. But we will not hang you by your thumbs or anything like that. the only punishment you really get is the grief that the anti-Mormons on this site will give you, just ignore them they haven't even been to a meeting, they don't know what their talking about.

The only problem with this form of punishment is it does nothing to remove the mental drive of the perpetrator. He will still have the same thoughts. Maybe a combination, frontal lobotomy and castration, will do the trick, but I can't see any State passing this into law. I'm more in favor of the two strikes and your shot approach. Besides, bullets are so much cheaper than surgery.

God's goodness demands that He punish evil. But it does not restrict Him from taking that punishment upon Himself, in the form of His only Begotten Son, the Messiah Jesus.\n\nHowever, if you only want to continue in your sins, there is no point in bringing you to Heaven, where there is no sin (Revelation 21:8, 22:11; John 3:16-21).

Well in his eyes; yes. Unless he did something out of ignorance and deserved it. My Pastor said a story about a man who wasn't wise. This man just went up to people and told them to their face "you're a sinner." This man thought he was doing God's work by letting the people know what they are, but in reality he wasn't. One day he said this to a man and that man hit the "holy man" in the face and he thought to himself "I am being persecuted for doing Gods work" then he told my pastor and my pastor told him, "it wasn't persecution, it was ignorance that got you hit in the face because we're supposed to show mercy to others." Sometimes it's not persecution, but ignorance, just like sometimes it's not the devil that looks for us, but us to him and that is what I call ignorance. Either way, in his head he might think that he is being persecuted, but if he gets hit for being ignorant... his ignorance was the cause of it.

You are really a glutton for punishment, aren't you?  It was people like you, ignoramous, that beat Him to a pulp and crucified Him.\n\nIt was because of the sins of mankind, and our self-destructive ways, that caused Jesus to be crucified, don't you even try to "blame God" for that one, you will surely rot in hell.
