Well, she's correct there. God really is going to DO AWAY with Evil; not just merely 'lock it up' in an underground dungeon.
--- Quote ---She also said that it is absolutely ridiculous to believe that God will actually save the entire human race, because then Jesus death was for nothing...
--- End quote ---
Wow! On the contrary, IF God doesn't save the world, then Christ died for nothing:
"For I came... to SAVE the World" John 12:47
"I ...will draw ALL mankind unto Me" John 12:32
"And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world." I John 4:14
etc.....
--- Quote --- She said we can't argue with the scriptures, and that it is blasphemous to question God's methods of punishment.

She's absolutely right! You should warn her to stop doing it... :D ;)

I've tried witnessing to family, friends, co-workers, etc.. even a couple of pastors that I am close with.
Absolutely none of them want to listen. In fact, they usually shake their heads and wave their hands to end a conversation before I can really get a few basic thoughts out.
What the others have stated is exactly true.. However, I think part of our learning is having to at least try to witness our newfound truths. It's part of the process WE go through in learning that God is in complete control, and that everything will be done in His time.
Personally, I just wish *I* wasn't such a slow learner.. Feels like I've been banging my head against a brick wall for awhile now :D

Where I work a few years back a woman and her husband, both small town baptist christians and proud of it, started a conversation about how good god is, loving and all that stuff. I was 'new' to BT at the time and had just enough 'new' knowledge to be dangerous, ridiculous, and somewhat proud. Hell came up. They said 'if someone has to go up, someone has to go down'. I asked them which 'god' they worshipped? You'd thought I told them their grandmother had BO.
If someone wants to talk about godly things I'll go along a bit with the common stuff, but rarely now do I speak on deeper things I've learned from BT. It just isn't worth the blank stares anymore.
Not everyone feels the same but the point is I don't think it's up to me to educate anyone on anything. Especially when I'm not educated enough myself.
No personal offensiveness to you, just making a comment is all.
Besides, God hasn't seen it yet that I'm in control and he's not. ;)
