How could He be angry when He knew it would happen? Because they still chose to disobey Him. He allowed it to happen because like I said, if He didn't give them the choice, they couldn't choose to love Him. It'd be like if a parent specifically told a child not to lie. Almost everyone lies, so the parent knows that the child will break that rule at some point. So should the parent not punish the child just because they knew that they would break the rule? No, that doesn't make sense. Granted, it's a little different because God knew the exact time it would happen....but still, the analogy still fits.
Why not keep hell for just satan? Because when we follow satan, we deserve it just as much as satan does! God still made a way out though, but He's not going to force us to take that way out, we have to choose it.
Why was the bible only in latin for years? Because those specific people didn't know how to translate the original scrolls. And if you read the NASB bible translation, they did use the dead sea scrolls as well and it is translated directly from the original scrolls. If there is a word in the scrolls that could mean more than one thing, they tell you all of the possible meanings.
Would it be fair to send someone to hell if they truly believed that the quran was true? Yes, because you have to remember that they aren't going to hell for being deceived by another religion....they are going to hell for the sins that they committed. Finding the right religion just would have been the way out, which we don't even deserve to start with...so it's perfectly fair.
The killing didn't need to happen again, because Jesus died to take our punishment instead of us being punished.
I'm not the one pushing you away from Christianity. I'm just quoting what the bible says, and if you're being turned off from it, that's not something that I can do anything about. I'm sorry that you feel that way though and maybe we should be done with this topic.
