I don't believe Christian mandates apply to those who don't claim to be one. See: Israel being 'God's Chosen/Set Aside'

Correct - pretty core doctrine to a biblical Christianity. Unpleasant, yes. Willing to be proven wrong/learn more, absolutely.

I'm not sure what you mean? Core doctrine does seem to be that non-believers go to hell.

If so, Christian mandates do apply to everyone. All are judged & sent somewhere.

not thru govt enforcement or human coercion. Only thru voluntarism. Christian mandates matter 0% if no 'heart change'

No, by God. It is God who is believed to deny freedom of belief & expression & punish people horribly for wrongthink.

So, I'm interested in ppl who see this as an ethical problem when societies do it but ethically sound when God does.

I'm willing to dig deeper into this if you have recs. I imagine in part it's because God has ultimate authority/man does not.

That's it. I see a contradiction. Others don't. When I believed, I was terrified for myself & others all the time.
