   Read the verse, it had nothing to do with hellfire.   
      
   Deu 16:22 Neither shalt thou set thee up any image; which the LORD thy God   
   hateth.   
      
   Why does he hate?   
   Why is he provoked to wrath?   
      
   Deu 9:7 Remember, and forget not, how thou provokedst the LORD thy God to   
   wrath in the wilderness: from the day that thou didst depart out of the land   
   of Egypt, until ye came unto this place, ye have been rebellious against the   
   LORD.   
      
   2Ki 22:17 Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other   
   gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands;   
   therefore my wrath shall be kindled against this place, and shall not be   
   quenched.   
      
   If God spared not these people, then why would you be spared?   
      
   Why are men commanded to hate?   
      
   Amo 5:15Hate theevil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate:   
   it may be that the LORD God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of   
   Joseph.   
      
   Zec 8:17And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his   
   neighbour; and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate,   
   saith the LORD.   
      
   Is not God a God of justice?   
      
   Then what makes you think he will give evil a pass?

   If there were no hellfire, then what are people saved "from"?   
   Why do you still knowingly sin?
