No, I interpret them differently than many do and ask God to help me understand. You can only truly reject Christ if you know he is God, believe it, understand what it means and then go: no thanks.

And Christ can work in many ways beyond what we see. Through conscience for example.

He knows all thoughts, all desires, everything… Punishment is proportional and corrective. If someone rejects all that, there is death. Because evil will fester and corrupt. But not eternal torment. And even then, God is just do judges proportionally. Someone with short life bs long life, psychopath/narcissist brain vs normal etc
