Thank you
You’re welcome.
Practical details about heaven and hell???..you really believe anyone, even a freeper, has those details and can prove them?
A country where many more people believe in heaven than in hell, for example, is likely to have a much higher crime rate than one where these beliefs are about equal. The finding surfaced from a comprehensive analysis of 26 years of data involving 143,197 people in 67 countries.”
==============================================================Just being a Christian and believing you have a right to live and be free is a crime in this modern world.
I have been told on occasion that I am Hellbound, being that I’m not a Christian.
Or if i was in the dessert dieing of thirst you would not stop and give me some water.
Or if i was starving to death you would not give me something to eat?
Because you saw yourself as your own god, God gives you exactly what you want, the place where you can be your own god. Everyday is the same, everyday your pleasures are the same, everyday your pain is the same.
What hell i have had here on earth i have made for my self and i think that is what you mean.
I kind of see eternal hell as being unfit to ever live again, just a lonely soul wanting to enjoy what it had before but can,t with out a body.
But the scriptures deny that kind of thinking because it says.
Matt 10:28
And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
The Bible also speaks of eternal punishment, so people can argue their heads off , one in favor of one scripture and some one else in favor of another.
But the fact is we just don,t know.
If I came across a stranger under these circumstances, I would help them.
god only created us so he, she, or it could see how much we can get away with without being caught by other humans. The person leaving the earth with the most intriguing cold cases get the biggest plots of land in heaven. Sounds like a god humanists and moral relativists can believe in.
If I came across a stranger under these circumstances, I would help them.
That is pretty much all that Jesus told Christians to do.
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you pretty much covers every thing.
Jesus also said that those who believed in him, he would raise them up at the last day.
If that’s really how you see it, I’m very sorry.
If that’s really how you see it, I’m very sorry.
No, that is your own personnel god from what you have described over the years taken to a philosophical conclusion. Confusion is your theology, so there you go.
As I said, I’m sorry for you if that is truly how you see things.
Sorry about what, lol? How do you define your god? From your post its strictly how you feel. There is no enumeration and no intellect about your theology, just “wish upon a star and gamble” bit. Hence, a confused soul who has no idea. I am the one who is sorry for you.
Ok
Yes, I do drive that particular highway (as intoned by AC/DC, and one of my favorite songs to blast as I drive).
Judging from the speedometer, I’m going to be there soon.
Indeed. While his father was wonderful(and absolutely the only reason his son gets any attention at all IMHO), does anyone actually ever listen to anything he says?
Please do not take offense to my post.
I am interested in inquiries from all POV. You raise some challenging questions that should be debated more often in the public square.
On topic, if a god is lacks perfect justice, than that god is absent of trust and loyalty on on part. Consider all the suffering in the world allowed by god. If a god only contained unconditional love, all the suffering and death would not be present in this temporal universe. How do you know if heaven awaits considering how in “unperfect” this world is? How do you trust in this god?
First of all, as far as I am concerned, there is only one God, so there is no...’a god’ in my life.
Some people are in HELL NOW....
The fires are in their mind, mental fires..
And the demons are “ideas”... they love their demons..
Its good, they need to be “there”.....
Trying to rescue them is a fools quest..
They are “there” because they need to be there..
Hell is quite real... its in the perception..
