So, after he landed on the ground from eight floor and switching in to "ghost mode" he was met by demons in human shape. Those guys gave him a tour in hell, where people were tortured and regenerated constantly. And after the tour, judge(Some sort of hell king) asked him "Will you serve God? Or you would wish to proceed with your afterlife(he was destined to some sort of helish existance according to the judge). The 20 year old just promised to serve the God, after seeing the hell.

Under the threat of torture, guy was basically blackmailed in to becoming Gods servant. Love is great, isnt it? This russian indeed had gave up 20 years of his life and most likely will sacrifice the rest, but is this love you would like to be subjected to?

He.....................................became..................................Hellboy?????????????????????????????

King or a judge in his NDE trip was a basically a servant of God himself, so he offered him the same thing.

a lot of it has to do with seeking God and experiencing the supernatural for yourself. The spirit realm is more real that the physical. Most are just blind to it.

No it isn't. Point to one instance where supernatural has been proven to be the answer once thoroughly investigated just one. You see supernatural is just a way of saying "magic" and it is a lie, every single instance without exception.

Q: If God is a God of love, why would he create humans knowing the mass majority would end up in hell?

A: God is indeed a God of love. He loves all of his creations yet holds humanity among his favourite and loves them more than the others. First and foremost he created us with the gift of freewill. He gave us a perfect earth with no death or sickness. It was all just sex, good food, beautiful views, and tame animals. God had a very personal relationship with Adam and Eve. He didn’t force them into loving him back. He gave them an escape button. They took it. He is always chasing after our hearts and only wants us to chase after his heart.  His love is not forced and he gives us an option. Think of it as you have 5 children. Three of them will end up addicted to drugs and being thrown into prison for stealing and murder. The other two will solve world hunger, cure cancer, and lead the nations with strong morality. You have a choice to kill them all or raise them all. God chooses to raise them all up with the same amount of love and chances to love him back. Only two choose to love him back and let him pure his knowledge and supernatural love into and the other two rejected him yet he was still with them even if they couldn’t see.

Ask your religion teacher this: When a former enemy people of the jews wanted to be subjugated to jewish rule and worship yhwh, why did yhwh then demand their extermination?

Actually God is "Agape' " which is translated into this one word love. a word who meaning typically relates to emotion. However the word Agape' while has an emotional attachment to it, is not founded on emotion to define it's primary elements. Agape' is more like a deep respect or honors it's recipient. So to say God loves you like some hippy do-gooder or even a mother or father is wrong. We in english do not have a true translation for the word agape' which is why it is simply translated love as it shares elements of the word but is not a true translation.

So does God love you? No, not as you understand the word. It's even better God Agape' the world that He gave his only son that who soever believes shall not perish.

Free-will... Not a thing. At least not a biblical thing. Free will is a ancient greek construct and is found no where in the bible. Later (like centuries) free will was adopted by the church to explain away contradictions found in some of the man made doctrines the church was making outside of scripture.
In truth the bible calls us slaves that have been given choice. One to either serve sin, or to serve God. We have no free will as the Greek philosophy you are thinking of describes it. We are either slaves of God or slaves to sin. but have been given the ablity to whom we wish to serve.

Yeah, blood sacrifice is pretty dumb, according to most people. So I'm supposed to believe your blood sacrifice story because . . . why?


Anyway, what's this "we" shit? You're a virgin, right? A virgin Christian? Splendid!

Now, would you please step just a bit closer to the big wicker effigy?  

Not going to work, Crossless. Remember the last time the ritual was tried with somebody other than a Scottish policeman?
