I have no problem with how people react to their tormentors ie. tortures as you call them. In what I stated those in hell are there own tormentors, and they have to react to themselves and that is how I see people reacting to themselves. You're trying to interpret what I said in a way to use it to your way of thinking, take it and argue it as it is, please.

So you've got your own personal idea of hell based on your guesses and interpretations, and present it as fact. That's not worth arguing with.

I did not post it as fact as you said, I stated I could be wrong and would accept the literal given in scripture. You are a liar sir, either that or you can not understand English.

(December 5, 2014 at 7:33 pm)Godschild Wrote: In what I shared God is not responsible for their suffering, they are and they realize it. So who do they beg to for forgiveness, themselves, what good is that.

Quote:They beg for forgiveness from God. You just said they realize their situation, they know why they're there, how can they not know who to ask for forgiveness from?

Which is it beg or ask, there's a difference. They understand they are there because of what they did and they know forgiveness is not coming, because they did not do it in this life.

Quote: And if you permit someone to suffer when you could easily prevent it, you bear some of the responsibility for that suffering.

God can't do anything about it, if He were to forgive them it would make Him a liar. He said no forgiveness after the death of the body, He would be unjust if He were to change what He said, especially just so you can have your cake and eat it to.

Quote: You can agree it's just and not lift a finger, but you can't honestly take the position that you have nothing to do with it. It's like building a miserable prison, deciding who gets put in it, and saying the conditions there aren't your fault. That's bullshit.

What have I got to do with it, I chose Christ as my savior and I have more than one reason. I nor God decided who goes to hell, those who find themselves there will understand they put themselves there, it was their decision, they chose to be separated from God, that only leaves on place to be. Sorry you are having such a hard time understanding what has been given in a clear manner.

(December 5, 2014 at 7:33 pm)Godschild Wrote: Don't you think that the mental and physical stresses of hate, terror and horror as I described them would be worse than fire and brimstone.

Quote:Not even close. Being burned alive forever as is commonly depicted by fundamentalists is far worse than emotional pain. I wouldn't hesitate to choose that over physical torture. If you think you would choose otherwise, compare how long you can handle being terrified with how long you can handle holding your hand in a fire.

Okay, but I disagree.

Quote:And if I'm only punished with the hate, terror, and horror I bring with me, I'm living with that fine now, perhaps because I'm just not carrying much of that kind of baggage. I'm an easily contented guy.

Those things will come from the heart because of the understanding of what it means to live a life against God. The separation from God will bring more pain that fire, there will be a understanding of what was actually given up.

A prophet of God will foretell what God tells Him, it would be a coming event. What I said in the above bold is in the scriptures, don't need to be a prophet to find the answer. You seem very much on edge.

No, just telling you what the scriptures say, if you would at least read and study them you wouldn't have to ask so many simple questions.

Quote:A Universalist would disagree, with plenty of verses to back up what THEY think God promised: that the world would be saved through Christ, that all of the nations and families would be blessed by the descendants of Abraham, that God's anger has an end and his mercy does not.

We'll see one day who sought the truth from scripture no matter what they say, to sugar coat the truth does no one justice.

That's not an assurance. Once a worm is eaten and pooped out he would have to be considered a bad worm for not learning to survive.

I did not say that and you know that, we've been through this before, your argument is boiling down to nothing more than the same old atheist cliches.

Quote: If whatever God can possibly do is right by definition, then he is beyond morality and it makes no sense to say he's good or evil.

That's why we call him God, we do not have to describe who He is, it goes without saying, it is a given that He is perfect, without flaw.

Yes it is, yet Christ said, people would and I find it fits some here, if you can't see that you need to open your eyes. You do not need to pity me I have chosen what I want and am satisfied with my decision.

Quote: Only someone who's compassion is hobbled could not see how despicable some of your claims are. I have a strong feeling that if there is a God, he's got more of a beef with you than most of the other people here,

You should give specifics, how am I suppose to defend what you consider despicable, am I to guess and give you another opportunity to ridicule me. How is it you see my compassion hobbled, by what means.
I'm sure God has disappointments with me, I'm not perfect as you seem to think you are, that's called self righteousness and holds no water with God. So I would rather have God upset with me than to have Him to give up on me.

Quote:if so, I hope he's more merciful than you think, for your sake.

I sir will live in an eternal paradise, mercy is what I received when I accepted Christ as my savior, I have no worries, it seems though you might, at least your language hints to a nervousness.

No, I know He exists, sorry you have a problem with that, the truth is what it is and I know.

Quote:There's a Yoruban witch doctor somewhere just as sure that Chango exists. A Hindu within driving distance of you happy to tell you if you ask that she knows Ganesh is real. You don't have what they don't have: a good reason to think they're right.

Care to prove that info, or is this another one of those atheist cliches that holds no water with me. I know there dreams are just that, why, because I know God is real with no doubts and, He's said there is no other gods that exist.

Quote:That would be nice. But you don't believe the sacrifice counts unless someone says the right words in their head.

You have some kind of misguided notion to how salvation is obtained, could be if others here have the same idea, it's why they left the church. The sacrifice was made for all people, what you say with your mouth only means something when you accept the sacrifice in your heart. If you think there are some correct way of asking for salvation there's not, you just have to ask willingly.

Quote:It's not for all mankind, just for Christians (and probably not most of them), right?

If you're speaking of my above quote, yes all of mankind, if not then how could I be any better those who do not care. This is not in reference to anyone here, it's a general statement.

Quote:Because God never listens to mortals? Because God never makes deals with mere humans? Because you don't care enough about the infinite suffering you envision to beg God to withold it or mitigate it? I think it's because you like the idea of people not of your tribe suffering forever.

You know I worry about you, this is on the edge of sadist speech. You might need to look into some help.
Now to answer you, Paul said he would go to hell if all the Jews could go to heaven. He also said he knew that couldn't be, why, because it's always been about the individuals desire and Christ died as our substitute. My pleas for the lost go on in prayer and just because you do not know it doesn't mean it doesn't happen. You have been included in my prayers and I've been here for nearly 5 years, believe me I haven't stayed here this long just to be called everything in the book.

Quote:We're 'the other' and don't count as real people to you. At least that's more consistent with the way you've been acting than hollow claims that you 'care'.

I'll let the above answer speak to this, you sure seem to have anger issues are you okay.

No He can't they haven't asked, the further this conversation goes the more irritated you seem get.

Quote:We're talking about people that die, find out what the true religion is, and ask for forgiveness. And God can't keep order in his own house, no matter what, apparently.

They had their chance before death, I accepted the choice in this life, why shouldn't others have to, because they want to live their life their way. That's their choice, there's a price with that choice. I have an announcement for you please listen, since I've said this to many times, they want ask, they will only hate God even more because they seen their mistake and know what they actually gave up.

Quote:He's already proven that by having an angel rebellion. The people that qualify for getting in under the scheme you claim are no angels, they're human beings, most of whom are no different after they ask forgiveness.

Seems you do not know many Christians, and I've noticed that you are throwing blame onto everyone but the one's at fault. That's a sign of insecurity, are you really this insecure. As for the angel rebellion, God is letting evil run it's coarse, do you want to be part of the coarse, sucked into the evil Satan sales as good times. Maybe it's better to be on the side of the coarse that keeps people out of Satan's influence. I've chosen the latter, because I care, and I care because I know God is real and who He says He is.

Quote:If the kindest, warmest people on Earth who happened not to be Christians would cause trouble if allowed in heaven, how are self-righteous jackasses supposed to do better?

Self righteous jackasses want be there either.

There's a reason you missed it, it's not there. I've never sold that to you or anyone else because I know that's not the truth. Satan on the other hand would be more than happy to keep you believing that.

Because the people who run the theater are both cruel and incapable of ensuring the enjoyment of the more decorous patrons any other way. We could say they're omnipotent and omniscient except when it comes to finding a way for someone to enjoy a movie when there are rowdy people around that doesn't involve a Texas Chainsaw Massacre-like scenario.

You are describing radical Muslims, those who promote your death.

Quote:In other words, they won't be any better people when they're in heaven than they are on earth. Big shock.

You sir have made a very correct statement, those who believe they deserve something without committing to it will never change. That's exactly why they would never ask for forgiveness, they see themselves as self righteous. You are right, no big shock.

(December 3, 2014 at 4:07 pm)Godschild Wrote: It's serious. I can tell the difference and it's small of you to say I can't.

Quote:Well you couldn't tell why it's consistent to think someone bad getting into heaven because they asked God for forgiveness five minutes before they died and someone good not getting into heaven because they asked God for forgiveness five minutes after they died isn't very fair. Can you forgive me for not having a high opinon of your insight?

You have a right to your own opinion.
A ten minutes difference, and the last five do not get another chance, they had all that they needed here, God being omniscient knows this.

It has noting to do with Dahmer, me or you it's about the love of forgiveness God gives to those who want forgiveness from sin against God. The credibility goes to God because He does what He promises no matter how bad a person has been.

Quote:Frankly, who you can point as having been taken in is irrelevant to the truth. The Muslims are outpacing the Christians right now in convincing people of 'the truth' does that make their message truer than yours? Is the truth a convert contest? If it isn't, why bring up your converts? If you don't consider Mormons Christians, note that they're growing faster, too.

There is no contest, it's about love and the one's who want to make it a contest have little understanding. I can agree Satan is grabbing up many through the muslim and mormon religions.

My post drip with venom, you must be blind in more ways than one, I care where you spend eternity and it seems you do not, so how is it that venom can come from someone who cares. I guess that one who hates God and those who love God see caring as venom.

And they're not just taking themselves down, they're dragging down the mainstream Christians because they've given Christians such a bad rap in America that the brand is becoming radioactive.

That's what Christians get when they try and play politics, I believe Christians need to live a Christian life and let politics take care of it's self. I'm not saying Christians shouldn't run for office, they need to bring their faith with them and some do.

It's not my Christianity, but I'm consistent in what I say.

First of all I asked you a question, if you do not want to respond then just say so or ignore the question.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Not unless you want to go and make it all sciency and stuff. Doubt if they even prayed on it first.

Pretty sure the entire basis of Biology rests within the TOE.


Wow.

Evolution fails as a science because it claims that complex things such as the human eye just popped into existence out of nowhere. How can you take that seriously?

Well, it's a good thing I didn't say that. What I said was, [i]if you reject evolution, you may as well disparage all of science, because you'll be denying sciences like chemistry, paleontology, geology, and biology.

Convergent, interlocking evidence from each of those fields demonstrates that evolution is a fact.

People who deny that either are ignorant of the facts, or unwilling to put away their childish superstitions -- or, as in your case, both.

I can use chemistry to make a grape soda, what's that got to do with evolution.

Where do you think the grapes came from?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Grapes obviously came from god. He had the munchies one day and said, "Dude, I want some delicious, bite-sized fruits that can also be fermented into the most wonderful concoction ever...but y'all can't drink it to drunkenness because I say so." C'mon, guys. Get with the program here. That's common knowledge, AMIRITE?
