OH SHIT SHOTS FIRED!!!
Where have you been? I made the transition from "Pinky" to Stinky like 4 or 5 posts ago.

Quote:Everyone dies, sure, but there's zero evidence for your assertion that it's because we're being "called home" by a supernatural being, which is what makes your views on this so fucked up. It's like trying to comfort a child by telling it that the dog that was put down today is now in a magical land of sunshine and ice cream that dogs can eat without getting sick. Sure, it might make the kid feel better, but it's a fucking lie, and if your kid takes that assumption into adulthood then congratulations on creating a fucking moron.
That's the thing.. Their is evidence. evidence in the testimonies of the people who went home and came back. I can tell you for them/us nothing more ever need be provided. Not only that God has not top shelved this evidence, He offers it to anyone who will simply humble themselves and A/S/K for it.

If you do not have it it is because you have not A/S/K God for it.

Quote:Just when I thought you couldn't get any dumber.


You Christians really love your fallacious analogies, don't you? The difference there is that people actually see butterflies. There is evidence to establish what happens with butterflies. Conversely, there is no evidence that souls exist nor that they rise to heaven. What you're describing is more like seeing a caterpillar get squished under a boot and then saying to yourself "Oh, it's ok, he's a butterfly now...trust me."
And again, you too could also see this transformation. God has not reserved what he has given me to a few, but to everyone who approaches him on His terms.

Quote:This life is about choice, whether to be with God or spend eternity away from Him.
Indeed. It is found in the testimonies of those who gone and come back and we have confirmation in Scripture.

Quote: That boy wasn't old enough to make that decision.


Based on which Bible verse?
The bible does not directly speak of this specific boy.

However In Hebrews 4:12 We are told that Christ Himself (The Word of God/A name given to Christ in John 1:1)
12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13 And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.

In the end Christ will determine what this boy did and did not know and what he is responsible for.


Quote: So I believe that soul was re-routed to another host.


You beli...  Facepalm


Clap Wow, Drich. Just wow.


"Rerouted to another host"? Sooo...you believe in reincarnation now? There's heaven and hell, and then there's reincarnation for a few random people? Did you hear or read this somewhere or are you just making it up because it sounds fluffy to you? You know some religions have purgatory, right? You could always jump on one of those bandwagons instead of pulling things out of your ass. At least then you could appeal to popularity to support your nonsense.

There are several examples in scripture of reincarnation.
I mentioned them in the above post.
