(May 22, 2012 at 11:16 pm)Drich Wrote: The Jews Believe Hell or Sheol to be death/the Grave. They do not believe in a place of eternal torment. So all of you OT quotes would logically point to hell being the grave or pit.
Some do not believe in the resurection either. you get this life and that is it.
that said Christ had another take on Hell not consistent with traditional Jewish beliefs. (Matthew 25:41), “unquenchable fire” (Matthew 3:12), “shame and everlasting contempt” (Daniel 12:2), a place where “the fire is not quenched” (Mark 9:44-49), a place of “torment” and “fire” (Luke 16:23-24), “everlasting destruction” (2 Thessalonians 1:9), a place where “the smoke of torment rises forever and ever” (Revelation 14:10-11), and a “lake of burning sulfur” where the wicked are “tormented day and night forever and ever” (Revelation 20:10).
Yikes, what a sweetheart the son of god turned out to be. "Thanx Jesus! You really know how to show us the love! Good thing we have you as such a good role model to follow. It's simple really, I just do like you do Jesus ... when people don't like me or the things I believe - I just kill 'em. Thanx again jesus!!!"
Quote:I used to be a burn in hell forever type of person but now i am not so sure, even so I know Hell is real and whatever the actual make up of it, it will not be a pleasent place, no matter how long you spend there.
Do you know hell is real because god says so?
Do you know your god is real because the bible says so?
Do you know your bible is true because .... ???
Yeah yeah ... you KNOW hell is real ...... and everybody flies around in golden ice cream trucks in heaven too.
I wonder how many muslims KNOW that Allah is the one true god.
Arrogant Christian, please accept my gift, as it is a true expression of how I feel:
