Is Hellfire A Bible Teaching?

[Alter2Ego]

I wont put anyone on ignore, never liked that concept myself, just my personal taste. If I don't like your posts I simply skip over them.

To give you an example, on another website, a fundie named Jean, tried to threaten me with his god claim by claiming god unleashed the Tsunami in Japan to serve, not as a warning to Japan, but to America to suck up to his god. What that prick didn't know is that my x-wife was Japanese. That was as close to calling for a ban I had ever came, and if there had been an ignore option, I might have used it. But someone pulled me aside and said "Let him hang himself with his own words". So now, I either skip over his posts or throw his bigoted childish threat back in his face.

ALTER2EGO -to- BRIAN37:
Earthquakes and tsunami's are natural occurrences due to the shifting of the earth's plates and have nothing to do with God. You should have asked Jean who his god is. Maybe Jean doesn't know that the Judeo-Christian Bible refers to Satan the Devil as a god at 2 Corinthians 4:4.

Ten to one Jean believes in the Trinity, since its the standard doctrine of Christendom. There are very few Christian groups in existence that don't believe in a 3-prong god. For the vast majority of the 33,000 Christian denominations, the Trinity is a staple (along with the hellfire doctrine). The sad part is that this man-made tradition is nowhere to be found in the Bible. Regarding the putting of traditions of men ahead of what's in the scriptures, the Bible says the following.

"{6} he must not honor his father at all. And so you have made the word of god invalid because of your tradition. {7} You hypocrites, Isaiah aptly prophesied about you, when he said, {8} ‘This people honor me with their lips, yet their heart is far removed from me. {9} It is IN VAIN that they keep worshipping me, because they teach COMMANDS OF MEN as doctrines.’" (Matthew 15:6-9)


In other words, Jean might very well be serving a Trinity god rather than the true God, Jehovah. If that's the case, his worship is in vain. You might want to raise that issue with him the next time you go to that other website. It will give him something to think about and he won't be quite so smug and self-righteous.
