Biblical Inerrancy - mandatory to be Christian?
RE: Biblical Inerrancy - mandatory to be Christian?
Quote:The people in hell aren't being tortured by God, they're torturing themselves and refuse to stop.
Actually, this idea is less absurd than you believe. The people who deny God and love only the things of this world close themselves off to spiritual light. While on earth, we still have the ability to choose between good and evil because our existence is between these two. Following death, our choices have been confirmed. We continue in the direction we have chosen. Because they refuse to see spiritual light, the wicked live in darkness. Since they reject the warmth of God's love, they 'burn' in their own selfish desires. Even still all spirits in the afterlife retain free-will, the difference is that the wicked chose between varieties of evil that follow from the lies they tell themselves. Meanwhile, the righteous allow themselves to be guided by God's love and truth in their pursuit of useful activities of mutual love in heaven.

Almost as crazy as my property dualism.
