Encouragement and Advice

[CleanShavenJesus]

1) Do babies and children go to hell?
No because children are not old enough to understand and make their own decisions to be accountable.

Poppycock. All people are born with sin. They must worship Him starting at a very young age.

2) Is the New Testament reliable?
Yes because the Old Testament points directly to Jesus and the New Testament.

The Bible in itself isn't reliable. Biblically speaking, with the assumption that the Old Testament is somehow reliable, then yes, you're correct.

3) If God is Omnipotent and Omnipresent he created hell, so therefore how can hell be separation from God if he is everywhere?
Hell is separation from God as God chooses not to be in hell with others.

How do you know that?

4) Why did God create hell for eternal torment and torture?
God never mentioned hell as eternal torment and torture – Well not really, many people think dying and having nothing when they die is Torture much like the same way being without God will be torture. God does not tell us a lot about hell.

God technically doesn't tell us anything.

5) Jesus took the punishment for all our sins – So based upon that to pay our debt should he not be in hell for eternity considering he died a sinner?
No Jesus did not die a sinner at all Jesus was sinless but took the burden of other peoples sin creating a paradox that he could not stay in hell because he himself was a sinner however he could get there because of the sins.

Allegedly, your honor. Allegedly.

6) As we know the Bible has been edited and re-written many times, do you think God would punish people for not believing when those same people want to believe but cannot because they cannot trust the Bible?
Yes because they should trust the bible irrespective – It’s God’s word and is never wrong.

How do you know that? If it's been edited and re-written so many times, it's obviously lost the original text. How is it still God's word? How do you know it's still valid?

Or better yet, how do you know it was God's word in the first place?

7) Why would God punish us for eternity in hell for a Finite sin?
It’s not that he wants to punish us, It’s because it’s basically the final straw – God did all he could during our earthly lives after which we will be removed from his presence.

Yeah, like that time he murdered every human on Earth with the exception of one.

8) Did God create evil?
No God created rules in which he deemed were against what his will was, People going against Gods will are evil.

Many can argue that God is the evil one because of the actions he committed in the Bible.

10) Why when I started breaking away from God and asked for him to Guide me one last chance did he ignore me?
It’s because for years you have been walking further and further away and you don’t know which way to turn this is of your own making.

I'm sorry I can't give an accurate response to this. I'm laughing too hard for my fingers to keep straight.

11) If an Ancient Tribe has not heard about God where do they go?
They will go to heaven because they have now knowledge.

But they don't believe in your God. Which I guess we'll cover later...

12) So what you’re saying is that Christianity should not be preached as people who are ignorant can go to heaven yet those who hear Gods word and reject it will go to heaven?
Yes this is correct, it is because in their heart and mind and soul they will seek God.

Again, we'll see how hypocritical you are a little later...

13) Would it not have been better not to have been born?
No because God gave us free will we then decided to go against it!

How does this make any sense?

16) Do you believe in the Book of Revelation?
I don’t know.

First good response so far.

17) Do you believe it is in some way scriptural and literal?
I don’t know.

Second good response.

18) If someone decides not to believe in God throughout this life – Although God said he would cast people into the lake of fire for eternity, Do you think at the end he will save everyone?
No because God cannot show his Justice to these people if he saves them anyway?

And now #11 and #12 are irrelevant. Lake of fire? For the poor innocent Buddhists who were living peacefully in the mountains? Harsh.

19) What if people in heaven pray to God to forgive them or to take pity, Surely Jesus said anything they ask for he will give them?
Yes but this does not show Gods love if he allows them forgiveness as he has to be a fair and Just God.

...we're not calling the God of the Bible fair and just, are we?

20) What is heaven like?
We worship and praise God forever!

And you know that how?







Damn, if it were 5 months ago, I'd be responding with paragraphs for each question. I guess I got tired of reading and responding to such similar stuff. I can't imagine how Minimalist feels, after 4 years.
