Thus the unsaved will be cast into the lake of fire to be destroyed, not eternally tormented.So God has failed then? He couldn't, or wouldn't, save everyone or everything from going onto a dead-end road to destruction. The majority of creation had to be destroyed instead of simply redeemed. And worse still, he knows this is a heinous act, he's torn families apart after all, so he conveniently makes those who survive this nightmare forget about it. Is that what you're really professing? I hope not, for your pink soul's sake, because the Invisible Pink Unicorn is wrathful against such un-pink and unkind thoughts and you'll surely be trampled beneath her hooves until you repent of that evil wicked un-pink belief. Blessed Be Her Holy Hooves.

Those who refuse will have eternal death.Wait a nano, you're contradicting yourself Gilligan, then how do all the dead even manage to come back to judgement day to be killed again to begin with? They're already dead and gone.
Gilligan Wrote:What happens between physical death and the final Judgment is open for speculation. Some believe reincarnation occurs until then. According to this, each person will have a life review (not the Last Judgment) after death to determine karma for the next inarnation.Karma? Reincarnation? Gilligan these aren't even Christian beliefs i.e. the resurrection, they're Hindu, Jain, Sikh and Buddhist ideals. As an atheist I have to ask you honestly: What do you believe?
