Both. I find it hard to believe how much you are determined to dance around this.

You're clearly making this up as you go along, which I'm sure is perfectly fine with your version of God. What scripture supports that the dead are so certain they won't be forgiven that they won't even bother to try to ask/beg for it?
(December 9, 2014 at 1:43 am)Godschild Wrote: God can't do anything about it, if He were to forgive them it would make Him a liar. He said no forgiveness after the death of the body,
Now we're getting somewhere. In what scripture does he say that? I know Hebrews 9:27 says the judgment will be after death, but it doesn't state that then it will be too late for forgiveness.

Prove he said it in the first place. And you embrace Dahmer getting to eat his victims and get heaven to boot, but you have trouble with ordinary folk catching a break? That's rich.

It's called an analogy.

So far you haven't given a reason for that belief more substantial than that's the way you want it to be. You're way out on a limb beyond what the Bible says. And who determined what would and wouldn't be a sin? Who made people to desire things of which he doesn't approve? There are animals that mate for life, we didn't have to be designed to want to chase after strange flesh. It doesn't make sense to say we need the temptations for free will when it's hard-wired into most humans to find it tempting.

How clear it is doesn't matter, only how well supported it is. If I present the case for a literal Santa Claus really clearly, I still should not expect to get much traction.

Fair enough.
(December 9, 2014 at 1:43 am)Godschild Wrote: Those things will come from the heart because of the understanding of what it means to live a life against God. The separation from God will bring more pain that fire, there will be a understanding of what was actually given up.
Because God likes to rub salt in our wounds? Because what's the point of giving us that understanding when it's too late rather than when it would have done us some good? How does free will require us to be unaware of the true consequences of our choices? More the opposite, I'd think. It's rigging the game to leave the consequences of losing in doubt. Is this because of one of those bets he makes with the devil sometimes?

It's not God not going against justice to which objecting. It's your claims that YOU know what God's take on justice is. And critiquing claims is how I relax, but thanks for trying to deflect the discussion to my emotional state. It's a common dishonest debating tactic to insinuate that your interlocuter's emotional state is affecting their statements. Is there any cheap tactic from the dark arts of rhetoric that you're above using?
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
