Words versus Deeds
#8
RE: Words versus Deeds
Rosie - i think the main problem with Christianity as you are discussing it is that Jesus will forgive believers as long as they accept him. Look at people on death row becoming born again Christians. If they were not facing death I wonder how many of them would convert? They are making Pascal's wager and i'm sure many of them are even sincere in their beliefs. Frankly speaking I find this amazingly wrong.

@Godschild

Hell is a tricky concept. Especially as the original meaning of the word meant to be buried (Sheol - IIRC). Hell has also been described as separation from God (cool... wouldn't want to be around that tyrannical megalomaniac dictator), a firey pit, a frozen wasteland...

Its been presented in so many ways that even the Devils probably don't know what they should be doing and who to and what for! Big Grin
