So babies get to forego the choice do they? We are all innocents born and then at what point do you assert that Adam and Eve's curse kicks in? Imagine how jilted you would feel.. having that Ultimate choice made for you? Finding out that all those who did have that experience got to earn their rewards and places of authority in heaven and you're just sitting in a corner not having witnessed life or gods authority at all, you just woke up one day with the knowledge that you must eternally praise god? Then you find out that god ordered you ripped from your mothers womb just to prevent you from choosing yourself and she's in hell. The one woman who actually died for you is in eternal torment for a finite crime. Seems highly suspect if gods aiming for eternal
peace, for him to allow infinite non choosers.

Very, very well put. Clap

If I may...one consistent theme of the Scriptures is that God can take human evil and turn it into good. For example, Joseph was betrayed by his brothers and sold into slavery. Yet, God took that the evil done to Joseph and he became adviser to the Pharaoh. Angels raise infants and the unborn in Heaven as compensation for the evil done to them on earth. Their state is most blessed. So is it better to have been murdered in the womb? I do not know. But I do know that Paul warns us not to sin just so that Grace can be more abundant. And when we do evil we defy Providence. We cannot know what good God hoped for the child on earth, how he or she could have served for His glory. If we justify to ourselves that abortion is somehow a win/win, then we arrogate unto ourselves the planning that belongs to God.

Yes Godschild, they cannot seem to grasp the concept of people clinging to their sin and thereby preventing themselves from enjoying the blessings of Heaven. For those who still cannot get it, think of the Monkey Trap. It's a box with a hole in the side and an apple inside. The hole is big enough for the monkey to slip in his empty hand. But the hole is too small for him to remove his hand while holding the apple. The trapper comes along and captures the monkey, because the monkey was too greedy to let go of the apple and escape. Hell is a monkey trap, you cannot escape if you are unwilling to let go of your sin.

Swedenborg describes hell in great detail. Since he presents his accounts in 18th century language, I've updated it for modern sensibilities. You can find all the sinful pleasures of earth in hell, just without any of the good that mitigates its filth and hurt on earth.

Hell is filled with beer volcanoes and rave parties where gloutenous slobs and cheap tramps dance naked in a thick stiffling haze of second-hand smoke. Drunkards stumble through the street pissing and vomiting. Your buddies leave you in the street and write insults on your face with permanent marker. Cum-soaked whores fuck till their cunts are nothing but painful raw sores. Sweaty bathhouses are crowded with sodomites. Players gag willing sluts with their cocks and ass-rape them when they pass out. Everyone lies to each other to get what they want. Slick studs make promises to protect you but discard you to rape gangs. Elegant ladies take you home only to rob you while you sleep. The streets are filled with shit, piss, cum, vomit, the maggoty bones of discarded buffalo wings.

So hell is where sinners go because they love nothing more than indulging themselves at the expense of everyone around them. And they cannot stop. They deny that God is good and despise the angles. The trample what is pure and mock what is holy. Why would such people even want to go to heaven?

Right, so Swedeborg made that up, and...Undecided ?
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.

Hell sounds a lot like Studio 54.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Sounds more like Detroit to me.

So, just to be clear here: You have no reply to what I said, take a part of my quote about a woman who died for you and quote it for an unknown reason, then talk about cum-soaked streets and ass rape as something we monkeys can't give up?

Interesting.

ROFLOL
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!

Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.

Dead wrong.  The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.

Quote:Some people deserve hell.

I say again:  No exceptions.  Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it.  As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.

All are created to have a choice, it's God's plan. Those who have their choices ripped from them by people who see no sanctity in human life through abortion are rewarded with eternal life, being a sinless creation they would not want hell. Your line of thinking is warped by the hatred you have for God. Abortion is nothing less than murder, I do not condone murder, so no abortion is not better it's an outrage. You do know people are still going to prison for killing unborn children, right.

Here's how it'll end for you - you'll die, and nothing will happen. MASSIVE shame.

You think that bothers me, yes you do or you would not have mentioned it, it is your right to do so, however it is meaningless to me. It does not matter to me, I did not come here to win popularity nor your approval, so your hate for me is a burden that is all your's. As far as what physical death brings, you're wrong and in the end you will see that there is no end to life.

So truth makes you feel that bad,huh. Let's try some thing here though I'm sure you will find a reason to decline, non believers always do. Go to the scriptures and show me what it was I said in the above that brought you to your judgement of myself. The scriptures are the defining judgement on man, so there's no other place to go.

Yes I know, it is you who have seemed to of forgotten that and that unforgiven sin will place one in hell, do not forget that part either.

What, you believe children have the proper knowledge to make that type of life changing decision?

The age has no set limit, that would be unfair to the children wouldn't you think so? God knows when a child reaches a knowledge of evil, not just right from wrong, but the understanding of doing wrong and the consequences that go with it. The mentally handicapped are for the most part child like all their lives, so I guess it would be better to say it's a mental age not a physical age.

I see no reason why I should be concerned with where I would be for eternity if I had died as a child, heaven is a place of unimaginable joy, peace, love, caring and ect.... you do know that the angels will serve all the saints don't you. To live forever in the presence of God is an unimaginable experience of love, an experience that one day will be reality for me.

You used this phrase, "must eternally praise God," how about this, I will willingly eternally praise God because He is my righteous God that will love me for eternity.

My mom will be in heaven and I will spend eternity with her, just want you to get that straight. God does not order any baby aborted, that's a choice the mother who has no respect for life makes and yes that mother will be in hell for such an atrocity if she does not seek and ask for forgiveness through Christ. As far as what God's plans are who are you to judge the judge of all. So as far as I see things from you, you have no idea what God wants from man whom He created, actually I do not know why you try to argue spiritual matters about God, it seems you're clueless. By the way what you exclaim as haughty pride could just be truth that you find revolting, which is your own problem and has nothing to do with me.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

As if I didn't have enough reason to be an atheist already! You had me sold on beer volcanoes. Lose the creepy rape stuff though.

Look, if this version of hell is only lacking the presence of the "holiness" of the god of the Bible, you can count me all in. The monster Yahweh has committed atrocities in that book that dictators only dream of, so why should I tolerate him being in my presence? I'll take my beers and raves, thank you.
