A small thanks to the resident Theists..

*raises hand in slight objection*
The Old Testament was referring to Bronze Age Hebrews who went of to worship Baal so it wouldn't apply to Christians or modern Jews. It does sort of still apply to Muslims, at least in the Islamic countries. 
Whether they worshiped Baal or Bobo the clown is not the point.

Indeed. She doesn't talk much about the ex, but from what I know he flushed all his potential down the drain with his second rate rock band.
Aractus,
Yeah yeah I get it don't wear your name out okay okay. What part of my last post did you not understand? I'm... trying... really... hard... not to chew you the out right now. PS. Catholics are wrong. So, so, sooooooooooooo very wrong. And so are people who tend to believe shit others assert with no other evidence but their testimony. Now you go fall over. Matthew 25:46 NIV "Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life." Revelations 21 8 But for the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” Revelations 14 (NEW TESTAMENT) 9 A third angel followed them and said in a loud voice: “If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives its mark on their forehead or on their hand, 10 they, too, will drink the wine of God’s fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. They will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb. 11 And the smoke of their torment will rise for ever and ever. There will be no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and its image, or for anyone who receives the mark of its name.” John 3:36 Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on him. [b]Acts 4:12 12 "And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved." 1 John 5:10-12 The one who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself; the one who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given concerning His Son. And the testimony is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life. Matthew 10:33 33 "But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father who is in heaven. John 3:14-17 17 "For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.
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. ![[Image: tumblr_n1j4lmACk61qchtw3o1_500.gif]](https://66.media.tumblr.com/5fb74c6d16622fb3dbb358509c9aec03/tumblr_n1j4lmACk61qchtw3o1_500.gif)

The WIN/Gallup End of Year Survey 2013 found the US was perceived to be the greatest threat to world peace by a huge margin, with 24% of respondents fearful of the US followed by: 8% for Pakistan, and 6% for China. This was followed by 5% each for: Afghanistan, Iran, Israel, North Korea. -LINK "That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances.

Aractus, If you mean proving that the bible says one thing and you say another: you're welcome.
Catfish, I'd appreciate your sources for your assertions about Aeonian. I can't find an original copy of the bible. Also, why do you consider it fair that the book says one thing and means another but god still holds people accountable for an incorrect translation of his word?
