"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."

How it it possible to lose salvation, To no longer believe? Hell/ death/ separation from God/ punishment are an immediate result of sin. Life/ salvation/ forgiveness of sin are likewise immediate.
The bible is inspired by God. It isn't written by God. It's Gods word. It is potentially errant, bit this far not proven to be errant. No one on this forum or anywhere else has ever successfully challenged it. It would be a lie to say they had.
"Eternal" it's an inaccurate translation of the source. It is more accurately translated as "a very long time". "God will bring all things to himself". Death cannot defeat God.
So that's why the priests feel free to do whatever they want to little boys. They were saved. Immediately. Anything they do from then on, is just .... covered in Christs' blood.
Is that what you're saying Fr0d0? That any sins anyone makes after accepting Jesus as the son of god as a sacrifice for sins, are non-sins? Don't matter? They'll still get to go to heaven?

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.

Indeed, that's how it works - in much the same way that your being infested by microscopic space pixies does. And it just so happens I can sell you the cure.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Another one of Fr0d0's ridiculous beliefs is that simply asserting that he has won a debate enough times will actually win him the debate.

I'm so sorry Missy I did miss that! Here I was waiting patiently for it!
It is absolutely not the case that a psychopath could claim forgiveness and then do anything bad and be forgiven. I think that must be in frost gods realm. As soon as you do bad you separate yourself from God. Hell is yours, until you can reconcile yourself again.
Unlike in this world, ultimate justice cannot be fooled.

That's funny as we're talking about actual ailnesses. Maybe you've lost the ability to tell the difference.

... Ailments. 
More importantly, are we talking about actual ailments, or ones from the bizarre fantasy world that you're drawing your god from?

Autocorrect doesn't correct to fake words...unless what you're doing is bemoaning autocorrect for not fixing your mistake.

I have yet to see clear Biblical evidence for your version of hell, fr0d0. I've presented my case for the fiery eternal hell.
Have you gone to each of the verses I quoted and made sure they said aeonian? Secondly, does it even matter if its finite or infinite brimstone? I don't think so.
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!
