What the bible says Hell is like
RE: What the bible says Hell is like
Eternity in a sauna or surrounded on a windy cloud, surrounded by winged budgie wannabes, playing harps?

Hmmmm....

God commendth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

The kind of plan that only a narcissist would think up. "You are all sinners, but I'll save you by sacrificing myself for you (even though it doesn't end up being a sacrifice), so I deserve to be loved and adored. Hating me is unreasonable."

And you have also made an idol of that Bible, by placing it at a level that cannot be truly questioned or challenged, considering it inerrant (above the errors of human hands/brains, and thus supernatural/godlike), and of itself a Holy thing. It is a physical object to which you give absolute reverence.

If that is not an idol, I'm curious to know what would qualify?



Yeah, so not the point. You consider it to be inerrant, unquetionably followed, and a holy physical object. You think that its words contain the essence and definition of your God(s). You worship according to its dictates, and you dare not question whether or not doing so makes you a cult member, or you will be "cursed".

Hmmm. Yeah, Bible Idolator.

I believe that my math textbook is true. does it mean that i worship that also?

No, because you only tentatively accept the math book as true so far as it can be demonstrated, and if I pointed out an error in it to you, you wouldn't ignore what I pointed out, you'd check for yourself and go, "Oh, wow, they did screw up! Neat-o."

Why do you do this? Because you know it's a book made by men, and is subject to human fallibility and error. You might even find a new mathematical proof that demonstrates that book is flat-out wrong, in places. And huzzah if you do!

That's what makes one book an idol to you, and not another.

I adore Charles Darwin's genius 1859 work On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, but it's not an idol to me because I am 100% honest about the things he got wrong, such as not knowing about the discovery by Gregor Mendel of genes and genetic inheritance patterns. I don't sit and try to make excuses for the errors, or pretend they're not there, or claim that the book must be inerrant or the whole idea must be thrown out. 

You, with your Bible, do all of those things to defend your book, which you cannot admit is even potentially error-filled, like every other book that has ever been crafted by the hand of man.

You. Are. A. Bible. Idolator.
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost

I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.

What? Christ is dead? I didn't even know he was ill...

"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

many of them are mistaken. I believe God preserved His word in the King James Version (KJV) bible, which is the direct English translation from the original Hebrew and greek. and the doctrine of hell is very clear in that bible. You don't have to believe me you can take what i'm saying and spit it back in my face you want idc dude. I will lose zero sleep over your beliefs.

Um actually as translations go, the king james bible is one the least literal translations and has the most translation errors. This is because the quality of the scholars available to Kings James and the material at hand. He had less access to good scholars and far less access to good manuscripts then the NIV project had and when he was having the translation he took 6 men locked them in a room and rewrote whole passages till they sounded poetic. If your gonna study a bible use the NIV or NAS translation. They are easier for modern readers to understand and have less errors.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Give it up, LV. I already gave him the full history of the KJV and he ignored it. Undecided

Daniel, if you have an issue with another member who you think has broken the Rules, report them and let the Staff judge. Do not complain about them in open threads.
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.'
