golddeejay: your response is impure human sentiments. While, hell may seem to harsh, full appreciation of sin and it's consequences wouldnt b possible to us. So how do we judge fairly? We can't. |

“Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.”--- |

asalimpo:thank you for admitting hell is too harsh for a punishment...the promise of paradise filled wit gold n other gud tinz would have worked and would have been enough to judge n reward the obedients but the threat of hell is clearly not havin the right effect as u can see with this thread. Even the promises of virgins can make some people kill themselves. Human tends to rebel when threatened. Try threatning a little child everytime n see how 'hardcore' he will become but try promising him gud things n see how obedient he will become. Thats human nature...i think the creator should understand his creation |

Ymodulus: Ymodulus, we as a people, will fight tooth and nail against all you've so beautifully laid out above. Because your statements are dignified and humane, because they are about love for one another and human potential the overwhelming majority of Africans will work tirelessly to deny and destroy all these sentiments and realities and seek instead the embrace of phantoms, evil spirits, gods, miracles, witches, prophets and every kind of materialistic, idolatrous, superstitious self-anointing spookism. We traditionally incline more towards authority than towards our fellow human beings. Our uncritical worship of power is killing us. In the age of Ebola we need more than blessings in Chizossnemm. We need all the qualities you've laid out above. And more. Otherwise we condemn our children and grandchildren to be forever nonpersons on this Earth. None but ourselves can free our minds. We are our own Saviours. And Destroyers. And if you really believe in Hell, you're already in it! 2 Likes 1 Share |

Oduduwaboy: why didn't you investigate properly and find out if that's what the Bible really says God is going to do before you left Christianity? There are Christians who do not believe God will torment people in hell you know? |
Re: I Chose Hell Fire by TrajansKong: 7:56am On Oct 16, 2014 |
Ymodulus: I meant that metaphorically. If you actually believe in the bloodthirsty, vengeful, racist fiend described in the Bible then fear of deviating from slavish obedience must govern your every word, thought, step and deed. Fucking Hell, indeed. |

Re: I Chose Hell Fire by torchwave: 9:55am On Oct 16, 2014 |
Chai, na wa for humans. Clearly, the doctrine of hell is a bitter pill to swallow. Some say it's only a monster Creator will imagine and create a place such as hell, others say God is too loving to create such a dreadful place of eternal suffering, some believe there's no such thing as hell, a large group think the punishment of eternal suffering in hell is highly unfair while many have already chosen hell to be their eternal habitation. Everybody is entitled to his opinion. However, these people's limited minds keep them from understanding the nature of God and the creation of hell. God did not create hell for man. He created it for Lucifer and his demons (former angels). That is why Satan's suffering will be eternal when he is finally judged. That is not the only reason He created hell. There are two sides to the nature of God that makes Him just. He is a loving God but He is also a God of wrath. As a loving God, He created Heaven for His creation who choose to obey Him. As a God of wrath, He created hell for those who choose to disobey Him. He created good and evil, light and darkness, day and night, holy angels and fallen angels, believers and unbelievers, hell-bound and heaven-bound...shows that if He created one HE MUST CREATE the other if He is to live up to His just nature. If He created light, He MUST create darkness to be fair. If He listens to the requests and petitions of His children, He MUST also listen to the requests and petitions of the devil and grant them if they are legal as a just God. Now I might seem to contradict myself when I say God did not originally create hell for man but in another breath say He created the hell-bound and heaven-bound. Remember, the just nature of God requires that He is no respecter of persons. All sins are equal in weight before Him. If He punished the devil for rebelling against Him with eternal suffering, He is BOUND to mete out the same punishment to people who sin against Him because a just God will give the same punishment for the same or similar wrongs. There are many things to say but I shall stop here. I'm already guilty of a very lengthy sermon. All I'm saying is this, if you choose hell, fine. God will grant you your wish since He already created you. He already knew where you will spend the rest of eternity as a result of the exercise of your will which is independent or devoid of God's influence on you and in His fairness He created you so that you'll choose in reality where you'll go but hey God already knows those who're His. If you think God's creating hell is unfair, read the post once again. I am really sad (everyday) that there are people there and I don't want my enemy to even go there but even sadder than I am is God Himself because He loves us so very much and does not wish the wickedest man on earth to end up in hell that He did not even spare His only Son, Jesus Christ, whom He sent to take the form of man, suffer like a criminal and die a shameful death on the cross in order to secure our salvation from hell. Only a just God will not hoard or keep mankind's only hope of salvation to Himself. He took steps to save man even if it was at a very great personal cost to Him. That is how much He loves us. However, God is always bound to act in accordance with His nature which is Fairness and that fairness binds His Love and Wrath in perfect harmony. If Osama Bin Laden, Emperor Nero, or Adolf Hitler, as notoriously evil as they were, gave their lives to Christ in the last minute of their lives, they'd be in heaven now despite the thousands and millions they've sent to hell because God would forgive them as a just God of love. If, however, they did not, He will punish them with eternal fire as a just God of wrath. Heaven or Hell....it's your choice. |

Re: I Chose Hell Fire by Femmymata2(m): 6:52pm On Oct 16, 2014 |
@torchwave, if there is a just God who by his nature to do not have a choice than to send people who disobey him to enternal torture, We despise it. Because some of us by nature believe that no human should be subjected to horrible torture in fire forever as punishment for something done in a space of years. 120yrs sin - tortured forever, imagine one of your loved ones finds his/herself there burning in fire for enternity. We advice that God to change that monster nature and seek serious counselling. |
Re: I Chose Hell Fire by GooseBaba: 8:29pm On Oct 16, 2014 |
torchwave... I see say your head dey torch.... Kindly go back and read that nonsense you wrote.. "contradictions galore"....you and that your god need proper medication.. |
Re: I Chose Hell Fire by Macelliot(m): 3:51am On Oct 17, 2014 |
Femmymata2:That untrue! God Almighty does not torture human nor sends them to eternal destruction. Satan was judged and casted out of heaven. (There is Court in Heaven.)(book of revelation explained that)( God Almighty sits on HIS magnificient throne, The Lamb{Jesus}, with 4 huge living creatures, 24 Elders, The 4 Arc-angels, and uncountables Angels of God.) So satan wants to destroy God's Creation, by doing that, he tries to drag humanity as many as he can into Hell not knowing that he has failed. God Almighty loves his creature that he sent many messengers, prophets and even His Son(Jesus, The Conquerer) to remind us about satans tricks. God Almighty Love will be Shown to Us till the End of this world whether good or bad alike. The mysteries hidden under the sun will be revealed on the day of judgement Take a read at this article. Don't mind because u saw the website as Islamreligion. http://www.islamreligion.com/articles/5160/viewall/ |
Re: I Chose Hell Fire by torchwave: 2:11pm On Oct 17, 2014 |
Femmymata2:In essence, you're in rebellion against God since you cannot accept His nature of severity. One more thing, my advice to you is to change your ways because God has always been, is, and will forever be changelessly unchangeable. That, especially, is why He is God. The sooner you get that the better for you all. You all might say whatever you wish against God in your lifetime, but nothing will stop you from meeting Him personally. Gosh...I hope, for your sake, you're prepared for that inevitable face-to-face encounter widely known as JUDGMENT DAY. |
