frosbel: ^^ Explains why God's chosen people don't believe in hellfire. I'm referring to the Jews. They have no record of any prophecy related to Jesus either. Don't know why Christians quote Isaiah at all. http://outreachjudaism.org/dual-prophecy-virgin-birth/ 2 Likes |

frosbel: Let's use our brains for a small moment, shall we ? I already see my ans hear. It's so clear that you follow another Jesus and you don't know YHWH, the God of the Bible. If you do, you will know that he is a Holy, righteous and Just God. And in His justice, we see His mercy (through the grace we receive in Christ Jesus) as no sinner will go unpunished. He is a loving father, yet, he is a consuming fire. 1 Like |

^^ As expected, judgementalism is another trait of the religious be it Islam or 'Christianity', once you challenge their belief system they sentence you to Hell even before God speaks. Sis, don't worry about me , concentrate on trying to avoid the lake of fire 24/7 1 Like |

frosbel: I already got my response from another post of yours. Even with this response, it's clear you are dilly dallying. I asked a straight forward question and you are preaching "faith without works is dead". How do you receive the faith in the first place? Can an unbeliever do works that can please God? Good works are nothing but good works. They can save no one. A believer does not do good works to get saved. Rather, he does good works cos he is saved. That is what James is talking about. They are fruits of righteousness (which can only be gotten by faith in the finished work of Christ) and not "fruits" for righteousness. I hope you still accept the Holy Bible as the ONLY divine and inspired word of God. 2 Likes |

frosbel: And you are also a man like those people you are condemning. Which means that if you think they made mistakes then you too can also have places where they are seeing errors in your independent whatever. Already your independent search is contradicting the scripture. frosbel: ^^ Obviously thats where your problem lies. The atheists read the bible only with their brains thats why they cannot comprehend the mysteries therein just like you cant comprehend some of the mysteries in the scripture. The scripture is not a "book of logic" so you dont use only your brain to read it. The Holy Spirit always have a place in our study and in most cases the mysteries of God's word runs contrary to human logic, it sometimes appear foolish in man's eyes thats why you are now seeing those mysteries and hard truth as foolishness. I tell you God is not proud of you. May God help you. I am not also saying you should be doing follow follow. However, not doing follow follow does not mean that your so called independent search will produce the right result. frosbel: I had earlier posted a detailed response to this but let me still repeat my little advice. You are simply interpreting the scriptures with sentiments(especially in this area of God's judgment/wrath) and this is wrong. Even if you preach this from now till another century, it wouldnt change the fact that sinners will suffer eternal damnation if they dont repent. There are certain things that argument cannot change and this issue is one of them. Watch it bro, I see satan deceiving you in this issue but God will deliver you. Amen. |

^^ My Bible is my close companion. But can I ask you a question and please forgive me for this slight derailment. What happened to the millions of Africans who never heard about Jesus, are they going to be condemned for not hearing the good news through no fault of theirs ? I mean how can they be saved without Jesus ? If we follow your logic they are all damned, right ? 2 Likes |

Some of us warned about his drift but from what i can see today, he has drifted far more than what we saw in those days. Lets just be praying God to help him out because i dont see him following Christ anymore. I hope he doesnt land in atheism as some of the unbelievers here are already saying. it could be that they too passed through a similar process before landing into atheism hence their comments.

Of cos if you don't fear it,you can't live right.....and if you don't belive hell exist,you can kill your neighbour,father,mother,siblings,friends and nothing touches your concience, you can dupe people and still feel good about your actions.... If you claim to fear the creator of heaven and earth,you will likewise fear his word!if you don't have respect for his word,it means you don't fear him jooooooor.

Re: The Population Of Hell by Obalende: 2:16am On Jul 17, 2014 |
frosbel you are dealing with fanatics, fully brainwashed... I have passed thru the same process as you and I believe there is a God, that Jesus has power and has Godly powers, but I do not believe in heaven, hell etc. Personal morality, praying to God should be enough. I have ridden myself of the tyranny of absolute radical and wicked versions of Christianity. Africans are fools... always carrying religion for head; perhaps its because they have nothing else going for them... BTW hell is no big deal, I don't believe in it. What kind of God will make a torture chamber? You are suggesting God inspired hitler, the very thought of which is blasphemy. 2 Likes |
Re: The Population Of Hell by Nobody: 3:41am On Jul 17, 2014 |
Hell is an amorphous place used to scare the faint of heart into shape. Think about it, Yahweh in the Old Testament killed as if killing was going out of style but he leaves you alone once he saw you in your grave. "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Rom 6:23. This was re-echoed by the late great Bob Marley in his melancholic and iconic song "Johnny was." On this song, Johnny's mother wondered why Johnny was gunned down by a stray bullet in the street and died even though he was a good man. One of life's contradictions I'd say! Johnny's mom was dumbfounded however "For she knows that the wages of sin is death, gift of Jah is life," Marley wailed. Johnny's mom obviously a woman of faith who did not understand how Johnny could die after he tried to to avoid "sin." To worsen her conundrum, Johnny was not even the target of the gun. She might have even wondered why God would let the righteous suffer. The following buttresses by point: “ Surely the fate of human beings is like that of the animals; the same fate awaits them both: As one dies, so dies the other. All have the same breath; humans have no advantage over animals. Everything is meaningless. All go to the same place; all come from dust, and to dust all return." (Ecc. 3:19-20). Now let us consider Psalm 115:17: “The dead praise not the Lord, neither any that go down into silence.” Death involves “silence.” This certainly does not square with any of the popular concepts of millions of the dead wailing and screaming in agony. Such a scene could never be described as "silence!" And, if many of the dead go to heaven, why are they not praising God? Psalm 6:5 further explains that the dead do not experience conscious memory: “For in death there is no remembrance of You: in the grave who shall give You thanks?” Could anyone seriously suggest that the dead, suffering in hell, could experience the normal range of human memories but not be cognizant of God—not remember Him? It just does not make sense. For me there is no hell! But even if there is, it does not make sense that there would be infinite punishment for finite offense. The op raised a valid point. A God that would send 90% of his creation to "hell" is not fit to be worshiped. That most of his creations turned out to be defective is an indictment on God and not on humans. A teacher that has a failure rate of 90 percent would be fired without qualms. Even he would admit that he has failed in his teaching assignment. 4 Likes |
Re: The Population Of Hell by Nobody: 4:41am On Jul 17, 2014 |
In 1999, Pope John Paul II said this about the nature of hell: “Rather than a physical place, hell is the state of those who freely and definitively separate themselves from God, the source of all life and joy.” A few years earlier, popular televangelist Billy Graham told Time magazine, “The only thing I could say for sure is that hell means separation from God…When it comes to a literal fire, I don’t preach it because I’m not sure about it.” John 3:16 states, “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” Millions routinely quote this verse, while ignoring an essential phrase within it. Read it again folks! Those who receive salvation are promised that they “should not perish” but “have eternal life!” If hell is a place of eternal torture, then the people suffering this torment must also have eternal life. But the verse says, “should not perish.” It does not say, “Should not suffer eternal life in torment.” How does the word perish relate to the popular teaching about hell and hell fire? Why did God inspire John to use the word perish if this is not what He meant? 3 Likes |

He replied, "Do you have any doubt in seeing the full moon on a clear (not cloudy) night?" They replied, "No, O Allah's Apostle!" He said, "Do you have any doubt in seeing the sun when there are no clouds?" They replied in the negative. He said, "You will see Allah (your Lord) in the same way. On the Day of Resurrection, people will be gathered and He will order the people to follow what they used to worship. So some of them will follow the sun, some will follow the moon, and some will follow other deities; and only this nation (Muslims) will be left with its hypocrites. Allah will come to them and say, 'I am Your Lord.' They will say, 'We shall stay in this place till our Lord comes to us and when our Lord will come, we will recognize Him. Then Allah will come to them again and say, 'I am your Lord.' They will say, 'You are our Lord.' Allah will call them, and As-Sirat (a bridge) will be laid across Hell and I (Muhammad) shall be the first amongst the Apostles to cross it with my followers. Nobody except the Apostles will then be able to speak and they will be saying then, 'O Allah! Save us. O Allah Save us.' There will be hooks like the thorns of Sa'dan in Hell. Have you seen the thorns of Sa'dan?" The people said, "Yes." He said, "These hooks will be like the thorns of Sa'dan but nobody except Allah knows their greatness in size and these will entangle the people according to their deeds; some of them will fall and stay in Hell forever; others will receive punishment (torn into small pieces) and will get out of Hell, till when Allah intends mercy on whomever He likes amongst the people of Hell, He will order the angels to take out of Hell those who worshipped none but Him alone. The angels will take them out by recognizing them from the traces of prostrations, for Allah has forbidden the (Hell) fire to eat away those traces. So they will come out of the Fire, it will eat away from the whole of the human body except the marks of the prostrations. At that time they will come out of the Fire as mere skeletons. The Water of Life will be poured on them and as a result they will grow like the seeds growing on the bank of flowing water..." Muslims may find the above narration incredible. Again, this shows the ignorance of Muslims regarding their religion. There is no ambiguity in this Hadith. It clearly states that Muhammad and his followers are in "Hell." According to this Hadith, Muhammad is not in heaven but in "Hell," awaiting for the arrival of the "Day of Judgment" to get into heaven. And he will be the first to cross the bridge with his followers to go to heaven. Please note, this bridge ( As-Sirat ) is "laid across Hell" and serves as an exit to heaven. Since the bridge is "laid across Hell," Muhammad has to be in "Hell" for the Hadith to speak of him as being among the first to use it to come out from theere |
