the bolded is a poor logic and in fact expose the can of worms in hell theory further .

Are you rewarded Eternal Bliss based on Your good works or Its an undeserved kindness from God ? in fact many will say its not by power

therefore: If the righteousness of 70 years is not enough to give you Eternal bliss , on what justification does the sin of 70 years make you deserve An Hellfire ?

AlfaAce:
Good question!

shadeyinka:


Self Righteousness does not amount to anything (for all our righteousness are like filthy rags...). It is the imputed righteousness that counts ( where God makes you perfect because He gave you a new nature and you are forgiven.

Being Born Again (receiving an imputed righteousness) is like being registered in the University of Heaven ( waiting for the time of graduation). It is a gift anyone can recieve if he/she ask.

You will agree with me that only students with matric number have any hope of graduation (even if they are weak students).

However, the most intelligent dudes WILL NOT graduate irrespective of their brilliance if they are not registered. (In other words graduation is not by intelligence, it is by registration).

Even though your stay in an institution is finite ( 4 years for Nigerian universities and about 70 years for living on earth), the award/certificate you recieve or not decieved is for the rest of your existence.

I believe I have answered you, using the familiar to explain the spiritual.

You belive you have answered, but the reality is you only proof further that the righteousness of 70 years is not enough to give a man eternal bliss , Now, if the righteousness of 70 years isn't enough to MERIT eternal bliss , on what justification does the sins of 70 years MERIT an hellfire ?

AlfaAce:
That an all-loving and merciful entity would go on to create a place like hell remains plain absurd,no matter how we try so hard to rationalize it.
Most christians don't go to church because they really love God,it's just because the thought of hell makes them uneasy.
I wouldn't say i'm head over heels in love with God (for now),i just wanna find my place with him cos i don't want to go to hell.
I put it to you that the Fear of hell is a million times greater than the hope of heaven.Most christians don't love God one bit,they've been disappointed by him too much times to count,they're dying in fear.

Okay Folks, This is the my honest truth. Years back, the thought of hellfire, i mean, burning eternally in side fire scared the shiit out of me. I was not scared but very angry that God knew how difficult it is to live in this sin riddled world and maintain a pure holy Christian life fit for His kingdom, why did he create me?

To start with, i didn't ask to be created. I wasn't consulted if i wanted to come here. Why bring me here without my consent and then subject me to the (Pain i was going through at the time. As
I was facing Amputation).

I was going through very tough times. I had prayed all kinds of prayers, it seemed God was either dead or wasn't interested.

I wanted to die. I actually attempted it. Yes, i had sent and bought what i wanted to drink without my folks knowing why i sent for it. But the fear of going to hellfire if i killed myself was gnawing at me. (Dear bone fracture pains is torturous, and i had to endure it for Ten straight years).

That fact angered me even the most. I felt trapped. My life was Miserable,. As far as i was concerned, my life was over even before it began, I wanted out, but could not get out on my terms. I was angry at God.

But one thing was certain, it never occured to me to think of who I was before the accident. Did i do was i was suppose to do as a Christian girl? did i work into satans trap with my own legs? Did i willingly make myself Vulnerable?

Well, a loving father should not hold any of my misdemeanors against me. My Loving heavenly father should ve used another means to correct me, not allow satan hit me down. Did he say he loves me? Where is the Mercy we hear about?
All the questions folks ask here, i asked.


Well. Yahweh had disappointed me so, i needed to find out what others outside of Christianity talked about these things. I went into New Age Religion and started reading and seeking. I became fascinated with the works of Thursday Lopsanrampa. and other works too. I was open to everything.

As Fate could have it, I met a Christian Science Guy who was happy to lead me on, I followed.

If i had met Sarasin then (lol, love you man) i would have followed him and be a very committed follower.
But deep down, i had this hollow, a vacuum inside of me. A yearning that i wanted filled, but i didn't know what it was or how to go about filling it. I kept reading. Anything printed in English i would read, but i couldn't just throw away the christian god.

On the night i was to drink the poison, God came into my room and asked me questions. I could not have asked myself that, and no one was awake, and no one knew what i wanted to do, for i had time everything. I said, before anyone would know what was going on and get me help, i would be dead.


He said, Do you remember the accident Scene? Do you remember how close you were from being over ran by another car? You saw it (And i did). Did you stop the tires from climbing you?

There and then, i found myself in the scene of the accident again, and the scare of that approaching car which was with me for a long time returned. Then he heard Him say, 'I WAS THERE'.

I broke down and started crying that night. I asked for forgiveness and the grace to bear whatever was ahead of me.

The next day i woke feeling like was soaked inside Joy. I told my folks what happened everyone was shocked that i could even think it. For everyone had left their lives, put everything in hold just to be with me. Just imagine how selfish i was.

Now here is the question. Answer it sincerely if you'll be justified.


If you were to die today and God says to you "Why should l let you into my heaven, what reasons will you give Him?".

Bare in mind, it is His heaven.


Even ordinary Nairaland has its rules. To come inhere, you fill a form, give your datas, agree to abide by the rules governing here, without which, you'd be banned. I have been banned countless times.

So, folks don't just stay back and hate God for creating hellfire, tell him why you dont like it.


Ask yourself, Do you qualify to enter God's heaven? How so?
