A god who creates hell for the torture of his creatures for all eternity is not worthy of WORSHIP. Thankfully this god does not exist except in the minds of brainwashed religious folk. 2 Likes |

And people go there and return after or before torment? Would it not be unjust to torment someone and send him back to life? Who judged and sentenced that person to hell(fiery torment which I do not believe in) in the first place? Does that one judge right at all? Can you define 'death'? Ken4Christ: |

removetheturban: lol i did archaeology before dumping it and for medicine; It covers history, origins, myths. So we get to know stuffs. When witchcraft and sorcery was wildly practiced in the earlier times many claimed to have had a glimpse of what lies beyond the other side since they could conjure up spirit of dead loved ones (the mediums) so there must be a place where the souls are right?. And that line you highlighted, i don't get what you pointing out, like i said he is from my place and the story was made clear. I was a young boy then but wise enough to understand a story. I even met him in 2008 PS. I am a christian! 1 Like |

Haha I seem to be confused here, what branch of medicine is your specialty? How come you sound more like someone specialized in telepathy or Thanatology? Are you a Christian who believes in the Bible or scientific theories only? kachi19: |

removetheturban: Lol i am an Anaesthetist: The surgeons might be the brains but we are the blood. We access patients, prep them before surgery if fit or not we are obliged to predict complications before it happens and ehm if there's an emergency in the operation room we are the only hope and if we panic well scream in prayers Cos as i have explained i have encountered many near death and actual death live scenes and the concept of death always get me on cloud9. it seem to be much more complex than anything even the human mind cos you wonder, "why do we even die" ?!? what's The essence of being on top of the food chain and be much more mortal than being below. you hear them breathe back to life and you ponder on so many stuffs and forge a good reasoning. And also i tend to debunk reasoning like we were born into this world just to die off to eternal suffering like did we even ask to be here lol but i just wonder what about people like Hitler and Ghengis khan and Stalin and Nero and other evil people who did despicable things and died without paying for their sins or repenting. What's left to them? I took my time as an archaeological student to get my hands on old knowledge like Apocryphal books of the bible. Find so many missing puzzles to what was left out of our current bible after being edited by our beloved Romans in such i try to blend my christian knowledge with science and psychology and trust me it makes so much sense. Most African christians are just pure daft cos what they tend to study is limited |
Re: For Those Who Think Hell Is An Empty Threat From The Bible! by Nobody: 6:06pm On Jan 29, 2018 |
I get that. Firstly, to answer your question about Hitler and Stalin etc, the Bible says that the wicked will be done away with. That is a just punishment as long as the righteous are given their entitlements. God said that the evil ones will be destroyed but man opts for harsher punishment for the evil. Doesn't that make man eviler than we thought? *Feeling that God's judgment is unjust *Feeling that we are in a place to judge and decide what is the right punishment for our fellow earthlings. That is an insult to God, isn't it? If we are judged by our sins which is fair, you will be surprised that we also deserve the intense punishment that we wish others. We do not realize the depth of sins that we commit every day. In fact, we normalize some evil actions and act oblivious as if that is how we were created. We hide behind the veil of imperfection when it is our sin but the sins of our fellows we coruscate and call for harsher punishment. Some people just believe in hell because of the thought of seeing someone they detest suffer eternally. Not that the Bible supports it but that idea appeals to them. The children of Hitler believe that their father is forgiven as everyone else who died and is in heaven with God while many including families of his victims believe that he is in hell burning. Sadly, these same people might attend the same church and have the same faith. Then there is conflict in the faith. kachi19: 1 Like |

kachi19:If we have to go by how many books were written then we would not have the Mosaic law, to begin with. It is your right and choice to read and assimilate whatever information that you desire. I do not find it distasteful at all but it is also nice to re-examine yourself to know what is truly helpful in building a stronger bond with God. Do you have to consume the entire writings of old to feel connected? Concerning the ones that you have read, how much have you applied so far? Would you be happier if you consumed the Apocryphal text? You can pray over it and decide what is truly beneficial to you. As a Christian, I read and believe in the Bible. I would want to practice everything Jehovah has commanded if I could. I have read some Apocryphal text and I find it deluding. Calling African Christian daft is not nice at all. They are intelligent humans seeking the truth about God. They give their time and make sacrifices to do this and you should at least applaud them for believing in God and seeking to find him. There are millions of Europeans, Asians, and Americans who discredit the Apocryphal texts. I respect your decision to honor it, but it is not a criteria for Christianity. 1 Like |

removetheturban: God doesn't want anyone to go to hell. That's why he sent Jesus to die for you. If you find yourself in hell, you decided to go by ignoring God's warning. Hell was originally prepared for Satan and his angels. Devils have no redemption. But anyone who rejects God's plan of salvation has made himself a candidate for Hell. It's up to you. Whether you believe it or not doesn't change the fact. If you don't believe it now, you will when you get there. Then, it will be too late. 2 Likes |

Not an atheist here, but Christians should know that this Bible we are using now has gone through several modifications. The Roman Empire and the Holy Roman Empire did some serious modifications to the book. According to scholars hell is one of the concept the church used to keep people I check those days. |

I keep asking what about the almost 5 billion people on earth who are not Christians? Will they go to hell just because of a geographical location?

removetheturban: You have made it coherent that hell is bare at the moment and not that you don't believe there is or? This is the reason at least one of the major i took to old books and can't quote from the apocalyptic because it's discredited. Even at it you feel asking for greater punishment is being Cruel as them but from Rev 6:10 "And they cried out in a loud in a loud voice saying; How long, O Lord, Holy and True, dost thou not judge & Avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? 11- And white robes were given to them; and it was said unto them that they should rest for a little season until their fellow servants also & their brethren that should be killed as they were should be complete It's not wrong to ask for justice even the SAINTS did too afterall he is a God of Justice Psalm 37:28Verse ConceptsFor the LORD loves justice And does not forsake His godly ones; They are preserved forever, But the descendants of the wicked will be cut off And then the lord says in Rev 21:8But the cowardly,the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.” Not me but the lord... As much as you don't believe hell is occupied i can tell you hell is occupied by the watchers and fallen and Nephilims but i don't know about humans But what about the story of The Rich man & Lazarus 1 Like |

Okay! I believe in hell but which are you referring, hell or hellfire? And, you seem to have skipped my questions.

Is lying a form of godliness? You do not need to lie to prove that you are a true Christian. Why did you say that JW do not believe in the scriptures and in Jesus? You should not go that low to feel good about yourself. It is not Christ-like at all. nelsonoba:Now get it from a JW. We believe that Jesus is the son of God, that he died and was resurrected on the third day. His blood was given as a ransom for our sins. So, why did you blaspheme against the JW? nelsonoba: 2 Likes |

removetheturban: The bible is our christian holy book! but at the time the bible was written; the paper used was made of papyrus and amate papers and they were stored in vases that can't withstand the harsh temperate and time and they melt gradually & yea it was written in greek so these words were transcribed intellectually (middle age technology) and there's the "fill in" words and sentences they predicted to fill the spaces they couldn't match from the old scroll that had been eaten out or faded. Under emperor constantine the bible was compiled in texts. But in 1684 the Vatican decided that "Inspirational" books only to be made in the holy books. Many others that deemed "dangerous" or "unholy" where removed from the canon, kept in the Vatican libraries. The Authorized King James Version called these books ‘Apocrypha’. It separated them, because the Bible said so in 2 Esdras 14:46... there were 75 books removed and out of it just 14 i can tell you are unjustified exclusion the others are arrant hoax. They complete the bible widens your scope to why certain things happened at certain events in the bible. Some other disciples of christ had their own gospels, it just unfair they're deemed unworthy (like the gospel of Thomas). Did you know the book of Enoch actually described Hell in full details?!? |
Re: For Those Who Think Hell Is An Empty Threat From The Bible! by Nobody: 7:04am On Feb 01, 2018 |
Wow! You are full of intelligence and I appreciate that. Nevertheless, there are a few questions that I will need you to answer. kachi19:When was the Bible written? kachi19:is papyrus made of ice? kachi19:Was the Bible transcribed or translated? If If you say the words in the Holy Bible were transcribed, how about the apocryphal text, were they also transcribed? Is it apposite for a transcription to be called holy? kachi19:Wow! Is there any evidence to this? kachi19:I am confused here. Can you tell me exactly when the Bible was written? kachi19:Are they still there in the library today? Can one have access to them? kachi19:Why is the KJV called authorized? Do you accept the term authorized? kachi19:What is Esdras and what does it mean in English? kachi19:You mean, YOU CAN TELL ME. I am amazed at the depth of your knowledge. What gives you that credo to decide which is justifiable and unjustifiable? kachi19:I had no idea. What did Thomas say about it? How about Judas Iscariot, did he also pen down the real reason why he betrayed Jesus? I would like to read his conversation with the Scribes. Also, is there any record of the writing of the Scribes and Pharisees? I will also like to read how they twisted the scriptures. 1 Like |

Liard: No Love in vengeance o jare and no love in wrath either, there's no need to preach fear and the holy spirit will definitely guide us to the word of truth if we CHOOSE TO LISTEN TO HIM. Hell is not about fear, same way Heaven is not about fear or enticement both are just reality of the choice we make. Remember the Bible said in Proverbs that "He who the father loves he chastises" so dont think living our lives anyhow will get us pampered because of Grace. God is not mocked WE SOW, WE REAP.
