Bro must you comment on peoples post? If you need to won't you read well before responding? What are you arguing over, what's your point?

I only asked if abstaining from any form blood intakes to body like blood transfusion is a sin or evil practice by the Jehovah witnesses. But check your response, you were saying another thing entirely.






Kobojunkie:
Sin is as defined in God's Law and nowhere in all 613 commandments of the Old Covenant, neither in all the almost 100 commandments of the New Covenant, did God decree blood transfusions a sin. There is nothing evil or sinful about blood transfusions and there is also nothing holy/sacred of your blood. undecided

And what is stated here is not a personal belief but of scripture. undecided

Kobojunkie:
One thing I avoided doing in my comment to you is attempt in any way to insert my personal delusions in to what is clearly written and expressed in scripture. Again, if you have any actual evidence of a contradiction, I challenge you to make it known or acknowledge you have no evidence to offer. undecided
Are you saying abstaining blood transfusion is evil or a sin?
I told you it's personal choice bro.
If you like you can eat blood.
Christianity Etc › Re: Are Jehovah Witnesses Right About Their Belief Against Blood Transfusion? by cornelboy(op):
Let say God prohibited the drinking of alcohol for christians, don't you think taking it via any means like injecting it to your body would violate His order?

JWs take medications and use the hospital but they don't just take in blood in any form. If the only way was blood transfusion, they wouldn't go for it cos they believe that even if they die, they will resurrected and meet their loves one again in the future.
I'm not yet a JW. I haven't been baptized.

You can't say that it's a dogma, it's clearly a Bible concept.

While growing up, my perception bout
the JWs was bad cos of what i heard bout them. But it's not alright to judge base on other's opinion. Find out yourself.

Christianity today is not in pure form. Our beliefs are influenced by Roman Catholic dogmas.
But the JW strives to find and believe only the Truth.

Dtruthspeaker:
Do not eat meat with blood is The Law.

The law was specific to eating it can not be extended to transfusion.

But any way, you have the ability to lose your life by refusal to take medication however the rightfullness of it is clearly beyond our jurisdiction.

So till Judgement Day then!

Now, it is proven you are clearly JW and not in transformation as you represented to me, but you are keeping your dogmas level, which is appreciated by me.

There's no point doing that bro. Just read your comments yourself.
Kobojunkie:
Why not point out the supposed contradiction then? I definitely want to see how you find the Word of God Himself contradictory. undecided
Christianity Etc › Re: Does "Hell" Really Exist Or It Was Invented By Religion? by cornelboy(op): 7:24pm On Jan 17, 2022
My advice is for you to go and study more.
Isaiah 9:6 says "a government will be on Jesus shoulder".
What did Jesus mean when he said in his model prayer "let your kingdom come", "let your will be done on earth"?

Daniel 2 .....interpretation of Nebuchadnezzar's dream

44“In the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed. And this kingdom will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it alone will stand forever, 45 just as you saw that out of the mountain a stone was cut not by hands, and that it crushed the iron, the copper, the clay, the silver, and the gold. The Grand God has made known to the king what will happen in the future. The dream is true, and its interpretation is trustworthy.”

When was this Kingdom (God's kingdom) created or when will it be created?
Who are those that will rule with Jesus as kings?
Are they only Israel? What bout the gentiles that served God with their life?

Didn't revelation 5:9-10 show that people bought by Jesus blood are made priests and kings ?
Didn't revelation 14:1-4 also suggest to you that the 144000 are the ones bought from mankind, from the earth to be kings?
Are these things hard to comprehend?
Aside the 144000 which other people will enter God's kingdom? Is there any?


God purpose for man was to have dominion over the earth and multiply and live eternally on earth.
Has God's plan for man changed?
Does eternal life means a life in heaven?

Psalm 37:29
29The righteous will possess the earth, And they will live forever on it.

Will this verse come true or God was lying?

Psalm 37:11 KJV
But the meek shall inherit the earth, And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

I believe that when the kingdom of God comes to earth and restores everything, everyone on earth then will live eternally in abundance of peace, no more evil death sickness or pain...

Kobojunkie:
1. Nothing of what is written in Revelations 14 vs 1 - 4 says any of what you claim of the 144,000 not being of Israel. According to Jesus Christ, those who belong to Him of Israel - those who are sealed - with rule with Him over the rest of Israel for a millenia so it is not illogical at all to realize that they be with Him where He is to do so. There resurrection does not change what Jesus Christ said of them. undecided

2. Neither does Revelation 5 vs 9 - 10 agree with your assertion. The song instead speaks of all the Poeple(Jews and Gentiles combined) who were saved by the sacrifice made by Jesus Christ, not John's list of 144,000 who are, again, only jews. undecided

As for born-agains, even those who will end up in the place of eternal damnation are born-again and they come from, all tribes of the earth. So that group does not help you in any way or form. undecided
Christianity Etc › Are Jehovah Witnesses Right About Their Belief Against Blood Transfusion? by cornelboy(op): 6:37pm On Jan 17, 2022

God’s View of Blood
Blood is vital. Without it, none of us could live. As the Creator, God has the right to say how blood may be used. What has he said about blood? Can it be eaten or transfused? And how can you make good decisions on this matter?
1. What is Jehovah’s view of blood?Jehovah told his worshippers in Bible times: “The life of every sort of flesh is its blood.” (Leviticus 17:14) To Jehovah, blood represents life. Since life is a sacred, or holy, gift from God, blood is also sacred.
2. What use of blood does God forbid?Jehovah commanded his pre-Christian worshippers not to eat blood. (Read Genesis 9:4 and Leviticus 17:10.) He confirmed this command when the governing body instructed Christians to “keep abstaining . . . from blood.”​—Read Acts 15:28, 29.What does it mean to abstain from blood? If a doctor told you to abstain from alcohol, you would not drink it. But would you eat foods that contained it or have alcohol injected into your veins? Obviously not. Likewise, God’s command to abstain from blood means that we should not drink blood or eat meat that has not been bled. Nor should we eat any food to which blood has been added.
What about the medical use of blood? Some procedures clearly violate God’s law. These include the transfusion of whole blood or any of its main components​—red cells, white cells, platelets, and plasma. Other medical procedures may not be a clear-cut violation of God’s law. For example, some procedures involve the use of fractions of one of the main components of blood. Other procedures involve the use of a person’s own blood. When weighing these options, each of us must make a personal decision.​—Galatians 6:5.

Kobojunkie:
1. God only said the life is in the blood.... he never said blood is sacred. undecided

But God commanded them not to eat blood. Taking blood into our via any means (eating, transfusing or drinking) violates God's law.

undecided2a.
. God’s law as given in the books of Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy applies only to those who have the blood of Jacob coursing through their veins - Deuteronomy 30 vs 15 - 20. You, a gentile have absolutely no right or claim to anything that is of that law, unless ofcourse the delusion is strong with you and you somehow believe God to be incompetent on some level. undecided

I never said God approves blood transfusion. Every christian be it Jews or gentiles are more under the law.
What are you proving bro?

undecided2b. Where God said "do nor eat", He meant "do not eat" - as in ingest and then pass out in faeces, the byproducts of eating human blood - so your claim that your blood transfusions are biblical is false, unless again, the delusion is strong with you and believe God to be incompetent on some level. undecided

Don't you read my posts everything i have been saying is that eating blood or transfusing it or drinking it or taking it into the body via any means violates God law.

undecided 2c. Jesus Christ, God's New Law extended to Gentiles,instead decreed that in the Kingdom of God, it isn't what you eat that makes you unclean, essentially making it OK for His followers to eat just about anything edible, including blood. So, unless again, the delusion is strong with you and you believe God to be incompetent on some level, you would.understand that the New Law is what your life ought to be based on as one who claims to belong to the Kingdom of God, and not of Canaaan. undecided

Lol so na blood you wan de eat now. Actually at the end of the post, i said " it all comes to personal choice". If you like eat blood or inject am into your body na you own wahala be that. But for me i won't eat it.

undecided 2d. God cannot contradict His own Truth, and no human has authority to change that which God has decreed in His Law. lipsrsealed

Yes God commanded us not to eat blood. You can't change it for me. Lol.

Knowing this, and considering the volatile relations between the Jews of the time and nonJews, what the disciples did in Acts 15, was prescribe some of the same laws God had given to the foreigners among His people of the Old Covenant, to help Christians living in the region coexist in peace with their majority Jewish neighbors of the time. undecided
If you had infact read and digested Acts 15 by yourself, you would have maybe easily figured this out on your own. The ruling was clearly meant for those who lived in the indicated area, and not for those who lived outside of the zone. undecided

But since it seems the delusion is strong with you, you let others process what is written while you consume what is their vomit at the end of it all. undecided

Jesus Christ is God's Law in the Kingdom of God and the only agreement by which God has welcomed all of us Gentiles to Him through. If you chose instead to bow to other masters , then surely you know that what you cling to is not of God but of the prescriptions of men. undecided
Your definitely the master i would like to bow to. Send me your location, i wan come bow to you.

You just talk without reasoning. I'm done with you cos you act like person wey de smoke weed always jumping into discussion to force your personal opinion. Your points are contradicting and that shows how confused you are. I didn't mean any offence bro. But it was fun arguing with you. Go and search for the truth, don't cling to your pastor's ideas. Bye.

[quote author=Kobojunkie
As for the 144,000, John, the one who spoke of them to you made it more than clear to any dingbat out there that they are, all of them, from from 12 tribes of Israel... according to the calculations given you by John, that is 12,000 from each of the 12 tribes of Israel yielding a total of 144,000. Your attempts at pretty much usurping or changing a list defined by John not only reveals you no longer care for truth and authenticity but that the delusion is strong with you. undecided

If you chose to allow fools out there deceive you with lies of their list is more authentic than John's, then I have no option but to congratulate on successfully allowing a fools delude you. undecided[/quote]I'll have to address this topic on the 144000 then readress your other questions and points again since you said they are not worth considering.
Note that my response was long because I quoted many verses from the scriptures.

Revelation 14:1-4
14��Then I saw, and look! the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with him 144,000 who have his name and the name of his Father written on their foreheads��.2I heard a sound coming out of heaven like the sound of many waters and like the sound of loud thunder; and the sound that I heard was like singers who accompany themselves by playing on their harps.3And they are singing what seems to be a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders, and no one was able to master that song ��except the 144,000, who have been bought from the earth.��4These are the ones who did not defile themselves with women; in fact, they are virgins. These are the ones who keep following the Lamb no matter where he goes. ��These were bought from among mankind as
firstfruits
to God and to the Lamb,��


The emphasis i added is to show that the 144000 are not just Israelites but from saints all over the world.
Did you also notice that the 144000 are in heaven with Jesus. Therefore it's logical to say they resurrected with a different body like Jesus before they could be in heaven. "For flesh and blood cannot enter the kingdom of God".



Revelation 5:9, 10
9And they sing a new song, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll and open its seals, ��for you were slaughtered and with your blood you bought people for God out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation��,10��and you made them to be a kingdom and priests to our God, and they are to rule as kings over the earth.”��

You see that the 144000 are those Jesus promised that they will be with him in his kingdom. And before entering the kingdom they would be born or baptized by the holy spirit.
Note that only born agains are qualified for God's kingdom but not all of them will be choosen cos only 144000 are needed.

Thanks for the link. I know your intention was to explain things clear to me, i sincerely appreciate it.




I won't be able to address all your points in that your post but i will just summarize my response here.

Genesis 2:7 nlv
[7]Then the lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground. He breathed the breath of life into the man’s nostrils, and the man became a living person.

You quoted this verse but i don't think you understand it.
It's very clear bro, before God breath into Adam he was a lifeless body made from dust. But he became a living being/soul/person after God breath into him.


Ecclesiastes 12:7
[7]For then the dust will return to the earth, and the spirit will return to God who gave it.

Maybe you don't know that the same spirit or breath of God gives everyone both the good and bad people life.
And when this spirit or breath leaves, our life ends.

Job 33:4 NLV
4For the Spirit of God has made me,
and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.



Now concerning God's punishment for Adam. God said to them in Genesis 2:17
"except the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. If you eat its fruit, you are sure to die.”

First did God mention physical or spiritual death?
It's obvious that Adam was a physical body unlike God himself and the angels who are spirit beings.
What happened after they ate the forbidden fruit? What did God say will happen to them?

Genesis 3:19
[19]By the sweat of your brow
    will you have food to eat
��until you return to the ground
    from which you were made.
For you were made from dust,
    and to dust you will return��.”

The time they died doesn't matter cos they still died and if they hadn't sin they would have lived eternally.
Thus the spirit or breath is a power from God that gives us life not another part of us that is independent.

Where did you see any clue that they had spirit that didn't die or lived after them?
If their spirit continues to live after they died where are they now, heaven or where?

Ecclesiastes 9:5,10
[5]The living at least know they will die, ��but the dead know nothing. They have no further reward��, nor are they remembered.
[10]Whatever you do, do well. For when you go to the grave, there will be no work or planning or knowledge or wisdom.


John 5:28-29
[28]Don’t be so surprised! Indeed, the time is coming when all the dead in their graves will hear the voice of God’s Son,
[29]and they will rise again. Those who have done good will rise to experience eternal life, and those who have continued in evil will rise to experience judgment.

If we continue to live in heaven after we die, why is there need for resurrection?

When Lazarus Jesus' friend died, do you think Jesus would resurrect him if his spirit was already enjoying in heaven? No cos when Lazarus died the breath or spirit left him and he was in the grave decaying.
But Jesus raised him and he of course died again asleep in death also awaiting resurrection.

Jehovah witnesses don't believe in any form of hell. Who tell you this one.
But it's true they don't engage in blood transfusion and it's biblical.

Abeg make ona confirm something before spreading rumors.

Niflheim:
Depends on which HELL we are talking about.

HINDU MYTHOLOGY: 28 hells(fictional)

SCANDINAVIAN MYTHOLOGY: 2 hells(non existent)

BIBLE: 1 hell(imaginary)

JEHOVAH'S WITNESS: 1 hell(real, a place where they will deny a woman life saving blood transfusion and watch her die)

Kobojunkie:
1. Where exactly do you have Jesus Christ making this claim of yours to restore the earth back to the initial purpose of God? undecided
John 5:28-29
"[28]Don’t be so surprised! Indeed, the time is coming when all the dead in their graves will hear the voice of God’s Son,
[29]and they will rise again. Those who have done good will rise to experience eternal life, and those who have continued in evil will rise to experience judgment."

Where will those that have done good experience eternal life heaven or new earth paradise?
29The righteous will possess the earth, And they will live forever on it.

Did Jesus promise that every believer will inherit the kingdom of God?


2. You don't believe God when He says He will put new Spirit in those who belong to Him - Ezekiel 36 vs 26 - and you don't believe Jesus Christ when He declared that all those who will enter into the Kingdom of God will have to first become born-again(a birth of the Spirit kind) - John 3 vs 1 - 8 ? undecided

Revelation 5:9, 10
9And they sing a new song, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll and open its seals, for you were slaughtered and with your blood you bought people for God out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,10and you made them to be a kingdom and priests to our God, and they are to rule as kings over the earth.”

If every righteous and good people goes to heaven who will they rule over on earth?

Revelation 14:1-4
14Then I saw, and look! the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with him 144,000 who have his name and the name of his Father written on their foreheads.2I heard a sound coming out of heaven like the sound of many waters and like the sound of loud thunder; and the sound that I heard was like singers who accompany themselves by playing on their harps.3And they are singing what seems to be a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders, and no one was able to master that song except the 144,000, who have been bought from the earth.4These are the ones who did not defile themselves with women; in fact, they are virgins. These are the ones who keep following the Lamb no matter where he goes. These were bought from among mankind as firstfruits to God and to the Lamb,
.

Bro actually you still have a lot to learn, go study and see these truths yourself. The 144000 are only the ones that will be resurrected to God's kingdom.
The rest of us remains in our grave unconscious till Jesus comes back and we'll be resurrected


3. So you are saying here that you don't believe what Jesus Christ Himself taught His disciples would take place when He returns - Matthew 25 vs 31 - 46 ? This Truth of God is lie to you? undecided

Matthew 25:46
[46]“And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous will go into eternal life
Romans 6:23
[23]For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.
The punishment of sin is death not suffering in hell after death or judgement.


4. So it never occurred to you that Jesus Christ's own disciples were Israelites and and the 120 who where there on the day of Pentecost representated, you guessed it, Israel? undecided

You need to be careful what delusions you cling to. Jesus Christ told you that Israel (Abraham, Isaac and Jacob) will be there at the table in His Kingdom, along with those from the Gentile nations. God Is a faithful God and His Covenant with Israel is an everlasting thing. undecided

All the righteous men of Old, will all of them, be offered a chance to sit at God's table in His Kingdom. If you think for one second that the musings of some group can change that, then all you do is reveal you don't believe in God But in the doctrines and traditions of men(and their churches). undecided
I presume you understand now that the people of old you talk about are still in the grave and the will be raised up when the king comes back. John 5:28-28.
Also the 144000 are not just Israelites but people from every race. Revelations 14:1-4

How? Like you aren't still hitting the nail on the head.
What is your reason for assuming and saying that? Why would you think i do not believe in YHWH God and His son Jesus who He sent to us as the Messiah.

Kobojunkie:
Jesus Christ told you that the doctrines and traditions of men(and their churches) are lies, an abomination where the Truth of God is concerned. undecided

So your claim is not simply bullsheet but also an admission of sorts that you no longer believe in God and His Truth, Jesus Christ. undecided

I'm feeling you bro.
Perhaps you don't understand that Jesus came to restore the perfect life Adam lost on earth. When he comes back, he will restore earth back to the initial purpose God created it. He will fight and conquer all his enemies.
1 Corinthians 15:24-28
Human beings were never created to live in heaven but on earth. God created us with physical while God, angels and other heavenly creatures are spirit bodies.
So do you believe that when righteous people die, they will go to heaven (eternal reward) after resurrection? No! We remain here on earth, new earth paradise.

Do you even know that Israel should not be considered God's people no more cos they don't believe in Jesus as the messiah but are still waiting for a different messiah?

In Christ Jews or gentiles, slave or free, Israelites or non Israelites are one.


I'll post some bible references later


Kobojunkie:
1. No one is ressurected like Jesus Christ to Heaven, this since Jesus Christ's was not subjected to Judgement before His entry into Heaven. However, all those who will be resurrected by Jesus Christ, good and bad alike, will be subjected to judgment before given either Heaven(eternal reward) or Hell(eternal damnation). undecided

2. According to John, the one whose dream/Vision you reference, the 144000 referrenced are those chosen by God to enter into His Heaven from the blood of Jacob - those who have Jacob's blood coursing through their veins. undecided
Then I heard the number(I) of those who were sealed: 144,000(J) from all the tribes of Israel.

John never infact stated that only the 144000 will be in Heaven this since in his same book, he revealed that there will be those from all other nations in Heaven, this in line with Jesus Christ's own teaching which reveals that many will come from all points to eat at the same table as Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob(Israel) in God's Kingdom - Matthew 8 vs 5 - 13 undecided

God will never give to the Gentiles that which belongs to His people Israel, so don't let any man fool you with lies that you become an Israelite when you accept Jesus Christ. God never said that, neither did Jesus Christ hint at any such being possible. So those who think they swallow up Israel by their mission here on earth not only delude themselves but reveal their ignorance every time they utter those foolish claims.. undecided

No I'm not yet a JW but I studied the Bible and found out they are the christian organization that teaches pure doctrines of the Bible.

Dtruthspeaker:
Yep!

I like to be in New heaven and new earth or God's Main Land, (Heaven). Anywhere really as long as it is not hell and lake of Fire, then I am very much fine with the outcome grin

You are obviously JW.

Hope you also know that when good people die, they don't go to heaven but sleep in death in their grave awaiting resurrection?
Only few chosen people are promised life in heaven after death. They are resurrected to heaven just like Jesus to be part of God's kingdom and rule together with Christ as kings, Jesus being their KING.
These choosen people were mentioned in the book of revelation, the 144000.


The rest of the Saints and righteous people who are asleep in death will be resurrected when Jesus comes back
The righteous will live peacefully on paradise earth forever
[s] Satan and his demons will be cast into the lake of fire too, that is they will be eternally destroyed too. Satan no fit burn na, na spirit being lol[/s]


Dtruthspeaker:
For me, the most important thing is that I am no where near those who are qualified for destruction.

I just want to be one of those who shall be one of the inhabitants and dwellers in the new heaven and new earth where there is no more death, hell, pains and evils, that's all!

Jude verse 23, I missed typing "2" in "23".
"And others, save with fear, pulling them out of the Fire;" which fire?



That's not the question, you asked. So now you are changing post!

And thank God you saw "raging fire that will consume" which was in answer to the question you asked.

And without going much into this, do you real-eyes that you are talking about God and His Power?

Do you think that if God says "you shall die forever, do you think there would be an end to your dying?

Is it not that men sink in the sea? yet The Lord made Peter walk with Him upon it

Fear God O! Whatever He says He will Do, WILL CERTAINLY BE DONE!



Oh, I believe that you were referring to hell as the worsest thing that can destroy a man which people call hell fire or hell for short which is also known as the lake of fire, which is what I responded to.

But if you are looking for hell, the little small one that is not a good place to be, then the Warning of Jesus Christ about it in Mathew 10:28 should be sufficient.
Alright i will first take you to the book of revelation, prove a point to you there and come back to address Mathew 10:28, Jude 23 and the Hebrew verse about raging fire.

Revelation 20:13-15
[13]And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
[14]And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
[15]And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.


Carefully study verse 14;
'Death and hell were cast into the lake of fire' . Do you think hell and death will literally be cast into the lake of fire or it figuratively means they will be destroyed eternally? Like they will be more?

Jokerman:
Lake of fire exist.

The torment there is what is described as "Hell"
Lake of fire is symbolic not literal man.

Revelation 20:14
[14]Then death and hell (grave) were thrown into the lake of fire. This lake of fire is the second death.


Death and hell no fit burn na. But they will be no more. They will be eternally destroyed.

No punishment after death??

No the purpose of salvation is not to burn in hell but to have eternal life.
The wicked won't burn in hell as well but rather they will be destroyed forever

Ihuomanice1:
Read Revelation 22 verse 1-end
Una still never understand?
Revelation 20:13-15
[13]The sea gave up its dead, and death and the grave gave up their dead. And all were judged according to their deeds.
[14]Then >>death<< and >> hell (grave)<< were thrown into >>the lake of fire<<. This lake of fire is the second death.
[15]>>And anyone whose name was not found recorded in the Book of Life<< was thrown into the >>lake of fire<<.


Really you guys literally believe that death and grave or hell too will burn inside lake of fire? No!
The lake of fire symbolically represents eternal destruction. Like death and hell will be no more!
This thing no hard to comprehend na

If you look carefully, also you would see that it is only in what you wrongly call old testament that He said "He would heal the land".

It is not for nought we sing He is the Unchangeable Change



They did!
2 Peter 3:7. Jude verse 3. Hebrews10:28-29.
Jude 1:3
[3]Dear friends, I had been eagerly planning to write to you about the salvation we all share. But now I find that I must write about something else, urging you to defend the faith that God has entrusted once for all time to his holy people.

what's your point here

Nothing also in Hebrew 10:28-29
But verse 27 says:
Hebrews 10:27
[27]There is only the terrible expectation of God’s judgment and the raging fire that will consume his enemies.


Lemme ask you a question, when fire consumes something, won't it burn it out completely?

2 Peter 3:7
[7]And by the same word, the present heavens and earth have been stored up for fire. They are being kept for the day of judgment, when ungodly people will be destroyed.

They will be destroyed not burn forever.
There's not even mention of hell in the verse you gave
I used New living translation...

■ Eternal damnation(aka Hell) is of God's New Covenant (Jesus Christ) and not of His Old Covenant (YHWH) undecided

■ The epistles where written by the apostles as their individual digest of the Gospel and not as a replacement to the Gospel, God's Truth, which Jesus Christ delivered to you. undecided

■ Jesus Christ Himself warned you severally of eternal damnation (Hell) being the final end of those who in the Kingdom of God who refuse to obey Him. undecided
lol you mean hell was created when Christ came and it's of the new covenant? Your wrong my brother.
The word Jesus use in those verses wasn't hell but rather Gehenna in Greek which describes a place just outside Jerusalem where carcasses and refuses are dumped and dumped

[color=#000000] perhaps this Isaiah verse will give you some insight
Isaiah 66:24
[24]And as they go out, they will see
    the >>dead bodies<< of those who have rebelled against me.
>>For the worms that devour them will never die, <<
   >> and the fire that burns them will never go out. <<
All who pass by
    will view them with utter horror.”
[/color]

Also Gehenna is parallel to lake of fire mentioned in the book of revelations

You'll find out eventually. Just hope that it won't be too late for you by then.
Not believing in hell fire doesn't stop me from doing good or not believing in the one true God YHWH and Jesus Christ whom He sent as the messiah. It's essential to know both of them for our salvation.

The concept of hell and a devil with a pitchfork standing in front of an open furnace, are all things put in your minds by religious leaders for their own personal monetary gain. The more you believe in their concept of hell, the more frightened you become and the more you will pay with money for the religious leaders to forgive your sins and redeem your souls

There are a lot of reasons to believe that hell (a place of suffering after death) doesn't exist:
° in the old testament (OT) God never warned the children of Israel bout any possibility of suffering after death. He didn't mention hell to any of the patriarchs and prophets rather God gave them physical punishment.
When did the penalty of sin changed from death to hell fire?

° if hell is really a place of punishment to warn people about, why didn't Paul, Peter and other apostles emphasize on it? Why didn't they mention it in their Epistles or book of Acts?

°Hell fire is one of Roman Catholic dogmas.... probably invented to coerce people to convert to Christianity and increase church revenue
