Christianity EtcRe: Does The Hellfire Punishment Make Sense? by Hermes119: 8:03pm On Nov 22, 2020

I have answered you by Laying Out the Laws!

But to pass Judgement on my fellow man, that is impossible for me to do. For I am not appointed Judge of the Soul of my fellow man.

And NO MAN has That Jurisdiction to Enter Judgement upon the soul of his fellow man.

So Just Be Patient and wait for the Court, for Surely You Would Not Miss the True Judgement.
This is not what the conversation was about,you are shifting goal posts

What we are discussing is the irrationality of hell fire as a punishment for finite transgressions

I'm asking you if you consider it fair that a person who has lived by christian values and defaults at the last minute is sent to hell

Let's get some things clear

1) I'm not implying that you are the one doing the judgement
2) The bible makes it clear that sinners would go to hell so I'm assuming that the man(being qualified to be referred to as a sinner) is sent to hell
3) What I need to know is if you consider it fair that such a person is sent to hell

I'm repeating my question severally for emphasis,if you can't provide a simple answer say so. This is not a Sunday school,I don't need your lectures on what righteousness is and what its not,don't emphasize on unnecessary things,just answer my question

Do you consider it fair or not ?

grin You've Rung Bell 1 in your Scenario above for Law 1 is Righteousness or Rightness not Wickedness or any evil.

Law 2 is Steadfastness in Righteousness or Rightness, consistently. And a Righteous man knows that, to be Righteous, he must always be Righteous for The Law is - "Be Ye Holy,.."

And this is exhibited by Another Law which Says- "A thing is Only Good, when Every Element in it is Good; It is Bad, when One Element in it is Bad!"

And yet, there are Other Laws, the Righteous man Must Abide with.

However, there is a Gift from The Law, for The Righteous man, which is why we say "we hope on the Mercies of The Lord, who shall blot out all our sins.

And this is The Law of "Blessed is the man, whom The Lord Will Impute No Sin".

Blessed is the man who figures The Accurate why!



cheesy "And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?"
Simple question I asked you won't answer

truespeak:
First Error is that you are making the Error of Judging Yourself "Faithfull" or asking me, who is also writing the Faithfulness Exam, to Judge You "Faithful".

This is beyond any man's power to so judge himself exactly as a Student passing Judgement on his Exams is not True, but the True Result Proceeds from The Examiner.

And in this case, God is The Proper Examiner who can Rightfully and Truly Declare who has "faithfully served Him".

So, it is He who will Properly Settle All these issues in here, Not I or any man.

Any man who passes Judgment on these issues, usurps the Jurisdiction of The Lord and is a meddlesome interloper!



Same for passing the Judgment of "GENUINE Repentance"

This is the Law - “For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.”

But it is The Lord Himself who hath Jurisdiction to Judge All these issues, and He Shall So Judge.
Let me rephrase
In the context of the thread,which is to demonstrate the incredibility of the concept of the biblical hell as viewed by most believers as a JUST form of punishment for earthly transgression (you think otherwise) I presented a scenario to counter u view. And I would ask this as a question now

If a person serves your God steadfastly for the majority of his or her life,and by steadfast I mean he is righteous but unfortunately he slips and commits a sin and dies before repenting,where would he go ? . There are only two options

if he goes to HEAVEN then that means that people can go to heaven even though they died in sin,that is not my concern for now
if he goes to HELL,would you consider that fair ?

and vice versa,a murder,rapist,serial killer repents at his deathbed,if God sends him to heaven do you consider that fair especially in light of the first scenario ?


I don't expect you to give an answer that would implicate your faith,the reason I'm taking my time to write these episodes is for those reading,they would decide who is making more sense

Christianity EtcRe: Does The Hellfire Punishment Make Sense? by Hermes119: 5:33pm On Nov 22, 2020
Christians know that the concept of hell has a lot of issues but they won't admit cos they are dishonest. They would never agree with something that paints their religion in a bad light
and the unknown (afterlife) is the only thing they can hold on to convince people because as long as life on earth is concerned, Christianity does not offer you any significant edge over others except perhaps you are a pastor

Its easy to say that someone deserves to go to hell for little crimes but ask them if it happened that their son or daughter who they raised in the Christian faith and who lived most of his life as a Christian commits a "little" sin and dies in the process,would they still consider it fair to have him tortured for eternity alongside murderers,rapists,serial killers, terrorists
They would never give u a direct reply

I don't take most of them serious

Because I can Hurt , Beyond Imagination, And I Do Not Like Hurting, Neither Do I Want To Hurt.

So, I Remove Myself From Seeing your Hurting of Me, Yet, They Reach Me. I Turn to the side, yet they tap my shoulders. I move away and put Another to Deal with you, Yet, He too, Cryeth Out to Me, that He is Overwhelmed, and that He Too Requires Judgement.

Whilst I did all these, 80 years went by in your world and alas, he who has sinned, is put in prison for My Trial and Examination of him, because Many Cry Against him, for Judgement.
You cited an instance of a person who was vicious for most of his life
What of a person who was a fervent christian for over 50 years of his life and then suddenly he commits a sin and dies in the process,where would he go to ? he goes to hell and burns for trillions of trillions of trillions of years
Is that also fair to you ?

Let us count the Weight of All Your Offences which began to read from the age of 7, which is the age of liability according to the calculation of man as shown in your laws.

So from age 7 till date and for the next 80 years, You have been Racking up Offences Left and Right, Up and Down, For These Long Long Years, Still Going Unanswered and neither have You Ceased from them.

Is That Not Cause Enough?

Okay, E Never Finish Oh!

What of the Gravity of All Of These Offences!

Ranging From The Offences Which You Call Small-Small Offences which become the Little Drops of Offences which make Mighty Offences, Carrying Mighty Punishments And Then to the Severe and Grievous Offences, Which Also Carry Severe And Grievous Punishments!

Then E Still Never Finish Oh!

The MULTIPLE And NUMEROUS NUMBERS of TIMES That You Committed ALL THESE OFFENCES!

We Are Still Not Done oh!

The Persons (Complainants) Against Whom You Committed These Offences!

In Here You have Two Complainants!

The Person Whom You Directly and Immediately Offended Who Cries Every Day For Justice, Recompense and Remedy For Every Day Your Offences Go Unanswered!

And The Owner Of These Persons whom You Also Offend By Your Very Act And Whom Is The Direct Recipient Of All These Cries For Justice and Judgement!

Let me stop here!

Tell! How Shall You Judge The Matter?
What of a person who serves God faithfully for over 90% of his lifetime and them at the very last moments commits a sin like fornication,where does he go HELL

What of murderer,rapist who commits so many heinous crimes for over 90% of his lifetime but GENUINELY repents at his deathbed,where does he go HEAVEN


Is the above scenario fair to you

You don't believe that people were killed at the lekki toll gate despite the first hand eye witness accounts,live videos,meticulous media analysis and reports by reputed media outlets and confirmation of casualties from the families of the deceased,you are still asking for "evidence". But guess what,you believe that a snake and donkey spoke Yiddish,the red sea was divided,the sun stood still,a man ascended into space on a chariot,Zombies came out of their graves and perused Jerusalem, five loaves of bread and two fishes fed 3000 people and the list goes on and on and when we ask for evidence you present us a book which is a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of the original copy which was written thousands of years ago by authors we know not,lost,found,recopied,compiled,transliterated,translated, retranslated all by people we do not know and then passed to us by our slave masters who do not have any use of it anymore. There you go,this is a more credible evidence than the ones you have in support of the lekki toll gate killings

No ms. You are wrong. Homosexuality is not natural, it's perversion of the natural. If you are involved in it, you have to stop for your own sake
I'm tired of hearing that homosexuality is unnatural so I would ask u these questions

1) What do u mean by natural and show how homosexuality diverts from that norm

2) Do u consider every other act that is "unnatural" to be bad ?
Christianity EtcRe: Christianity And LGBT by Hermes119: 2:13pm On Nov 15, 2020
Ihedinobi3:
I think that you just made my argument for me. Obviously, homosexual relationships do not produce offspring without help from heterosexual activity. So, the very thing is an argument against its own self.

This is, of course, not even bothering with any arguments about the effect that being raised in an unnatural family setting has on any child. Of course, the individuality of human beings can also cancel such effects in the children, but that does not mean that it is by any means ideal for them.

I'm afraid I might not continue this debate going forward, LordReed. I really don't see what good doing so would do.
The point of homosexual relationships is not for reproduction !!!

People who have been raised by a "natural family setting" still end up as criminals and the rest. It is not about the setting its about the training. We have single parents and orphanages and other unnatural settings raising kids who become law abiding adults

No, no one is under any compulsion to follow the Christian way. But that is exactly the same as saying that no one is under any compulsion to eat healthily. You can eat anything you like. But if you eat unhealthy things, you will harm yourself. Is that bad? Whatever you think, I think you would agree that it isn't good. Likewise, you are free to indulge in homosexuality if it is not against the law and your partner is consenting, but that does not mean that it is a good or proper thing to do. It is harmful to you and to the rest of the human community, even if you have the liberty to do it.
How is it harmful to the human community ?

Ihedinobi3:
I asked questions several times and in different ways, LordReed, and you accused me of playing dumb.

I don't see the difference between your argument about homosexuality here and how I stated it earlier.

I think that your claim about the effects of homosexuality on the human community is both ignoring the obvious and assuming perfect knowledge of humanity, both of which make me unwilling to accept its validity. Obviously, homosexual relationships limit the perpetuation of the human race since it ties up reproductive resources. That is deleterious in nature. Since, also, you cannot know humanity perfectly, it is entirely possible that there are other deleterious effects that you failing to reckon. For one thing, if homosexuality is truly evidencing insanity, then it may be tied to other deleterious effects that are not immediately apparent to you. So, it is not a comparison of apples and oranges.
You say homosexuality is wrong because it ties up reproductive resources, can we condemn Friars too. Besides homosexuality is about pleasure not reproduction, a homosexual person can still have as many kids as s/he wants if that is a necessity to the person.

I think that that is a comparison of apples and oranges. Writing is a human invention with which we communicate and preserve knowledge. It is not a moral matter at all. We write in many different ways, with lead markings, with ink, and now with phones, tablets, and laptops. It is a question of
and ability how we write, not one of morality.

Most of you guys do not know USA constitution. I think you guys should read article amendment 12 of United state constitution. You will understand that president Trump will have his second term.
According to USA constitution the swing states that Trump lost with a margin of less than 1% will be recounted. However after the recount, Trump still didnt conseed, then the house of representatives will vote on who will be the next president. But the vote will not be by all members, but 1 vote from each of the 50 states of the country. The shocking about this is that republicans controls 37 states. At that point what do you think will happen. The republican house of reps will officially vote for president Trump for a second term. What do you think that make Donald Trump not to conseed? Because he understands that votes are still being counted. He understands the constitution.
Boris Johnson and other world leaders that have congratulated Biden don't know the U.S constitution abi ?

I.dont need to argue with you. God destroyed Sodom and Gormorrah because of homosexuality. Thou shall not kill is specifically mentioned in the 10 commandments. It is one thing to surreptitiously engage in those things you mentioned in secret, it is another to champion it as "human rights" in the open.
One of the Laws of the ten commandments is to observe the Sabbath.
God sanctioned the stoning of a man who went to gather sticks on Sabbath. Today Christians not only desecrate the Sabbath by working, they have even turned Saturday to the "Work day" of the week

So please explain to me how homosexuality is a worse sin than desecrating the Sabbath

but at least he's more moral than Biden that supports Abortion.
Trump is a lesser evil, he's not a saint.
So ur basis for supporting a politician is his stance on homosexuality and abortion

You see this lays credence to the opinion that Nigeria deserves the leaders we have. Our leaders don't support the aforementioned but how has that bettered our plight. The most important things we should consider while selecting a leader is his/her leadership qualities,economic policies and accountability but no it is religion and ethnicity that matters to us
