1. I didn't write that which is written in Ezekiel and also in most all of the other books of the prophets.

2. And are these "true teachings" found anywhere in scripture or do you make them up as you go along?, undecided

The true teachings of Christ are about the Will of the Almighty Creator which manifest in Creation as immutable, unbending and adamantine Laws. These Laws are observable all around us as well as in Nature.
At the outset, I mentioned some of those immutable Laws such as….Law of Sowing & Reaping, Law of Homogeneity, Law of Spiritual Gravity, Law of Motion, etc, but you responded that everything is “Wrong”!
Did Christ not teach you about Sowing & Reaping?….Whatever Thou Soweth, Thou Reapeth
Everyone is free to believe what he likes and “earnest seekers” will always be guided to where they will find the Truth while those who claim they already know everything better will find Nothing!! undecided undecided

1. Clap for yourself, you just beautifully articulated rubbish! The biggest joke of all is your point 2, so if man does things in ignorance and has had no chance to be enlightened, your God automatically condemns such a person? I refuse to believe that, I prefer to believe that he is all merciful and all knowing. He created them and knew the condition they would live in and would not punish them without giving them a way out. Your faulty reasoning is based on your own enlightenment and education, you have never put yourself in the position of those who are secluded from the world, you have never considered their perspective hence your argument is null and void!

2. There are over 50 islands in the world where Western and Arabic religions have neglected, over 50 islands where modernization does not exist, these people were created by God and if you believe these people are all going to hell because they don't believe in your version of the way to worship God then one must really ask the question, ARE YOU OKAY?
1. Wow... you really are an example of what an eejit is, aren't you? undecided

Did man create Himself or any of what He sees around Him? You say you want to believe God is an endlessly merciful God yet the fact is this endless mercy you pretend you believe in ends the moment you take your last breath and it hasn't occurred to you that indeed there is a limit to what is God's mercy on you? undecided

Again, according to the God of scriptures, unbelievers perish in the grave when they die - they are returned back to the dust from which they were made. This is God's judgment since the time of Adam and remains so even to this day - Genesis 3 vs 19 undecided

As for Heaven and Hell, both domains in the Kingdom of God, they are reserved only for those who chose to accept God's offer of salvation in Jesus Christ - John 4 vs 1 - 8 & Matthew 7 vs 13 - 14 & Luke 13 vs 22 - 27 & Matthew 25 vs 31 - 46. This is the Law as given by the God of the Bible where it concerns His Heaven. undecided

Now you can always create for yourself your own heaven in your head there if you don't like His Law. undecided

2. See #1 above, or better still scripture for answers. undecided

1. Lol, you picked 'family' and discarded 'environment' to drive your points... Let me not drag further.
Give a single Bible verse where "GOD" promised man/mankind heaven for their good deeds or hell for their evil deeds. Please take note: I said "GOD" I'm waiting your answers.
You didn't bother to read the book at all but are quick to jump into a debate about what is written in it anyways? undecided

According to Jesus Christ, except a man is born-again, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God - John 3 vs 5 - 8 - where Heaven and Hell both exist in - Matthew 25 vs 31 - 46 - meaning that it is only those who are born-again can gain access to Heaven or to Hell in the Kingdom of God after He returns and judges His flock. This Truth of Jesus Christ, the Law and King in the Kingdom of God, has been available for over 2000 years. So, if you are not willing to submit to and obey the teachings of Jesus Christ, you are not going anywhere near [b]His [/b]Kingdom. undecided

Have you checked the submissions of other religions?
Yes, and what I immediately realized over my years of research is that each religion defines its own deity and its own set of beliefs/tenets that it follows. So, for instance, the Allah of the Muslims is not the God of the Christians or the Jews. The Law of Moses isn't the same Law that Christians live by. undecided

Nope, none of what I have stated is based on what is my perspective but instead that which is written in Scripture regarding the God of the Christians. So, I am not certain why I would need to visit 50 islands before I accept that what is stated about the God of scripture is His stance. undecided

Again, according to what was written over 2000 years ago, a knowledge that predates you and your known ancestors, unbelievers perish in the grave when they die - they are returned back to the dust from which they were made. This is God's judgment since the time of Adam and remains so even to this day - Genesis 3 vs 19.

This is the Law as given by the God of the Bible where it concerns His Heaven and His Law is eternal meaning it will never change. It hasn't changed in over 2000 years, and it isn't about to change for your sake. undecided

You are free to believe what you like but at your own peril.
Every action and inaction has “consequences” which are the results of your refusal to adjust your life to accord with the Creator’s Will.
Those who make the effort to adjust will grow and mature in the knowledge and spiritual upswinging ….they thereby automatically ascend higher into the luminous realms of light!

You're still yarning rubbish, how do you expect those people to know the word when it has never been preached to them? If you cannot answer this simple question with honesty then you might as well not respond! I keep telling you, your perspective comes from what you've read and witnessed, how different would you be if you lived on one of those island? For goodness sake, understand that the world is much larger than your little bubble.....SMH!

yes don't get too obsessed with God's word some verses are self contradicting and Jesus always spoke in parables. the most important thing is to believe and trust in God for everlasting life.

Nobody preached to me before I found this out for myself after investigating many religion in search of Truth.

You didn't investigate shit....Stop the CAP! You were fortunate to be born in a country with resources and that was religiously inclined. I can guarantee you if you were born in China, the odds of you being a Christian would be 70% less. Believe it or not, you're not as smart as you think, so save the mumbo jumbo, even the internet that you're using now is a privilege given to you based on the advancement of your society, God could have created you on an Island where your daily life consists of farming and hunting, common ABC you no go sabi, so REST!

I asked you a simple question to show/give me any verse in the Bible where ”GOD” promised any human Heaven or Hell... You're deviating from what I asked you.

Simply give me the answer to that question (it's very important you show me)

I have alot to say, and don't please don't see this as an argument.... simply see it as a curious ”Child” seeking clarify from his ”Father”

And please pay attention to the personality I used ”GOD"

Maybe I do not understand what you are getting at. undecided

According to Jesus Christ, only those who believe in Him can avoid perishing in the grave...John 3 vs 16 - 21 - this is since He only gives eternal life to those who believe in Him and are born again as a result. This means that all those who remain unbelievers even after hearing of Jesus Christ will never get eternal life. They will never be born-again as a result, and so they will perish in the grave following God's judgment in Genesis 3 vs 19 undecided
This right here is a clear heresy.

John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Anyone who believes in Jesus is not condemned, he is not going to be Judged for his sins anymore. Those who are cast into the fires of hell are the condemned.

John 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

Matthew 25:33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.


25:46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

The sheep of christ are those that followed him, those he gave eternal life.

John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:


10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.


Jesus christ says there are two types of resurrection.

The resurrection of life and the resurrection of damnation.
Meaning those who are resurrected to damnation will not have everlasting life.

The life here means eternal life

kobojunkie is a satanic heretic beware of these anagents of satan. jesus, budatum and many like them are misleading people here


John 5:29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

1. I think you should read the story again, this time making sure to abandon all previous notions of things. undecided
Recall that God promised the righteous eternal life and that they would be resurrected at the end when Jesus Christ returns to rule over Israel. And according to Jesus Christ, those who belong to Him are asleep in their graves. But here we have instead Abraham wide awake and alert to the goings on in the underworld, having conversations with even those damned by God to perish in the grave, why? undecided

The Righteous saints of old are not in the graves asleep, they have resurrected already. They are in heaven already, d death nd resurrection of Jesus has made it happen.
Matt 27 Vs 51-53 already dealt with that. They have risen with Christ already.

Until u know that man is a spirit being nd spirit don't die. That's d reason hell nd heaven is there, there's no middle ground either u go to heaven or hell.

Before Jesus resurrection, they couldn't go to heaven so they have to stay in Abraham bossom till salvation come.

1. What? shocked

2. So, what you are saying is God lied when He said He created man from the physical clay of this world - Genesis 2 vs 6 - 7-, and that Jesus Christ also lied when He said that the only birth you had from your mother's womb was a physical birth - John 3 vs 1 - 8? undecided

3. God never promised Heaven to the righteous of Old, so why would they need to go to Heaven, to begin with when the promise God gave them was instead Eternal life to be lived forever in the Land of Canaan - Deuteronomy 30 vs 15 - 20? undecided
