Maximus69:

It simply means grave!

DappaD:

It means there's no literal/symbolic place of torment as most churches teach today. It's not a Biblical teaching, it's a man-made doctrine made to scare people so pastors can keep robbing innocent people off their hard earned salaries
Like Maximus69 said earlier, the word translated “hell” is most Bibles today actually mean something else in the original scriptures “Sheol” (Hebrew) and “Hades” (Greek) and in English “Grave” . It depicts a state of inactivity/nonexistence where the persons thoughts and feelings no longer exist(Ecclesiastes 9:5,6,10), that all humans encounter when they die. Not a place of fiery torment.

budaatum:

You want a religious person to tell you what to think.

Why?

Maximus69:
Frustrated Churchgoer turned atheist!

budaatum:

Thank you for seeing me, Junkie, and for making me see me too.

LordReed:


Doesn't make their god concept any better. Their god is supposedly going to annihilate billions of people and is so petty he will resurrect dead people just so he can annihilate them too.

Xmuslim:
of course their concept of is funny too.

But the fact that their own imaginary god is not going to burn people in hell makes it far better than Muslim and Christian gods

Doesn't listen to LordReed. He's so ingrained in his debauchery and wants every other person to follow his unwise course as well. That's why his mind is always disturbing him when he sees people who want to learn the truth.

The Bible reads at 2Peter 3:9:

“Jehovah is not slow concerning his promise, as some people consider slowness, but he is patient with you because he does not desire anyone to be destroyed but desires all to attain to repentance”

If everyone on earth should attain to repentance and begin doing his will, of course he won't destroy anybody. But obviously that's not going to happen. Wicked and stubborn people will still be there even till the day Jesus comes as God's chief executioner. The wicked people in the world have to be cut off as you and me would agree. A time would come for that to happen (Psalm 37:10, 104:35; Proverbs 2:22, Matthew 25:46)

Despite that, God does not take delight in destroying the wicked people. He feels pain in his heart when he has to do away with wicked people. Because they are all his creation too. It is unthinkable for the true God to act wickedly (Job 34:10). He does not practice favouritism (Job 34:19)

Also at Ezekiel 33:11:

“Tell them, ‘“As surely as I am alive,” declares the Sovereign Lord Jehovah, “I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that someone wicked changes his way and keeps living. Turn back, turn back from your bad ways, for why should you die, O house of Israel?”’

Does the above passages I've quoted sound like the Almighty God is a wicked God as most religions have painted him?

DappaD:


Doesn't listen to LordReed.

Xmuslim:


Don't mind him. Out of the thousands gods out there, yours is the only real one .

Case closed

budaatum:

Sounds like that's what you believe.

Evidence please, my Lord!

LordReed:

CAPSLOCKED:


YOU DON'T SAY!

LordReed:


It's like the difference between Stalin and Hitler, I sure do not want either of them around.

LordReed:


Nope, its what they believe. They are the ones to provide evidence.

LordReed:


Doesn't make their god concept any better. Their god is supposedly going to annihilate billions of people and is so petty he will resurrect dead people just so he can annihilate them too.

budaatum:

They should provide evidence for what they believe, my Lord? Sounds like an oxymoron since they believe because they know not nor do they have evidence so they can know.

Funny thing is, you made the claim.

Image123:


The role models and potentials of every atheist. My wonder is the atheist wannabes continued frustrations at a mass murderer that does not exist. Is it possible for it to be village people disturbing this people?

LordReed:


My dear buda I am sure you spotted the supposedly.

joseph1013:
Muslims say "There is no God but Allah". But they can't show Allah exists and can't show other gods do not.

They just believe it!

LordReed:


Doesn't make their god concept any better. Their god is supposedly going to annihilate billions of people and is so petty he will resurrect dead people just so he can annihilate them too.

LordReed:


Bwahahahaha, a worshipper of a mass murderer speaks! LMFAO!

Image123:


The liar beckons.

budaatum:

So, do they misunderstand their gods, or do their gods do what they suppose?

LordReed:


My dear Buda I can speak for myself. As you know when I believed, I merely believed and did not know. My beliefs had a weird way of coinciding with what I supposed.

budaatum:

Like them, you refused to accept what you saw with your own eyes and instead believed the crap you supposed in your head.

What medication did you take for it, my Lord? It can be given to others and heal them too.

LordReed:


Yes my dear buda, I believed the crap in my head.

Hmm, it can be a hard pill to swallow and a difficult treatment to effect especially for the unwilling. In fact many of them will see one as an agent of darkness, an enemy, for even suggesting that they try it.

budaatum:

Like a certain [url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+3%3A5&version=NIV]make their eyes see is called a serpent[/url]? A task as difficult as a camel through a needle's eye indeed which is why I ask what I ask of one who has the mind to ponder it on a thread for pondering.

LordReed:


Bwahahahahaha! OMFD! Someone is angry I called his god a mass murderer. LMFAO!

Image123:


What makes you think i am angry, or you're lying yet again? Is telling you the truth the same as being angry? Your calling God names is rather queer and amusing, because you keep forgetting that He does not exist. Who calls non-existent things names except little Reed riding hood.
