My previous post.
.....Here is what you said
.....Wait let me guess the early Christian belief in hell had nothing to do with the then existing Jewish belief in hell, it all came from Babylon and Egypt 1000+ years before.
A number of logical fallacies, argument from silence. Putting one's self in the place of God, "If I was God and I wanted to warn people about hell, here is how I would write it.[ . . . ] I didn't find it written exactly that way so it must not be true." Lack of evidence is not evidence of lack.
You would be well advised to not throw around personal comments such as "an arrogant and overbearing attitude, these are your methods." I suggest you read the forum rules, [here]. I will not mention this to you again.Putting words in my mouth again, a violation of manners in any forum, IMHO. I do not lack evidence, but you will never admit it. Clever sidestepping, an arrogant and overbearing attitude, these are your methods. I cite Scripture, you cite the Talmud. All can see who is lost here.
.....Here is what you said
"[God] did not hint at sending His people to Hell as a solution. For every proof text a damnationist can show me, I can dig up several places where God could have mentioned Hell, but did not. Given what I have seen and read so far, I know I am not wrong."
..... This does not say exactly what I posted but it means the same thing. From your POV this probably appears to be correct but when a native Hebrew speaking Jew read the Hebrew T'nakh did they see hell in the scriptures? And when Jesus taught about "fiery torment in hades,""eternal punishment,""hell where the worm does not die and the fire is not quenched,""furnace where there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth" did that contradict or support the Jewish belief in hell?.....Wait let me guess the early Christian belief in hell had nothing to do with the then existing Jewish belief in hell, it all came from Babylon and Egypt 1000+ years before.
