    Do Disbelievers Go Too Hell?

    The Bible teaches that God is going to operate his punishment upon an unconverted sinner in a manner calculated to result in the ongoing destruction of that person, but without ever extinguishing his consciousness. See, e.g., 2 Thess 1:6-9

    Penal Substitution.....?

    There is no divine penalty for the violation of the divine law. The operation of divine punishment upon the human is always calculated to transfigure the human. Of course, the human has to cooperate synergistically to leave their sin and be transfigured.

    Do Disbelievers Go Too Hell?

    God is going to operate his punishment upon an unconverted person in a manner calculated to destroy them unless they believe Jesus died for their sins. John 3:36. That much is clear from the Bible.

    Do Disbelievers Go Too Hell?

    Actually, the Bible says that God will destroy all unconverted people. See 2 Thess. 1:6-9.

    Do Disbelievers Go Too Hell?

    Don't forget, the vast majority of Jews exterminated by Hitler were not Christians, and thus God will punish them just as he will punish Hitler.

    Penal Substitution.....?

    How would it transfigure us, individually and as a community, to come to the belief that God is Holy® and Just© -- that He enforces his law not by correcting the wronger, but by requiting wrong with destruction, upon the sinner or Christ as atonement? I mean, I can understand how this theology...

    Penal Substitution.....?

    Is there an inner obsessive compulsion in God that he "must" do things? -- he "must" operate destruction upon the unconverted; he "must" pardon the converted; Christ "must" die on the cross; the Father "must" be propitiated by the human suffering of Christ on the cross? I know some neurotic...

    Struggles with your FAMILY???

    :D :D :D In a sub-Saharan African country where I grew up, funerals are like these big celebratios with drumming, dancing, costumes, naked people, and tons and tons of alcohol. We drink this stuff called "palm-wine" which is really just rancid water that is harvested from the heart of a...

    Struggles with your FAMILY???

    Well, you look very feminine in your photo. Good job on the breasts -- the look very authentic. How does one do that?

    Spurgeon - Salvation by works, a criminal doctrine

    What if a person has faith that the operation of the wrath of God is the means God would save that person from evil? Matthew 12:20 says that divine judgment is corrective: "A bruised reed shall he not break, And smoking flax shall he not quench, Till he send forth judgment unto victory."...

    Spurgeon - Salvation by works, a criminal doctrine

    Can we really know who is saved and who is not?

    Blood Thirsty Christians

    I almost wish we were still killing actual animals as a means of placating God and securing his pardon for our cruelty to one another. Maybe then people would not be so quick to treat each other unjustly because it would actually cost them something to purchase and slaughter an animal, giving...

    Struggles with your FAMILY???

    Were you born a male or a female? My parents used to be pretty moderate Christians, but the more I move toward liberalism, the more reactionary they get.

    Spurgeon - Salvation by works, a criminal doctrine

    But why would God be so cruel as to punish people in a manner calculated to have this effect on them? :confused:
