    The mythology surrounding Lucifer/Satan/The Devil

    Every Christian I know will agree that the image of Satan as a red guy with horns, a pointy tail, and a pitch fork is just a legend and a non-biblical description.

    Why is hell even necessary?

    Do you understand how small we are?

    What does every body think of this verse?

    What does it say about the view that once you're a Christian, it's impossible to fall away; and if you do fall away you were never a Christian? This verse seems to say otherwise. And obviously in addition to that it says it's impossible to come back to the faith once you've rejected it, so is...
