    Eternal Hell

    You would think that God...being God and all... could come up with a better plan than to create an eternal torture chamber where 90 percent of the creation he "so loves" will end up. His mercy endures "forever" and his compassions "fail not". Would that not include Christianity's fabled...

    heaven/ New Jerusalem

    Wow! A 3 1/2 year feast! I hope it's steak. Seriously. Have you considered the words that come off your keyboard? We are going to be feasting for three and a half years? LONG TIME. That;s all I can say. Especially while God's wrath is poured out on earth. (tongue in cheek) Can anybody...

    Question about Heaven and Hell

    This certainly "implies" that you do not understand the scriptures nor the heart of God. Endless torture is the devils idea, not God's. Jesus came to give us life and life more abundantly. So then if you don't believe in him, you must fry in unspeakable pain for trillions of neverending...

    Is it a sin to listen?

    I wanted to post a reply to this in the Christian only section. (I am a Christian but my icon is church/other because so many Christians give Christians a bad name.) Here is the post: Is it OK to listen to non-Christians? Is it OK to shop at non-Christian stores and deal with...
