  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Hell doesn't exist and there is no eternal suffering, instead bad peolle just cease to exist

Yes, he can certainly do "both"
You do understand we ALL engage our adversary, the tempter, in our own minds

You merely have a surface fleshy sight of people only

If you saw the unseen other agent you'd accept eternal damnation spoken to your own face, and understand it is meant for that adversary....and

You'd REJOICE to HEAR those Words of His

Please, by all means continue with your totally unbiblical cherry picked doctrine. Someone who loves to tout this verse-

Matthew 4:4 "But He answered and said, "It is written, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God"."

But then proceeds to throw out most of the Word....

When God overcomes adversity, those connected to it will also be overcome. Destroy means destroy.

Matthew 10:28 - And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.

Sorry to disappoint you but my verses destroy your interpretation of the verses you tried to use against my theology. I have unleashed 45 verses below, which prove that your theology is based on false doctrine.

Now lets talk about Gods hatred
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Leviticus 18-22&version=NKJV
The definition is in the New Testament and the Lord summed in His commandments to us ( Matthew 7:12, Matthew 22:36-40 etc.) which originally are in the Old Testament ( Deuteronomy 6:4, Leviticus 19:18). You will notice that the golden rule ( Matthew 7:12 per Matthew 7:1-12) is the “LAW & PROPHETS” and that on God’s commandments ( Matthew 22:36-40 etc.) are which the “LAW & PROPHETS” hang or are dependent on.

You have something against the Gospel? I don’t claim any right to speak for God but to obey His commandments ( however wretchedly I do) but He tells us to ( John 14:15-18). The ultimate thing God “hates” is evil and that is what we are allowed to “hate” ( Amos 5:14-15). I would take care to not rationalize any idea of self justification as being justified by what God may “hate.”

I would carefully read ( Isaiah 55:1-12) especially Isaiah 55:8 ( I know ya did so what am I telling you huh?) well reread it and the Lord’s commandments.

Unbiblical and silly?? When we take the bible as a whole, it's always been life or death. What's silly is not taking to heart Christ's words when he calls the Lake of Fire "the second death"

Even one of the most quoted verses in the bible supports it -John 3:16 which proves only one gets everlasting life. The other perishes. It does not state the other gets eternal life in hell. But again, if we want to believe death does not mean death than one can believe anything.

Christ's words in Matthew 10:28 totally supports the words in Malachi-

Malachi 4:1 "For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave then neither root nor branch."

That's what a fire does.

To suggest there's no support in the bible for the body and soul being "fully" (the Greek) destroyed in the Lake of Fire is untrue. I mean, it is called the "second" death for a reason.


I will state I don't believe there's any evidence to support Universalism -just the opposite.

So 3 beliefs -we shall all see in the end....

I don't know why you're bothering to respond to him after all of his rantings on this page, Julie. Dude sounds like he belongs to a cult.

Do you think belief in the eternal snuff out is somehow morally better?

Didn't God say "I kill and I make ALIVE?"
God does both. Jesus talks about the resurrection of the Dead from their Graves.

Why would people need to be raised from the dead from there grave if they were already alive? John 5:28-29
Why do people believe that they are alive on the first day after their death, when Jesus says they are raised from the dead on the last day? John 6:40, 6:44

Their material bodies are placed in the grave. Their souls go immediately to heaven or hell. That is why Jesus said to the repentant thief on the cross beside Him:

“Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.” (Lu 23:43 NKJV)

Paul wrote:

“For I am hard pressed between the two, having a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.” (Php 1:23 NKJV)

No suggestion of departing this life then waiting in the grave for the last day to be with Christ.

The grave is in the here and now, in these walking wet dust piles.

Col. 3:3
For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

The raising transpires when we put off corruption, dishonor and weakness, 1 Cor. 15:42-46
Why do people believe that they are alive on the first day after their death, when Jesus says they are raised from the dead on the last day?
Hours, days, months, years and times are not as they appear on the surface.

How can a first be last and a last be first? Matt. 19:30

Please feel free to provide an example.

I think we've already discovered your positions have no accounting for the tempter's operations in the minds of ALL people, that much is sure.

And the devil certainly can not love our neighbors, that's a certainty as well.

Hey...

And for the record, almost every believer DOES believe that the devil and his messengers are "universally" across the board, sent to hell.

Universalism doesn't have a pat brand as you infer.

People, universally die, other than those at the end of this wicked age, in the transformation/restoration period.

Question for Julie and Sarah, what happens when the blind lead the blind?. Bingo! they both fall into a ditch/pit. But in this case we're talking about the bottomless pit
