The Lord is jealous in that He doesn't like others messing with His people.
Jesus saved us from the wrath of God, a
I am talking as a Muslim. God is obvious. He is hidden, but yet He is obvious and His greatness is obvious.
Choosing one race over others seems kind of racist, don't you think?
Shouldn't a loving God not pick favourites and love all his children equally?
In your view, who are not god's children?
I'm sure this has been posted about a lot. I'm an agnostic, leaning towards atheist. But recently I realized how sick the concept of Hell actually is. I was raised a Christian. We are taught about it in Sunday school, and think almost nothing of it. We are desensitized to it.
Anyway, how do you guys get around the thought of your coworkers, friends, etc., burning in Hell for all eternity in endless agony?
That text refers to the end times when everyone basically would be as bad as they get.
People today are not as bad as they can get.
Religious people as well as atheist both worship idols if they choose to do so. Worshiping money (things like that).
If you die (and I wish you long and healthy life) as you are, you would go into the Underworld.
It is not a nice place. You would reside in a neighborhood that is reflective of the sins you have committed.
Also, if you had it easy here, you would not have that easy there.
This hell is kind of a Great Equalizer.
The place has cities, levels, the gospel is also "preachable" there ... it means it would have types of churches ... but sin would be lot more obvious than here.
Sad place. Law abiding Jews of the OT were going there hopping to get the "top" level and join their "fathers".
Asians know a lot more on that as well.
That's where 'ancestral worship" came from - being afraid of own parents. Another story.
I talk too much ...
That makes no sense.
Why would God sending part of himself to occupy a human carcass for a couple of decades save us from his wrath?
He's God, why didn't he just change the rules, which was his intention anyways?
1 Timothy 2:1-5 King James Version (KJV)
2 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
2 Peter 3:5-10 King James Version (KJV)
5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

Matthew 7:2 Do Not Judge
1"Do not judge so that you will not be judged. 2"For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you. 3"Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?
Some say that hell is the complete absence of God. Imagine the kind of place that would be.
