How do you plan to escape HELL???

[Emmy]

Dear ShieldOfFaith. I say this humbly and with love, I truly do believe that God wants us to try with all our hearts, souls and minds, to Love Him, and love each other, as we love ourselves. The Bible tells us, that Love conquers all fear, and if we have love we are on the way to life abundantly on Earth, and life eternal with God our heavenly Father. Jesus died for us, that we may return to God, and now, our Lord is waiting to help us to Repent, to learn Agape, loving without selfishness, and to treat everybody as we want to be treated by others. That is the way Jesus wants to lead us, He died for all. Instead of planning to escape Hell, our thoughts always be: how can I show my love and allegience for my Saviour and my brothers and sisters. Satan has no power over us, Jesus vanquished him on Golgotha, and Jesus will lead us home. Only Satan`s followers will be found in Hell, those who hate love and loyalty to our GOD. Sincere greetings from Emmy, your sister in Christ.

mad reps bes coming!

you'd think those convinced they have eternal life to look forward to and equally convinced others bes going to a place of either eternal destruction or eternal torment, could afford to be a little more generous in their dealings in this life. after all if someone bes going to suffer excruciating agony for all of eternity, why bother with the totally self-serving sating of one's selfish little whims and desperate pathetic need for a pound of flesh here and now?

honestly, you humans. sick little lot o' ya. pathetic, weak and mewling -- like gnats biting for all you bes worth.

well for this one's money, it can only point to the words of JC stating clearly that some, as such, have their reward NOW. meaning they won't have much to look forward to later, it reckons.

Do you know how many times God has been made known to us? Have you seen the amount of miracles? Have you read about the mystics like Catherine Anne Emmerich and Padre Pio?? Have you seen the miracles I posted that happened in Zebulin Egypt? what about the 70,000 witnesees at Fatima?? What about all the witnesses of Jesus's ressurection? What about the 500 that saw him one day that St. Paul reported?? What about St. Thomas who said he would not believe unless he saw Jesus himself and put his finger in his scars and his side?? What about communion hosts turning into actual blood and flesh? What about the image of Our lady of Guadaulupe which is still displayed in mexico and has been studying and scientists still cannot figure out how the image got on the cloth. What about the thousands of crying statues and apparitions that have happened? It would be foolish to ignore everyone of them..

Don't want to derail this thread, but your reference to miracles and visions made me curious about what you think of miracles and visions of other faiths, like:

Stories of child past life recollections as evidence of reincarnation, like this one, or this one; or

Stories of the moon "cracking" or "splitting" as it is said to have done in the Quran; or

The Hindu milk miracle

Of course, I've made no effort to provide a remotely exhaustive collection of these so called miracles, nor do I express an opinion as to the veracity of any of their claims. And I don't intend for us to get into debunking or proving any specific claim, I just listed a few for illustrative purposes and to spark discussion -- do you think that "miracles" which may be at odds with Christianity, or which are "evidentiary" with respect to other religions are all "fake" or explainable by Christian or scientific means?

Pope Eugene IV sounds like a dreadful man...

Eugene IV was against the enslavement of black natives from the Canary Islands : in January 13, 1435, at Florence, Eugene enacted the Papal Bull "Sicut Dudum" about the enslaving by Spanish slave trader. The Pope wrote: ".... These people are to be totally and perpetually free, and are to be let go without the exaction or reception of money"... But the Spanish didn't listen the Pope and asserted that the black natives weren't men but a sort of animal.

I hope you know that the "thee" and "thou" isn't formal at all. That's just archaic english speak. We've left them out of the language these days -- "you" and "your" and all that is the formal.

I''d like to just ask the opening poster, is it correct to say that someone like Tony Blair who was party responsible for the death of thousands of innocnt people in Afghanistan and Iraq, and makes no apologies for it, will get a place in heaven due to recently returning to religion, but someone like me who makes an effort to be courteous and kind is going to hell? Sound fair.

First off, no one is innocent. A person that may seem courteous and nice probably has done many things that would make you think otherwise if you knew them. People tend to hide their dirty secrets quite well..

You cannot earn your way into heaven. It is only by grace of God that can help you. So no one can boast..
