They'd be much better off being simple hedonists, in this life and the next, though not as hedonists in the next life. Just better off.If they are not true believers then, if the Judeo-Christian Scriptures are to be believed, there will be absolutely no opportunity for them to engage in hedonism in the age to come?!

Doesn't the fact that everyone now subjectively interprets the Scriptures for themmselves
Don't mess with the bestHow in God's Name would they be better off in the age to come if they are not true believers in this life since only those who live by faith from first to last (Hab.2:4; Rom.1:16-17) have any hope of redemption and escaping everlasting perdition?

No, not until you read it.Simply repeating your previous statement does not answer my question?!

Sounds like YOU are claiming to know it. How else would you know it existed unless you know its content? Kind of like Adam and Eve "knowing" they were naked by it being pointed out to them by their guilty consciences.<snip>Similiarly there is a great truth in the bible that if revealed would destroy the church as we know it. I believe that the ministry through the centuries, including the Popes, were fully aware of this truth but could not reveal it because of the damage it would reek. I also believe that many that visit these forums also are at least aware at some level of this truth.<snip>
Or even to the point of a pike, or to the point of the pyre or rack. Ah! The good ol' days! Augustine! Luther! Where are you when we need you?Yes, men have always been allowed to interpret the Judeo-Christian Scriptures for themselves. What they have not been allowed to do is to mis-interpret the Judeo-Christian Scriptures for themselves (i.e. believe whatever they wanted). There was a time when the Church uniformly held to the fundamental Truth of Judeo-Christianity (Acts.2:42) as being the Truth and anyone who dissented from the teachings of the apostles was subject to ecclesiastical discipline, even to the point of being excommunicated, as appropriate.<snip>
