The lie that you believe

[DR4GON]

You say that God is all-good. How can God be all good if he murders souls in hell?

But He doesn't murder souls in hell..........people make their own choices as to their going to heaven or hell.....God just lets them go to the place they have chosen for themselves....

 

[AuraTwilight]

I don't believe in Hell or an Omnibenevolent God.

How is it the lie we all believe if a good number of us dont believe in such a deity?

Howwwww many times can I say this.....god is responsible for everything in reality....including the idea of sin, and the environment and opportunities for sin, ultimately, god is responsible for sin and evil being a reality since nothing can be real without his doing. But thats if you believe in "sin".

How have you discerned that people going to hell is the antithesis of good?

He doesn't. We kill our own souls with our on sin. EZ 18

How can God be all good unless he judges the evil in this world?

I dont fully understand the question. Are you asking why do (if their is a hell) people go to hell. Or are you saying their is a hell and that God murduers people in hell. (which would be impossible as they are already dead)?

Life is a test, and no one is responsible for mans problems except the people who caused mans problems. For those of you who have trouble comprehending who this is, its the person who stares back at you from the mirror, and the person you see on the street. Not believing in him is fine, you do what you want, but when you spite him for something that is your problem, and after all that he's already done for you, it makes it sound like your just looking for someone to blame your problems on doesn't it?


Oh, and he doesn't murder souls in hell, Hell is defined as the absence of God, and as the ultimate punishment. So we can assume that by denying him, we are sending ourselves to Hell, which is the absence of God's presence.

Oh yeah? Is that how you read that bit about the lake of fire?

 

[ArchaicTruth]

What can fire do to a being that has no physical form? You take the bible too literally

I like how you get to pick and chose what's literal and what's not based on your theology. Are you so well acquainted with the will of God?

 

[ArchaicTruth]

You like something about me huh? Well, its nice to know you are capable of something other than snide comments.

lol, it's called interpretation, and everyone interprets things in their own way.

I assume that God is worth following, and if it turns out that he's some evil bastard, well then screw him.

not dead ... never die .... slow roast at 350-400 degrees a little kerosene or gasoline basting from time to time... their choice to be there .... just like our choice to obey our parents , society, or those in charge at work and all choices have consequences .... folks in hell are there, for that is what their choice led them ...

Not all suffering is at the hands of other men. Some of it really is pointless. Volcanoes, Earthquakes, Diseases. Jesus Christ, thank God for the concept of Original Sin!

Christian Theology wouldn't have an invisible leg to stand on without it.

 

[ArchaicTruth]

Right, obviously your missing something, because original sin is hardly a crutch

Why on earth would anyone choose to spend an eternity in agony and torment? This is one thing that always annoyed me about Christianity. If we get into Heaven its through God's good grace, but if we end up in hell, it's all our fault. Never figured how that one worked.

 

[ArchaicTruth]

Fidelis, I'm fair sure the post you quoted has already answered your question....
