  • 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.

Why is Hell permanent?

well mock at you will, but real people will be burning for eternity. Hell is not a joke. someday if you make it.....you will be able to glance over at them in eternity and see their sweat dripping. Won't be funny any more will it?

he is, did you forget this.....





to be the best at torturing someone.
unbelievable, i cannot even believe what i read in this forum.:prayer:

Matthew 10:28

New King James Version (NKJV)

28 And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.


why would God say that if all He was going to do was kill them, or annihilate them anyway???????

um, no thanx, if thats the heaven i had to look forward to, id rather not.
when i envision heaven, watching people cry out in agony is not my idea of heavenly entertainment.. to me, that kind of heaven sounds just as bad as hell.

the more you write, the more it sounds like you are really looking forward to watching this.....why is that....does it make you feel love, mercy and justice?

like i said...unbelievable.

why would He say this?, cause thats exactly what Hes going to do. i know you think God just goes around making idle threats, i dont.
in fact, this verse only bolsters my belief that eternal hellfire is mythical.
so you think that God said this to make people, what, scared? whats more scary than the threat of being burned alive for all eternity?!

'attention humans on earth, i can destroy both body and soul in hell, but you dont need to worry about that cause im going to keep you alive while i burn you for eternity'........sincerely, god.:scratch:

your posts are unraveling.

and btw, this would be considered a warning for us now, on earth, prior to death, not after it. now if it said something like......'do not fear those who kill the body, but cannot kill the soul, but fear Hiim who will eternally torture, or torment, as you like to put it, in a fiery hell for as long as eternity lasts.......then you would have a verse that at least coincides with your mythological hellfire doctrine. this verse totally contradicts that. it doesnt say that. it says He can destroy both body and soul.

if i tell you i can run 1 mile in under 10 minutes, does that mean i wont do it? your understanding of this verse is illogical. no it doesnt say He will do it, but where do you get from it that He wont? hint......your assuming, and for one who professes to be such an expert at bible interpetation, and debating, ummmmmm.....you assume things, gothca;)

Doesn't that just sound like God, the best at what He does? What if He just killed humans for sinning. Thats not the best! We do that every day with capital punishment! We are as just as God is! If that was the case, but it's not. God burns with Holy Fire. We can't do that.



no actually we dont, to correct you, we kill the body, not the soul, God is able to kill both body and soul, did you forget matthew already? so its not the same thing, at all.

we are not able to kill the soul, or do you now believe we can, which is it?

We mock, argue, debate, cajole, read scriptures, joke, sing...

We do anything we can to try to persuade you to give up this sadistic doctrine. But it's because we care about you and we care about the truth.

It's not sadistic. It's a just judgement by God.

Sunday school teaching, or have you actually given this some thought? Mind sharing?

This is opinion, it takes more than a one line opinion for readers to know why you believe something.

"Adam and Eve" got booted from "Edan" essentially for learning the difference between good and evil. If we as their children, no longer know the difference, why are we still here?

Is God a God of Justice, or is He a God of Mercy? They don't go hand in hand. Is God a hypocrite, who says "Do as I say, not as I do?".

Perhaps "Eternity" is not long enough for God to purify a soul?

What is it?

God is love. He is just.

In what world is this doctrine not sadistic? How is it just? You may believe it is true with all of your heart mind and soul, but you can't believe it is just and not sadistic.

I agree, This is not:
real people will be burning for eternity...you will be able to glance over at them in eternity and see their sweat dripping
"God loves you even though you don't love Him, so he is going to set you on fire".

So you don't think all of eternity is long enough to purify a soul?

What do you mean purify? It's not for that as far as I know.

I just believe what The Word of God says.

John 3:36
He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

If they get into heaven/cease to exist or whatever, then how can the wrath of God abide on them?
God wont change his nature.

Also, what do you think of all people that died and came back, or just got taken to hell and came back, and witnessed about it?

He said "real people will be burning for eternity...you will be able to glance over at them in eternity and see their sweat dripping."

In what world is this doctrine not sadistic? How is it just? You may believe it is true with all of your heart mind and soul, but you can't believe it is just and not sadistic.

I just believe in The Word of God.

I know enough to be able to say "I don't know". I know who wrote what when and why. God may have inspired, but the hand of man is still from the earth. That I don't want to share my tiny piece of heaven with an axe murderer is a given---no one wants to keep one eye open for eternity. However, I am certain there is a better disposition for the looney than setting him on fire. I am also certain that God is smart enough to figure it out.

I'm glad that you believe what the bible says. That verse says that those who believe on the Son have everlasting life. Do you believe that those who believeth not on the Son ALSO have eternal life being tortured in hell? The bible doesn't say that. That verse says that he that believeth not on the Son shall not see life. That is what I've been saying.

You don't know the nature of God, unless you look at Jesus. How many men did Jesus kill? How many Men did Jesus curse? Who did He condemn? Who did He save?

Do you think God a hypocrite to ask us to forgive our enemies, and that He will refuse to forgive His?

No one has died and gone to "hell", though they might believe it. Nerve synoptics firing away in the brain.
