Well a few minutes in a "lake of fire" would seem like paradise compared to an eternity of pain and suffering in "hell". If I remember correctly, a while ago you were saying that all atheists would burn in hell, just because they aren't christians. I don't really care what you think anyway, because I know it's all BS.
"And one of these days we'll no longer betray Ourselves in anyway We won't all look the same way down And one of these days we'll no longer betray Ourselves in anyway Then we'll all take the same way out " -John Henry, Darkest Hour I really hope so. These little bit of lyrics somehow give me hope too.
It doesn't say that Christians can not pass judgement on others, but that we should not, and leave that part to God. Eat it too fast and you get a stomachache? Do you think we should keep an open mind? Created in his own spiritual image, not physical image.
You want us to be tolerant of someone who tells us to burn in hell? I dont even think having an open mind is applicable in this situation. If I tell you that you're retarded and you say "no, you're wrong and I know it" would it make sense for me to say "you're not being open minded!"?
God gave us free will as a gift, but there can be no free will if there are only the right choices, and so, he allowed sin. Sin came into the world when Adam and Eve ate of the forbidden tree [a bad choice]. God didn't naturally have sin in the world, but it is one man's fault that it came into the world. Because He is a just God, sin can not go without punishment, but also because He is a just God, he gave us a way out of sin, by allowing one person [himself] to take the sin of all who believed in Him. Can you still say that He is evil?
I have been raised (and am being raised) Christian. I just have one question: Imagine a person living in a tribe in indonesia. He has never heard christianity, there are no missionaries or anything that talk to him. Yet because he doesn't believe in God he burns in hell for all time. How can a just and loving God punish someone for rejecting something he's never heard of? This in fact applies to a lot of major religions, it just doesn't make sense.
@First sentence: If you really know the truth, and you know that everyone is going to burn, and yet you also know a way out of that burning, how much do you have to hate someone to not tell them how to get out eternal suffering and "get in" to heaven. @Second sentence: Having an open mind is to say that everything is possible until evidence states otherwise.
You're right. 2 siblings and a tree caused all bad things in the world. @First sentence: Okay tell that to everyone who has never heard of Christianity or Jesus (noman's point). Then tell that to everyone that existed before christianity, cuz they never had a chance to get out of hell and 'get in' to heaven. @Second sentence: Evidence that Hell doesn't exist? What evidence do you have that Hell exists? You can't prove or disprove something that never existed. If you say the Bible is evidence, then where your evidence that the Bible was sent from god?
Athiest Any proof out there god exists? NONE! If you want to argue with my go ahead. I like to hear the other side of the story and attempt to counter it There is no real proof that god is real.
