So I was having a discussion with someone and they argued because they don't believe in God that they will be punished for eternity by God in hell.
When it's actually the opposite ..... God does not do the punishing ....
You have always put a wall of protection around him and his home and his property. You have made him prosper in everything he does. Look how rich he is! But reach out and take away everything he has, and he will surely curse you to your face!” “All right, you may test him,” the LORD said to Satan. “Do whatever you want with everything he possesses, but don’t harm him physically.” So Satan left the LORD’s presence. (Job 1:10-12 NLT)
God allows satan to punish people to test their faith and glorify him through every situation. God will not punish you for eternity for not accepting his son as your savior. Hell isn fully described but I believe the greatest punishment will be eternal separation from our creator and knowing who [b]HE[/b] is and not being able to be near him or worship him.
What is your take on this subject? I would like to know honest answers .... I won't be replying to trolls and people trying to start a fight. Have a blessed day.
Edit: I'm not here to fight or argue with you nor do I judge or condemn anyone for their beliefs, remarks, questions or replies. So don't get that wrong. I just simply want to discuss.
Edit: 700 posts ..... It's been good discussing with you guys.
Edit 2:1000 posts ... Good to see the word of God is being seen by so many. Once again happy to discuss with all of you your opinions about the subject. I did not create this thread to judge, fight, or condemn.
Edit 3: 1700 posts ... It's astounding how many people that reply that know nothing about the bible, nor have read the bible but yet want to argue it's truth, or that the bible has contradictions/errors in it.
Edit 4: 2000 posts ... I have really enjoyed discussing everything with you guys. I am just planting a seed, it is not my job to harvest it.
Edit 5: read and study Roger Oakland, evolutionist, biologist turned Christian .... Very amazing story of redemption and salvation. You might learn something from him .... He's smarter than me at explaining it all.

6 답변Lol, so many people saying ur an idiot and stuff, just because you made a post about the bible. Everybody has freedom to express their beliefs, but just because some of you don't believe in god, and believe all life magically sprouted from a puddle, you don't have to beat on people who think otherwise. Just because you don't believe in god doesn't mean you should be a jerk to those who do.

1 답변"If you don't like me you're not invited to my party!" -God. An all loving, all benevolent God would not punish his creations. He would test them through challenges but never hurt them beyond what they can take yet so many people suffer disproportionately. I believe in purgatory--a place of tests and challenge and redemption before entry into heaven is possible--before any concept of eternal damnation.

1 답변Hi. I was reading your replies to other people's posts and I was wondering why you talk like that. Not that's it's wrong or anything, it's just different. I myself am a christian and have been for six years now. I'm all for preaching the good word and all but I'm saddened by how non-believers view Christianity now a days. This is mainly because most of the time I hear of situations where Christians are force feeding their beliefs on to others. What do you think? Personally I only talk about God when someone needs hope or are lost. I try my best to be mindful of others beliefs and not to be pushy about mine. You know the whole "treat others the way you wish to be treated"? I don't know, I just want people to see that not all Christians are pushy hypocrites. Everyone has the right to believe what ever they want, (whether they are correct in their beliefs or not isn't for us to judge) but I like to believe that everyone is given the chance to accept Jesus when they die. And now I've been at this for a few minutes and have pretty much said all I needed to say, I think I'll post this and hopefully not start a war.

3 답변Well, I honestly don't know what happens. Religion states that the fate is based on your deeds done when alive. Who knows? We may have another life, but of course forgot about past ones. I try to not think of this stuff usually

6 답변Im not going to debate with you on the existence of a supernatural being. You can believe all you want, have fun with that. I just have never seen anything that makes me believe some all knowing being is watching me. I personally just believe in science which logically explains the wonders of the world.

1 답변This post was a losing battle from the beginning. I'm a baptist, not like I should be but your not going to catch me denying my faith. I very rarely touch these posts but felt compelled. I appreciated the scripture but the simple fact (especially on the Internet) is they can't reason with us and we can't reason with them. Good post, good effort, professional replies from OP. Agree to disagree fellas? Na, I know the keyboard courage is coming lol.
