Your comment: "You see Timmy, that's how YOU believed (might still do) how there are those who 'deserve it.'" From that, I inferred that you don't believe they deserve their eternal punishment. No, I'm not sure, as you don't like to give clear answers to simple questions, but it seems that you do?
Calling them wicked helps, I suppose. People like me, who don't believe what you do and so will burn in hell forever. Wicked ol' me.
SMH.

That's your opinion.

Yes it is.

But of course, that's what the Bible says Timmy.

Does every Christian have the sound mind they are promised? The peace? The joy?

I believe that God is doing His job, and we need to do our job. Teaching doesn't mean everyone gets it at the same time, or at the same pace. While I think CJ's teachings are off, and he believes what I believe is some adopted teaching from 325 A.D.. God is trying to lead, according of our proportion of desire for Him. This will either propel CJ and I forward or keep us where we are. You on the other hand made up your mind (for now) to dis God,

I have never dissed God.

and make yourself the master of your reality.

You are the master of yours, also. Dispute that, if you can.

We who believe in Jesus, CJ and myself are Neanderthals, and you are the pioneer of a brave new world. You are wise in your own eyes, more than happy to be thrown into the flames to be purged until you say UNCLE, (CJ's belief) to enter into eternal bliss, or be tormented day and night forever and ever (what I believe) because of your OWN choosing. Again, we all have free will, and you need to use it properly.

I am not happy to be thrown into flames. I won't be. Nobody will. There is no reason to believe that your myth is true, any more than any other religious imaginings are true. None.

Yet, be it purging through flames, or torments, these matters are nothing more than mythologies to you, being spouted by religious midgets on a forum. Yet, we all die Timmy, so when we die, then all will be proven, whether they were right or wrong.
|
Do you hope you are right and I'm wrong? My prediction is that when we die, we are just dead. We are no longer, just as we didn't exist before we were born (or conceived, if you prefer). But your prediction is that I will suffer forever, and you will be happy forever. Is that your
preference?
Do you really want it to end up as you think God designed it?

Hypothetical guy who reads a religious book for 50 years becomes hypothetically enlightened then sees things differently?
No sincerity in finding God, then you are sincerely following something which isn't God.

You know a lot of things that you can't possibly know. Like my sincerity. But sure, since
I have arrived at a different conclusion than
you, I
can't be sincere.
Arrogant much?
