Any definition of eternal damnation that isn't death is absolutely contrary to a God who 'is love'. If there was an actual place of eternal fire, torment, etc. it would indicate that (most) humans have a greater ability to love than their creator. All my opinion, of course, and I'm agnostic so there is no faith at work here that might assist in perception, etc.

ETA: Did not intend to sidetrack the thread. I saw the post and forgot the topic at hand.

 

not me, brother. i'm not going into a cave.

 

This is 8th Maxim. It's what we do.

 

gonna need ov to verify.

 

That area looks awfully 'Squatchy.....

 

so one must, at least in some part, participate in the gaining of one's own salvation?

 

only a fool, blinded by science, would try to argue otherwise.

 

This thread reminds me of an old question...

You're home alone. You hear a fart.

Do you laugh? Or are you scared?

 

Nooooooo......


We should be able to do whatever we want and still feel entitled....

You don't believe. That's cool. I'm not shoving my beliefs on you. Please afford me the same courtesy of not trying shove your unbelief on me. Thanks in advance.

 

my apologies, jay

everything i say may be wrong

 

HAHAHA-- now show some connection between these ghostbuster rejects' toys and something not mundane.

 

That hurts. If this is the only life I got, I always have everything to lose-- unlike someone who believes in an afterlife.

 

I struggle with what al Hell encompasses. Whether it's fire, brimstone, both of neither; I really don't know. In my heart of hearts I feel like whatever it may be, I've missed it with the preparations I've made. To me, a man that's failed in life more than he's ever gotten right, the worst thoughts on Hell has nothing to do with a fire. It's an eternity away from the One entity in my life that has truly been the only stable force my whole life. I've said it here before but I think it bears repeating... I'm not religious. I attend church regularly, but I despise religion. My relationship is ultimately what I want remembered, and what I believe ultimately will take me "home." I don't know other than a few scriptures what to expect that "home" to fully be either. But I know it's not an eternity away from God. No matter the alternative, that's my goal.

To me, my faith is what I will cling to. Even when there are things I don't understand nor that I can fully wrap my head around. Some may say that makes me a simpleton, or someone that is ignorant. Both of which I will attest to, and I'm sure many here would too. All I know is what I've felt in my own life.

 

It's always gonna be something with you, isn't it???

 

I'm not talented enough to express my personal experiences.

 

You're my favorite Godless heathen, IP.

Never forget that or that God still loves you, my friend.

 

I pray for brother IP.

 

That's great.

Best: When IP prays for you.

 

Just don't cross the streams.

 

In a world of uncertainty, you can count on that.
