Thou shalt not question God.

I hope you made that up on your own.

If your priest told you that, you are even more gullible than I thought.

[Blake]

Not the Jehovahs Witness ones.

For thread purpose, I'd like to stick to the Old or New Testaments originally passed out by King James.

[leemajors]

is a real place according to the Bible.

only pops up in the New Testament. Gehenna is referenced in the old, but that is not . Similar to Purgatory more than anything else.

Sheol was translated by King James as in at least one place in the OT off the top of my head.

Bad translation imo, but I don't know any church that will criticize it.

They twisted it to suit their purposes for sure. Hard to guilt people into silly beliefs if there isn't something terrible in store for them if they don't.

Well that's thoughtful of god to wait until after Revelations to fry the non believer.

You are supposedly given physical proof of god and Jesus' existence during the 1000 years of peace, after the 7 years of trials and tribulations, etc.

It's all bull but it's funny how Christians ignore their own fundamental beliefs so they can feel better about their religion.

What makes you so sure he was the one who created it?

It is easier to believe that it was Satan's doing.

Why would God cast the devil out of heaven then make a home for him to reside?

I'm not a religious type or pretend to know alot about the bible but it seems to me it would be counter productive to throw someone out of your kingdom and at the same time making him his own. Thoughts?

For the same reason the states/government create prison. The convicted didnt build a prison.

During his weekly address to the general audience of 8,500 people at the Vatican on July 28, 1999, Pope John Paul II rejected the reality of a physical, literal as a place of eternal fire and torment. Rather, the pope said is separation, even in this life, from the joyful communion with God. According to an official Vatican transcript of the pope's speech, Pope John Paul II noted that the Scriptural references to and the images portrayed by Scripture are only symbolic and figurative of "the complete frustration and emptiness of life without God. " He added, "Rather than a physical place, is the state of those who freely and definitively separate themselves from God, the source of all life and joy." He said is "a condition resulting from at udes and actions which people adopt in this life." Concerning the concept of eternal damnation, the pope said, "Damnation consists precisely in definitive separation from God, freely chosen by the human person, and confirmed with death that seals his choice for ever." The pope also added, "The thought of and even less the improper use of biblical images must not create anxiety or despair." Rather, he stated, it is a reminder of the freedom found in Christ.

Thou shalt not question God.

That mentality is pathetic, and it's frustrating that so many Americans have a similar point of view religiously and politically and are afraid of considering change that could actually progress this country. This has more to do with the stubborn at ude of not considering, even for a few seconds, something different than it has to due with religion.

So you could donate money to the church in hopes of not going to .

Money that they won't pay taxes on.

I'm not angry with Christians until they push their religious beliefs into politics.

ROME (CNS) -- God's mercy and love are great, but those who reject him should know that "exists and is eternal," Pope Benedict XVI said.

http://www.catholicnews.com/data/sto...ns/0701686.htm

Are you a Christian? Catholic? Is that why your ass is aflame?

Or are you addressing me for no good reason?


Which Pope is right about , vy65?
Benedict or John Paul?

[vy65]

I'm not a Catholic or even a Christian. I got no horse in this race.

I don't see why what the two Popes are saying is mutually exclusive.

[vy65]

lol doesn't even bother reading the article he links ...

"The important thing is to understand that "the true enemy is attachment to sin, which can lead us to the failure of our own existence," he said."

"As a theologian, the pope wrote about on several occasions. In the 1968 book, "Introduction to Christianity," he described as a state of existential abandonment, "the loneliness into which love can no longer reach."

What a ing idiot ...
