Re: Why do YOU think YOU DON'T deserve HELL?
So, tell me Bobbie... does a 2 month old child born to Hindus in India deserve Hell if he or she dies?


For the purpose of this discussion HELL IS REAL.

Now answer the question.

Or do you not like the answer?

He warns us to test all teachings before accepting them

1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.

Re: Why do YOU think YOU DON'T deserve HELL?
Anytime I had a question about the religion I was being taught as a young person I was told that if I had those kind of questions I was probably not 'REALLY SAVED"

but I did all that I was taught to do... if I felt led by the lord to accept jesus as my lord and savior I was to come forward at the alter call...make my profession of faith, pray the prayer of salvation and then be baptized. I did all of that... and of my own free will because I wanted to love god and do everything right to avoid burning in hell when I died... so i was taught the way to avoid this was to do the above... I worried about every little sin and went on mission trips and on and on and on... but questions kept coming and who better to answer them than people in the church that taught me all this stuff...

so first I am told I am probably not really saved... then later I am told I am probably dealing with a demon in me... nice.

someone else who couldn't answer my questions said that I was being rebellious and was out of the will of god... okay.

others to whom I went for answers told me I just had to have child like faith and it was a sin to question the mysteries of god.
there's lots more but you get my drift.

so out of this I decided to look for the answers myself...outside of this religion that had no answers.

in a nutshell... I discovered that I was NOT BORN DAMNED.
There is nothing I need to be saved from in this life and I am not going to be punished for all of eternity for making this determination when I set out to seek and find the truth.
I am not deceived, I have been freed from ignorance, myths, manipulations and the fear that is a creation of men and entities with negative intentions for mankind. I have done nothing BUT seek the truth and for that I DO NOT deserve eternity in a hell...to answer your question, but your question is based on fairy tales so it is really moot.

Yes, he drove many out. What people say can often be less important than how it is said.

I wrote it because I found similarities in the content of some of your posts and that preacher I was referring to. It reminded me of that time in my life.

I deserve Hell, but I am no longer headed there. I was born again by the grace and mercy of the resurrected Christ.

It was by a loving person who witnessed Hell and Salvation to me in a way that was kind, patient, and tender that I received the true Gospel. Yet, even though that witness was tender, that witness was still strong and straightforward enough to get the reality across to me, with no fluff. It also made sense to me logically speaking. A good teacher can explain why he believes what he believes, and it will transfer and compute to another person IF the truth is God's truth. God's truth makes logical sense.

I am speaking as a listener of you, an observer. I'm just telling you what I see, without mincing words. I am also sharing how I got saved and what drove me further away. It may not mean a thing to you, who knows? Take whatever you will and discard whatever you will. Even discard all of it if you wish.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 790943


Some people come to Christ because they know they need him and are lost so they are ready for the Message of Grace.

The people here are have to first know they need God, before they can receive Grace.

1Ti 1:8 But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;
1Ti 1:9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
1Ti 1:10 For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;
 Quoting:



The law is to produce guilt, guilt is to produce remorse, remorse is to produce repentance,

Repentance plus faith = salvation.

 Quoting: Preacher Bob


I strongly disagree. It's by the testimony of God's grace, and our acting in graciousness that causes people to be attracted to God and us in the first place.

There is NEVER a wrong time to testify of God's grace and mercy. In fact, that's the Gospel message. The cross is the ultimate act of mercy and grace.

God's grace is what people should see in our lives that causes them to know they need God in the first place. Not because we are dammed. People already know deep down if they are condemned or not. The Holy Spirit is on it.

I say you have it backwards. You think I do perhaps.

There is no hell in my belief system.

For your own contemplation, aren't you glad you were born in the western world? I mean, otherwise, you'd believe in whatever religion all your neighbors and your parents believed in, just like over 2/3 of the world.

Wow, thank goodness your geographical location of birth was so fortunate that you'd be born where the "only true religion" is popular enough that your parents, teachers and guardians could brainwash you into the right religion.

You are so funny trying to wiggle out of hell.

1- Lets say she does goto hell-

You then say, I would never worship a God like that!!!

But you still get to go to hell.

2- Lets say she gets to go to Heaven.

You say hey thats no fair that she gets a free pass, where is my free pass.

And you still get to go to hell.


You get to go to hell because no mater what way you choose your path leads to hell.

The only way you don't get to hell, is if you accept you deserve it.

Then you place your Faith that Christ will save you.

A free ticket is not what Christ offers.

But it is not something you can earn either.

If you are looking for a loop hole only you neck will be in the loop.


If you think you are able to force God to do your will, then your God is Satan.


Now I guess you are just unable to answer which is why you won't on why you think you DON'T DESERVE HELL.

Since you think you already have the answer, I will show you his words, not for you since you are unable to understand but for the others who might be able to learn something.





Mat 5:22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.


Mat 5:29 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

Mat 5:30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

Mat 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

Mat 18:9 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.

Mat 23:33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?

Mar 9:43 And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:

Mar 9:45 And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:

Mar 9:47 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:

Luk 10:15 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell.

Luk 12:5 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.

Rev 1:18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.



But since you think you know it all, you should also know this too

2Ti 4:1 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;


So once he has judged and you are found guilty you shall be cast into hell.
 Quoting: Preacher Bob



Bob, Jesus didn't speak English. The words you just quoted were put in his mouth by scribes. Look up what the original Greek says. Gehenna is not your beloved mythical Hell - it was a dump outside the city walls. It's the same as when someone is warned they could end up in a landfill, or become fish food. Those who actually did end up there after the Romans demolished Jerusalem were denied an honorable Jewish burial. Their *bodies* were dumped unceremoniously into the fire.

Show us where in the scriptures up until Jesus arrived that God ever defined hell or warned of it. By your argument, God nonchalantly allowed people for ages and ages to stumble into eternal fire without ever warning them that such a thing could happen, and not until He became a man did he suddenly bother to say anything about it. Do you really believe that's how God does things?

Why do you believe his hand is short and cannot save?

2 stars. I dinnit have the heart to give just one, because goshdarnit, you're tryin' so hard.

Being Born Rich does not mean that you will continue to stay rich.

If you make mistakes you can loose it all.

Birth maters not. It only allows a person to seem to be more than they really are.

If you are born with 1million dollars and you cause it to grow to 1.5 over a life time, have you really done much.

But if you are born with nothing and after a life time you end with 300,000 dollars. Who really did well?

Someone who has to overcome much more, vs someone who already has too much.

How about ALL the people from neolithic societies? You know, the ones who existed at least 41,000 years before your ignorant bible scholars think the earth was created? Do they deserve Hell considering they existed long before the concepts of Xtianity you are trying to peddle here?

3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.
1 John 4:1-5 (KJV)

Re: Why do YOU think YOU DON'T deserve HELL?
'If there is no hell, no punishment, what then?'

>>Ever consider that nothing happens after death? Are you so fearful of losing your 'self' that you have to make up stories to console yourself? That is a child's tactic.

"Reincarnation? why have to die in the first place?"

>>I never said a word about reincarnation... but if you wanted to be technical... energy can be neither created nor destroyed... and matter equals energy... if you HAD to have a crutch to handle your crippling fear of the grave... reincarnation is probably your best bet.

As for having to die in the first place... the nature of the universe is entropy.

'What answer do you have to explain the evil in the world?'

>>There is no answer, child. But for humor's sake... YOUR god would have no concept of human evil... if one takes at face value that idea that your god is 'perfect' - a highly laughable concept....

Therefore, 'evil' would only be the strange way some humans act to your god... because it has no concept of humanity.

The simple truth is that you are nothing but a fearful child clutching your security blanket like a retarded Linus.... waiting in vain for your great Pumpkin to descend from the heavens and shower you with gifts.

Re: Why do YOU think YOU DON'T deserve HELL?
Now... your turn, bobbie...


How about an aborigine living in the outback who has never even heard of the Xtian god? Does he deserve Hell?

How about ALL the people from neolithic societies? You know, the ones who existed at least 41,000 years before your ignorant bible scholars think the earth was created? Do they deserve Hell considering they existed long before the concepts of Xtianity you are trying to peddle here?

Or do only FEARFUL children like YOU deserve eternal punishment in 'Hell'?

Re: Why do YOU think YOU DON'T deserve HELL?


Why do you believe his hand is short and cannot save?




Why do you think you deserve his hand?


Answer the question why do you NOT deserve HELL?
 Quoting: Preacher Bob


sigh

I do deserve hell, and not his grace. But he's promised mercy in Christ, so I'm all for it - for me and for everyone.
Facing the depth of our own personal iniquity is vital, so that we don't end up like the pompous Pharisee thanking God for how much better he is than that awful Publican over there.

Re: Why do YOU think YOU DON'T deserve HELL?
perhaps hell less about us and more about whatever created it. do we go there to suffer or do we go there to give pleasure to god with our suffering? god's #1 always remember that god comes first in everything. isn't that the teaching? in our arrogance we place ourselves at the center again "hell is all about us" .. partly so.

Re: Why do YOU think YOU DON'T deserve HELL?
Dear Preacher Bob, no one deserves to go to heaven. They, we, go there because Jesus died and paid for all of our sins. That was the only way anyone was going to heaven. We go there through grace, unmerited grace, not by works and not because anyone deserves it as no one does, not even Mother Theresa.

So the question is irrelevant regarding why no one thinks they deserve NOT to go to hell.

Re: Why do YOU think YOU DON'T deserve HELL?
Anytime I had a question about the religion I was being taught as a young person I was told that if I had those kind of questions I was probably not 'REALLY SAVED"

but I did all that I was taught to do... if I felt led by the lord to accept jesus as my lord and savior I was to come forward at the alter call...make my profession of faith, pray the prayer of salvation and then be baptized. I did all of that... and of my own free will because I wanted to love god and do everything right to avoid burning in hell when I died... so i was taught the way to avoid this was to do the above... I worried about every little sin and went on mission trips and on and on and on... but questions kept coming and who better to answer them than people in the church that taught me all this stuff...

so first I am told I am probably not really saved... then later I am told I am probably dealing with a demon in me... nice.

someone else who couldn't answer my questions said that I was being rebellious and was out of the will of god... okay.

others to whom I went for answers told me I just had to have child like faith and it was a sin to question the mysteries of god.
there's lots more but you get my drift.

so out of this I decided to look for the answers myself...outside of this religion that had no answers.

in a nutshell... I discovered that I was NOT BORN DAMNED.
There is nothing I need to be saved from in this life and I am not going to be punished for all of eternity for making this determination when I set out to seek and find the truth.
I am not deceived, I have been freed from ignorance, myths, manipulations and the fear that is a creation of men and entities with negative intentions for mankind. I have done nothing BUT seek the truth and for that I DO NOT deserve eternity in a hell...to answer your question, but your question is based on fairy tales so it is really moot.



No you answered my question you answered that you were not born Damned.

Ok so I will go with that, but did you do anything in your life that now means you are damned?
 Quoting: Preacher Bob


are you trying to be funny there bob? because I'm wanting to laugh.

I gave you my complete answer. repeating; I have done nothing but seek the truth and for that I do not deserve eternity in a hell.

Re: Why do YOU think YOU DON'T deserve HELL?
if religous people spent half as much time tending to their own sins and faults, as they do trying to tend to others sins and faults, then perhaps they would be a fairly good act to follow
