Why don't you believe in Hell?

But Satan can trick you into abusing God's gifts, and eating too much. He can turn you into a glutton and that's bad. Whenever I feel hungry, I scream the name of Jesus. If I'm still hungry afterwards, I know it's OK to eat.

Marquis wins this debate. Argument by funniest post in thread.

Truthseeker, I didn't mean to slight you. You are indeed witty and kind and charming, and it is a pleasure to read your posts. But I'm sorry, Marquis and Lisa win the shiny ribbons on the sheer quantity of coffee through nose moments.

Not to worry. I was just playing :D

I agree about the Marquis and the fabulous Lisa, BTW

That's not very biblical, though is it?

Most of the verses I can find imply we do not go directly to heaven, but that Jesus will judge us all only when he comes back to earth. Like I say, I don't know what 'flavor' of christian you are, but both Lutherans
and Baptists seem to support this (And they don't agree on much of anything) or are they pseudo-christians as well?

Maybe you can clarify these verses for me:
Rev20:12-15 "And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. "
Also,
1 Thessalonians 4:16
John 14:2-3
Ecclesiastes 9:5

I will give you that Jesus told the thief on the cross that " Tonight, you will be with me in Paradise" but that could be taken from the thief's point of view (i.e. he's dead, unfeeling, and then he is resurrected in Heaven)

Has s/he actually said what denomination s/he is?

Having been raised Lutheran, I can at least confirm that statement (that judgment is believed to be an all-at-once, after the tribulation etc. event) But then, Lutherans are often accused of being the only Xians who will remain seated while singing "Stand Up For Jesus," so what do they know?

Ah yep. Was raised Lutheran, my wife was raised Southern Baptist, hence my examples. First time in her parent's church, I was mortifed by the lack of ties and organ music....

The verse you speak of is describing what Jesus will do to the modern generation who inhabits the earth when He returns.
 
Wait I am not sure exactly what that verse is saying so let me think about it. I thought it was saying what Jesus will do to the present generation but I could be wrong. Let me get back to you, ok? All I know is that when you die you will taste either God's Wrath or His Glory. There will be no ''sleeping'' souls who wait for Jesus's return.

No thanks, I don't need anything from your childish, malevolent sky daddy. I'll choose option c - nonexistence - as not only the most likely option, but the one I'd prefer most.

I thought you were kidding, but s/he said it in the other thread, so sad.
 
While I'm disturbed that there might be others like him, I am glad it's only nine.
