Thanks for the response B.W. It'll definitely take me a while to digest all of that because it gives me a lot to think about, but it seems to clear up all of my concerns regarding hell.
Thanks a bunch!

Re: Issues and clarifications with hell, please take a look?
Frogsterking, Humans are not children of God until they recieve Christ and are adopted into His family (Romans 8:14-16; 9:4; Gal. 4:5; Eph. 1:5). Until that time we are just his creations. Humans are created as eternal beings, therefore we will exist somewhere eternally. God is completely Holy. So,...

Re: Quick clearification question on sin
Annihilated means "to make into nothing", hence the inclusion of "nihil" which means nothing. Saying the Denver Bronco's were annihilated is more of a figure of speech because they weren't actually made into nothing, which the word means. Are you referring to what the Patriots d...

Re: Why are so many philosophers and scientists atheists?
Why are so many philosophers and scientists atheists? The answer is very simple, because classical philosophy has been all but forgotten by modern philosophy and for good reason, it has no answer for it. And when you can't provide a rational rebuttal, the smart thing to do is to ignore it and build...

Re: Quick clearification question on sin
I am back from a short vacation and only now catching up on these matters. Been around these parts already. Most of these forms of arguments seek to wiggle one's self out of eternal consequences by twisting scriptures and word meanings. Take for example Matthew 10:38 and the word translated destruc...

Re: Issues and clarifications with hell, please take a look?
Hello, recently I've been struggling with the concept of hell and how it reflects a loving God. Here are a few of my issues: I haven't spent the time to read all your questions... But in a nutshell.. G-d doesn't send anyone to hell... We send ourselves to hell as our freedom of choice. :eugeek: I d...

Re: Issues and clarifications with hell, please take a look?
I just returned from a short vacation and will get back with you on these points a bit later. These questions have been answered on this forum before. To start things off -let's look at question one: 1) Eternal punishment for limited sins. Is it fair to punish people eternally for sins they may com...

Issues and clarifications with hell, please take a look?
Hello, recently I've been struggling with the concept of hell and how it reflects a loving God. Here are a few of my issues: 1) Eternal punishment for limited sins. Is it fair to punish people eternally for sins they may commit during their short lifetime? 2) Is hell reasonable? Why create a place t...

Are those with an intellectual belief saved?
This is a question from another topic I found. I don't really understand the argument that because I no longer have faith in God, that I wasn't a true Christian to begin with. There are a few pastors of 30 years out there that have also "lost their faith." How do you determine if someone i...

An overwhelming amount of philosophers and scientists are atheists. Why? Doesn't that make Christianity look bad?

Sex before marriage?
How can the Bible's stance on sex before marriage be interpreted for our time period? In Biblical times, people got married much younger and marriage was quicker and easier. I read a verse I can't remember right now about how a couple within marriage shouldn't be celibate for long so that they are n...

Re: Is God a material thing?
Yes but is there Biblical evidence for this interpretation?bippy123 wrote:God is pure spirit, the light of eternal mind, but that doesn't mean he can't manifest himself in the flesh which he did in Jesus Christ.
