RJHinds, you have infamously said to me (a fellow Christian) that "I deserve to burn for eternity in hell" - simply because I reject the doctrine of eternal suffering. This is a horrendous thing to say; a far worse hate crime than anything an Islamic extremist could do to me.

You explained your rational (if that is not an oxymoron) of this callous comment by claiming I had refused to accept the teaching of Christ on the doctrine of eternal suffering. In order words because I disagree with you.

I asked you in sonhouse's thread if another Christian poster "deserved to burn for eternity in hell" for rejecting what you claim is the biblical teaching of the 6,000 years of creation; you said no, but have refused to explain why.

Here is your opportunity to defend your position.

How can rejecting one truth in scripture be awarded with eternal burning in hell even if you are a Christian, and rejecting another truth not be punishable at all? Are you just making up your own rules of Jesus' behalf?

In matters pertaining to spirituality related questions neither you, nor anyone else should be "concerned" with anything said by anyone if it's not in alignment with what is actually taught in the Word of God [epignosis: doctrine built upon doctrine].

Are you aware that virtually every difference of opinion between Christians in this forum is over interpretation of the word of God?

Edit: I too would appreciate your (direct and specific) answer to FMF's question please.
