-Removed-The way I see it is that you have been schooled on the doctrine of everlasting torment. And you refuse to believe Jesus for Jesus says there is an eternal punishment in hell just as there is everlasting life in heaven.
"And these shall go away into everlasting punishment; but the righteous into life eternal."
(Matthew 25:46)

divegeester complains that he gets abused for challenging Christians on eternal suffering and RJHinds and galveston75 make vicious attacks on him. He asks why not one single Christian here lifts a finger in his defence. JS357 suggests two possibilities: that believers in eternal damnation are more strident than disbelievers in it, and/or all the Christians here ...[text shortened]... ivegeester are "trolls". So, do you suspect that RJHinds and galveston75 are Christian "trolls"?

And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
(Matthew 28:18 NASB)
It is you that does not believe in the authority of Jesus, not me.
"But for the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death."
(Revelation 21:8)

You're more than welcome. I note with interest the reference to Galveston Texas in your site profile. The origin of your nickname I imagine. Visited there several times during our six years in Houston. Several years later we had occasion to visit Vancouver, Washington on regional business travel during our career related relocation to Sacramento; our em ...[text shortened]... nd, Oregon. I empathize with your family's medical challenges having had a recent one of my own.
-Removed-1) Your opinion only. Nothing by the WTS has my mind clouded.
2) Being a Christian is not private but something one should be doing daily in their work that they should be doing publicly in the ministry to spread the teching of Jesus just as he did. If your not doing this, why not? Are you embarresed to do it? It's not easy as we have the door slamed in our face everyday just as Jesus had happen to him.
3) I'm not abusing you in any way, just stating what I see which is a loving Christian attitude serioulsy laking.

We went swimming and then found a small family owned and operated Italian Restaurant along the boardwalk.
It was incredibly authentic cuisine and memorable. How do you like all the rainy days in Washington?

Are you still in Houston?
The first few days of rain are ok but after a few months, nope!
Originally posted by galveston75I went down the steps to the beach at Galveston when I visited my cousins as a young teenager when they lived there in the 1950s. But that was before I learned to swim.

Originally posted by Grampy BobbyYou suggested that divegeester might be getting "trolled" by fellow Christians. Does this mean you are suggesting to him that RJHinds and galveston75 are just being "trolls"?

Originally posted by galveston75 to divegeesterYou are not abusing him "in any way"? Perhaps you need to take some personal responsibility for the words you post on this forum. You are claiming you did not abuse him "in any way"? And yet here is some of what you wrote in your post directed at divegeester:

Yeah before you slithered in and ruined it this forum was interesting ... you have taken over the spiritual forum with your Christian bashing which is as dangerous as satan himself ... Your clearly have no love for god or your fellow man ... it is clear you have a deep void full of hate and of non spirituality and as a result you are like satan ... you are a miserable human being ... you are only one tiny little human being with tiny little opinions. You are nothing more then a god hater knowing his days are numbered.
