The point of the process is punishment. Eternal punishment in the writhing agony of hell fire.
Rjhinds so wedded to this doctrine that he would prefer to see me burn in eternity than admit that the doctrine is pointless, vile, and brings the gospel into disrepute.
I find it extrordinary that a fellow Christian feels I should burn in hell for rejecting this doctrine.

All believers in the person and work of Jesus Christ will reside in heaven with Him for eternity. Those who have grown in grace by learning the absolute truths revealed in the Word of God will be given rewards for glorifying Him in time. Period.

dive, this persecution rant isn't even tangentially in line with the Word of God: Christians will reside in heaven for eternity.
Originally posted by Grampy BobbyPerhaps you should start yet another one of your threads where you attack the personalities of the people that disagree with you and whom you dislike?
You'd be wise to drop your penchant for intruding personalities for the purpose of attack. Focus objectively on God's Word.
Originally posted by Grampy BobbyDo you think RJHinds is wrong to claim that divegeester deserves to be tortured for eternity? What do you make of RJHinds' take on "the truth"? Are you scared he will turn on you if you make an unequivocal statement about him being wrong?
With biblical truth, context and frame of reference matter. Seriously doubt there's any way you'll understand the answer to your concerns about the eternal destiny of unbelievers in Christ and until you grasp the attributes and character of God.
Originally posted by galveston75It's odd that you should say this. It is you ~ with your sick parents and recovering wife ~ that popped up suddenly and heaped the most extraordinarily visceral personal abuse on a fellow Christian. It is you who has been coming across as very unhappy. I'd gauge divegeester's mood a mixture of bafflement and exasperation, not unhappiness. Perhaps it is the personal problems you are having, and the health issues faced by members of your family, that explain your behaviour, but it does not appear appropriate for you ~ of all people ~ to be commenting on the happiness of someone you are subjecting to personal abuse in public.
You seem very unhappy dive dude.

There are then three options: maturity responds or remains silent; immaturity which is hypersensitive to its own wishes and needs and insensitive to those of others reacts. 2) Whether it's from a parent or friend, physician or attorney, judge or the Word of God inconvenient truth stings: understand it in context and accept it or retreat into denial. 3) We adjust to the justice of God or the justice of God adjusts to us.

Originally posted by FMFHumm, nope I'm actually very happy with my life. I have a great wife, great kids and grandkids. A good job and to be a part of God's organization makes life great.

Yes my parents are not doing well and that is very sadening as it should be and one that all would agree with should be stressful and sad.
So nope all is well here.....
But from dive dudes constant daily, weekly and monthly comments not just to me but to most here at RHP, other then to yourself,it is not a happy thing to read indeed. I truly feel sorry for him and hope he can find happiness thru scripture and to no longer find the need to bring anyone down. Perhaps some day he can find an elightning scripture to share with us all and make or days brighter. That's all. 🙂
