So you mean there is no pain and suffering for people who don't believe "Jesus is
the Way to God"?
If all you care about is avoiding pain and suffering it isn't love motivating you to God.
Avoiding pain and suffering is purely a selfish act.

Originally posted by @fmfMy answer was simple and to the point, if it is beyond you so be it.

Originally posted by @kellyjayIt isn't "beyond" me. I get what you are claiming. I am probing at your rather furtive way of expressing yourself which either points to a basic incoherence in what you are claiming or you don't really understand what you are saying.

Can you give a reason why “torture” is not a good adjective for being supernaturally kept from dying and being burnt alive with endless torment and gnashing of teeth for eternity?

What action do you believe your Christian God is going to take against your wickedness and "evil"?
Originally posted by @kellyjayI find it an endless source of amusement how you wait ages before posting, until I've actually posted a reply to you, and then you immediately post after me so you can demonstrate how you are ignoring me. 😵

Originally posted by @fmfThe Father sent the Son to become sin for us by taking on all of our sins, so He, not us, paid the price for our sins. In 30 years you learn nothing of this? He paid the price and without Him we stand before God guilty of every thing we have done, every evil word spoken, every thought and all those times that we should have done and said things and didn’t. 30 years man were you asleep in church the whole time?

Originally posted by @fmfKellyJay’s replies are generally a stream of platitudes and dogmatic churchy-speak which may, but usually does not, address the content of the post he is responding to. I think that he believes that in doing this he is somehow engaging in meaningful discourse.

Originally posted by @fmfWe are forgiven because of the actions God took, I suppose you are still blind to that!
