You insult an eternal God, and you think the insult is temporary, you commit a crime against an eternal God, and you think the crime is only temporary? Jesus said that we are condemned already in this life, being the only way to God anyone not going to God through Him is lost. It is a matter of not us reaching up to God to get right; it is a matter of God reaching down to us ...[text shortened]... do you ask for scripture? You pick and choose what scripture you find acceptable and deny the rest?
But you're still quoting scripture at me in other posts!
I won’t be defected by a flurry of faux righteous indignation KellyJay.

Do you have supporting scripture for your claim that sins are eternal or not? Because I think you made it up and are now desperately trying to back away from it.

Isn't the "insult" of non-belief gone once the non-believer dies?
Or if, having died and encountered the Christian God as he metes out the torment, the non-believer becomes a former non-believer, doesn't the "insult" of non-belief end right there?

I have and will quote scripture to you, but why do you ask for something that doesn't mean anything to you, accept as you like it, and agree with it or not? You already stated that no matter what is said, you will not change your mind, so why do you ask for scripture for points you will not alter your views over even if given?

Well quote it now then, instead of running away from what you asserted. You are still quoting scripture at me in other posts!

Your dishonesty never fails to disappoint me and undermine your witness and message.

I said that there was nothing you could say which would change my mind on eternal suffering.

You can change my mind on “eternal sins” but not with another one of your off topic trademark furball text blocks talking about life in the spirit, walking with Jesus, eternal love, sins and redemption or whatever you use to try to deflect from a laser focused question.

You said you ignore scripture did you not like, or agree with. I am not making that up, if you can just ignore it why do ask for something that carries no weight with you?

No I didn’t, you’re misrepresenting me.

But I’m not ignoring what you claimed, I’m addressing it KellyJay.

If you aren’t able to scripturally defend your assertions when you claim that everything you do assert is based on scripture, then, as I said… you’re making it up.

When your life is judged everything done, every word spoken will be brought to light.

Only if you want me to apologise for saying you made up that people’s sins are eternal.

(And we aren’t talking about the one named sin of blasphemy against the holy spirt)

No, because without faith it is impossible to please God.

“But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”

(Hebrews 11:6)
