Billions upon billions of innocent people, past, present, future, and ~ we are assured ~forever, being tortured by fire as a punishment, suffering in excruciating agony ~ all for a thought crime. Has the human imagination ever been to a darker place than this? Thread 158731. Although "The Lake Of Fire" is one of Grampy Bobby's favourite topics, he ...[text shortened]... ly unavailable for comment, even though he has declared himself "immune to human criticism". 🙂

You even have difficulty communicating with some of your fellow Christians.

How does a believer in Christ become "an ex-Christian"?
-Removed-It's not symbolism to say that the dead, small and great, "stand before God".
It's not symbolism to say, "the dead were judged".
It's not symbolism to say, "...whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire."
It is real. As real as you and I are posting in this thread. What I quoted from revelation will happen.

Originally posted by KellyJayThe issue here is people being punished simply for not believing something. You cannot force people to believe something by threatening to burn them in a furnace for eternity. The billions of people who are supposedly burning in hell now and will be doing so forever, for simply not believing what you believe, are innocent of any 'crime' that warrants such a ludicrously unjust punishment.
If they are convicted of sin, they are not innocent people.
-Removed-Justice will be given to everyone, everyone will see all things that are
currently kept in the dark at this time. Those things we do in secret will
be brought out into the light, those things we paint to look one way
when they are really another will be on full display. No one will go to Hell
without good cause, you may dislike it, but that will change nothing.
Every idle word will be brought up and we will give an account.

Originally posted by KellyJayOn another thread you told me that you can sin and still avoid going to "hell" because Jesus has already "paid for your sins" and because you "have Jesus in your life". Can someone who does not believe in Jesus at all avoid going to "hell"?
Sin will be the cause, that is the only crime one is going to go to Hell
