"Finally, my brothers, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For our fight is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, and against spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your waist girded with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, having your feet fitted with the readiness of the gospel of peace, and above all, taking the shield of faith, with which you will be able to extinguish all the fiery arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Pray in the Spirit always with all kinds of prayer and supplication. To that end be alert with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints" (Eph. 6:10-18)

So I will clarify... yet again.

I do not, and will not, respect [b]YOUR BELIEFS
or the method [hidden] [blind faith] [/hidden] by which
you form your beliefs.

And I will not respect them because they are wrong, irrational, harmful, and even dangerous.

I believe we Christians feel the same about not respecting the blind faith beliefs of evolutionists and atheist, and at the same time respecting those persons right to believe as they choose as long as they do not put those beliefs in action to harm us. 😏

It is your sinful actions that make you deserving of Hell. It is not that you disagree with me. That could help though.

Not too many people say "I AM a person who believes in evolution".

It's why so many theists get it wrong, and try to work out how to build a

The atheist may not say that I am a person that believes in evolution, but if someone askes a person that claims to be an atheist if he believes in evolution, he will say yes, if he is honest about it.

Eternal separation from God results from choosing against rather than for the Person and Work of Jesus Christ. At the Great White Throne Judgment two books are opened: The Lamb's Book of Life and The Book of Deeds [Good Works]. Sin is never mentioned! Why not? Because Christ's substitutionary spiritual death satisfied the Father's Justice on behalf of mankind.

Like you say. I only notice a little speck of dust in mine.

Regardless of what your ideology of "eternal separation from God" just so happens to be or what RJHinds' ideology happens to be, the question here is do you agree or disagree with RJHinds' assertion that divegeester is "deserving of Hell"? RJHinds has stated his opinion of divegeester; can you not bring yourself to state unequivocally whether you agree with it or disagree with it? Do you think divegeester is "deserving of Hell"?

Grampy Bobby cannot bring himself to disagree with RJHinds' assertion that you are "deserving of Hell".

You infamously told me that even though I am a Christian, I "deserved to go to burn in hell" because I did not agree with you about the doctrine of eternal suffering in hell which you believe is a teaching of Jesus Christ.

I find your inability to disagree with Hinds, further revelation of your pinholed and misanthropic mind-set which underpins a somewhat condenmatory spiritual platform. Quoting scripture from your right hand while holding the flamethrower of hell in the other is not an endearing image.

Well, it is not my fault that you refuse to believe it. Blame yourself.

Blame myself for you telling a fellow Christian that they deserve to burn on hell for eternity for not beliveing in burning in hell for eternity?
