Knowing and serving the Lord is more important than escaping hell

But then again that's HOW one escapes hell

Before long the devil will lead those teaching annihilationism to start posting how there no such thing as hell or explain how God causes people to cease to exist making hell a moot point.

It'll be quite the comedy show!

"Death" NEVER means 'cease to exist' in the Bible!

Is saving your own ass the most important thing in the world? If that’s what you’re all about, here’s what Jesus says:

35 For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel’s will find it. (Matthew 16:25)

Think about it.

How will burning in Hell FOREVER help anyone?

Think about it.
Why don't you tell us what Jesus said about Hell several times?

So I guess death must mean eternal life and fever doesn't qualify for sickness.
Well, Jesus called it EVERLASTING, so I'll believe Him.

Matthew 25:46
46 And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into everlasting life.

Jack, why don’t you tell us what Jesus meant by “Those who would save their own life will lose it”.

Do you understand what Jesus was saying in the parable of the Talents? Jesus isn’t looking for disciples who just want to keep out of the flames.

I’m not sure why I’m telling you this. I should just let you go on the way you’re going. Maybe it’s because I see too much of myself in you.

NOTHING!!!

I disagree. The glorification of God is far more important.

And the persistent slander of His character by attaching to His Name the notion of everlasting torment is why you cannot see this.

He is a rock;
What He does is right;
For all His ways are just;
A trustworthy and never deceiving God;
true and upright is He.
- Deut 32:4

It doesn't, that's why you don't want to go there

It's why teaching people annihilationism is heresy that leads some to not get born again believing the false doctrine that God will cause them to cease to exist.

Those teaching annihilationism claim Jesus Christ is a liar!

My question about Hell Fire is MUCH more important.
Do you understand what Jesus was saying in the parable of the Talents? Jesus isn’t looking for disciples who just want to keep out of the flames.
So you don't know what Jesus said about being tormented day and night FOREVER ... in Hell?
I’m not sure why I’m telling you this. I should just let you go on the way you’re going. Maybe it’s because I see too much of myself in you.
I'm pulling 'Christians' out of the Fire who don't believe in EVERLASTING fire!

Jude 1:22-23
22 And on some have compassion, making a distinction;
23 but others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire,

Jesus said it. Your problem is with Him.

God also said "sacrifice your child" to Abraham, "serve and pray for Babylon" to recently exiled Israelites, and "do it" after an Israelite commander inadvertantly offered to sacrifice his daughter to God for a victory in battle.

Do you really want to tell me you understand when you say "God torments forever all people who disagree with Him?"

It is only you who desires to see the unforgiven in your heart burn forever.

That is deplorable, and it is the justice of God that you remain blind to the truth for stubborn refusal to admit such an obvious lie.

So, you don't know what Jesus said about "the everlasting fire", Hell fire", the Furnace of fire", "the Lake of Fire"???

You better read the Bible!
