The merciful choice for the unredeemed.

Eternity in Hell is not mercy.

for the unredeemed it is. Judgement Day will be more painful for the unredeemed than Hell

Nah

In fact - when Adam and Eve were standing before God after they ate the fruit - it was mercy that God clothed them and kicked them out

Evidently you've never been burned.

Evidently you've never been burned.

How do you know?

 

[Duckybill]

How do you know?

Then why do you say that being burned forever is God's mercy?

 

[aspen]

Then why do you say that being burned forever is God's mercy?

Because it is less painful than being in the presence of a Holy God. The pigs proved it.

So then, do you want God's mercy by sending you to burn in Hell forever?

Only if I am unredeemed. However, I have been justified and I am being sanctified so someday, I have hope that I will be worthy through the blood of Jesus to kneel at the throne of God as His adopted son.

You are being totally ridiculous. Hell is not God's mercy.

So you have decided to simply repeat this statement over and over again? Like a dog returning to his vomit? A fool repeating his folly?

If you really believe that eternity in Hell is God's mercy then I cannot take you seriously about anything.

So you cannot imagine how painful it would be to be in Holy God's presence unredeemed for eternity?




Hell is a mercy. Explain why the pigs chose Hell over life near Christ?

-- What tripe. The short time it is going to take for God to say to them, "Department from you cursed ones into everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels" is going to hurt... but not as bad as burning for all eternity ALONG WITH the memory of that encounter and the realization that they are damned for all eternity due to their own actions/inactions.

Interfaith dialog is impossible on this site.

-- Yes, when one of the faiths includes activities not supported by God or the scriptures or when an apologist is more concerned about gays rights to marry than ensuring they will not spend eternity in hell.

-- What a brutally ignorant thing to say.
The pigs didn't chose anything. The Demons inside the pigs didn't like their proximity and fled.

It's pretty bad when I have to hope you were just clueless and not intentionally trying to mislead.

There are a few words that are only used to talk down to people - 'tripe' is one of those words.


I see you have the Judgment all timed out......


I share Lewis' view about Hell.

-- Yes, when one of the faiths includes activities not supported by God or the scriptures or when an apologist is more concerned about gays rights to marry than ensuring they will not spend eternity in hell.

Well, I don't have a with your faith including activities not supported by God - I still want to talk. And regarding gay rights - I have been clear on my position - I simply want them to be able to share the same rights as all American citizens. No more. And my political views should not influence your opinion about my faith.

-- What a brutally ignorant thing to say.
The pigs didn't chose anything. The Demons inside the pigs didn't like their proximity and fled.

They asked Jesus for mercy and suggested the pigs and Jesus gave them permission to enter them.

Boy, tell me about it!
