This is a Bible discussion forum. If you want private conversations about a pressing theological question, you're kinda missing the point of this site.

I would suggest that if you worked at an upscale hotel that caters to the rich, you saw mostly a particular "kind" of rich people, the kind that throw their money away in a frivolous lifestyle while neglecting the poor. Jesus reminds us that Lazareth is at our very gate and hell awaits those...

Another butt hurt thread. This is so childish.

Now I'm further confused. Dispensationalist teaching is not at loggerheads with the belief that Christ will return, a belief that has unified all Christians for 2000 years. Christians believe that Christ came the first time as the Lamb slain for sinners, but he will come a second time as a...

Good point. I've heard a pastor say over and over again in his sermons, "Stay in your assigned seat!" God cannot cause us to grow if we keep fleeing every time it gets a little hot. I hope he/she changes his/her mind.

Forrest is not starting a riot. Now you take that back, Madad! :angry:

How do rich people think differently than us? A study a while back determined that those born into wealth are greatly dwarfed by those who had to work hard for it, meaning the majority of rich people had humble beginnings. So how do they think differently?

That's actually a reference to Purgatory, not hell. The two have nothing in common. Purgatory is a preparation for those destined for heaven, hell is for those eternally lost souls. And you missed the whole point of the OP. It isn't about whether hell is temporary or for eternity, it's...

Wait....which one of us is being self righteous? I can't tell. Buddhists actually deify statues, pray to them, and believe they can respond with blessings of good fortune. When you enter a Buddhist temple, the statues are front and center as seen in the picture. What's absurd is your idea...

My wife insists.

Not dead, just sleeping. What kind of Christian are you?? -_-

I thought that was the point of putting it on this section, so the mods will see it. One of them has already seen that trying to discuss anything with an evolutionist is like sweeping a dirt floor. If there's any time to consider a change, it's now.

Trying to understand the point of the OP. I guess I'm just thick.

Yes, it is a sidebar issue, but now that I think about it, Webers_Home is right. A question like that should have been answered quickly and competently if there were a qualified Bible study leader. The very fact it remained unresolved tells me that such leadership was lacking. That would be a...

Then I guess Muhammad is in hell, because he was whacked by a Jewish woman. Girl power!

The Bible says that those of us in Christ have been given "all things". It's why I'm amazed at how we bunker down and assume everything outside of our tiny little sphere belongs to Satan. It's ours for the taking. All of it.

One of his wives, a Jewish woman, gave him a slow working poison that killed him 3 years later. http://www.answering-islam.org/Silas/mo-death.htm

The tin foil question remains unresolved.... :(

Every time I hear about Muslims oppressing women, I'm reminded that Muhammad was whacked by one of his wives. Girl power!

Welcome. You'll love it here. Madad insists!
