And what is this death? And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. (Daniel 12:2 ESV) • And [the wicked] will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life. (Matthew 25:46 ESV) •...

Exactly, he that doesn't believe is condemned and will suffer the consequences, that is, eternal separation from God's love. I shouldn't be speculating? Lol, I'm not speculating, I'm just repeating what the Word says. What I want is for everyone to repent and be saved and for hell to be empty...

Where does it say to baptize infants? It doesn't. In fact, it refers to all the Lord will call...how do you know if a specific infant is going to respond to God's call? You don't, until he is old enough to understand the gospel.

They all harmonize when understood correctly.

What bothers me isn't relevant. I'm not the judge.

According to what the Catholic church says, he's infallible on doctrine. That's not very narrow.

So the Pope isn't infallible? Good of you to confirm what we all already know.

Only if you don't follow God's Word.

Neither of those verses address the form of punishment.? Don't see how you think they help your interpretation.

Why would I want them to be punished for eternity? It's not me that is being sinned against. I don't think God has to torment the wicked, but they will be tormented, because being where God isn't, is to be where no good thing exists. And they can't be where God is, as sin can't exist there. And...

Do you know any sinless people? Yes, we are weak, in fact, we are to brag about our weakness. " these persons therefore, were highly honored, and were made great. This was not for their own sake, or for their own works, or for the righteousness which they wrought, but through the operation of...

What I want is irrelevant. What the Bible describes is some sort of Eternal punishment, not being burned up in five seconds.

And they shall go out and look on the dead bodies of the men who have rebelled against me. For their worm shall not die, their fire shall not be quenched, and they shall be an abhorrence to all flesh. And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life...

What God did is provide a way for us sinful human beings to be justified in spite of all our weakness. It's all by grace, not by my human effort, that I am saved and kept in Him.

First, being "proud" of what Christ does for us, is exactly what we should be doing. Did you think that I was boasting about my ability to remain saved? How silly would that be? I didn't save myself. “But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”...

So we are all damned? Not according to scripture. We can know with confidence that we will inherit eternal life.

Are you so sure it started there? What I find is those who claim sinlessness aren't sinless. So they divide sins into little categories, of ok sins and bad, or mortal sins. This way, they can believe they keep themselves righteous, instead of believing all their righteousness comes from Christ.

So, no hell in your theology?

7For we walk by faith, not by sight. 8We are confident, then, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord. It would be helpful if people explained what doctrine is they are promoting on these threads. Is it some kind of soul sleep?

I still haven't gotten an answer to this question: If you don't believe in heaven, what do you think happens to us after we physically die?
