If Jesus told you to give compassionate care to a young gay man dying of AIDS, would you
Define "compassionate care".
a. Do it because it would make Jesus happy?
b. Do it because Jesus will send you to Hell if you don't?
c. Not do it because the young man is going to Hell anyway?
d. Not do it because you don't do compassion.

The above situation actually happened to a rather conservative Christian author. The young man in question had heard all the threats of hellfire and damnation, and they just hardened his heart. Seeing Jesus's compassion through the actions one of His followers was different. The young man came to faith in Christ.
I would certainly advise him that gays will burn in Hell forever. Jesus said so. Now that's Christian compassion!

Define "compassionate care".
Taking him to medical appointments. Bringing meals for him. Running errands. Basic cleaning and simple home medical care. Listening to him when he's down and needs someone to talk to. Maybe pay a few of his bills. You know - "Good Samaritan" stuff.

It would make Jesus happy.

Scripture please.

Why don't you ask Jesus? He said it.

"They will be tormented day and night FOREVER ..."

I never said "burned up, destroyed". You did.

Of course. Jesus used EVERLASTING! Same Greek word of EVERLASTING life!

Don't forget the Devil.

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

Cease to exist applies to a manKIND of being.
A manKIND of being is Formed by God.
They are FORMED from dust.
It’s life IS Blood.
A soul (and it’s Life is blown into a Formed manKind of Being.
Body’s Shall die, return to dust.
Souls shall Continue Living, until God removes its Life (Gods breath)
Spirit of man is his Hearts true belief…
…body, soul, spirit (truth)… can all reject God, and be Lifeless and Destroyed.
…man WITH God, IN Christ…
Will be saved, keep life in his soul forever.
Will receive Gods Seed, to birth him a new spirit that will never die.
Will receive a new body, that will never die.


Gen 9:
[5] And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man.

Ezek 18:
[4] Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.

Matt 10:
[28] And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

They WHO are tormented FOREVER are THEY who are against God, but can never die…Fallen angels.

God does NOT save the soul or rebirth the spirit of a man AGAINST Him…
He removes the body’s Life- blood.
He removes the souls life—Gods Breath.
He never gives a man against Him “Gods Seed”

The man against God is completely Without Life (body, soul, spirit) and destroyed.

I have said that we should obey God's word, but no one can obey God's word completely. I say I am honest. But you think I'm defending the right to sin.
Yep, that's how it happens. And the ones who condemn you over your honesty, they just never seem to be so self-revelatory.

Much love!

Jesus is speaking directly to humans:

Matthew 25:41-46
41 Then He will also say to those on the left hand, 'Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels:

Who will receive the EXACT same punishment as Satan and his angels, the worst beings who ever lived.

Revelation 20:10
10 The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

I think the important thing is to realize the potential IS there and that we should stay in the game trying to reach that goal. Running the race and playing the game so as to try and WIN it.
Or, for me, it's more about this day, this hour. Yes, the race is life long, but I need to focus on my next footstep. My life is build of many moments, so I want this moment to be good.

Much love!

All who convince people that there is no eternal punishment in fire will have blood on their hands on Judgment Day.

Jack- doesn’t matter to me How long a fire lasts…

A lifeless body, lifeless soul thrown into that fire that lasts forever…
FEELS nothing, zip, nada.

You're playing word games.

"They will be TORMENTED day and night FOREVER"!

Jesus said so.

If Jesus told you to take care of a gay man with AIDS, would you be obedient?

Failure to love God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength and failure to love your neighbor as yourself is just as much a sin as having anal intercourse with another man.

Does everybody see how hard it is to be totally sinless?

All who fail to receive “spiritual UNDERSTANDING” of Gods Word… shall Try to Figure the understanding in their own Carnal Mind… and fail to understand the truth.

BECAUSE:

Rom 8;
[7] Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

BECAUSE:

1 Cor 2:
[14] But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

"spiritual UNDERSTANDING" / Translation: Reject what God says. Make up your own god.

I'll stick with the LITERAL Bible. It's the Roadmap to God.

I should ask you the same thing - why are YOU obsessed with gays?

Take a look at the story of Jesus and the rich young ruler in Matthew 19:16-30, Mark 10:17-31, and Luke 18:18-30. Obedience to God is a lot harder than he thought. This is why Jesus concluded, "With men this is impossible, but with God, all things are possible."

Then the question becomes, how do we work with God to make us truly obedient in this life? (Assuming you want to be truly obedient.)
