I encourage everyone to have a relationship with Jesus Christ. There is value in the here and now.
Unlike your "pie in the sky when you die" religion.
who never HEARD the gospel . those who hear and reject are damned . Now preach JESUS and stop giving out false hope .

True.

Over 500 people saw the resurrected Jesus.
Some of them were standing on the shoreline, watching Jesus fly into the clouds when He returned to Glory, and we'll see Him arrive to get the "bride" the very same way, and we'll meet Him there.
No "trib" for the "Bride'.
no wrath from GOD for the bride . Yes indeed .

You are such a dishonest person, according to your posts...
= You say '""you encourage everyone to have a relationship with Jesus"".......yet your Gospel (Universalism) tells sinners that they dont have to believe in Jesus before they die, they dont have to be born again before they die....and if they believe you, they will die and go to Hell.
I've never said any such thing. You are the one being dishonest.

Hell is a very important "Christian" topic.
How do you know?
Its because Jesus shed His blood to keep us out of it.

You didnt know that @quietthinker ?

Now you do.

Have you ever heard this?..

"Jesus SAVES"?

Saves from What?

Saves you from HELL, if you will BELIEVE.

Also, Here is a reality check for you.
Of my over 360 Threads ive posted here, about 10 of them, deal with "Hell" as a topic.
As I said, HELL is your favourite subject!

What does the hell doctrine say about the character of God?​


What sort of monster would create such a thing? The most sadist tyrant imaginable.

How does it work and what is the purpose?
There is no purpose other than eternal torment on the grandest scale.
We have all experienced a burn at some point in our lives.

If we touch the stove. We immediately removed our hand,
And learned an important lesson. NEVER touch the stove.
How long did that take?

We are also familiar with the burn ward at the hospital.
Severe burn victims are treated there. Recovery is horrible.
Requiring skin grafts and a slow and painful healing process.

Yet no human has fallen into a volcano (lake of fire) and survived.
Is this what God has planned for those who refuse the free gift of eternal life?
Seems pretty harsh. Receive the free gift of eternal life, or if you prefer
you will be incinerated. That is one VERY expensive FREE GIFT.

Imagine being thrown into a volcano. What a horrible thing. But wait...
That's not the end. God has created this lake of fire so that you cannot die.
You will endure this torture for all eternity with no hope of escape.

Your flesh will be burned away only to be replaced with fresh flesh to be burned again and again.
Hard to imagine a more sadistic or cruel punishment for a temporal crime. Justice? Nope.

Couldn't this have been avoided with a simple discussion?
Ten seconds in hell would be enough for anyone to get the message.
St. Steven it is called perfect justice. The lake of fire was created for the devil and his angels. Man is an interloper there. We sinned. It caused Adam and Eve to get a sin nature which was passed on to all mankind. god is not obligated to save man just like He won't save Satan and hes rebels. He chose to pay the price of sin for us and all we have to do is accept Him. The prtoblem is not with god, but man.
