What good is it to know the gospel but then treat others like garbage?

[Eternally Grateful]

What is the purpose of putting souls through pain and anguish forever? Do you believe that God is eternally vengeful?

Again,

God did not do it, they did it to themselves.

They rejected gods offer of salvation. You can;t blame God.

 

[lforrest]

The entire purpose of him becoming God-in-the-flesh through Jesus was to save mankind, ALL mankind.

. Entire purpose? Not quite. There was also the matter of putting the prince of this world under foot.

 

[Patrick1966]

Why worry about being dammed to hell if it is just temporary?

That's like asking "Why worry about spending 50 years in solitary confinement?".

 

[Patrick1966]

God did not do it, they did it to themselves.

Revelation 20:15
Young's Literal Translation
​

15 and if any one was not found written in the scroll of the life, he was cast to the lake of the fire.

Nope, God "casts" them into the Lake of Fire.

 

[Patrick1966]

. Entire purpose? Not quite. There was also the matter of putting the prince of this world under foot.

That's part of the process but the purpose of Jesus coming to Earth is to save mankind. Also, Satan is doing exactly what God intended him to do

 

[Patrick1966]

They rejected gods offer of salvation. You can;t blame God.

You and I, unlike unbelievers, have been blessed with faith. 2 Corinthians 4:4 tells us that Satan has blinded many to the truth of God. God is not going to permit them to be lost forever.

If I spend 50 years in confinement then billions of years out. Thats not very bad

​

15 and if any one was not found written in the scroll of the life, he was cast to the lake of the fire.

Nope, God "casts" them into the Lake of Fire.

He paid their sin debt, they rejected him.

they sent themselves there. They could have been saved

so what sin ar you afraid to give up?

Romans 1 says no one has an excuse.

They are blinded by unbelief.

 

[Patrick1966]

What does this have to do with me? Conversely, do you live a sin-free life?

 

[Eternally Grateful]

What does this have to do with me? Conversely, do you live a sin-free life?

I am not worried about going to hell and making sure it is only for a short time

 

[Patrick1966]

If you say so, but I'm going to trust what God says, no offense.

2 Samuel 14:4 We must all die; we are like water spilled on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again. But God will not take away life, and he devises means so that the banished one will not remain an outcast.

But your not trusting what God says

God says they will be cast to the lake of fire. Forever and ever..

 

[Patrick1966]

God says they will be cast to the lake of fire. Forever and ever..

Can you give me God's word as in a verse instead of your word?

 

[Eternally Grateful]

Can you give me God's word as in a verse instead of your word?

Can you tell me why Christ died on the cross if all he had to do was send us to the lake of fire temporarily and we would all be saved?

 

[Patrick1966]

I take it that you're not going to share God's words but your own.

 

[Eternally Grateful]

You have been shown so many times I lost coun’t I am done showing the same verses over and over. And many others have shown you also.. If you will not believe it then, you won’t believe it if we do it again

Can you please answer my question.

I might as well be engaging with a Catholic or a Mormon since you don't want to use the scriptures to substantiate your position.

See post 34

Rev 20: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.

Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

1. Mark 9:43
   If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having two hands, to go to hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched—
   
   
2. Mark 9:45
   And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame, rather than having two feet, to be cast into hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched—

But you wont believe it, even though you were given these passages a few times


Now answer. Why did Jesus die if all he had to do was send people to hell for a short time and we would all be saved?
