He's got a big heart (Ro 5:8)."Why would God need a hell, when he has a heart?"
:yawn: Ac 20:20"Those who believe in hell have no heart."
You have a misunderstanding of the law of karma, apparently....since it doesn't seek out evil, but is an impersonal law governing all cause/effect relationships, actions and consequences. 'Karma' simply means 'action' which includes all its effects.
not about karma its about sinDo not be deceived, God(law) is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. - Gal. 6:7
clearly not happening anywhereThis is universal law. Action-sequence-consequence. Yes, this law evens out all scores, in perfect measure, in rightful proportion, it is equitable, wholly fair, the natural course of movement and its effects.
karma is a lieOne only reaps what he sows, and no less or more, so is responsible only for that measure, which is measured back to him. The 'law of compensation' is wholly proportionate, never excessive as in the horrid doctrine of
The 'child of hell' referred to is anyone who doesn't have a grasp of revelation Truth. Those who deny the Bible-based Truth of hell and / or universalists fall into the category of 'twice the Child of Hell'.
If you fail to warn the sinnerman to turn from his sin and he does not turn God will require it at your hands.
Some smart folks on this thread, but we prefer the simplicity of God's word. God's word did not lie about salvation, we do not expect what God says about the fate of the wicked to be a lie either.
The gospel we preach turns nobody away...you preach hell more than we do, your whole life seems taken up with it. The more you try to deny it, the more it shows that it is in the bible.
Horse-feathers! Demons were NOT created to be demons. Every intelligent being that God made was given the privilege of FREE WILL. Certain angels that had been good decided to leave heaven and come down to Earth to have sex with human women. When they chose to rebel, they BECAME demons.
"The sons of God [angels] saw that the daughters of men were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose." (Genesis 6:2, NASB)
Jesus was made alive in the spirit, "in which also he went and made proclamation to the spirits [the demons] now in prison, who once were disobedient...in the days of Noah, during the construction of the ark." (I Peter 3:19,20, NASB)
"For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into [Tartarus] and committed them to pits of darkness, reserved for judgment; and did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah...with 7 others, when He brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly...." (2 Peter 2:4,5, NASB)
"And angels who did not keep their own domain, but abandoned their proper abode, He has kept in eternal bonds under darkness for the judgment of the great day." (Jude 6, NASB)
Fallen angels. Demons.
:nono:
examples of spiritually dead
Mat_8:22 And Jesus said to him, "Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead."
Eph_2:1 And you were dead in the trespasses and sins
I can't even get Mickiel to discuss something with me that HE brought up. So much for meaningful discussions.
Why would God need a place like this traditional eternal hell? Why would he co-exist with such a place in eternity? Does God need a garbage dump for humans? How and when did the grave become the traditional explination of hell?
God doesn't and he made no such thing.
Romans 6:23 The wages of sin is death, not eternal torment
John 3:16
All are dead because of sin.
If we choose God, get saved, Romans 10:9-10, then we have eternal life.
Rom. 2:5–8"If God was counting up our sins, or keeping tab of them, we would be in trouble..."
"Ps 130:3 shouldest mark—or, “take strict account” (Job 10:14; 14:16), implying a confession of the existence of sin.[Ps. 130:3]
Why would God need a hell, when he had all the time in eternity to figure out a way to save all of humanity before he made them?
[Why would God need a hell?] God doesn't...
Salvation is not a choice, its a destiny.
