Many people lack understanding about this topic. As a result of this
they assume that God sends people to Hell. The fact however is
different. Here is how it is:
- Hell was not created for man. It was created for Satan and his angels.
- Man has a spirit that will continue to exist after his physical death.
- Man has sinned and hence his spirit cannot dwell with God after his physical death.
- It thus will have to be with Satan and his angels whom man had followed while he was in his physical life.
- Thus he will end up in hell.
- Since man has no way to escape from this, Jesus has provided us a way to escape from this situation.
- If you choose Jesus you can escape hell.
Semantics, the difference between sending someone to hell and allowing someone to go to hell is like arguing the difference between bacon & eggs and eggs & bacon. (1) Please present evidence to support your claim that we have a spirit and that it survives death. (2) If god created sin and gave man free will, please explain why he punishes us for his mistake. (3) Atheist do not believe in the devil so how can we be accused of following him (it?). (4) Hell is a christian concept; I'm not christian therefore I will not go there! (5) Only a small percentage of the population of the world accept Jesus, what happens to god fearing people that follow Vishna, Allah, or one of the 3,000 gods that exist or have existed in the minds of man? Presumably the billions of people that lived and died in the 10's of thousands of years before Jesus was supposedly born won't go to hell as the christians hadn't invented it yet. Your comments would be appreciated.
ReplyDeleteSending one to hell like your friend physically throwing you into a pit. Allowing one to go to hell is like your friend just standing and watching while you jump into the pit. But the reality is that your friend wants to prevent you but you do not want him around. You just push him aside and jump into the pit. Let me tell you that, that is what you are currently doing.
Delete1. Evidence for our Spirit
Everything does not work with the evidence first belief next model. You need to first believe and then you will have access to evidence. Why would that bother you? Because you have been taught that belief without evidence is an insult to your intelligence. That is simply not true.
2. God did not create sin and hence your question is invalid.
3. Atheism is a way of deception formed by the Devil right in the Garden of Eden. By following this world view you believing what the Devil has formed. You may not be aware of that but you are following the Devil if you are an atheist.
4. "Christian" is a term coined my man to refer to a particular group of people. So there is no sense in taking hell and calling it a christian idea and saying you will not go there.
5. Its is like this. We all are going to Hell because a we all are sinners. Jesus came to this world for us to give us a way of escape. So if you take that escape route, you can escape. All those who did not know Jesus or all those who lived before Jesus cannot use this escape route. God however will judge them according to their conscience. Have they obeyed their conscience and followed what is right if they have then they will be saved?
“GOD Does Not Send Anyone To Hell” “Hell was not created for man. It was created for Satan and his angels.” Change “Anyone” to “any man”.
ReplyDelete“Atheism is a way of deception formed by the Devil right in the Garden of Eden.” I thought he just proposed to eat some apples against God’s will. Hardly atheism. “By following this world view you believing what the Devil has formed. You may not be aware of that but you are following the Devil if you are an atheist.” Maybe I ask too much, but try to imagine there are other roads besides God and Devil. Otherwise what the point to have free will (to choose between God’s will and iternal suffering?).
“Man has sinned and hence his spirit cannot dwell with God after his physical death.” Why not? Arent God the one to create rules?
“First when man sinned we are all destined to hell.” I love this logic. God is God what’s more to say.
“Since man has no way to escape from this, Jesus has provided us a way to escape from this situation.” It’s more a question from me: I heard from one christian that before Jesus Jews were sacrificing birds, lambs etc to kind of “wash away their sins with blood of innocent animals”. Sounds nice, eh?
Do you know what a disguise is? It means to cover up something to look like something else that is unrecognizable. Well in the garden the Devil disguised atheism and you did not recognize it.
ReplyDeleteWhen the Devil asked Eve to eat the fruit he had told her something more. Have you read it? Here it is:
Eve said "God told us not to eat the fruit of that tree or even touch it; if we do, we will die." Then the devil replied "That's not true; you will not die."
He was calling God a lair. That is was atheists are doing now. But the devil continues to speak.
"God said that because he knows that when you eat it, you will be like God and know what is good and what is bad."
Did you get his plan? If not explain. These are the things in that sentence.
1. You will "know what is good and what is bad". In other words you will be the one who decides that.
2. When you are the one who decides on what is good and bad "you will be like God".
3. And that is how you should be so eat the fruit.
That is atheism. You are your own God. You decide what is good and what is bad and you don't want anyone else teaching you that. That idea was what Devil taught.
If you are an atheist you are following what the Devil taught. Only if you drop that teaching can you be saved.
