That does not come from the scriptures,because Jesus forgives sinners (or un-Holy) and then everyone gets saved. Jesus said to "love thy enemy" and not to torture them in a hell fire. Quote:
Yes, Jesus paid the price in full for all sin for everyone. Forgive them even though they do not know what they are doing. Quote:
That is very true and correct.Jesus was the fulfillment of the salvation for all humanity. Quote:
There is much false teachings in religions but Christ did not preach a false teaching.Love thy enemy and not to torture them in hell fire, link HERE. Quote:
The problem with statements as above is that the poster gives no scripture and then demand the "common sense" be accepted.The scriptures teach that Christ paid the penalty for all of humanity and our human senses can not quite understand the absolute forgiveness of sins through unconditional love, but there it is indeed. Quote:
According to the Bible then after death is not the end of this life but the beginning of a new birth into the Kingdom of God.So on Judgement Day the murderer and rapist will still face down their own past sins in the "furnace of fire" and then they will see and will believe and then they will repent with "weaping and nashing of teeth" link HERE. Quote:
That is it.Quote:
This above is putting a condition when God gives unconditionally.Salvation is a free gift. If one had to pay for salvation by believing then it is not free and Christ did not pay in full - but Christ did pay in full. Unconditional love means no conditions - it is free to us receiving it. ![]() | ||||||||

the majority of the jews did not believe, those that did wrote the gospels to justify and propagate their position. Reading in the context of the times is important when trying to find the true meaning of ancient works. | |

As to context and times, that is the point. Total man throughout all times have rejected the authority of God and that is why we have religious threads to go back and forth on. Man always "propagates" his thinking. Godly men have "propagated" the word according to what the Spirit showed them and ungodly men have "propagated" their word according to what their spirit showed them. | |

Well I gave two text links in the previous post but this is my favorite link HERE.That says: EVERY knee shall bow and EVERY tongue shall confess. EVERYONE, see link above. But I must add that I am not saying there is "no hell" or "no Judgement". Those words are simply being mis-interpreted. So there is a hell but it just means the common grave or tomb for the dead bodies and not a place of torture. There is a Judgement and Judgement Day but it is not like human Judging in a Court of human laws. The Bible discription of Judgement is best given by the entire Bible Book of Judges where the Judges teach righteousness and that is what will happen on J-Day. The fire of torment in the Bible is a purifying fire that changes the sinner into a repentant disciple. Fire is a symbol of the holy spirit and of righteousness but not of torture, link HERE. ![]() | |

Every knee will TRULY bow and every tongue TRULY confess... how sad to do this after one dies instead of taking the blessing now and having the right to become children of God. [Your Scriptures listed in your messages did NOT say there is no hell (fire, weeping and gnashing of teeth) just said things we do as a result of believing in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of our life.) | |
