what I believe is inconsequential... why it upsets you so that I don't tell you is quite puzzling...

You DID tell us your belief, but you are not owning up to it.

How God will judge them I can only speculate upon....I do not, and will not, pretend to know the answer to their fate..

Once again, yes you do. You do so in the next paragraph:

...other than accepting Christ as one's saviour... I believe we are all condemned....

Now, if you believe we are all condemned as our default setting, and the Khmer victims were not Christian - then you must believe they're condemned. How can you maintain otherwise?

You appear to believe that actions can save your soul...or destroy it....Or you may be an atheist and you are attempting to goad me....

I don't know where you got either one of those from. I was asked earlier by another poster: "What do YOU think happens to babies who die before the age of reason?"

My reply in post #379 was:

"Same thing that happens to anyone who dies after the age of reason - whatever that is. My best guess is that there is a God, and a continuation of our consciousness."

You've asked me on several occasions whether I think those who don't accept Christ will "suffer in eternal torment?".

I've told you quite clearly that I have no idea what God's judgment will be....it will be His and His alone...

I believe we are all condemned due to our sinful nature....but I will not tell you what the penalty will be....only God knows...

It is up to you to decide which path you take....I believe, for those who accept God's grace, we are sparred this ultimate judgment due to Christ's sacrifice...that simple.

Christ made it very clear we, as humans, will never be able to understand God and the reality that surrounds him....we are like children in that respect....so I do not pretend to know what He will do at that time when we are called before him for judgement....I will rely on Christ to intervene on my behalf...that is what I beleive...that is my faith.

You have a choice....either believe Christ is the true and living God that secured salvation.....or don't.

My personal belief of what eternal suffering is irrelevant to this conversation....However, the worst "hell" that could fall upon me would be a complete and eternal separation from God....without him I would lose all hope...despair and misery would be my reality....I would rather have my entire existence, my soul, be destroyed than exist like that....

That would be my personal hell....is that what awaits all those who knowingly turn from God....I honestly can say I don't know....

Now, if you believe we are all condemned as our default setting, and the Khmer victims were not Christian - then you must believe they're condemned. How can you maintain otherwise?

As my statements indicate above....we are all condemend...not one of us, based on our own merits, is worthy of salvation without Christ...He is our redeemer and spares us from the final judgment...it is given to us freely through God's grace...

When accepting Christ as our Savior, we become one with Him...one with God....

For those who do not accept Christ, they are condemned to face God's judgment...they will be held accountable for their actions accoridng to God's law....their fate will be determined by God...whatever that may be....
