And your point is?

Heck, anyone can do a Bible search using “hell” but instead of shallowly reading the Scriptures and then ASSUMING what you’ve been taught about hell is correct, why don’t you actually THINK things through for a change?

1. Did Christ EVER give a literal interpretation to one of his parables? EVER? No. They always represented something. Why then ASSUME the story of Lazarus and the rich man’s hell is also literal?

2. Do you even know what the Hebrew and Greeks words for hell mean or where they come from? I suggest you first find out before displaying your great wisdom to the public.

3. How does eternal damnation square with a loving, righteous God? Everyone will condemn a human judge for handing down the death penalty for minor offenses like jay walking; how much more for a so-called loving, merciful, and just God? THINK! You’re turning God into a hideous monster!

Dang; I don't KNOW??

How does eternal bliss square with a wrathful God who wreaks vengeance on His enemies??
