Quote From: sswordCountrycow has a very good point. Unless you repent and turn from your sins you will
perish in hell and then you will see true evil. I apologize for turning this into a
religious discussion, however, I just thought I had to make a comment here.
I have studied the scriptures for a very long time now and one thing I can assure you
all is that the Bible is true and it is the word of God. For those that don't agree I
can come to a solid conclusion about you.
1. You are not truly seeking after God.
2. You have not read the Bible *and/or* understood it.
I have studied the scriptures very carefully and am 100% convinced that the writings
are divine in origin. This is the very basis for my faith in God and why I believe God
exists, otherwise I would be an athiest today. I know the scriptures like the back of
my hand and when you say the scriptures are not true you do not know what you say.
Yes there is payment to be made for sin and yes hell/eternal damnation is a reality
unless you come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. I know that hell and damnation
sound so negative and may seem like a mythical legend but it's an unfortunate reality.
It is a place of utter torment and everlasting destruction where the devil and his
demons will also dwell for eternity. It is a cursed place of no mercy, no hope, no
salvation and no rest day or night. Those that perish there will be utterly forsaken
forever. And I'm willing to make a bet that those who perish in hell would have wished
they had listened to all those "religious nuts" when they were walking on the earth.
Countrycow and like many other "religious people" warn you about this place so that you
won't have to go there. God uses us to knock on the door of your hearts and to draw
you to Him. God loves us and cares for us and this is why He sent Jesus to die for us.
He provides the gospel as a means to escape true justice, the wrath of a Holy Righteous
God. You have time while you are still alive to repent and turn away from your sins
and come to Jesus Christ. For every single sin from that small white lie to the mass
murder of thousands, there is payment that is due and it will be paid to the very last
penny when God balances the books of justice on Judgment Day.
We know and understand that this place of hell exists and it is the ultimate
neverending curse. You may think all this is a false myth but I guarantee you that you
will understand some day.
Hello, how are you? Let me just explain that I was not saying that countrycow was wrong, I was saying that there are many different ways to live your life, and not all of them are bad. About hell, I just thought she was a little overboard when it came to her writings. I'm sure that the Bible is the word of your God and that people who follow it have the right to as well as people who don't. Believe me, I have had people warn me about hell and I just didn't understand why they were so adament about it. Who knows where we go in the end, for no one is sure. All we can do is live our lives the best we can and treat people with respect and not harm each other and in the end we will get rewarded, not punished. No, I am not Christian, but I am religious. I may not be seeking your God, but I am seeking my God and Goddess. Paganism is an earth base religion in which we respect Mother Nature and everything in it. I would not call myself an atheist for I do believe in something. Others may not agree and that is fine, that is their opinion. Again, we all have different beliefs and reasons why we believe in what we believe.
