 Quote From: ssword Hello ellfie, Of course everyone has their own beliefs, religions, and I'm not here to disrespect your beliefs or anyone elses. If you want to believe in whatever religion, go ahead.
I'm just testifying that it is *impossible* for the Bible to be false or mythical. I have carefully studied and analyzed the scriptures over and over again and can come to no other conclusion. The Bible is an extremely fascinating and deep book.
@elffie If people have warned you about hell you should take them very seriously before lightly brushing them off. You said you were not sure where people go when they die. Let's say that CountryCow and I are right. Wouldn't it be better to investigate whether or not its the truth now than before it's too late? After all if we are right... then hell is a very serious penalty.
@windydaze People may interpret the scriptures wrong but that is because they do not know how to study it. In order to come to correct interpretation you need to compare scripture with scripture. Many people have taken versus out of their appropriate context and formed entirely new doctrines which are absolutely foreign to the entire teaching of Biblical truth. The Bible is like a puzzle and when you begin to piece all the parts together you begin to see the big picture. Most of the scriptures are very direct and straight forward so it is very hard to misinterpret something. to our understanding of God. Something like Eschatology (the study of the end times) is highly debatable and the scriptures can sometimes be fuzzy with regard to these subjects. But when it comes to heaven/hell, Christ/devil and salvation these are not debatable since the Bible clearly teaches about them and their existence. mind and therefore zero chance it is some fake legend. I am 100% positive it was penned down by non other than God Himself. I didn't say that I was not sure where people go when they die, I said who really knows where they go when they die. I believe that when someone dies they go to a holding place, otherwise known as the summerland and wait until their soul is ready to enter the world again. This is otherwise known as reincarnation. Now, I know that you probably do not feel the same and that is fine. I don't think I did anything that would lead me to hell. And I don't think that the Bible is a legend as I also think that Jesus did live and is worth worship. The devil and hell are not part of my culture. I too am not here to disrespect your chosen path, but to let you know that not all people who do not have Jesus in their lives are bad or evil. Now, I know that you didn't say anything like that, I just thought I would throw that in. Have you studied other religions? I'm curious because they seem to have the same motto, don't do harm to others and you will get what you will in the end. The only difference is that my chosen path does not have someone telling me that I will spend eternity in hell for the things that I do that are not right in the eyes of one. "Harm none, do what ye will." I do want to thank you for listening and if you do have any questions about my path, please feel free to ask. |
