There's supposedly seven different Hells in Judaism. So there are presumably seven different correlating definitions of Hell in English, as well.

I have a family, and I technically have a home. I'm not sure about the third questions. We is a word that denotes the first person plural and is used to refer to a groupa in which the speaker is included. In this case, we refers to the people posting in shadowman's threads. Terrence, I highly...

Just because Jesus says something doesn't make it true. If he said God does not exist, it would not be true just because he said it. I do not doubt that there is a "hell," just that the torment is eternal for offenses committed in one life against an omnibenevolent being.

I think you are suffering from paranoid delusions. You have a schizoid personality right? Well, posting a bunch of threads on a message board is not going to help you, no matter what we say. Try not to give in to all that eternal damnation stuff, seeing as how it is unhealthy; also there's...

Are you talking about things I think I want, like a PS3 and an awesome car and a bunch of books, or what I really want? If the former, it wouldn't do anything for me except for a few seconds. As for the former, I don't think anyone could handle it.

Ray, the guy who wrote the articles. Faithfulservant, isn't hypocrisy a bad thing?

Well, I suppose on what you mean when you say Jesus. When I say Jesus, I mean the man made of flesh and blood, i.e. God incarnate. I wasn't saying that the Son did not exist before Creation.

But what is the relevance of that? Does he ever say that that is not the case?

There is a very distinct difference between scientific and sciency. They should have failed miserably because it's shoddy logic as well as sciency explanations. It's clever, but cleverness doesn't get you anywhere...at least not in my college.

So are you agreeing that Hell is not eternal? What do you mean about the pain and joy being in the mind though? Where does he say something contradicting this?

I hope they didn't really get an A. They should have failed miserably.

I remember reading that somewhere before.

Think of it as an inversion of that famous line: Better to reign in Hell, than serve in Heav'n. Then, don't think about it it at all. Terrence, I don't think Hell is in the middle of the earth because then Heaven would be the sky. When it is said Hell is below, I don't think it's supposed to be...

1. Hell is a realm of everlasting punishment and absolute separation from the omnipresent God. There's fire and gnashing of teeth, among other things. 2. Hell is not located inside the universe. 3. Hell is made of spiders and snails and puppy-dog tails. But seriously, seeeing how it is a...

That is also nasty. It's a good thing no one has done that though. I don't really want to get into the reincarnation thing, it's not like it's important anyway. Back on topic: I found this article/explanation of that quote about the lake of fire. Back when I first read this guy's stuff, I...

Man, for Christians, you guys sure can be nasty. What happened to all the love and understanding and whatnot? And the Bible is not God, it's a book and as such, it is subject to numerous interpretations. That said, was that quote about Hell literal? Does it make any sense for infinite...

Well, that's not really a religious thing, but which Lucifer do you mean? Also, what's the point of getting revenge on those guys? Is it only to make you feel better or is there some arcane purpose? Surely, they would have got what they deserved in the end. It still looks to me, that...

Yeah, I think I would just have to experience whatever it is. Intellect has failed, and for right now, that's all I got. Yes, I, me. It just bothers me that certain things are put forth as absolute doctrines, even though they are pragmatic instructions. But I suppose it would be pointless and...

Firstly, you're proposing that you have totally free will, which is preposterous. When it comes down to it, you are a slave to many different things and only feel that you are free. Secondly, this problem only arises if you think of time linearly. From an omniscient point of view, you have made...

Jesus is supposedly God incarnate, so there's no way he could have existed before Creation, seeing as there was no flesh to incarnate into. I'm pretty sure Jesus is God, but what that actually means is far beyond me.
