THERE IS NO DOWNSIDE TO LIVING YOUR LIFE AS A son OF GOD.

THERE IS NO DOWNSIDE TO LIVING YOUR LIFE AS A son OF GOD.

Would I have to be a total wanker like GISM?

GISM may be a wanker or a non-wanker, but he certainly has suspended his critical faculties.

Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. 4 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”

5 Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said to me, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.”

6 And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. 7 He who overcomes shall inherit all things,and I will be his God and he shall be My son. 8 But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”
revelation 21:2-8

“Behold, I make all things new.” , that's exactly what I say every morning on MY throne.

Let me get this straight. God will cease all suffering, then damn people who sinned? To eternal suffering?

I've mentioned in another thread how the whole thing reminds me of a battered wife with God beating on humans and saying "This is all your fault. I love you baby. Why do you make me hit you?"

 

[GISMYS]

YES!!! God will end all suffering for believers=his family,but sin loving God rejectors they and all evil will be cast into hell. your choice!

How did all the animals get fed? Why didn't the lions eat the antelope?

Floating around for 40 days without food probably wouldn't have been a good idea.

THINK!! Even if you has every answer to every silly questiom,would you not still be a blinded unbeliever??? believe in God,confessand repent of your sin,accept Jesus as your lord and savior and you will be a son of God with eternal life!!! all your choice!

How would the penguins survive? First, how would they get there? Did God send a plane? Plus, it's really hot in the Middle East. Did Noah put them in a place with lots of ice? Where was the ice? How would Noah keep it cold for the penguins?

Don't you think there might have been water leaking down in the bottom or the ark like all boats do? Some boats pump it out while others leave it there.

Truest analogy I've ever heard. Problem with this is there is no counseling to go to for getting away from God. Except maybe atheism.

But there shall be no mercy for those God did not save on that day. No further repentance from the God of mercy. Eternal damnation even after the damned truly regret their sins.

You would mean they regret they got caught. Nothing made them change their whole life. They didn't change for 80, 90, 100 years.

So they must suffer for eternity. The great gates of God's mercy are closed forever. Mercy becomes a myth. People are left to suffer forever with no chance for repentance. God casts them out, never to give them a second thought. He truly damns them, rejecting them from all creation. How then is God so supremely merciful?

You have plenty of time to think. Change now. Why not now? What is stopping you?
You want mercy? It is available now.

But if not now, why not in a million years? Why should they suffer eternally if they truly seek repentance?
And what of Buddhists, Hindus, etc.? All the religions who don't follow Jesus? Are they to be damned forever for doing as they were taught?

God draws a line.
There is right and wrong.
The definition of belief is really repentance. Refusing to believe and not repenting are really the same thing in my theology book.
If someone doesn't say they are sorry then the definition is what?
The conclusion I come to is that they are wrong.

Basically what I get is you are saying what other atheists are saying. You don't know so there is no reason to change.

If you want to know, call out on God and challenge Him to reveal Himself to you. Pray if He is real then ask Him to reveal Himself to you. Then you may very well know if you are willing to receive that knowledge.

God knows man's heart,no worries! no man will get a unfair judgment from God!!! So best you wise up!

Jesus already died on the cross naked with his shlong hanging out for my sins.

????.....everyone has the same chance for repentance......if you choose not to repent, you choose not to repent......

God's Word says, "AT THE ACCEPTABLE TIME I LISTENED TO YOU, AND ON THE DAY OF SALVATION I HELPED YOU." Behold, now is "THE ACCEPTABLE TIME," behold, now is "THE DAY OF SALVATION "--

Don't have to repent, Jesus already died on the cross for our sins.
