If it were false, it would still operate in a similar fashion as to what hysterical strength inhibitors do for us. Without the nerve blocks, our muscle will rip us apart. Throwing out God leads to the very real risk of people finding something else to Deify. Whether it be Race, culture, or Nation. When any stand as rivals to God, ruin follows. Whether it be ruin one's home, or worse, ones soul.

As Christians, we believe that living in sin is the being enslaved and in chains, and in Christ we are free

No its far to complicated for me too express at the moment

It has to do with my personal philosophy that I've developed after years

I'm quite proud of it

Anyway so whats the take on an eternity?

For me that's a big spooky that I just decided never to think about

You either spend it in Hell or with Jesus, what we do in this life decides which

I’ve heard of people who don’t study revelations because hell is to scary, but boy is there a lot In revelations tho.

If Jesus didn't come to earth to die on the cross, we'd all have no chance to not go to Hell

I'm not consumed by it. It I were to ponder where I'll end up, that is more time I invest in my own fears, instead of helping others or improving myself.

I dont care about hell or heaven or purgatory

*less* time, sorry.

Its eternity

What is purgatory?

HEAVEN
PURGATORY-preparing for heaven
HELL

Milk, purgatory is basically where lukewarm moral people end up.

Purgatory is a Catholic concept. A place where someone goes to pay for their sins to prepare for heaven

For a time, I should say.

But doesn’t god hate those who sit on the fence?

You wont find purgatory in the bible.

Purgatory is only taught by the Catholic church, so outside of Catholic beliefs, you won't find it anywhere in Christianity

Its not inaction that causes purgatory its simply a lack of enough wrong to go to hell so just repent for stuff

And I'm fine not believing in purgatory but cheese

Milk, Better to be one that is a fencesitter than a being driven by malice. But, I should elaborate, it is better to be a fencesitter, but never confuse "better" with best.

The best is to be a good person. Or at least pursue it with every fiber of your being.

But I think Paul says works without faith is dead

"There is non good but the Father" ~ Jesus Christ

If you have faith, you will act. They go hand in hand.

When I mean "good", I mean acting in a manner closest to Christ that you can manage. It will always, of course, pale in comparison, that I don't dispute.

Hey so if I'm correct 777 equals heaven 111 equals the holy trinity and 666 equals hell or the devil
You seeing what I'm seeing?

*Btw, for those wondering, that is Matthew 19:17*

I believe it isn’t 666 but 600, 60, and 6

Yeah, I understand, I was just wanting to clarify so no confusion happens

I can't do Christlike acts and think I did it on my own now can i? Christian doctrine states that all good comes from God and he shines out of us. It's similar to thinking that a mirror reflecting sunlight has its own separate illuminance, separate from the sun.

*this little light of mine, I'm going to let it shine*

Even so

Only through Him can good be a tangible, true thing. Otherwise, it's simply social conditioning spawned by a bunch of nameless Bronze Age Semitic goat herders.

Haha goat

God is GOAT!!!!!!!!

Deus GOAT!!!!!!
