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!!!!!!
That is why our works come after our salvation.
We do good works as a result of being saved, not to get saved. Too many these days don't realize that
We do good works out of a love for who our god is.
