I'll respond to this post again, so people will see that it is you who started (yet again), right out of the blue with the insulting and juvenile behavior
I haven't seen where you have once responded to the original post or the points I made clear and questions posed clearly to you . The last one concerning the relevance of Hell that you have been boring this thread with for weeks and months it seems .
I am sorry if you interpret my direct emphasis of the words spoken by Jesus himself as juvenile and insulting . Jesus spoke very clearly and to great length on the subject of the virtues of Hell and eternal damnation. You have worn on to great length here about this . My question was a simple one for you :
" So this fairytale belief you have in everlasting Hell makes you a more Virtuous man ? Humble ? Contemplative? Serene? Less plagued by avarice and greed ? Intellectually and emotionally whole ? A man of peace ? Imaginative and creative ? " Message 17073923
It is not hate towards your beliefs in any way that motivates me to try and uncover something besides weak evasions from you . I am intolerant of ignorance , I will admit . I see you responding to nothing whatsoever I posted to you , when any other Christian would have been happy to , and let his love for Jesus manifest and speak it simply and sincerely.
You have a problem proclaiming your love for Jesus in public ? And I have seen nothing even resembling a coherent answer for these very serious questions , you understand only as pure dogma without the slightest understanding it seems either spiritually or figuratively .
Reading them conjures up the image of someone who spits while they talk. I feel sorry for you.
My question concerning Hell above still stands before you to answer or no . I am quiet eloquent in person McRitchie, soft spoken and clear-eyed , but very intollerant of fundamentalist dogmatists that cannot even see the words written clearly before them spoken by their Master and see the limitations he himself put upon himself .
Jesus was ever consumed with a serious defect in character with his and your own childish belief in Hell and eternal damnation . This is evident in the Gospels and Christ was ever spitting and sputtering on with vindictive fury against those who would not believe in his preaching .
Sort of like you greg , but like father like son . No deeply profound human being , imo , would even dare to touch this absurd belief in the present , but you would ?
So back to your drawing board , Mcritchie ...try Greg , really try to see the direct question above to you framed repeatedly, and try to make a coherent answer this try . |
