The hope in relief from the torture that your existence won't get wiped out.How can everlasting punishment breed hope ?
As if he regularly talks to mankind.God has given mankind thousands of years to quit hurting each other.
He made it known long ago that all men will be judged on their behavior.
It will be a surprise that you are wrong, and so was Augustine.Man's eternal suffering won't be a surprise to anyone.
You need a relevant verse for that statement. good luck.Man has made it known he will take his punishment for his disobedience of God.
None a mankind since Jesus the Messiah has had the God as their father and mentor, thus perfect obedience is impossible. Poor Job, and poor Jesus. All that was necessary.Thankfully, He also made the ways and means of perfect obedience to God available to men too.
That would be a false hope.The hope in relief from the torture that your existence won't get wiped out.
Often enough.As if he regularly talks to mankind.
Who cares about what I or Augustine says.It will be a surprise that you are wrong, and so was Augustine.
Isn't man aware of God's commands ?You need a relevant verse for that statement. good luck.
Wrong on both counts.None a mankind since Jesus the Messiah has had the God as their father and mentor, thus perfect obedience is impossible.
Not sure what that means ???Poor Job, and poor Jesus. All that was necessary.
Then it would be eventual nonexistence which is what Augustine thought it was, before the catholic church made his doctrine of original sin worse.That would be a false hope.
Just more of the misery of eternity in the lake of fire.
You don't know when the day of judgment happened.Often enough.
There will be no surprises on the day of judgement.
Or an everlasting chastisement. It is spelled singular and is plural in English. It is probably badly rendered.Who cares about what I or Augustine says.
Go by what God says..."And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal." (Matt 25:46)
Cain didn't have one.Isn't man aware of God's commands ?
Everyone has a God given conscience.
Why don't you go pray about it then? Tell me when you get a true answer without drugs, and that little voice in your head.Wrong on both counts.
God has made it possible to be reborn from His own seed, and He doesn't leave us alone in our voyage through new life.
God's gift of the Holy Ghost guides the submissive.
Not sure what that means ???
The breath that sins is the breath that dies. There is no such thing as a soul other than your breath. Reincarnation stems from the belief that the human breath is smart and forever.You need to save your soul that never dies. In order to save your never-dying soul, you need to believe in Jesus who died for you. They’re falling for it left and right.
Breath dies?The breath that sins is the breath that dies. There is no such thing as a soul other than your breath. Reincarnation stems from the belief that the human breath is smart and forever.
I don't think there will even be non-existence for anyone.Then it would be eventual nonexistence which is what Augustine thought it was, before the catholic church made his doctrine of original sin worse.
True.You don't know when the day of judgment happened.
As though there was a difference.Or an everlasting chastisement. It is spelled singular and is plural in English. It is probably badly rendered.
What makes you think that ?Cain didn't have one.
Why not just explain what you meant by..."Poor Job, and poor Jesus. All that was necessary." ?Why don't you go pray about it then? Tell me when you get a true answer without drugs, and that little voice in your head.
ψυχη psyche means breath in Greek. It is translated as soul. So basically, you haven't a clue that there is no such thing as the immortality of the soul.Breath dies?
I thought it was the man who was given breath dies.
I thought the man who was given breath became a living soul. And when the breath given to him leaves him he becomes a dead soul.
But I agree there is no such thing as an immortal soul. Unless he is given eternal life. That soul becomes immortal. The soul who is not given eternal life dies.ψυχη psyche means breath in Greek.

There is an everlasting chastisement would be a punishment that permanently corrects the misbehavior.As though there was a difference.
What would make you think otherwise?What makes you think that ?
He did?; Jesus raised his body out of death.
You can imagine that if you want, in relation to the "final" judgement.There is an everlasting chastisement would be a punishment that permanently corrects the misbehavior.
I asked first.What would make you think otherwise?
How does that stay on the topic at hand ?Seeing that Job had to suffer because his friends were lazy; it was the only possible way to embarrass them.
You've lost me...Being that people needed faith in the God's power; Jesus raised his body out of death.
Yep, The God of most Christians, where most are damned because he is just too good.You can imagine that if you want, in relation to the "final" judgement.
The people there won't be doing any "changing".
It doesn't matter, but Cain didn't know right from wrong. I can't help it, if he didn't know any better.I asked first.
All the pain, righteous people get from God is because they have to pick up the slack for others.How does that stay on the topic at hand ?
Pla……….to, you are the man!He did?
If it were me, I’d leave my dead body in the grave. That way I could be where I wasn’t.
Aliens are coming to take over the earth, get as many tattoos and piercings as you can, that way they’ll think you’re one of them.Yep, The God of most Christians, where most are damned because he is just too good.
