Just Ask Grandpa - A Christian answers tough questions and debunks common myths
Way too many "delusional myths", and unanswered questions on this site. One cannot rationally disbelieve something unless they have a clear picture of what it is that they do not believe. Since I do not see these myths and false perceptions answered properly in terms of simple reasoning I shall attempt to do it myself.
Myth #1. God will burn "sinners" in "HELL" throughout the ceaseless ages of eternity. This is not supported in the bible. It is merely a false doctrine that entered the church during the dark ages. It has it's roots in paganism. Unfortunately most Christians still believe this myth. Ultimately those who choose to accept Gods gift of eternal life will go on to live forever in a world without all the suffering and horrors of this world. Those who do not accept His gift will cease to exist and have nothing to do with God as they have chosen and wished for. Sounds pretty fair to me!
If God were indeed to burn anybody throughout the ceaseless ages of eternity (including the devil) He would be the most terrible monster one could imagine. I myself would join the movement in defying and blasting God. Fortunately we have a loving creator God that will not and would not do that.
Rather than writing a 20 page study on the topic of death and hell, I will just give a website that those interested can visit that will clearly and definitively clear this myth up. It is hell truth.com.

You guess right. Yay, I found an honest christian ! Will you sign my bible ?
lol... Sure, shall I make it out to ebay?
an honest Christian is a real Christ follower, not just someone who claims to be as mentioned in the previous post. There are many out there..
Confusion sets in a little earlier. I appreciate the reply, but you got hold of the wrong end of the stick there. I was just apologising again for the nitpicking, and inviting you bible people (you, JC, JPTS and Grampy) to continue your discussion without interference from me.
Sorry for the misunderstanding... after years of being on this site, I find that I usually have to clarify or many assumptions end up being made. Didn't mean to do that to ya.
(I keep forgetting how bible talk is a serious hobby for some people. Not my thing, so I should butt out)
yea, I take it serious, but that doesn't mean I don't have fun with it. I'll know now you're not one to make erronius conclusions off of a non-specific statement.
Another good guess.
Hmmm...so if they hated the work and loved their neighbour, would that make it okay ? Meh, forget it. Let's meet up in another thread for that talk.
*waves and leaves*
lol, if they hated their work and loved their neighbor, they wouldn't be doing what they do in the first place. Simple
it was fun, c ya around.

You say the logic of God not knowing those other empires is defunct but can't (or have yet to) support it.
True they didn't fit the needs of the book of Daniel but neither does Rome (neither the Rome of antiquity nor the Rome you think is going to come out of modern Europe with the Pope as its head)

Well, they call themselves Christians, but they really aren't be it that the name Christian would suggest follower of Christ... but on that note, you and i have agreed on that point many times that many "Christians" aren't actually Christ followers. You're right, there is a huge difference.
