Can you believe that?
eternal damnation for faults committed during a single earthly existence?
That is not justice, it is put equal to the creator imperfect human beings.
some religions still need to impose the law of fear in people because of their ignorance and moral backwardness.

consistent with yourself.
you would like to see your mother or father going to hell as you go to heaven?
need to get out of the obscurity that has blinded mankind for 1200 years.

...you are comparing mans perverse sense of justice with Gods' perfect justice . It doesn't work that way , you have elevated yourself above the Almighty .

I do not do that.
the misinterpretation of scripture make people believe.
God is unconditional love and perfect, does not judge, does not condemn.
offers numerous opportunities for our moral and intellectual growth.

fail, pay, fail again, pay again, until the time comes to tire of suffering, then we seek our improvement.

is the way it goes in our lives with everyone.

...you have created what I call a " Chinese menu " religion borrowing from Buddhism , Spiritualism , Christianity and Gnosticism , choosing one from column A , two from column B , one from column C with a large side order of heterodoxy .

That is a good metaphor.

Don't need to since I'm intimately familiar with it. Just thought it was funny that you posted an incorrect version of it.

I guess mine is a Chinese Menu as well.

If you think you understand it then go right ahead and explain it to me in words that even I can understand.



Have you ever noticed that the Bible explains things in detail? Back from post #1 "conspiracy theorists usually have a very simple explanation."

I also listed a few examples where it does explain in detail. A lot of work was put into this book. Tell me, how far would you be willing to go to write a book for everyone, if it was a lie, to make sure everything made sense and written in detail?
Would you spend your whole lifetime trying to write this book?



So I take it you're one of those 5 billion people who won't listen until it is too late then? If you died today, where do you think you will end up?
The only 'mistake' I made in post 445 is not to say 'those' 5 billion people but instead, 'YOU' as a part of the 5 billion people.



Nope. Where is your faith?

a person goes where he chooses. asking a person if they died today is an illogical question because it doesn't include a story. no one dies without a story.

why did god make man for a time and then give up?

to be able to do that you have to tell me a bit about your mathematical knowledge - what do you know about the exponential function, ie e^x or exp(x), and/or power series?
