I'm guessing it's easy enough to recognize parables and poetry, what do you think?

Name one. Good luck.

Your nasty jibes have no effect on me josehpw, but they will be having an effect on you.
So far you have demonstrated you don't believe what the Bible says, picking and choosing only those things that fit into your own paradigm. If you can't believe it, it must not be true. Kinda like an atheist.

You're obviously having difficulty finding just one example of an error or contradiction.

I don't disagree.
Originally posted by @divegeesterWould you classify the lake of fire, the screaming and gnashing of teeth and the worm that doesn't die as a parable, analogy, story, poem or song?

Originally posted by @dj2beckerI think divegeester probably thinks Jesus said those things just to scare people into believing in Him. 😛

Originally posted by @josephwFor the umpteenth time of asking, do you believe that there is a literal hell where Jesus will be torturing all the unsaved with flames for eternity?

Frame your question in such a way that reflects the narrative of the Word of God and I will gladly discuss the issue of eternal separation from the life of God.
Use any good translation. Quote the verse or verses related to the lake of fire, hell or Gehenna.
