@divegeester saidOr is a self-centered man a micro-hell wandering proudly in everyone else's midst?
Your reluctance to reply unequivocally pleases me so I’ll keep asking…
Is the Lamb the ruler of hell?
Would you like mint sauce with that?

@ghost-of-a-duke saidActually there was a tradition of personal deification in pre-conciliar Christianity.
Let's be clear here. Sonship, for some time, has been drip feeding the notion into this forum that we are demi-gods, mingled with the divine. That we (Christians at least) have become God-ized.
A favourite scriptural reference he will pluck out is 'sons of God.' He will then use his favourite analogy. 'A son of a horse is a horse.'
When challenged about his be ...[text shortened]... reating demi-gods. A Christian's ultimate destiny, apparently, is to become a Persius or a Hercules.
Sorry that I don't have refs at hand, but on the other hand, whatever happened to panentheism?

@divegeester saidGod is the ruler over everything, no exceptions; you think someone else is in charge of heaven and hell that is not God? For crying out loud, dive, learn your native tongue, YES, everything includes hell.

@kellyjay saidFinally! Pity giving an unequivocal answer gets you so upset.

Anyway, so now that you have conceded that your version of Jesus is the ruler in the hell, a hell which he created and prepared for the billions and billions of non Christians; how do you reconcile that particular duty of the Son with a loving merciful Jesus who wept over the single human death of Lazarus?
@divegeester saidStill the huffy micro-petty self-important judge.

Dive, please stop skittering across the crust of manifestation and the possibilities of clever verbiage -- the Water is fine.

Who was it that prepared the eternal fire for the devil and his angels?
" . . . Go away from Me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels." (Matt. 25:41)
@sonship saidDive might be a self-important idiot, but who are you to quote whatever at him in such a controlling way?
