And if you don't want to be upfront and honest about your persistent demands for an 'unequivocal statement', you don't need to.
But that's okay, because if you really need this spelled out for you I'm prepared to do so. I asked you how you could [b]not know where I stand and it didn't phase you, so let's see if this next set of questions can shed s ...[text shortened]... =======================================================================
Hello...yer Majeesty?[/b]
This is an Internet discussion board and this thread is about hell and eternal suffering - if you don't want to discuss this topic and share you views on it, which clearly you don't, then you don't have to post in this thread.

[b]Been there, done that...
Do you agree with sonship on this matter or do you hold a different view and if so what is it and why do you hold it?

It is my view that these Chrsirians are embarrassed by their stance on this topic and probably don't really want to believe it anyway but may have had it forced fed to them in earlier life by their religious authority figure. Others don't seem to have insufficient grasp on Biblical scripture which results in them swinging between differing opinions and being easily swayed by other Christian personalities with whom they identify as being within their online social in-group.
Would you agree with this observation or do you hold a different view, and if so why do you hold it?

Originally posted by divegeesterWhen Jesus has His angels cast the wicked into outer darknes or the Lake of Fire, He is done with them. He is not hanging around continually tormenting them as you seem to imply. Their torment is due to the fact that they have chosen not to believe in the light of Christ, but to be apart from him and His blessings, and there is no longer any chance of repentance available. Their choice is final and forever.
Of course if you don't want to discuss the teaching of eternal suffering and share your thoughts on it, you don't have to.
