Originally posted by RJHindsOne of the rare occasions that I agree with you, in this specific part of your post anyway. Jesus did indeed raise the bar; he did so because he paid the price irrespective of where the bar is. In the OT the sacrifices even in their harshness were still a compromise by God in terms of righteousness. There is actually no need for hell after the atonement. This is the whole point of the gospel.
Notice that when Jesus said, "It has been said to them of old.......but I say unto you..." that He made the law more strict concerning the heart of the matter. For example, to lust after another women other than your wife is committing adultry in your heart.

"I would not be surprised"...and "perhaps" Aslan will return before Jesus...
I took you for granted as perhaps a evangelical who does not believe in eternal suffering punishment. Such do exist.
But by this last crack it seems perhaps your true colors are showing. The whole Gospel you consider poppycock? Am I wrong about you ?

In life I have of course discovered that I was wrong about many things.
Let's not chit chat one liners. Give me your substantive comment.
Right now I am interested if you really think the second coming of Christ is as comparableto Aslan the Lion entertainment.
Were you serious ?
If you were it might explain something I have been wondering about.

Finally, Jesus throughout his ministry fought against a literal interpretation of Scripture. (It has been said to them of old.......but I say unto you...)
His worst antagonists where always the literalists!
Why did Jesus say of the Old Testament "And Scripture cannot be broken." ? See John 10:35 .
If He downplayed literal interpretation why He say that?
English Standard Version
If he called them gods to whom the word of God came—and Scripture cannot be broken—
New American Standard Bible
"If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken),
King James Bible
If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
This better be good.

When Jesus "descended into hell", that was the end of hell!
He "set the captives free" and "led captivity captive".
No more hell.
And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
(Revelation 20:14 KJV)
Are you suggesting the second death has already occurred?
