‘Eternal suffering’ is nonsensical

Yes, let's hear this.

I'm excited that you'd think of a nickname for me.

Maybe I'll use it.

I doubt it.

No, I don't.

Could you please elaborate on the bigotry of the people and the way that we now have to engage the Bible.

By the standards of the current year, there wouldn't be a single passage that is now not needing to be totally decoded in a very creative way and it could he said that the Bible of God was then misinterpreted actively for the last thousands years. Why would God reveal his word in such a way?

Do you think the people, the places and the events in Jesus parables were literal?

Be careful what you wish for.

How about you answer my questions first. I'm curious how you keep yoir viewpoints together.

I've been very forthcoming aboit my beliefs. Now, let's get a better idea of how you manage to be a Christian But dismiss the words of Christ in more detail, as well as denounce everything as bigoted.

And let's hear my nickname!

I think it exposes what you said was a false comparison.

No, not at all. All you did was repeat your assertion that you think you are right to be superstitious in the way that you are, but framed it in a really rather weak attempted put down. What you suggested about my perspective applies to you too.

No. We are not talking about me, we are talking about my OP and how you reconcile it with scripture, about how you percieve parables of Jesus and interpret them literally.

Don’t try and move the goal posts, I’ve been here too long to fall for little distractions like that.

Actually, I think you are just deflecting.

10-20 pages ago I outlined why I felt the way that I did and why eternal suffering is within the Gospel. Correct?

You then said that I need to put it in terms of the John 3:16; I gave reasons and you offered up some faux moral outrage.

That led us to discussing how you do not believe that the other parts of the Bible, which I use, are in the right light and do not talk about actual things. Why? Because the crowd is ignorant.

I simply assert the veracity of the Bible and its teachings, that's all that I have done. If I were to talk about it again I would just be going in circles.

Now, you tell us, on the topic of eternal suffering, that the parables are not relevant and that leads us to the idea of what could be relevant about the Bible.

WHy don't you tell us what you believe.

It sounds like you aren't confident enough to have a conversation about it!

I am thinking the same about you. Take a look about halfway down page 29 of Thread 175773

There's also the question here on page 17 Thread 175672 ~ still unanswered. You seem to not have the confidence needed.

You’ll never come to know God unless you discard your foolish and unwarranted pride. Your pride won’t even allow you to acknowledge you’re mistaken about something; you just continue shoveling the same nonsense as if no one can discern what you’re doing.

Please do stop by and we can discuss it at length.

I hear what you say but maybe your belief system is sustained by "your foolish and unwarranted pride" too. Maybe you too are mistaken. Maybe you are "shovelling nonsense".Maybe it's not just me.
