If you're going to hell you're beyond help, which makes no sense when your God is omnipotent.
Also doesn't make any sense considering what you claimed to be the requirement of going there.
[quote]What of someone who never heard the word of god?
Thats the exception/crazy example that i was talking about. Its not my call.[/quote]
"After the priest got done telling the Eskimo about God the Eskimo turned and asked "would I go to hell if I never heard of any of this?" The priest said "No". The Eskimo replied "Then why did you tell me?"."
Ironically, many Native American religions were found to resemble Christianity.
Most Native American religions are pantheistic.
From wiki
"Pantheism is the view that the Universe (Nature) and God are identical. Pantheists thus do not believe in a personal, anthropomorphic or creator god."
Such hints of pantheism in Christianity are really more recent developments as science progressed forcing such a being to have to exist in such a way in order for people to continue to claim he does.
Really the idea of nature=God is more in line with pagan beliefs
How could they coPy the europeans, who they had never seen?
Easy they didn't.
Demons don't believe. They know.
Ah yes the whole knowledge is bad argument again.
Anyways, it couldn't be that they turned away from God. Angels have seen God so when they turn away from God, there is no going back.
Thinking about it the whole story of Satan contradicts the eternity of heaven. So if it's possible to turn away from heaven but not hell, this just makes it an even worse system.
If you turn back to God before you die, you'll be saved.
Why can't that work after I die?
I doubt that in every case of rebellion it is for a worthy cause. Besides, you apparently reject God, yet here you and other atheists debate on his character. It's like us talking about the morality of the tooth fairy.
If people surrounding me kept talking about the tooth fairy as being real, tried to use deceptive methods to get such unfounded ideas into schools and in laws, and went on about the bad stuff that will happen if I don't believe in the tooth fairy, your **** right I'd argue against it.
That's not really biblical, well it is in some books and not in others.
Got to like how the Bible nnneeevvveeerrr contradicts it self.
Yeah Jesus did. But Jesus is God.
Then why or even how could this happen?
Mark 15:34 (NIV)
And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?"--which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"
