Hey nsns, what exactly is it about God or Christianity that you don't like? Is it the idea of eternal torture in flames? Or just pretty much everything in general?
I really don't blame you if that's what it is, cause i prolly hate traditional Christians beliefs more than most. Not everyone believes the way they do, as a matter of fact not very many believe that the Scriptures do actually contain truly "good news".
Or is it simply you can't understand how peeps could believe in something that isn't real and provable? Well to me the Christian god isn't provable or real, but the One true God is both.To me the proof is all of creation, there is just no chance it all came about by chance or accident, its just too complex to not have a Creator. But that's just me, i've studied the science a bit to understand what is involved for life to happen in our vast and very old universe.
Im not trying to convert you or anyone, I couldnt even if i wanted to. I was just curious is all and just wanted you to know the traditional Christian view isn't the only view. As a matter of fact it is my very strong belief that if the Church teaches it, its probably a lie. They are all looking for the enemy from the outside never realizing he is much closer then they think.
Act 20:29 For I know this, that after my departure grievous wolves shall enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
Act 20:30 Also men shall arise from your own selves, speaking perverse things (i.e. eternal torture) in order to draw disciples away after them.
2Pe 2:1 But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who secretly will bring in destructive heresies (i.e. eternal torture), even denying the Master who bought them, bringing on themselves swift destruction.
I mean what is more "destructive" and "perverse" than eternal torture? Do they even think about how crazy and insane it really is?
Peace & Goodwill
