The White Throne

Drug induced dream - are you really going to hang your hat on it?

You may think it's a dream but one second after your last breath you'll be thinking different. God say's that every knee will bow and proclaim that He is Lord. That means you and all the other un-believers.

Okay, Bill's alter-ego.  Who is a non-believer?

I'm sorry, but the "White Throne" title conjured up an "auto mental picture" of a totally different throne.

Knock knock?  Reality here.

If one takes the books of the New Testament as historical (I do not) it was clear to writers that the second coming would happen during the apostle's lifetimes.

Notably: 

I bet he leaves the seat up, too. 

But the real question is, is there toilet paper in the afterlife?

If you think it's only non-believers that's going to be cast into that lake of fire, you need to read your Bible more.

Ya think?

Psychopaths have extremely inflated self-esteem. Their egocentricity is comparable to that of narcissists, and indeed it is occasionally hard to distinguish the two conditions from each other. They  see themselves as superior beings. They often appear arrogant, opinionated, domineering, and cocky. A psychopath always thinks he is the smartest person in the room and has no respect for the differing opinions of others.

uno,,,Do you even know what generation Luke is talking about????

No you don't. 

Doesn't matter, you will be preoccupied with the wailing and gnashing

of your own teeth.

Forget the rain, pray they ain't no Hell------------

invic, you do have a way of getting straight toi the point.

I'm still laughing. If you only knew this bird unoi.

Don't you two go and spoil Unob's knowledge of scripture with silly things such as facts or accurate interpretation and actual meaning of "this generation".  

Facts? LOL! Facts? Really?

Why is there always such an angry energy that comes off of all the religious threads?  And saying it all comes from "unbelievers" isn't true.  It's as if the topics bring out the need for so many to prove one thing or another.  Where is the love and peace in the threads?

Frog, the same reason you don't find "love" on the political sites. People have different opinions. Some claim ownership of a forum. "Discussions" get heated, then people get "personal", then some get "threatening" to others. Some can handle it, some can't. If you have "thin skin" none of these forums are the place to be.

Hmm, yes, people have different opinions, and it is wonderful to discuss and learn from each other.  It's isn't necessary to go past that phase of a discussion though....really it isn't.  Who learns or enjoys a discussion in a healthy way if the nastiness begins?

So the answer seems to be that those who insult, get personal, or threaten others get to own the forums?  What exactly does thin skin mean in this context then?  Would it mean that if it bothers me to see people hurling insults and trying to demean and threaten each other I have thin skin and don't belong in a religion forum?  Now isn't that ironic?

In some forums those who behave in those ways are banned or at least reminded to be civil...although in a religion forum one would think that would be a natural way to behave...but do you mean that here the accepted and encouraged way to interact is nastiness?  How sad....

I agree.  You won't find too much civility on a political site.  And that is why we are in such a sad state of existence in this country...in the world really.  If we can't discuss and negotiate what policies are in place that is bad enough, but it is established that the norm on a political site is nastiness.  Why would anyone be surprised that our leaders can't solve anything if no one can have a civil conversation?

And Paul certainly seem to suggest that dead people would simply remain dead.  It was the LIVE people who went to heaven.  I wonder when that changed?

TWO THOUSAND YEARS, you people have been waiting.  How deluded must one be to keep on waiting for some fictional dead guy to return from his sky palace?  GROW UP!

Why is there always such an angry energy that comes off of all the religious threads?  And saying it all comes from "unbelievers" isn't true.

Frog, you are obviously taking their anger "out of context."  The loving Christians simply appear to be angry but they are actually turning the other cheek by continuing to come back here to hurl insults and defend the words of their invisible man.

I hope that clears it up for you.
