Going to Heaven or Hell

[Aaron.Walkhouse]

It's a fair discussion, so it belongs here.
Nobody's forcing you to discuss further.
Meanwhile, I'm running 2000+ torrents. ‌ ‌

Life is hell, love is heaven and death is purgatory.

[Aaron.Walkhouse]

Nice soundbite, but that's all it is. ‌ ‌

Purgatory is a man's unbiblical label applied to Hell, and no,
reciting chants in Hell won't earn brownie points in Heaven.

I wonder what it feels like to be thrown into a lake of fire; perhaps I can bring a bathing suit and dive into it.

Can't be worse than Washington DC traffic on a Friday after 3 PM. In fact, probably a lot better.

Heh, Or downtown Hartford, but I know from colleges, DC is the pits when it comes to traffic.
and that statement is not off topic posting.  "burning" in "an eternal flame" is the artsy fartsy part of the book, it's metaphoric and not what really happens IMHO.

I'm sorry if I missed something, or if something is redundant, I skimmed over your posts grabbing the pertinent info.....

IMHO lets say, you absolutely hate waiting in traffic, then that is your penance, waiting in traffic.. Our god does not want to hurt us at all. IF we needed to be taught a lesson. it would be in the way of more practical things.  Burning in fire, yeah I guess it hurts, but the body physically shuts off nerves... The nerves god made? do you think this makes sense?? no god is smarter, and he has a sense of humor.. He knows just how to get at you, and he will... Knowing all the time that if you weren't so bull hardheadedly stupid, you can think your way out of hell. We are all gods children, and god only makes perfection.. we are the dumb ones that don't realize what he has given us... If you literally think that hell is a guy with a tail that throws spears at you, then so be it. We al have a different version of hell.

And If We catch those dudes that threw the soda on you I will destroy them.

I have a feeling that this thread will be judged and thrown into the lake of the Void.

Guys, I came for an answer, maybe for a discussion too, but I would gladly part ways with this thread and go do some hellish pirating.

I guess I have to say it one more time. ACCORDING TO THE CHRISTIAN BIBLE, THE INSTANT A PERSON DIES, THEY ARE SENT TO EITHER HEAVEN OR HELL. I don't know how much clearer it can be. That is your ANSWER, Robertx.

I never denied that I got the answer, it's just that the thread has been a Bible-thumping contest since I got an answer.

[Aaron.Walkhouse]

There's the difference between discussion and Q&A forums.
Though you started a discussion you're not forced to participate.
Don't demand everyone else shut up once you've become bored. ‌ ‌

In other words, let the conversation die naturally instead of bumping it just to complain it's being bumped. ‌ ‌

If anyone wants a good, reliable bible try e-Sword.
There are torrents on TPB and the direct download is here: http://www.e-sword.net/downloads.html
I recommend older King James bibles [the default in e-Sword]
because they have the least amount of editorial meddling.

[RobertX]

Good idea.

Putting the aidz hammer down for a sec. I HAVE to ask, how can you answer that with SUCH certainty.

I say IMHO. There is a such thing as purgutory... You don't believe in that? Please explain why.

I believe purgutory is a logical answer to his question. The time immediately after you die, until you are chosen to go where you are going. I don't believe in hell, so purgatory is a better answer than hell.

Answer me that , or be banned to troll hell you rotten POS!!

Fair enough. I figured that since it was still open after so many comments having nothing to do with your question, it was pretty much anything goes.

But really, it should be closed.

See, that's why I had staying on topic. Technically, no it wandered off for a bit, but it's still on religion. This topic is much more interesting to read... I've been banned for off topic posting. but I was on the general thought, the essence of the thread. as long as we don't start talking about footbal or tv shows...

[Aaron.Walkhouse]

Purgatory is hell, renamed by Rome centuries after the bible was finished, in order to import yet another pagan doctrine from more ancient religions.
For the most part it was part of the typical dark ages scam where people were invited to pay to "rescue" deceased family members from damnation.
