Amazon 7 #101 July 27, 2014 CoreeceQuoteWell now.... there is a load of assumptions that are still clueless after all these years.... What assumptions? Over the years, you've expressed that your disdain for Christianity stems from your experience with various parochial schools and your abusive catholic step father... That is not worth any kind of response. Seriously Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh, so when you said: QuoteI used to say stupid shit like that back when Looney Tunes and Jon Lovitz formed my concept of hell before actually reading what scripture had to say about it, for myself. I assure you, it's nothing like what pop culture depicts it to be... ...you didn't intend to actually tell us when the Bible says about hell.

I'd still like to hear about the Biblical description of hell. I have always liked, Isaiah 66:24 “And they shall go forth and look Upon the corpses of the men Who have transgressed against Me. For their worm does not die, And their fire is not quenched. They shall be an abhorrence to all flesh.”Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

I was always under the impression that the modern conception of hell is not really described in the Bible, but based more on non-scriptural references like Dante's Inferno. By the way, I hope you haven't had any pork BBQ down there in Georgia.

I grow so weary explaining this adolescent maudlin remark over and over. But, here is the pertinent Scripture once again. Acts 10: Peter’s Vision 9 The next day, as they went on their journey and drew near the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray, about the sixth hour. 10 Then he became very hungry and wanted to eat; but while they made ready, he fell into a trance 11 and saw heaven opened and an object like a great sheet bound at the four corners, descending to him and let down to the earth. 12 In it were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, creeping things, and birds of the air. 13 And a voice came to him, “Rise, Peter; kill and eat.” 14 But Peter said, “Not so, Lord! For I have never eaten anything common or unclean.” 15 And a voice spoke to him again the second time, “What God has cleansed you must not call common.” 16 This was done three times. And the object was taken up into heaven again.Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

Southern_Man 0 #110 July 28, 2014 DanG Is that it? I was always under the impression that the modern conception of hell is not really described in the Bible, but based more on non-scriptural references like Dante's Inferno. True. There is not really any sort of systematic treatment of hell in the Bible, just bits and pieces that have been imaginatively interpreted. The main sources for a modern conception of hell are the Inferno and Paradise Lost."What if there were no hypothetical questions?" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DanG 1 #112 July 28, 2014 QuoteI grow so weary explaining this adolescent maudlin remark over and over. You couldn't be too weary. I think that's the first time you've ever posted that. It's funny that God called those animals unclean in the Old Testament, but chastised Peter for calling them unclean in the New. He also forgot to mention that shellfish were now okay, but I'm sure you have some justification for that, too. - Dan G Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
