A Christian missionary family sings about how undeserving they are of God’s love (Found at Stuff Fundies Like)
God loves us so much, he created us as miserable sinners deserving of hell.
Just kidding! It’s all a fairy story…

“If you believe in Jesus Christ Re-blog this . DON’T IGNORE THIS. the bible says if you deny Him, he will deny you in front of his father in the gates of heaven. this is the simplest test”
It’s certainly a simple test of stupidity.

There are 6 billion hearts around the world, as fast as a snap, Jesus could fill those empty hearts with His love. He is seriously and unimaginably great! :)
Says ignorant homophobe appreciatinglife… What kind of person is appreciatinglife if she thinks only Christians know love? What kind of love is that? And what happens to those who don’t love Jesus back? Are they damned in hell for all eternity?
For the past week or so, I’ve been absorbing as much I can about Harold Camping and his insane prediction that “Judgement Day” and the return of Jesus will take place on 21 May 2011.
It’s not just knowing the date of the rapture which sets him apart from other Fundamentalists.
For fifty years, Camping taught that “hell” was a place of eternal torment. From around November 2007, however, his position softened. He now teaches that come the end of the period of judgement, on 21 October 2011, the unsaved will be annihilated - and that hell therefore is not a place of eternal torment.
In contrast, those other noted internet loons Rapture Ready say:
“Hell is a place of constant agony and is set aside for Satan and all of those who reject Jesus Christ. No person on earth would willingly walk into hell. But, unfortunately, so many people are doing just that. In the face of truth and warnings, they continue to live in denial and are walking straight into Hell.”
The notion that “hell” is not eternal is not new. The “purgatory” taught by Catholicism (and semi-endorsed even by some evangelicals such as John Stackhouse) has long been taught as a way to escape the obvious moral horrors of “God” inflicting an eternal ultimate torment on non-believers irrespective of how well or badly they’ve lived their lives.
For Camping there is no purgatory. Non-Christians may live good and virtuous lives, but come the end of days their existence is wiped and forgotten.
All this appears to put Camping near the liberal end of Evangelical doctrine.
For Camping, there is no question of God’s killing of millions people a day between May and October 2011 being immoral. For him, everything including morality is a gift from god. God is free to let us live or kill us as He wishes.
God is also free, one assumes, to arbitrarily choose that only 200 million Christians will make it to the promised land of eternal salvation.
Everyone else is fucked.

@ovelyasadove … tell me more… you can comment on this post or email me.
If Hell is separation from Heaven, are we in hell now? That isn’t standard Christian doctrine. What else do you have to tell me?

Christians are not bothered in the least that they are risking Allah’s hell by not being Muslims. We all risk the hell of other religions. All I do is risk one more hell than what others do. Once I risk one hell they all look like nothing but empty threats.

Do you believe God wants mankind to be “saved” rather than “damned”? Do you believe God created mankind knowing in advance many, many more of us would be “damned” rather than “saved”?
