Society & Culture - 5 December 2006

The devil will never "rule" hell. He will be down there suffering endlessly, in torment. He won't be comfortable, in the least bit. He won't "run" hell, either. Jesus Christ holds the keys to hell, which is what God created for the devil and his demons to spend eternity, suffering, as well as unsaved/lost souls.

Isn't it silly that so many people, most likely Non-Christians, assume that the devil "rules" hell? God rules all creation, the earth, Heaven, and Hell.

I have heard it said many times. "Christians leave us alone". Then why do you come to the R & S site. Why do you answer questions that Christians have stated "for Christians only". If you don't have religion why are you here. Christians love to fellowship with each other and it is clear that you don't enjoy our beliefs, so why not leave us to ourselves

I work as a telefundraiser. That means I call people and try to raise money for a non profit charity. I get paid minimum wage to sit there and do what the non profit charity can't get volunteers to do 6 days a week, 8 hours a day. The charity is a very legitimate one. It's nationally recognised. If it weren't for me and my coworkers, the charity wouldn't be able to help very many people.
What I don't understand is this... why are people so rude to me when I call ? I get hung up on by some before they even find out what I'm calling about. Or, I get hung up on during the middle of a sentence. Sometimes I even get called nasty names.
Why can't people at least be polite and say "I'm sorry. I'm just not interested in helping those people." or "Helping people just isn't my thing. Sorry." ?

I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your children." (Leviticus 26:22)

"The Lord commands: "... slay old men outright, young men and maidens, little children and women" (Ezechial 9:4-6)

"You will eat the fruit of the womb, the flesh of the sons and daughters the Lord your God has given you." (Deuteronomy 28:53)

The people of Samaria must bear their guilt, because they have rebelled against their God. They will fall by the sword; their little ones will be dashed to the ground, their women with child ripped open." (Hosea 13:16) (sounds like abortion was okay back then...well if it was your enemies women anyway)

Is this really the "word of God" or the cruel thoughts of Bronze age warriors?

At work everyone's doing Secret Santas, and my problem is that (because of personal financial problems) I don't have a penny to spend on anything. Even with my family we've decided not to share gifts this year because we really can't afford it.

The problem is that everyone at work is doing it, and they've already given me the person I'm supposed to buy a gift for. The expected price for a gift is $20! (which seems like a high price to pay for someone I'm not even close with).

What are some things I could give her, hopefully a little cheaper than 20 bucks, without looking stingy, and perhaps something that might look as if it could possibly be worth $20.

I've heard this expression often.
Now I'm wondering about it.
According to Christians, we all really deserve to go to hell and be tortured forever. So what kind of treatment would we NOT deserve?
So shouldn't Christians be careful to never say this statement anymore?

We tip them ALOT (or at least I do), whenever we are there. It doesn't matter who is working we are generous with all of them.

Christians say we are sinful by nature and deserving of hell. We were born that way. If we were born that way, then how is it our fault?

by, giving him the right to choose to get hit or not, and "sadly" watch as he gets mowed down by a 2 ton vehicle. What other loving parents feel the same amount of LOVE for their children as I do?

My friend is a Jehovah's Witness. She seems to be misguided about many things. She told me that calling God by the name God was impersonal. She also seemed to think other Christian denominations pray to Jesus.

I told her this wasn't so, that we also prayed to God; and that when we prayed, we didn't call Him "God", we called Him "Father". She said it was still wrong.

When the disciples asked Jesus to show them how to pray, He didn't start with, "Jehovah who is in heaven", He started with, "Our Father, who is in heaven." Even Jesus didn't use Jehovah when praying.

Please explain why you believe that only "Jehovah" should be used to reference God, when Jesus instructed us to pray "Our Father". I want to understand my new friend, but we are having problems that we may not be able to overcome.

Thanks.
