If I ever again ask whether 99% or more of the humanity will burn and rot in Hell forever, please understand one thing: I do not care how they got there.
Just curious about the size of Hell -- and perhaps also vaguely curious about the noise and stench that emanate from it.
So here's my question: What is the size of Hell? Also: Does God have any plans for mitigating the noise and stench that will emanate from it thoughout eternity?

Isaiah 64:6: All of us have become like one who is unclean,
and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags;
we all shrivel up like a leaf,
and like the wind our sins sweep us away.

In the Creed, we proclaim that Jesus Christ "will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead..." and "to save those who are eagerly waiting for Him" (Hebrews 9:28).
At His Second Coming, the good and the evil alike will be raised from the dead and judged by Christ: "...those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgement" (John 5:29)
When will christ come again?
Jesus never revealed the time of His Second Coming to us. He taught us, rather, to be vigilant and in a constant state of readiness. By faith we know that Christ's Second Coming - and our own resurrection - are certainties.

Surah 96. The Clot, Read!
1. Proclaim! (or read!) in the name of thy Lord and Cherisher, Who created-
2. Created man, out of a (mere) clot of congealed blood:
3. Proclaim! And thy Lord is Most Bountiful,-
4. He Who taught (the use of) the pen,-
5. Taught man that which he knew not.
6. Nay, but man doth transgress all bounds,
7. In that he looketh upon himself as self-sufficient.
8. Verily, to thy Lord is the return (of all).
9. Seest thou one who forbids-
10. A votary when he (turns) to pray?
11. Seest thou if he is on (the road of) Guidance?-
12. Or enjoins Righteousness?
13. Seest thou if he denies (Truth) and turns away?
14. Knoweth he not that Allah doth see?
15. Let him beware! If he desist not, We will drag him by the forelock,-
16. A lying, sinful forelock!
17. Then, let him call (for help) to his council (of comrades):
18. We will call on the angels of punishment (to deal with him)!
19. Day, heed him not: But bow down in adoration, and bring thyself the closer

That type of thinking scares me. Can someone please help me. I don't like all these humans thinking they come from God.
Can someone, and I mean someone prove to me that humans came from someone else other than God. Tell me the 100% truth.
There are a lot of humans online that thinks this, and a lot of humans in real life that thinks this. I need to know the truth.

Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen (Ephesians1:11).
Faith is the very foundation of our lives as Old Orthodox Christians. Without faith, God cannot fully reveal Himself to us through Jesus Christ.
Faith enables us to know God
It is the key to salvation

Rev 21:3,4 Which part of this scripture do you look forward to the most??? :)
3 With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his peoples. And God himself will be with them. 4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”
Which part do you look forward to in Pardise? I look forward to welcoming back our dead loved ones. Everytime we talk about it at the meetings I always get tears in my eyes, Imagine that time! Wow! Or, everyone being healthy! Can you imagine no pains?? Wow! What do you look forward to?

Prominent creation scientist Em Adjineri (say it out loud) has been studying pigs and discovered that they prove that evolution is false.
According to the Theory of Evolution, species adapt to their surroundings. This includes adapting to avoid predators. Pigs are slow animals and can't really run away from predators. If evolution were true, they would have a mechanism to avoid predators.
None of a pig's predators have wings. Therefore, the best mechanism to avoid predators would be for pigs to grow wings. That way, they could fly away from their predators.
Therefore, the only thing that could possibly prove that evolution is true is a pig that has evolved wings. According to Em Adjineri, creationists refuse to believe in evolution because pigs don't have wings.
Creationists will believe in evolution when pigs fly.

Or do you just see the bible telling history from ONE people's perspective?
In other words, do you acknowledge the facts that there were other people, civilizations BEFORE the Hebrew's historical/chronological story began and during there were other people, civilizations in parts of the world- Asia, Africa, Americas, Europe that they knew nothing of.
Do you also acknowledge that these people's experiences, social, cultural, spiritual are just as valid a picture and have you explored them (especially if you descended from those peoples like I did; my ancestors were probably Vikings) to see what you can glean from them?
Or have you taken biblical as the ONLY history of the world or the only one that matters to you?

One person claimed to have Christians "cornered".
He asked what happened to people who were born before Jesus. Will these people go to Hell?
If he actually read the Bible, he would know that the Old Testament talks about a savior coming. The Old Testament authors were clearly talking about Jesus, so they accepted him.
The next atheist argument is that if this is true, then that means only Jews in that lived before Jesus will go to Heaven. This doesn't seem fair when you think about all the people that never got to hear about Judaism.
The rebuttal to this is simple. The prophets tried to get people to worship God and only God, but many people refused and feel away into cults like the ones that worshipped Baal. Many people DID heart the truth.
As far as the ones who didn't, only God knows. We do not pretend to know every single answer.
Agree?

Ok, so i am second-generation Indian. My parents were immigrants from India, and although i was born here, i feel like i need to learn everything about my culture. For example, my parents tongue is urdu, and although i can speak it and understand it, im still not very fluent. And think about it, if i don't learn the language, my kids will grow up on english ONLY. So i need to learn how to speak urdu, learn to cook all those foods (tandoori chicken, naan, lol, yumm) and as dumb as it sounds.. I NEED TO LEARN HOW TO WEAR SLAWAAR-KAMEEZE BY MYSELF..but how?
Should i go back and live in India for a couple years of my life when i grow up, or just take urdu classes? I don't want to lose my culture. But, honestly speaking, how do i preserve it?
