Will I really be smoking a turd in hell for questioning religious beliefs?

Question

I was told I would be doing that if I questioned things about religion.

Answer 1

your avitar looks like a vagina.

Answer 2

It is a good thing to check to see if what you are learning is from the bible and not from men. The bible does speak of one true faith so all the others must be false

Acts 17:11  Now the latter were more noble-minded than those in Thes·sa·lo·ni´ca, for they received the word with the greatest eagerness of mind, carefully examining the Scriptures daily as to whether these things were so.

Hell is not a place of fiery torment but is the common grave that we get buried in.

Hellfire is not in the bible.
Romans 6:23 For the wages sin pays is death, but the gift God gives is everlasting life by Christ Jesus our Lord.

death is the penalty of sin, not burning torment

Ecclesiastes 9:5 For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages, because the remembrance of them has been forgotten.

If you are unconscious how can you feel pain?

Answer 3

Whoever told you that is wrong! First of all what kind of a punishment is smoking a turd?

It is important to have a faith that is solid and that requires wrestling through tough questions and sincerely seeking answers.

It doesn't mean that one can't have a wrong heart in approaching these things (i've met people who came to church with their arms folded all ticked off and like i am not going to believe anything i hear)...

Ultimately the wrong belief can lead you to the wrong place. Questioning is not wrong...

Hope that helps,

Answer 4

I'm sure there are more reasons why you should be smoking turds in hell, not the least of which that is bound to be some nasty second-hand smoke that the rest of us don't want, but you'll just have to smoke them here I guess, since there is no hell. Just don't smoke them around me.

Answer 5

That is what religion is all about, making you scared for individual thinking.

You'll be just fine to think what you want. Even if religion is true, when you die, you can repent. Isn't that just perfect.

According to religion even Hitler can go to heaven if he repents when he died!!! So what ever you do, it can’t be that bad.

The only thing that's important is not necessarily be a religious person but to be a good person.

Answer 6

Hey, if you smoke now and the turd in hell has some benefit of tobacco, don't complain...But, if anything about religion is true and God is watching all of us all the time i doubt highly HE will follow or visit you in hell to make you smoke anything. and if it also has truth in it and the devil is watching you question religion, he is probably enjoying it and will give you wacky tobacky to smoke instead!

Answer 7

“Those Christians" haven't really STUDIED the Bible, sir. For one thing, the scriptures speak of 4 hells.

#1. Hades
#2. Gehenna
#3. Sheol
#4. The Lake of Fire

#1 HADES

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hades

The unseen world, translated hell in A.V., Matt. 11:23; 16:18; Luke 10:15; 16:23; Acts 2:27,31; Rev. 1:18; 6:8; 20:13,14. See Hell. Eventually, came to designate the abode of the dead.

#2 GEHENNA

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gehenna

Gehenna' is a word tracing to Greek, ultimately from Hebrew: גי(א)-הינום Gêhinnôm (also Gei ben-Hinnom (Hebrew: גיא בן הינום) meaning the Valley of Hinnom. The valley, which forms the southern border of ancient Jerusalem, is first mentioned in Joshua 15:8. Originally it referred to a garbage dump in a deep narrow valley right outside the walls of Jerusalem (in modern-day Israel) where fires were kept burning to consume the refuse and keep down the stench. It is also the location where bodies of executed criminals, or individuals denied a proper burial, would be dumped. Today, "Gehenna" is often used as a synonym for Hell.

#3. SHEOL

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheol

Sheol (שאול) is the Hebrew language word denoting the "abode of the dead"; the "underworld", "the common grave of mankind" or "pit". It is also transliterated Sheh-ole, in Strong's Hebrew and Greek Dictionaries and Strong's Concordances. In the Hebrew Bible it is portrayed as a comfortless place beneath the earth, beyond gates, where both the bad and the good, slave and king, pious and wicked must go after death to sleep in silence and oblivion in the dust. In some sources, for example in Deuteronomy 32:22, Sheol seems to be synonymous with the "depths of the earth". Sheol is sometimes compared to the gloomy, twilight afterlife of Hades or Tartarus from Greek mythology. Sheol is the common destination of both the righteous and the unrighteous dead; the righteous Job sees it as his destination (Job 3). In the Book of Job, while Satan is portrayed as tormenting and testing the living, he does not appear to have any particular presidency over Sheol, or to dwell in Sheol.

#4 The Lake of Fire (which means the 2nd death, the lake of fire)

See (The Book of Revelation 20:14) and also Acts Ch. 5, the story of Ananias & Sapphira sinning against the Holy Spirit.

Here we see in The Book of Revelation Ch. 20:14 where "Death & Hades" or both DEATH AND HELL are thrown into the Lake of Fire, THE 2ND DEATH, to be destroyed eternally it says HERE! So, we see that the Lake of Fire is Symbolic for ETERNAL DESTRUCTION. Much the same way Gehenna was for the destruction it caused! Nothing that goes in comes out. Ananias and Sapphira in Acts 5 are both eternally destroyed for sinning against the "holy ghost/spirit" for lying to it. So, much like before they were born, they are now, neither knowing anything nor suffering.

Answer 8

I think that God would want you to question your beliefs. Sometimes questioning your own beliefs can only make them stronger and can help a person to learn WHY they believe a certain thing. In that way you will be able to express your beliefs and practices better to other people.

Answer 9

You heard wrong! You will not go to hell just for the question on belief but if you have read the bible and do not continue to follow a belief of your own even. You will stand infront of GOD and then you can explain yourself to him!

Answer 10

Do not believe it.As a muslim,i could not find it in my holy Qur'an and hadith.But I found in hadith that someone who have often ask something which can be misled him/her is prohibited. because Allah hates someone who ask something several times.
Someone will go to hell if his/her bad doings more than his/her good doings.In hell he/she will be punished by very very hot water and very very hot iron and the highest temperature of burning satans and human beings.Islamic teaching do not tell the punishment by smoking a turd in hell.

Answer 11

I don't recall anything about having to be a turd. I've have heard allot about the burning and smoking
