Answer 1

Jesus only loves people who use proper spelling and grammar to argue in His name.

Answer 2

I read that book. Interesting story...crappy ending. Didn't really thing the author was all that sane, personally. But good luck anyway. It's nice to know there's someone out there quoting from it. It's so rare these days.

Answer 3

Dear Rodney,

If that's what you believe, that's your right. (Though it's difficult for many of us to understand your beliefs when you write ungrammatically and misuse punctuation.)

However, you must understand that there are many people who believe that humans wrote the Bible. Without evidence for the existance of God, that's the only logical explanation. Moreover, even if anyone could prove that God exists, which humans have failed to do ever since Theology was invented, you would still need to prove that the God actually divinely inspired a holy book and that that holy book was the Bible as opposed to the Quran, the Zend Avesta (the Zoroastrian holy book) or something else.

As far as Jesus is concerned, while there is a bit of evidence that such a person existed historically, and while he seems to have been a wise man, Christians have failed for over 2,000 years to prove that he's divine.

The logic is similar to trying to prove that flying pigs exist. If someone were to go around saying that flying pigs exist and and that anyone who didn't believe in flying pigs was going to be tortured forever, I think most people would find that idea ridiculous, don't you? That's how many people see fundamentalist Christianity.

Just for the record, I spoke with a bishop[1] of the Antioch line about Satan and Hell and he said that the concept of going to Hell is actually ABSENT from the Bible. Official church doctrine says that people's souls will merely be cease to be when they die, if they don't accept God and that those who accept God will enter the Kingdom. The concept of Satan as a fallen angel who is the archenemy of God actually comes from fiction writers like Milton and Dante, as opposed to the Bible. The Bible never specifies what is meant by "Satan" and the being referred to only shows up in the Book of Job and the Gospels.

In fact, according to Elaine Pagel, the Old Testament Hebrews used the word "satan" to refer to a class of angels that are responsible for doing things that God needs done, but that humans don't like, like causing people to die when it's their time. "Satan" just means "adversary" in Hebrew. If read in the original Hebrew, the Old Testament actually has many instances of the word "satan". Many of these refer to an angel sent by God to as an adversary against a particular mortal. But, most of these instances get translated as "adversary", while only the occurance of the word in the Book of Job and the Gospels are translated as if it's the name of a character.[2]

So, arguably, the Book of Job actually refers to merely a satan (an adversarial angel) making a bet with God and it is sort of an evil spirit referred to as an adversary who tempts Jesus. (In the Gospels, the term may just have been meant to refer to an evil spirit, because it was adversarial to Jesus.)

So, even if someone IS a Christian, Satan and Hell are really very small parts, if any parts at all, of Christian doctrine (or at least they should be). They're really just folklore that was created apart from the Bible.

Moreover, I, and many others besides me, find fundamentalism of all sorts to be a major problem in the world and a threat to American values. First of all, many of us find fundamentalists to be bullies, Sadists and abusers. They go around telling people that they're going to suffer eternally if we don't believe in something that sounds about as logical as saying that there are flying pigs and then don't give us any evidence for their claims, which, with all due respect, sound ridiculous. Many of us theorize that fundamentalists simply get Sadistic pleasure out of telling others that they'll suffer eternally. That's a form of abuse and I'd appreciate it if you fundamentalists stopped abusing and persecuting the rest of us.

Fundamentalist morals are built upon a card house of mythology. If others so much as breath on the mythology you claim as fact, your mythological card house crumbles and so do your morals. You abandon them and in their place you do things like kill people. This was true in the Inquisition, the Crusades and the Witch Craze. You think you can only be moral if your unverified myths are true and thirst for blood whenever anybody challenges them. Lest you think the days of the Inquisition and the like are gone, one group of fundamentalists have recently been going to the funerals of strangers and telling people at the funeral that their loved one is going to Hell. Worse yet, a fundamentalist "Christian" organization has recently released a video game that promotes murdering non-fundamentalists. Fundamentalists are even now trying their best to destroy the U.S. Constitution that our founders fought the revolution to establish. Fundamentalists are anti-American. They oppose freedom of religion and rule by the people and instead want their religion to rule. They're trying to legislate their religious beliefs, despite the fact that the First Amendment to the Constitution explicitly forbids this.

So, while you may mean well, fundamentalists are a threat to our nation, because they want to destroy its defining values, and a threat to the world because history has proven that they'll start killing people when their mythology is challenged.

Please stop abusing the rest of us.

Answer 4

Actually, there is nothing you or I can do about it. You are responsible for your own salvation.

How can anyone be in hell when satan is not even there yet.
People are dieing because the condition of this world is hell.

Answer 5

this is Y!Answers, not a place for evangelizing, punditry and harrassment of religion

hell is the division and delusions caused by quoting scriptures like this

I do not believe in a fiery eternal state of damnation created by some loving compassionate god

we create and believe in our own hell by ignoring those around you

Answer 6

I doubt any atheists will take this to heart(or actually read this). Prepare for some rude answers.

Answer 7

I shall repeat this.

This is Yahoo! Answers, not Yahoo! Evangelists.

Not everyone wants to subscribe to your silly superstitious myth just because you think Jesus is the greatest thing since Myspace.

Answer 8

Greetings to you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Keep sharing the Gospel!

God bless you and use you.

Answer 9

Proper spelling and grammar are a must if you wish to be taken seriously.

That said, you worry about your afterlife, and I'll worry about mine. Deal?

Answer 10

Keep up the good work and don't let peoples insults get to you.

There will always be scoffers just as Jesus said. But we cant let them get to us. You just keep doing what your doing and it "will" help some and for sure it will be accounted to you as righteousness.

Don't get discouraged, you will get a lot of insults . Just don't let them get to you.

Keep the faith....I will see you in Heaven
