Let’s have some fun: What do you think atheists will be screaming when they are cast into the Lake of Fire?

Question

Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. From his presence earth and sky fled away, and no place was found for them. 12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done. 13 And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them, according to what they had done. 14 Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. 15 And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

—Revelation 20:9-15

Answer 1

You've almost convinced me to believe in God. Just a few more childish fantasy threats, and you'll have me for sure.

Do you have anything in that book about atheists being forced to watch the Icecapades?

Answer 2

Theophil, you are one of the reasons why I left the Christian faith. You are like so many other Christians that like to throw that none sense into other peoples faces. It's almost like you wish for some people to suffer and burn in hell.

I was a Christian for years until I decided to read and study outside the Christian box. If you truly study Christianity, its origin and progression through history as well as the bible you might come to realize that it is purely man made.

Remember just because the bible says something that in and of itself does not make it true. In fact, not all Christians see things alike or interpret the bible the same way you do. Christianity is a very arrogant religion. Many Christians feel that they are right and everyone else is wrong. That's pure arrogance.

No thanks I don't want to live under that condemning belief system anymore. I am truly reborn after dropping the baggage of Christianity. Go ahead and continue your condemnation of unbelievers if it makes you feel better.

"Let the one who does wrong, still do wrong; and let the one who is filthy, still be filthy; and let the one who is righteous, still practice righteousness; and let the one who is holy, still keep himself holy." Rev 22:11

"Behold I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to render every man according to what he has done." Rev 22:12

First of all Theophil it might seem from Revelations that one might as well continue doing what he/she has been doing. No need to change now. And Jesus said he is coming quickly. Guess what, he never came quickly. Those words were written two millenia ago. I don't call that quickly. Furthermore, Jesus said here that he will render to every man (nothing about women here) according to what he has done. Atheists do a lot of wonderful things to help out others. In fact, some studies by Barna Group show that Atheists contribute as much and in some cases more than do Christians. Atheists are as giving and in many cases more giving than Christians. Christians ought to get off their high horse and not be so judgmental.

Answer 3

Only those who have fallen and know not Jesus' teachings relish such a thought as "Let’s have some fun: What do you think atheists will be screaming when they are cast into the Lake of Fire?"

Answer 4

I believe the Lake of Fire is actually a knick knack shop at a windy seaside resort which sells fridge magnets and low-grade pottery to American tourists , no?

Answer 5

Yes I'm sure Jesus thinks that question is LOADS of fun. There really is no point in commenting on your scripture since the bible is moot. Therefore is the bible is moot..so is your question.

But lets have some fun shall we?

I wont be shouting anything but "what a loving god you are and f you"

Answer 6

How is that fun? Anyone who truly loves God and believes in His word only wants to keep others from going to hell. Scare tactics rarely work. Try having some compassion.

God loves you and wants you to live with Him forever. It doesn't matter what you've said or done. Seek Him, and you'll find Him. It hurts me to think about so many people living with such bitterness and dying without hope. Just ask God to show Himself to you and He will.

Answer 7

Sounds like that children's literature they used to hand out when I was a kid. Remember those little comic books?! Man, the sweet memories!

(ahhh, that's sarcasm. One of my cousins kids gave one of those little books to my kids and I threw it out. I want them to stay free. Not bound up in fear. Not learning to laugh at what they are taught to perceive as others doom).

Your religion doesn't reflect well on you, Mr life-of-the-party.

Now, see below how you scored on the test:

Explanation


If you checked one or more of the above items, you failed the test. Don't feel badly though, most people do fail. Most are to some degree "religious," but religions are nothing more than man-made attempts to reach God.

The real answer to how to get the Heaven is not found in some religious system or by man's self-righteousness. God has declared that "there is none righteous, no not one" (Rom. 3:10), "for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God" (Rom. 3:23).

Further, God's Word teaches that sin is a very serious matter. II Thessalonians 1:9 tells of "everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord." Anyone who is not found written in the book of life will be cast into the lake of fire (Rev. 20:15).

What can you do about your sin problem? Can you clean up your life, do good works and hope that in the end your good works will outweigh your bad works? NO!

Salvation does not come to those who work for it, but to those who cease from their own works, placing their trust exclusively in the Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 4:5 makes that point abundantly clear: "To him that worketh not, but believeth on Him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness."

In Ephesians 2:8 & 9 it is declared, "For by grace are ye saved through faith: and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works lest any man should boast."

The issue is not what you can do for God, but what God has done for you. "But God commendeth His love toward us in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Rom. 5:8). "He hath made Him [Jesus] to be sin for us, Who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him" (II Cor. 5:21).

You have no righteousness of your own. To have eternal life you must have the righteousness of God-which is made available to you as a gift from God through Jesus Christ.

What then is your responsibility? God has given you a free will to either accept or reject what He has done for you. To have God's righteousness, you must believe that "Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried; and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures" (I Cor. 15:3,4).

You personal responsibility to believe the gospel should be as we read of in Ephesians: "In Whom [the Lord Jesus Christ] ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of trtuh, the gospel of your salvation: in Whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with the holy Spirit of promise" (Eph. 1:13).

This seal is a guarantee that your salvation is eternal-you can never lose it (see Peh. 1:14, 4:30, II Cor. 1:22).

At this very moment you have the personal responsibility of making a decision. If you are convinced by God's Word, you can be saved right now: Simply make the decision in your heart to trust completely and exclusively in the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ as the total payment to God for your sins.

The moment you do, God will forgive you all your sins, give you His life and save you from spending eternity in the Lake of Fire.

Answer 9

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, do you know how many threats we have been sent, and how dissapointed you christians will be when there is no Afterlife? when will you religious people realize you all started as a cult, and will end as a cult.

EDIT

and yes, i TOO have read revelations, and i understand it, it means that christians will corrupt themselves, messengers will be sent to corrupt christians, and only 100,000 of 6.2 BILLION people will survive, that means everyone but one person in New York will die.

Thanks for your pessimistic veiws, you fanatical christian jesus-holic.

Answer 10

I thought christians were supposed to show love. Funny how some like to bring up the most awful parts of their holy book and use it as threats and degradation.
