There is a discussion going on somewhere on this blog. Our interlocutor has made a comment that I think deserves special treatment.
Hell does exist. Jesus spoke about Hell quite often. Why don’t you want Hell to exist?
If there is no Hell, then what is the point of judgement day? What is the point of working out your salvation with fear and trembling? What is the point of good and wrong, if there is no hell?
You are saying that he’ll doesn’t exist, because you don’t want to go there. But by your closing your eyes from the sun, will it make the sun stop shining?
Hell existed to Jesus….because he spoke of hell many times. Not just words but stories. For every word and action, you shall give account.
Romeo believes there is a judgement day. Hell has to exist. No hell, judgement is in vain. I think this is brilliant.
“working out your salvation with fear and trembling?”
But in his own words his god is 100% love and good. Why the fear and trembling? I don’t fear god because the god I know is 100% good and love. So there is nothing to fear and no reason to tremble.

Do you even know what fear im the Bible means?!
Fear: ‘Regard (God) with reverence and awe.”
I say just what Jesus said: “Aren’t you the teacher of Israel, and yet you don’t understand these things?!
What kind of teacher are you, I’d you don’t even know what “Fear of God” is?!
So once again, if you say that you follow the Torah, then why don’t you follow everything it says? Your gay…and do you know what the Torah says about gay people, do you?! The Torah says to stone gay people to death. Why don’t you fulfill the whole Torah, instead of just the word “Shoel”?
You see, if you say that the Torah is the only true word of God, then don’t we have to follow everything? Now, if your not following everything in the Torah, then isn’t the Torah not the only true book of God? Since you talk about Love, were do you see love in the Torah? Do you knit know that Love is only found in the New Testament?! Well, you wouldn’t know that, because you reject the New Testament! So, why on earth are you talking about Love? If I accept the whole Bible (Including the New Testament) then only I can talk about Love. You can’t, because you reject Love.
So, what do you know….besides pervert in the Bible?
This is what needs to be done to you (Jesus’ words):
Mt 18:6, “But whoever offends one of these little ones which believe in Me, it would be better for him that a millstone were hanged around his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.”

She should learn the definition of the words: “God’s Holy Word”.
I suggest she does more research on it and stops perverting the Bible and teaching false doctrine.
She clearly doesnt understand what “Judgement day” means. She doesn’t understand what “You’ll be accountable for every good or bad deed that you do”, means. She clearly has no understanding in the Word of God.
I suggest she repents and finds God. If she doesn’t accept my words, they will stand before her face on judgement day as a reminder…and boy would I not want to see her face then. It’ll be too late then.

Well, what I’m saying is that If the Torah has more weight than the NT, then she has no right to talk about love. Because, the Torah mentions nothing on Love. And if the Torah is more correct than the NT, then wouldn’t Michelle have to fulfill the whole Torah, instead of just select things?! Now, why doesn’t she do that?! You see, she even uses the NT as a reference. She even quotes scripture from the NT.
So, there are two options here:
1. Michelle has to either fulfill ALL of the Torah (Including the stoning people to death part)
2. Michelle cherry picks the Bible and accepts only that what sounds good to her ears. And we know what the Bible says about perverting the Bible, don’t we? She is wrong about the Torah being the only original and true book. It’s a straight up lie!!
She doesn’t like the idea of Everlasting burning fire Hell, because she has sins that are worthy enough for hell. She doesn’t like that, so she closes her ears to the sound of hell. She comforts herself and her wicked behavior with the idea that hell is just a grave. But, if you close your ears from danger, will that save you from the danger, or just make it worse?!
No matter how hard she tries to close her ears about the subject of hell being a tormenting fire, it’ll still keep burning; only making it worse.
Now to make it even worse, she teaches others this garbage too! And we know what Jesus said about people who do this, don’t we?
Jesus said that it’s better to tie a heavy stone around her neck and throw her into the ocean. That’s what needs to be done.
She can reject this truth how hard she wants to, but I sure wouldn’t want to see her expression on judgement day when she stands before the Lord. The Lord would ask her to give account for every word that she perverted from His Holy Word. What would she say?!

My god is truly all about love. I merely point out the STUPIDITY of Christians who don;t understand how STUPID they can be. The Torah IS the old testament. Do you understand that?
If the Torah CLEARLY says “GRAVE” then is mistranslated to “HELL” and Christians like you simply accept the mistranslation but hold fast that this is 100% the word of god and fail to see mans hands in screwing up that word. You are simply stupid.
You make assumptions that you’ve not a single clue about. What is most ashamed is I a non-Christian know YOUR bible infinitely better than you.
1 John Chapter 1
8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
You are making god a liar by claiming no sin and by judging me as going to hell you are usurping god’s sovereign role. For I say to you no one can judge but the almighty father.
Lame dude try again. You have judged guilt where you can’t prove guilt, you assume where you should not and you are a fool to think my sins are > yours.

4) The Torah says Shoel and the Greeks used the word Hades which became hell and that there is no biblical significance to to hell nor is it even biblical
5) If the written Torah which is unchanged can be mistranslated then why couldn’t Jesus’s own hebrew words have been also similarly mistranslated

If you reject Jesus, you reject the Father.
Rev 3:18-19, “I counsel you to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that you may be rich; and white raiment, that you may be clothed, and that the shame of your nakedness do not appear; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and REPENT.”
Lk 13:5, “If you don’t REPENT, you shall all likewise perish.”
1Cor 6:9-10, “Know you not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortionists, shall inherit the kingdom of God.”
READ THE WHOLE CONTEXT, FOR HEAVENS SAKE:
Rom 3:23, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.”
Now, you reject Jesus….so, your still in sin. I don’t accept Jesus, therefore He has justified me. Now, if you don’t repent, you still have sin in you.
Do you know what the Bible says about Being gay do you?
Rom 1:26-32, “For this cause God gave them up to vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are WORTHY OF DEATH, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.”
Now talking about judging:
1Cor 11:31, “For if we would judge ourselves, we won’t be judged.”
So, if you are committing sin…are you going to make it to heaven?!
Do you see how you change your words?! Didn’t you say that the Old Testament is not the Torah the first time? And now you say that it’s the same thing, aren’t you?
But, let’s just use your words for our purpose, shall we?
Since the Torah is the OT, then the NT is also true. Now if the NT is true, then all of is true….including Hell being an everlasting fire.
Do you see your stupidity?! You get the word grave from the Torah and compare it to the NT. But, your not even sure about your opinion on the Torah being the true original texting, is true! So, if your not even sure about your own decisions, how can you trust them?! What DO you know?!

I believe she’s wrong about what she claims. Yes the Old Testament says grave. In the Old Testament after death people went to the place of waiting. This place was the grave.
Here’s an example:
1Sam 28:15, “And Samuel said to Saul, Why have you disquieted me, to bring me up? And Saul answered, I am sore distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God is departed from me, and answers me no more, neither by prophets, nor by dreams: therefore I have called you, that you may make known to me what I shall do.”
Disquited = Awaken.
This was in the Old Testament, before Christ came to earth.
Now in the New Testament, Jesus Himself talked about Hell, Judgement Day, Punishment, Living a Holy life, Torment, ect. It does exist. And God is love.
This is how it happened (from my blog):
When looking at our option of a free choice, what do we see? Do we see a God who deliberately says: Worship me or burn in hell? That’s not a fair choice, is it? Well, let’s look at the whole Jigsaw puzzle instead of one piece, shall we? In the beginning, God gave two people a free choice to do whatever they please; with only one restriction – “Do not eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil: for the day you eat from it, you’ll surely die”. We know that they disobeyed God’s commandment and by doing so, they opened a door: the door to death and punishment. Only one door, carrying one option. Now how is that fair for us who have to bear on ourselves their punishment? This is were Jesus comes into play. Jesus came and died for our sins and opened yet another door: the door of Life. “I am the way, the truth, and the life. I am the door”, He said. So, now we have two doors: Life and death/punishment. Now, let’s step back and examine the full completed jigsaw puzzle: Two choices. Either life through Christ, or the punishment that we deserved. So, is God portrayed as an evil tyrant who holds a gun to your head saying, “worship me or die”? Or is God portrayed as a friend who bails us out of severe punishment that someone has gotten us into? So, why are we still talking about the first door, when life has been returned to us? Therefore, we are free to choose our own choice, but we are not free from the consequence of our chosen choice.
He have us a second chance through His love. If we don’t take that second chance, we get that what we should have deserved – Hell.

Lk 16:22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
Lk 16:23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and sees Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
Lk 16:24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
Lk 16:25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and you are tormented.
Lk 16:26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from there.
YOU WILL GIVE ACCOUNT FOR EVERY WORD THAT YOU MISINTERPRET! INCLUDING THE WORD “SHOEL”!!
Of you say that there is no Hell and if you insist in your ignorance decision, I suspect only one thing: That one day when you stand before God in judgement day, you will remember this conversation.

No. It was the work of man. And all through history…..Man, like some smart ass lawyer, manipulated the words. …not in the benefit of all, but to extend his own agenda.

Often counterfeits add to the original. Since they counterfeited the Torah so poorly, it’s not hard to imagine they were stupid enough to change it. And look people like you are stupid enough to believe the bible is 100% accurate when the ORIGINAL is right there and uses different terms and different words. See your Christ, He was a Jew, he never denounced Jewish tradition nor Jewish ways. He observed the Torah in it’s full glory.
It’s the morons who came after him who changed GODS word and in their infinite wisdom changed the words of His SON as well. The bible is the fraud because Hebrew was the original, then duplicated into Greek (first counterfeit) and then Latin and English. And then duplicated 40 or 50 more times. The it was absconded by the Muslims.
But see the original still exists and is still right, pure and just and written as it has been for 3500 years in Hebrew. The New Testament was spoken in Hebrew and the entire counterfeited by the Greeks. There in lies the problem of your argument. The “original” is the Torah which is also the original words of Jesus Christ and the original faith of Jesus Christ.

Within the Torah there are places that talk about “graves/Qeber” (pit, grave, burying place or sepulcher):
1. People dug pits called “Qebers” (graves).
2. People touched pits called “Qebers” (graves).
3. People buried people in pits called “Qebers” (graves).
4. People put pits called “Qebers” (graves) on the face of the earth.
5. People don’t know things in pits called “Qebers” (graves).
NOW I HAVE 1 QUESTION: IF THE WORD “GRAVE” IN THE BIBLE MEANS “HELL”, WHY DIDN’T THEY USE THE WORD “SHOEL” IN PLACE OF THE WORD “GRAVE”?
1. People never dug a pit called “Sheol” (hell or the underworld).
2. People never touched a pit called “Sheol” (hell or the underworld).
3. People never buried anyone in a pit called “Sheol” (hell or the underworld).
4. People never put a pit called “Sheol” (hell or the underworld) on the face of the earth.
5. People know things in a pit called “Sheol” (hell or the subterranean world).

Who killed witches? If the Bible says: do not kill, then how can they be Christian, if they kill?
If they go against the Bible, they are not christian!
And just because a cop did an evil act, are we really going to blame all of the cops for his evil act? Why don’t you just blame that one cop, instead of all the cops?!

Every time I read comments like this, I automatically think what they are really saying is — “if there is no judgement and hell, no big eye in the sky surveilling my actions and thoughts 24/7, why should I be an upstanding, ethical, humane person?”
As an aside, in the video lecture I shared with you last week about the brain and the law, a study was cited showing that the brains of people with a certain mindset (judgement and punishment) became active in the reward centers.

Well, he denies the fact that the Qur’an is the only true word of god. By his reasoning, denying something that is true, like the Qur’an being the only word of god, proves that it’s true. Therefor, since he denies the Qur’an is the only true word of god, he’s admitting, and proving, that it is indeed the only true word of god. And by doing so, he admits he’s Muslim since the Qur’an is the only holy book pious a-holes like him can follow. Easy, when you think about it. 🙂

I just got through watching an excellent video from an ex-pastor (Jerry DeWitt) who stated that every pastor is agnostic, a skeptic, and full of doubt. I believe it. He said the more he studied religion the more of a skeptic he became. So, those “seasoned” pastors up in the pulpits? Yeah, they are telling people to have faith but they, themselves, understand what faith really is. Acting like you belief it. As DeWitt states — in secular terms, that’s called pretending.

The only way — THE only way a person can continue to believe is to deny their own conscience, and acknowledge that questioning is lacking faith and lacking faith is a sure-fire ticket to hell. That’s what’s so brilliant about the methodology of Christianity — you are taught to die to yourself.

You’re probably right. I was reading a few posts on David’s blog, and one of his posts was about a women, an astrophysicist who was raised an atheist and later became a Christian after obtaining her PhD.
So I started digging to get a little background on her and sure enough, she had gotten cancer, and around the same time, her husband was on his death bed, and wasn’t expected to live.

I think such religions are stabilized by fear, so something like hell is a necessary construction inside such belief systems, although a loving god creating a place for eternal torture is contradictory.
Its the fear of hell that stops proper thinking since the believer is afraid to be punished for thinking the wrong thing. Take away that threat and the whole thing crumbles.

“In the 380’s, a scholar by the name of Jerome was finally asked to update these versions. By all accounts, he took his job seriously. Eventually he recognized that the Greek translations weren’t accurate, and he went back to the original Hebrew. Doing so caused a bit of an uproar, as Christians at the time felt that the true Word of God was in Greek, not Hebrew.”
Quoted from: https://amusingnonsense.wordpress.com/2015/06/19/the-latin-vulgate-bible/

Romeo asks “Why doesn’t the TORAH use the word Hell for the word grave?!”
Simple answer and you are to stupid to figure it out yourself.
Because the Torah was first, and it was correct AS written. When the Greeks “counterfeited” the Torah THEY (the Greeks) got the word wrong. YOUR old testament is the counterfeit. YOUR old testament is the one that came SECOND which is to say AFTER the Torah.
So why doesn’t the Torah use the word hell? BECAUSE THE TORAH IS THE ORIGINAL COIN as you like to say so much.
Now a simple question for you. Are you truly this dumb are are you just a useless troll who likes being an ignorant digshit who drives people away from your bible with ignorance?
As a Christian you should be way smarter than trying to defend your ignorance of fact. If you want to debate try doing so in a meaningful, and intellengent way.
Now I CLEARLY answered your question.
Torah = Original and was here 1500 years before Jesus was born AND predecited the Messiah. It is clearly the original OR Jesus Isn’t who he claimed to be. Because if the Torah is the fake then it’s prediction of Jesus is a fake meaning your bible is a fraud.
Old Testament = counterfeit and improperly translated to Greek. When you attempt to duplicate something and do it as poorly as the Greeks did then the counterfeit is easy to spot.

If you are to read the Torah (Original) you would see the word “grave” on its pages. And it’s the original and no one has mistranslated it. Now, IF the word “grave” means “Hell”, why hasn’t the original author of the Torah put “Hell” instead of “grave”?
You see were I’m going at? Why are you ignoring this fact? I’m reading this from the Torah….The original. Now tell me, why did they put “grave” and “hell” as two separate words?
