How is that possible? I asked specifically for that and answered specifically by leading me to one. I mean, c'mon...he could have led me to some JW kingdom hall or something, you know? :coffee:

How come all the other religions you know so much about without atually knowing anything about, not cover your eternal amnation?
Hint: The death and resurrection of Jesus is purely metaphorical.
As is "hell.
As is the surviving thematic fragments of both the Old and New Testament. You turn mental somersaults attempting to justify imagery as real. Can you prove a rose by any other name smells as sweet?
Like trying to absolutely proof the Disney Dumbo can really fly

Well...what do you know? I guess you found another unique teaching in biblical Christianity: No eternal damnation.
But are you surprised by this? Virtually the entire world is traveling the broad path that leads to hell -- and everyone is skipping along it like mindless, clueless sheep led to the slaughter house by the god of this world. So many are living in their own metaphorical realities which have little or nothing to do with spiritual reality, as revealed in scripture.

Skipping? No Dumbo flies.

You wanted to believe. You're afraid to not believe. So afraid that, logic be damned, you will believe.

How do you know he didn't? How do you know you didn't misunderstood? Maybe you were meant to be a JW but you prayed in the wrong church. :lol: :lol: :lol:

No...I was willing to believe if he answered my prayer. You are not willing to believe, no matter what.

Because I know what JWs believe? :rolleyes: And any resemblance between their doctrines and bible doctrines is purely coincidental.

Okay...I thought it was probably that passage, but I asked because there are similar ones in scripture?
So...now that we have that straightened out, you made the accusation that "God lies". And you appeal to that passage as proof? What makes you think this passage isn't prophecy? And if prophecy, what makes you think it has or should have already come to pass? Has it occurred to you that the prophecy is yet to be fulfilled?

Disappointed? You must be in a real hurry to get to Brimstone Lake.

Is there no expiration date on these biblical prophecies? Must we wait for all eternity before we store them in the "fabrication" file...where they belong?

This “eternal life” that you claim is yours because of your faith in Christ and the power of his death on the cross is bizarre...how can any reasonable person think that they will “live forever”...? Not only that, aside from its impossibility, why would anyone want to...?
For years, I struggled with the idea of our mortality, until I realized that, indeed, there was no point in living forever, I mean what point COULD THERE POSSIBLY BE for living forever?
But since you are a firm believer in this “certainty”, at least for you anyway, maybe you can clue me in on the nature of such livelihood...I mean, how will you be occupying your (Time?) in Eternity...? There will no longer be any darkness, right...? No males or females, you’ll be like the angels, right...?
No work to do, I imagine...so no need to rest from your labours...
No pain, tears, or sickness...no funerals since Death has been vanquished...
No births either, I suppose, without males or females, that is...
So you are going to spend all Eternity flying around as a angel working on God’s next condo...? Please explain the appeal of why on earth I would want to be in this so called “paradise of Edenic glory”....? What will God have me doing next?

At least you can eternally thank god for no hell and brimstone. Box will probably be running around reminding everyone, "see you got here. I won the argument" patting himself on the back. An ego that will never quit.
How many will want to remain?

In light of the way the mighty USA grovels before AIPAC, that may have been the wrong passage to cite.;)
