Why do you believe in hell?

The bible is full of tricks on the mind, each time you read it, something subliminal feeds into your sub conciounce. There is no hell, hell is denial, hell is a closed mind. Heaven? Heaven is simple knowledge. The red sea wasn't literally parted. Read Angels and Demons by Dan Brown.. Hies views are ignored and judged. Sure, he puts a plot and story around hi thoughts, but they're not that far from accurate. In a sense anway. Ignorance is bliss.

This universe is so large, how could we be the only life in it?

Now this does not reflect my beliefs, but the "aliens" were supposed to have manipulated human beings through religion. If that is true, then there is nothing to worry about death. I do not believe in hell because it would seem unlikely that a loving father could do such a thing.

Sorry about the non related post.

With the whole alien manipulating us into religion, I disbelieve that. There's supposedly 3 major types of alien species out there. "Greys, Blondes, and Reptilians". A good freind of mine told me he was enlightened once, and that after that moment he slept with a blade under his bed. He told me that there is a thing called 3rd density beings, another form of reptilian. Were harvested from time to time, now this is what I was told, I don't necessarily believe it. He told me our main purpose in life is to feed, feed another lifefrom, "Reptilians". This is something created for us, to pass the time.. And we also have a decision as a type of 3rd density beings, our spirits, to live as human beings. Until we are grown like plants, ripe enough to feed on. When we are consumed we are then reborn into another 3rd density being, and have the decision to be fully disposed, or come back here for another run at life. If you've seen the Matrix you may have a better understanding. Another POV. The Greys are a dying breed, so they come here to extract bodily organs and or fluids from our bodies. So they can accelerate their species' birth rate, thus, sroties of "hybrids". There have been reports of abductees stating that they have been given an egg, or a crystal after being abducted, or even in their dreams. And this egg is something that will expose of itself in due time, even before it can be examined by proper authorities. And supposedly the "Blondes, greys, and reptilians" in a three way battle. The Blondes disagree with what the greys are doing to us, some believe that the blondes are "cousins" to humans. And they are spectating on what they once were. They are supposed to be far more advanced than us, but we are catching up with excessive speed. Not for another dozen lifetimes though. The greys are were at war with the reptilians for centurys, and now the blondes are joining the battle. And for what? Our puny species? Isn't that crazy? Of course, it's only a few opinions fused into one solid statement. And where is the one called god? Is this one we called god our 3rd density being friends? The ones who made us into nothing but a field of goodies? Well, maybe religion was put on us from other lifeforms to distract us to what's really going on. The battle in outspace is over who gets us, and the battle on earth is of religion and recources. And the battle of religion is of Heaven and Hell, Jahova and Lucifer. HAHAHA. AN ENDLESS CYCLE. "War is just mother natures way of thinning out the herd". So do I believe in hell? No.. Do I believe in what I just typed down? I'm not sure, but it's very interesting.. Right?

Oh yea, didn't mean to make a thread about believeing in hell about ET. As you can see, this is probably the reason why I don't have many friends..

I simply can't make sense of everlasting torture by fire.

God, by definition, must be greater than I am - otherwise it is not God.

If my child lies about something, I am disappointed because I care about his character. I punish him humanely so that he will know better next time.

The punishment is a sort of guidance that leads him to be a better person.

If I messed up and was sentenced to burn for all eternity, there would be no next time. Therefore, the punishment is not guidance, it is merely suffering - and to what end? Would it better me? No. Would it make the world a better place? No. Would it make anything, anywhere, better for anyone? No.

I can only conclude that my suffering would be the result of sadism, or mental illness on the part of one who wanted me to suffer.

God, by definition, must be greater than I am - otherwise it is not God.

I would not subject anyone to pointless suffering and so God, being better than I am, would not either.

God doesn't SEND people there, you choose to go there by rejecting His offer of forgivenss and eternal life through His Son.

I don't want to pick on you just me 2, I am just using your quote because I have heard others say the same. I don't want you to change your beliefs, I just find this method to be an expedient way of expressing my beliefs.

Here are my thoughts on this "choosing to go there":

Let's say my child lied and so I set him on fire. I tell the judge that I am not responsible because it is not a matter of me setting him on fire. You see, he chose to burn because he did not do as I said. Sure I purchased the flame thrower just for the occasion, but it's really his fault that I had to use it.

These are some of the reasons that I simply do not understand the concept of hell.

I don't.

Well not because a book told you it is there I was hoping for your own judgement. After all th bible was written by men, and why use other mens opinions.

This is an excellent website that explains the reliability of the Bible as being the Word of God, not man. God used man as the "writing instrument" as a pen or pencil is to us.

LOL Ha ha what a complete irony, one statement saying "dont believe the bible as its the work of man" and another saying " heres a website (another work of man) that proves that the bible is not a work of man.



G

The subject of a belief in hell has been addressed in BTS thread 235826 and BTS thread 233546.

MadSeason313,

Your response to my response was rude and childish, I never said I believed in ET. So you in a way are only hurting yourself.

Now don't qoute me on this one and derail the thread.
