This is some of the love you posted tarzan:
Anyone with ANY experience at all reading the Bible knows that Hell is a borrowed word and doesn't actually mean a physical location but that it
refers to Hades, which was the closest approximation in Greek to SHEOL which is Hebrew for "the grave". Sheol is man's inevitable destination. The
grave, or more accurately, nothingness. Read Job and you'll learn why it is completely retarded for anyone to believe that God has created this crazy
place, Hell

Do you remember reading this?
Mark 12:29 (King James Version)
29And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
30And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first
commandment
31And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

Is this the way you talk to yourself and show love? There are many with children and family members that have mental disabilities who find the term
"retarded" used so carelessly very hurtful and repugnant. There are some people who have these disabilities who can read. Have you not thought how
this may cause hurt?
Please consider that not all who believe in God and who try their best to follow Jesus have the superior intellect that you presume to have. Now , if
you have made it with me this far then try and recollect passages such as these.

Deuteronomy 32:22
For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the
foundations of the mountains.
Mark 9:43 (King James Version)
43And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that
never shall be quenched:
Matthew 13:42 (King James Version)
42And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Matthew 5:22
But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his
brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
James 3:6
And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of
nature; and it is set on fire of hell.

Can you not see how some one without your wisdom may believe a little different?
If you truly think someone is wrong could it be possible to try and explain or teach in a more loving manner?
James 3:13
Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.
I feel we should show love to one another and be slow to anger.
