Okay... what does any of this have to do with the points and parallels I made?
If Rome is the dragon (Apollyon), and the dragon is the one who devoured the child in Revelation 12 and turned him into the beast, and the beast had a mortal wound that was healed (crucifixion), and the dragon (Rome) established the RCC, what does that tell you? That Rome turned Jesus into the beast, which is why I say you worship the antichrist, or Rome's version of Jesus.

1 John 4
18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
So again, if love drives out fear, then why is your god associated with punishment? Love is supposed to drive out fear and punishment.

Where do sinners go? If not heaven then where? It's gotta be hell because that's the whole point behind faith and grace, right?

I'm trying to be as unbiased in this thread as possible.
I am not talking about the *morality* of Yahweh's actions, nor am I talking about the teachings of Jesus in The New Testament.
I am specifically talking about how some people call Yahweh , "Satan", even though "Satan" was a being who went against Yahweh's will persuading Man to eat the fruit, and was interacting with Yahweh in Heaven in The Book Of Job.
The Bible clearly demonstrates that these are two different beings.

No the whole point of faith and God's grace is to keep us from the second death. Our faith is our hope in the assurances of Christ's promise, that he will not leave us in the grave.
Is there a hell where you burn for eternity? I don't know, but the grave is eternal unless you are resurrected because sheol is "the grave" in Hebrew, also called the "bottomless pit or "abyss" because without resurrection you will stay dead forever. Gehenna is where the concept of a "lake of fire" comes from. Gehenna was a trash dump outside Jerusalem and in ages passed people would take pitch and burn the refuse and it looked like a lake of fire. Suffice it to say without Christ you are nothing but garbage, and you will be thrown out like refuse.edit on 16-7-2013 by lonewolf19792000 because: (no reason given)

Look at verse 16, it clearly shows that he is talking about both God's love and our love at the same time. So my question still stands.

But that's not true is it? I believe Jesus was the Son of God, but I do not believe he died for our sins. Do I just need to believe he's the Son or do I also need to believe he died for my sins?

A simple apology would have been nice but you had to get your dick in a wringer and make a snide remark.
