  • Why is it that major religions continue?

    to teach eternal burning in hell when there is no proof of it in the Bible? It is a MYTH!

    What is the origin of the myth?

    “Of all classical Greek philosophers, the one who has had the greatest influence on traditional views of Hell is Plato.”—Histoire des enfers (The History of Hell), by Georges Minois, page 50.

    “From the middle of the 2nd century AD Christians who had some training in Greek philosophy began to feel the need to express their faith in its terms . . . The philosophy that suited them best was Platonism [the teachings of Plato].”—The New Encyclopædia Britannica (1988), Volume 25, page 890.

    A depiction of hell

    “The teaching of the Church affirms the existence of hell and its eternity. Immediately after death the souls of those who die in a state of mortal sin descend into hell, where they suffer the punishments of hell, ‘eternal fire.’ The chief punishment of hell is eternal separation from God.”—Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1994 edition, page 270.

    What does the Bible say?

    “For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing, . . . for there is no work or thought or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol, to which you are going.”—Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10, Revised Standard Version.

    The Hebrew word Sheol, which referred to the “abode of the dead,” is translated “hell” in some versions of the Bible. What does this passage reveal about the condition of the dead? Do they suffer in Sheol in order to atone for their errors? No, for they “know nothing.” That is why the patriarch Job, when suffering terribly because of a severe illness, begged God: “Protect me in hell [Hebrew, Sheol].” (Job 14:13; Douay-Rheims Version) What meaning would his request have had if Sheol was a place of eternal torment? Hell, in the Biblical sense, is simply the common grave of mankind, where all activity has ceased.

    Is not this definition of hell more logical and in harmony with Scripture? What crime, however horrible, could cause a God of love to torture a person endlessly? (1 John 4:8) But if hellfire is a myth, what about heaven?

    Compare these Bible verses: Psalm 146:3, 4; Acts 2:25-27; Romans 6:7, 23

  • Why do we get so upset when they see a child working?

    We are so for child labor laws but yet when a child becomes a singer at 11 or an actor at 5 we applaud it and accept it! Why is that? Most of these children after becoming of age can now check themselves into rehab.

  • Why people try so hard to prove the trinity when the Bible clearly does not teach it?

    I just saw some use a text from Isa 9:6 to prove it... but this text only shows that Jesus was Gods chief agent of life and that this title was prophetical. Others were given this title for having imitators and followers...Romans 4:11-12 Abraham? Even Satan had this title John 8:4

    Even churches push it to be the truth when Gods power and strength and mightiness would hold stronger value if people would just follow what the Bible teaches and see that God Jehovah gave his son Jesus as a ransom for mankind. Jesus died for us...DEAD! and his Father resurrected him! Power of resurrecting the dead.

    Is there any proof in the Trinity in the Bible. and no the first book is not proof Jesus was with God as a helper not as a trinity. If Jesus and his father were to be one then how come Adam and Eve were not a " Biety" one entity? The scriptures say Gen 2:24 they must become one flesh.

    IDK what a Biety is either....but they could not be a trinity...
