I have a question for Christians who believe in evolution?

Why would God start giving souls to people if he was omniscient and knew that most would go to hell? It would be better for the people who lived before souls were given. This is why atheism is a more positive view of life. Atheism says nobody has a soul and therefore nobody suffers eternal fire.

    God is love and He/They (the Trinity) are each just as loving and kind and friendly as our Creator Father-Son Jesus Christ IS ! NEVER was there any sub-godly and even sub-human thing called "hell" with (even worse) "eternal fire and damnation".No serious, Spirit-led Bible student or Theologian believes in "hell" They know that the Bible words for hell: "sheol" means "gravesite" for the richer Jews then. The word "gehenna" means garbage dump for the poorer Jews who had their dead bodies tossed in the city garbage pit and it was (wisely) burned frequently to keep the smell and diseases under control. "Hell" was not ever taught by Jesus, but by some disciples of John the Baptist who had those false traditions from earlier Egyptian, Persian, Mithraic doctrines of good and evil "equal duality". Foolishness ! God is (Monistic) infinite Light and the darkness is unreal and can not exist on Paradise or other perfected levels.

    When very unspiritual, fearful humans here in the USA at Salem, MA burned human "witches" (no real such thing) at the stake --that was their sick idea of a false "hell-fire demon volcano god" as of very Old Testament times. Today, witch burning is much frowned upon as madness, and life in prison or worse results; but some "Judeo-Christian" "neo-con ministers" still pray for the USA to have more and bigger "Hell-Fire Missles, amen !" in our military to burn those ("different from me !") "radicals going to Hell anyway !" Yes, very SLOW progress, but it is progress ! Heaven on earth here is guaranteed in much less than a trillion more years ! Whoopie ! It all depends on how fast all humans on earth freely choose to be Spirit of God and Spirit of Truth led ! God gives us freewill to choose Heaven or hell here on our kindergarten heaven earth !

    Souls are not given by God as an outside thing -- all normal humans over about age 6 yrs have the pure spirit portion -Essence of God within their minds, to quietly and steadily teach God's will to you and to me. When we agree a little to do God's will, this Spirit within you DUPLICATES your good decisions as (ever more) SOUL you ! --just like you but without the material body. The body soon dies here in about 77 yrs average (38 yrs for degenerates on average) and EACH and EVERY SOUL then will (at various times, sleeping souls have no time sense ! great !) physically die, and you will re-personalize as soul up in a Heaven seemingly INSTANTLY ! It is from the eternal now view :))

    Then, up on the next higher Heaven, each soul here will be taken into the full conscious Presence of God and Jesus as One in Spirit and you will be asked if you now choose to Be an eternally ascending Son of God in Jesus or to Absolutely and Finally reject such a Gift and be not -- extinguished forevermore -- and that is painless but INFINITELY STUPID !!!

    This is the "final death" mentioned slightly in the very incomplete "Book of Revelation".

    The Truths in and of and about God and Reality are appearing in endless stages of ever higher Epochal Revelations to us, as mankind progresses more in spirituality, ethics, morality, science and intelligence

    We Jesusonian Christians and many other flavors of Christians do believe in Eternal infinite Paradise perfect Creation and transcendental (intermediate) all perfected Creations and Eventuations and #3 Jesus Christ's space-time universe Creation here including our planet and you and me which are all PERFECTING in space-time CREATIVE EVOLUTION (growth perfecting advancing etc) That is no big deal as far as our salvation goes.

    Atheists who still fear FIRE FOREVER upon them is a BIG, sick "deal". ... (reflecting in Truth ...)

    Jesus is here saying "Fear not ! Be of good cheer ! Rejoice that you are now a divinely beloved son of God in Me. Abide in Me and ascend in My Light and Life in perfecting the performance of the will of God to all persons forevermore. My Paradise peace I bestow upon you without limit ..."

    Listen to what more He is silently infusing in you as soul now.

    Your mind will have to play catch-up for some years, depending on how much you have willingly polluted it. You will soon lean the value in doing that no more and seeking mind mastery with the help of the perfect Mind of our Master Jesus.

    Peace and progress,

    I believe in evolution and creationism and don't believe in hell.

    I am also a Christian. Though with a very different view of things.

    I think I have a very positive view of life. Much more positive than the atheists that I have met in real life. Some had positive views , but most were very morbid. I know most atheists aren't that way from what I have experienced on this board. The ones on this board seem to have as much of a positive view on life as I do.

    Some of us (me at least), believe all things have souls. In fact to me, God is the soul of all existence. And to me, Hell isn't a place you are sent by God, but a state of being that you choose through your rejection of the Divine. To me, God neither loves nor punishes, Hell is something you do to yourself...

    i improve into raised as a Christian yet I nonetheless settle for evolution. i'm going to describe why. God pronounced, "enable there be mild. " And He observed the mild improve into good. i'm particularly helpful that as quickly as the great Bang befell, there improve into somewhat some sunshine. i don't sense the previous testomony improve into meant to be taken actually. Adam and Eve are symbolic of society on the time. i think of it fairly is the factor in historic previous whilst guy began to question himself approximately his very own morals. possibly human beings the place beginning to be much less nomadic than interior the previous and consequently had to take duty for the relationships they had with others around them. maximum Christians stay via the recent testomony. those are the classes of Jesus. they are elementary morals that completely everyone could stay via.

    It's not about what's more positive (which is subjective), but which is true. I'm an atheist simply because my experience and knowledge led me to my own conclusion.

    I have much more respect for Christians who do not throw away natural possibilities for the wide variety of life simply because it's not written in the Bible.

    If he didn`t create souls everyone would not exist. Plus people in hell CHOOSE to go, if you ask one (which is impossible by the way) he`ll tell you that he doesn`t want to go to heaven.

    God created you for love and out of love.

    Would life really be better without love?

  • Born again Christians keep God's Law book the Bible and don't believe lies.

    But that doesn't make Atheism right.
