Rejoicing in the damnation of others?

Re: ALL ABOARD - The HELL Train!!

From Billy-Rueben himself:
"Now, friend, if you have read all of this, and still believe that our doctrine is in error, we will be eternally grateful if you can demonstrate this to us, using in-context Scripture from the King James Bible, following the principle of "least scripture twisting"."

So I shall continue. Pastor Fred quotes Revelation 11:10 to justify his celebration. In context, this verse is actually referring to sinners celebrating the death of two prophets in the end times. There is absolutely no correlation between this and rejoicing over sinners entering hell. Here is the passage IN CONTEXT:

[3] And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
[4] These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
[5] And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
[6] These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
[7] And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
[8] And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
[9] And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
[10] And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.
[11] And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.
[12] And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.

Please explain to me how this justifies celebrating lost souls being damned to eternal fire.

Re: ALL ABOARD - The HELL Train!!

Pastor Ezekiel, may I point out the very next verse from that chapter of Psalm?

"Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure."

I don't think that anyone associates displeasure with laughing. Derision is not typically a pleasurable experience either. Also, that link provided me the opinion of a "Pastor Deacon Fred" and not the Word of God.

I have given you evidence from the KJV that God dislikes this sort of thing and have seen none suggesting He likes it.

Did you bother to read the sermon I linked? Pastor Deacon Fred has plenty to say, all backed with the Holy Bible, that pertains to your false Christian arguments.

By the way this is NOT a debate forum. Please read THIS thread before making an even bigger fool of yourself.

Re: ALL ABOARD - The HELL Train!!

I find it a bit sad that some rejoice when others enter hell. To each their own I suppose. I'll rejoice when another joins the ranks of the saved.

It doesn't matter what you think. All that matters is what God thinks.

"He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision." Psalm 2:4

In my view, rejoicing when sinners enter Hell is, in fact, the GODLY thing to do. Do you think God would do anything that makes Himself feel terrible? Of course not. He's not a masochist, after all. Quite the opposite! So it follows that He is more than happy to toss souls into the lake of fire ... even those kindly, helpful and loving souls who lived good lives, but rejected Christianity.
