Re: Rejoicing in the damnation of others?

You claim that my thoughts are a muddled puddle, yet you proclaim to be "jacking off for Jesus" in your signature. That's perhaps the most vile thing I've ever heard.

I will provide more Biblical evidence for my claims when I have time, but now I must get to class.

Brother Heathen Basher hit it squarely on the noggin. It's called Holy Schadenfreude. He needs only to keep repeating the Scripture he cited to shut you up:

Proverbs 11: 10When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth: and when the wicked perish, there is shouting.

Psalms 58:10 The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.

jedimario, (I suppose that is a gametard name, right?-too funny) Do you s-s-s-stutter much? Ever been on the internet, one of Gods and Americas greatest inventions? You made many posts, near identical and all perfectly visible. I checked the logs and every one of your posts is right where you left them.

Well, enjoy your class on remedial breathing.

Re: Rejoicing in the damnation of others?

I suppose that you have read the numerous Bible references quoted (above) so that I don't need to single any out - but perhaps Proverbs 16:4 is worth a mention.
Have you read Genesis at all? It documents God's opinion of His handiwork. In chapter1 verse25 He evaluates the merits of "..euery thing that creepeth vpon the earth" ©1611 please note: NOT some things; here is the evaluation: "..and God saw that it was good" ©1611.

Genesis 3:1a Now the serpent was more subtill then any beast of the field, which the LORD God had made..

Are you suggesting that God was mistaken when He pronounced the created orders of life were "good"? or do you insist that He was telling lies? In the light of your remarks so far it must be one or the other.

As a result of the activities of the serpent this is a good place to recall God's evaluation of this (and every other) lifeform certain persons will wind up here.
How long for? God says: PERMANENTLY context
Who is "the Lambe"? God defines: JESUS context
Will there be rejoicing there? God says: Isaiah 65:17-18 For behold, I create new heauens, and a new earth: & the former shal not be remembred, nor come into mind. But bee you glad and reioyce for euer in that which I create: for beholde, I create Ierusalem a reioycing, and her people a ioy. context
Recap:
How long will the rejoicing last? God says: PERMANENTLY
How long will the torment last? God says: PERMANENTLY
Where will this be taking place? God says: in the presence of the Lambe ©1611

Will we really be there with "the Lambe" ©1611 rejoicing? God says: I Thessalonians 4:17
Will that state of affairs persist? God says: Daniel 7:18
HALLELUJAH !

No kidding Brother James - sounds like our original poster has a case of paranoid schizophrenia.

Re: Rejoicing in the damnation of others?

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.

Dear friend:

Perhaps this thread will help.

Re: Rejoicing in the damnation of others?

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.

And I'll celebrate all of Our Lord's Blessed decisions, not just the ones that seem "nice" to my limited mortal understanding.

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.

Yes, but He's not displeased because He's sending them to Hell; He's sending them to Hell because He's displeased with them. Just like how we're pleased by God's righteous judgement against sinners, but we're not pleased by the sins they commit. Do you understand the difference?

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

What evidence? Please repost it for my benefit. Or do you mean the evidence clearly showing that God punishes people He dislikes, which is not the same as disliking punishing people?

You can delete this post all you want. I do not understand how I am in error.

Of course you don't. If you understood how you were in error, you'd hopefully repent of your error before God had to punish you and we had to celebrate it.
Does this help at all?
Proverbs 1:26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;
27 When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.

Do you accept that that is God being entertained by the destruction of the wicked? Here's a bit more context:
24 Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
25 But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;
27 When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.
28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:
30 They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.
31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.
32 For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
33 But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.

We're definitely talking about God here, calamities and anguish are definitely happening, and He is definitely having a laugh. Next you'll try and claim that God doesn't deliberately manipulate events to give Himself an excuse to slaughter babies.
