Do you believe hell is a justifiable punishment for a simple lack of belief?

[preacher102]

I attend a local church in south-west England, but don't lump me in the same pile as the rest of the Godless heathens here!

My favourite Bible verse is 1 Corinthians 16:13 "Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong."


I am curious about this as a ethical man myself. Please can you answer this with your hearts and think, "is God really omnibenevolent?".

What kind of a preacher are you, that you are unfamiliar with the Holy Bible?

Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

Amos 3:6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the Lord hath not done it?

..."is God really omnibenevolent?"...

Please name one part of the Bible that would lead you to think so, "preacher".

You are calling the True Christians™ on this board heathens and referring to yourself as an ethical man? How can that be? You have said a lie. That is not ethical.

Re: Do you believe hell is a justifiable punishment for a simple lack of belief?

I think anyone who does not give Jesus their non-stop and 110% devotion, should go to Hell, and that is getting off easy! Look at the deal God is giving you. A measly 90 or so years of commitment for an eternity of bliss and splendor. The equivalent of going into a Cadillac dealer and saying "I'd like one fully loaded' and they simply gave it to you because you asked.

Praise come the Glory!

Do you believe hell is a justifiable punishment for a simple lack of belief?

Yes.

Romans 14:23b [F]or whatsoever is not of faith is sin.

Unbelief is tantamount to calling God a liar.

1 Jn 5:10b [H]e that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.

Don't you get angry with people who don't believe what you say?

Actually, it is not just unbelief that condemns a sinner to hell.
