Supporters of eternal hell cannot get around this verse. Well one speaker said the original intent was to say "it couldn't be paid" in some sort of sarcasm. However, that doesn't make sense. Now, Catholics claim it's really about purgatory and some Universalists claim it means hell is...

Radical athiests would bring up the point of how persecuted are humble, but when controlling the government - turn into monsters. How do you feel about this, being a Christian?

Movie spoiler:

Yeah, I think an obsession with politics isn't helping Christians. What about spreading the gospel instead? Probably they do, but it's beside the point.

I pray about my marriage, cause my son was lost to social services, with my wife blaming me.

Radical atheists bring up the point that OT laws seemed to harsh for them and they wouldn't worship the Hebrew God, even if he did exist. Anyway, though, it is true nothing changed from the OT to the new. Jesus was not a kinder, gentler Jehovah. This is a point a lot of Christians miss...

God, generally uses the bad to punish the bad, nonetheless, God did command the Ancient Israelites to draw swords and genocide the Canaanites. This is a point brought up by radical atheists. What was the exception of the Cannanites? Was it because the evil was so horrible that it surpassed...

There is a big debate on meaning of "eternal" and two sides cannot be right.

It's not a reason to be the executioner, even if you are correct. God judges and uses the bad to judge the bad, not Christians. I mean, no wonder there is all this intolerance and hate in the world - and so much by Christians. How could anyone get from a Roman Catholic mass or Protestant...

We can assume God knew Job was self-righteous from the beginning, but the text keeps it a secret, so it seems like he was holy.

Some say the Christian faith promotes seemingly Bible justified bigotry, but it's not the role, as I said in another thread, for the good to punish the bad. God simply allows the bad to punish the bad.

Jesus said that not everyone would enter the Kingdom, only those "walking in the light" and, in fact, even some people who seem holy won't make it. Anyway, a lot of seemingly holy people are hiding deep sin. For instance, Job was actually not holy - to the point God could allow judgement on...

Well, I can't say for religious, in general. However, as for the Christian faith, walking in the light (obeying God's word) - will result in true happiness and fulfillment, according to what Jesus said.

It's tough to say. However, the Bible wants us to put cares on him and not be full of anger and/or self-pity.

The Kingdom of God can be realized to a large extent on Earth. In fact, Christians who walk in the light - as in truly obey God's word - are living truly happy and enlightened lives. However, those people have been thru tough persecutions, so everything isn't all rosy. It's actually a deep...

Yeah but the problem is we cannot be a medium for Christ's righteousness all the time. That's why there's that threat of missing the rapture or burning in hell.

Perhaps these misinterpretations were promoted by a corrupt church wanting to scare people.

It's incompatible with God's forgiving nature. Well, Christians are changed by the fire, the others stay in the fire for more purification - until they're changed eventually. Why would imagine, assume otherwise?

I listened to this sermon the other day and found it interesting. Basically, Christians "living the life" are corrected daily - while the sinners, though at times experiencing the wrath of God via an un-abundant life, are mostly living high-times - only to be punished "at the day of the Lord"...
