It’s just going to be a lot, lot worse than their life here on earth. Here they benefit from an environment that includes many Christians. In hell - not a Christian in sight, only demons (who hate humans) and others full of the same hate and anguish as they are. In addition Scripture indicates they will also experience physical agony in their body (resurrected).
life is good in a country where there are only buddhists in sight. they are very nice people. tolerant, spiritual, fun loving.
And which country is that?life is good in a country where there are only buddhists in sight. they are very nice people. tolerant, spiritual, fun loving.
the point is, you dont really need christians (or jews) to build a wonderful society. you dont even have to believe in god, like the buddhists.And which country is that?
What happens if there are others besides Buddhists in hell?
isnt your version of god supposed to be omnipresent? if thats the case then he is even present in hell.
Perhaps.
Amen to that. I think it was Cardinal Sheen who said “To the soul that hates God, heaven would be a worse punishment than hell.” But as Peter Kreeft points out (following the thoughts of C.S. Lewis) in his book “Everything You Ever Wanted to Know about Heaven,” The souls in hell are burned not by their separation from God, but by what little connection they have to him. The souls in hell hate God, yet God continues to love them, and God’s love is the source of their torture. A good quote from Kreeft is:
Yes it is.
Possibly very little. The difference here is their choice is still in flux; if it weren’t, they would be dead, literally.
Buddhists and Atheists doesnt seem to care right now. I mean through Christian point of view- RIGHT NOW atheists are “locked in an irreversible rejection of a God whose presence they cannot escape”. But atheists dont mind. They are still having a grand time.
the atheists? what perfect love? like the holocaust?
LOL! Its funny how christians are trying to change what the bible is saying.
Its perfectly clear that in the bible, hell is all about the wrath of god. HATE. not love.NO NO NO. When buddhists say “God” that is merely a mistranslation. What they have in mind is vastly different from the Christian point of view. Buddha for them is the highest form of existence and there is no perfect translation for that idea in english. The next best word for buddha in english is “God”. That does not mean they believe in a supreme creator divine being.
I’m yet to see one, at least one, wonderful society…
there is a lot out there that is “wonderful enough”. in the east there is taiwan, thailand, singapore. its not perfect. but its good enough.
I agree since even the starving and violent nations in Africa are paradise compared to what the hell is like.there is a lot out there that is “wonderful enough”. in the east there is taiwan, thailand, singapore. its not perfect. but its good enough.
nowhere near the ‘hell’ that you folks are trying to imagine.
No, the Christian viewpoint is not that it is irreversible. While they are alive here on earth it is still possible for them to change their view - and that possibility is there at every split second.
