so jX cannot provide verse which shows "sweating in hell", just more waffle.

You can go to hell for lying. It is written: I am not in a liar.

Jesus talked about hell more than any other person in the Bible. In Luke 16, he describes a great chasm over which “none may cross from there to us.” In Matthew 25, Jesus tells of a time when people will be separated into two groups, one entering into his presence, the other banished to “eternal fire.”

Jesus talks about hell more than he talks about heaven, and describes it more vividly. There’s no denying that Jesus knew, believed, and warned against the absolute reality of hell.


Jesus doesn’t only reference hell, he describes it in great detail. He says it is a place of eternal torment

(Luke 16:23), of unquenchable fire (Mark 9:43), where the worm does not die (Mark 9:48), where people

will gnash their teeth in anguish and regret (Matt. 13:42), and from which there is no return, even to warn

loved ones (Luke 16:19–31). He calls hell a place of “outer darkness” (Matt. 25:30), comparing it to

“Gehenna” (Matt. 10:28), which was a trash dump outside the walls of Jerusalem where rubbish was

burned and maggots abounded. Jesus talks about hell more than he talks about heaven,

Hahaha.

a place full of flames is shrouded in darkness?




Thats not verifiably Jesus saying/writing such , since the Gospels are by unknown authors.

The mutiple editors of the bible never really got together to collaberate a coherent story so that's why it's the dog's breakfast that it is. Parable writing method tries to smother over the inconsistencies I guess but fails upon closer scrutiny and application of logic and historic findings.

Scripture fails a lot tests, that I can accept all things considered.

but nonsense goes to a new level when people
then attempt to usewhat is already ambiguous,
subjective and unverifiable, and spin / twist it
in all kinds of irrational if not absurd ways.

jaguartx:

I think it's great you can quote a book, but why should I believe your particular book and not someone else's?

What empirical evidence do you have that your book is for real and every other book is false -- I need this criteria before I can accept you are correct.

This is serious business because according to you I'm going to burn for eternity. Surely there is a substantial amount of criteria to determine fairy tale from reality, right?

I will not get after anyone, Lord Jesus loves us all. All He asks is to take Him up on the Greatest Bargain in the history of the world.

I see no good evidence that He doesn’t exist.

You shouldn't.

You should prolly go muzzy. 72 virgins, you know.

why throw a wet blanket on wild conspiracies and
primitive myth prophecies?

Too closely related to Christianity for my taste. So why do you believe when you have no facts or evidence? More importantly why do you believe in a particular thing?

Fubarski is one the most logical Intel. Christians here
Not even he could present a sound case that proves all
other God's false.




Nor good evidence others gods don't also exist.

.... lest you can surprise us

Check and mate. Logic prevails.

I hope that was sarcasm.... I really really hope.

I see no evidence that Santas doesn't exist either

Try again why Jesus used parables. He says if He did not people would understand and He would have to save them. Read Mark 4.

The most documented legal historical evidence prior to the printing press is the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. Do some research.

I've never read the bible, but that sounds like a cruel excuse. How do you know which bits Jesus was supposed to have written?

Oh, but they do.

Problem is, they cant save you. You want to return as a cow rather than continue being an ass next time?
