Something that had me stumped.

(1/3) > >>

Lupac:
Hi, I was reading an exchange between a agnostic/leaning universalist and a evangelical-person. The agnostic guy said he didn't believe in hell, because some of his family had already died, being non-christians, and he didn't want to believe in a God would put them in hell forever. The evangelical quotes the scripture (Can't remember what book.), where Jesus says that unless someone forsakes his mother and father, that he's not worthy to follow him. How would you respond to something like this?

Hey Lupac,
I believe the scripture being quoted is this:
Mat 10:37  He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

My question would be "What does this scripture have to do with some place that doesn't exist?"

Lupac:
Well, they were saying not worthy of Jesus = Hell. ...It was stupid

Akira329:
What are you exactly stumped by??

1Ti 1:15 Faithful is the saying, and worthy of all welcome, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, foremost of whom am I."
1Ti 1:16 But therefore was I shown mercy, that in me, the foremost, Jesus Christ should be displaying all His patience, for a pattern of those who are about to be believing on Him for life eonian."

Rev 3:4  Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.
Rev 3:5  He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

They will be worthy!

Antaiwan

Lupac:
Um, it didn't really have me stumped. I just didn't think it through.
