Irony of ironies!
orion77:
God made us male and female, to where we come together and become as one to raise our own families. Here we are as fathers and mothers raising children, knowing full well they will make many mistakes. But there are none of us, no matter what our children do or become could possibly bring us to the point where we would torture our children forever and ever. Impossible!!
Now we are taught that God, who is our FATHER will torture most of His children for not obeying. Talk about ironic and 100% opposite to the nature of things. Is it any wonder why many people refuse to hear anything about God!
One does not even have to know anything about the bible to see it is a wrong belief. Who would want to have a father like that? Just amazes me how bassackwards the religious community has become. Talk about blind!!!
I don't know what else to say, jeez!
God bless you all.

yeah orion, in many ways it is a mystery.
a mystery to me how i never thought to question the hell doctrine for all the years God had me in babylon... a head scratcher
plenty of other things seemed obvious tithing, leg stretching etc etc etc etc
clearly God could have opened my eyes at any time, yet He chose in His infinite wisdom to keep me blind to the absurdity of ET, He knows how much i suffered in babylon, then at a later time POW! and i was thinking "how the hell didn't i see that earlier" LOL
..who knows, bottom line is when God was good and ready He opened my eyes a little.
i mean now i wouldn't touch ET with a 30 foot barge pole it seems the dumbest doctrine i ever heard, not to mention the most insidious and vile blasphemy, but it never occured to me back in the day that it was a total lie..
well if nothing else it bears out that God works all things after the counsel of His own will, blind babylon, true apostles, false doctrine and blessed truth,
Rom 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
Rom 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
it will be sooooooo great to get these labour pains out of the way and get on with the plan of God
i for one can't wait till the present age has served it's mysterious purpose and we can get on with it.. but only the Father knows when that moment will arrive.
hehe a little world weary so to speak at the moment, definately had about as much as i can take of this present age and it's trials
oooops spoke to soon
LOL
whats that Lord ? you know i'm hard of hearing, WHAT! it's for my own good!!
well He is the Author and Perfecter
what would i know ? i used to believe in ET ;)

This very idea is what had me at odds with the Church for most of my life.
As a child, I was MADE to go to Church every time the doors were open. I would listen to the preachers and hear the grown ups talk about Hell....then in the same breath, praise God and say how wonderful he is. It was very confuseing and to be honest....it just didn't feel right.
As I got older, I almost became an atheist...but God wouldn't let me!

Pretty much the same here.
AFA God punishing His children forever, my church taught that only Christians were God's children. The rest were children of Satan. That's how they explained it away. I'm assuming most Christian churches have the same doctrine.

I've been to many differant churches...I have found them all to teach pretty much the same doctrine with only minor differances.
