I need an educated teacher
Dave in Tenn:
The LOF series is full of scripture. As others have said, study them. Reasoning FROM scripture serves a good purpose in causing the questions, but Scripture itself gives the answers. It's not given to everybody to believe them, however.

No, it doesn't make sense to me that God would just pick some for eternal life and others for eternal torture. Yes, it seems horrible. But our standard is not God's. IF (notice I say IF) God says that's what he's gonna do; we gotta love it or burn. It's that simple.
So, while I can certainly relate to people saying that God must not send people to Hell if he loves everyone, that's leaning on your own understanding. Cold, hard scripture is all I'm interested in. Thanks.

::) Stop trying to rationalize The SCRIPTURES against your current understanding, and let THEM teach you. Nick, you're not interested in what the Scriptures say! You are credulously fooled by thinking the WORD OF GOD is written in English, and you are frustrated, by trying to decipher HIS MYSTERIES within the confines and hard-lines of the English BIBLE alone. The BIBLE was not written in Old English! ...Well good-luck Nick. I do hope you continue your search. But, until your heart is humbled, Knowledge and Wisdom can not take root, and of course ...even this is, will be, ...in HIS time. :)

Nick, many people believe that "spare the rod, spoil the child," is speaking of disciplining your children with a cane, belt or some such "beating" device! But, it isn't. A shepherd's rod is used to direct, lead as in "lead by example", or to put it plainly... To Guide. So, is HIS purpose for judgement really, truly going to be based on "love it or burn"?.........is it "that simple"? Just finish reading the LOF series. ;) Should a "good and loving" parent beat the-hell-out-of their child, simply to enforce their dominion over them? Or, is it possible that a GOOD parent will simply LOVE and GUIDE their offspring, and when needed, CORRECT (Chastise) them. Our FATHER will wash the hell out of all of us for sure, but in (spiritual) fire and with (spiritual) brimstone. But, HIS JUDGEMENTS serves a purpose (torture is the antithesis to MERCY!) Now, it is that simple.

cjwood:
that's longhorn's head that exploded. again. he's not from n.y. he from texas. the "ny" should be "my". but, longhorn always gets it back together again. just like humpty dumpty. kind of like his brain swirled trying to comprehend what nick was saying, until his head just exploded.
we love our longhorn.
