I suggest you read his post for clarification so that you may draw out your own conclusion and not be influence in any way by others. :wink:

shibboleth:
Before the crash and all the old posts were lost, Brandon would post disagreements about eternal torture of mankind. He truly believes all people who don't believe accept Christ in this life, go to hell.
Why don't you read Rays Part C series on where the doctrine of eternal punishment came from. It didn't come from the Bible.
Please answer these questions, Brandon.
If hell is real, why didn't God mention it to Adam and Eve? All God said is they would die, not go to a pit forever to be burned and tortured.
If hell is real, why didn't Moses, Abraham, Joshua, Jacob, Isaac etc talk about it.
If hell is real, why is the only punishment ever mentioned in the OT to be carried out here on this earth? There is no hint anywhere in the OT of an eternal punishment.
If hell is real, why isn't the OT just full of stories about people who went there and what would happen to you if you didn't walk the right path?
To warn people over and over again about the punishment here on earth for sin, and for God to be silent about the punishment in the hereafter, seems cruel and unusual to me.
Please find me 10 scriptures in the OT, Brandon, that state God will send people to an endless torture chamber called hell.

your not alone on this ill feeling of his spirit, he is just being given enough rope, figures he wants to be a cowboy and lasso himself with it... :)
but even though broken brandon has this privillage to speak his peace as we all do, as i remeber Deenis stated this can help us understand what we are going up against in the real world and many confrontations like these are coming. (((i probably did not say it as well as he did)))
but i understood it as a test of our tolerance and patience.

There are many in here that feel as you do , as i am one of them.
And many in here hold the truths God have shown to us at a high value, and would not let some come in here and steal it away from us so easily.
Our focus on God and our growth in spirit, is what brings us into a felowship of truth and love for one another.
As we learn not to be idle no longer, will the tolerance be as high as before, but our love for those who still cling unto the babylon spirit is still there ever so stronger for them all.
