Why would an all loving good dam people to hell for eternity? As for religious people fearing hell I saw a story about a priest that believed he was on of the damned. His church though did not support the idea of predamnation.>>>s234a
You mean why would a loving God condemn people to hell? It quite simple and after you understand it, you will see that this loving God is very loving and condemns no one to hell.
First, hell is a term depicting separation. Or: death.
In our case, we are separated from God by knowledge of who we are in the flesh. We are born innocent until we learn who we are in relation to God. When we do that, we find that we are spiritually separated (Death spiritually) from God.
Now, hell is a situation where before the savior had come, was a state of separation. A holding place if you will, where souls where held because they could not enter into heaven.
Therefore, in order to enter into heaven, those souls had to become born again.
The first birth, gave us the flesh, and the second birth gives us life.
God at a time appointed comes as like us, flesh, and corrects everything out for us, and enables all those who were held in prisons of separation, and us today, to become born again as new creatures able to gain entrance to heaven as individual souls with personalities.
We will all know each other because of our individuality.
As for those who don’t believe in God now, will: believe when they see Jesus face to face at their death; Not only Him, but all their relatives as well.
Now, is that not a loving God or what?
He gives you and opportunity to first exist as an individual soul, experience life in the flesh learning right from wrong, good and evil, learning to demonstrate love, and finally, giving you life after it is all said and done on this earth.
Wow, what a loving God He is.
Well, you say, what about the Hitler’s of the world? Where is their wow? Hey, we all have choices and some of us , well, we choose selfishly. So God uses the those selfish peoples desires to demonstrate His power to the rest of humanity by you and I.
His power is demonstrated in us, by us, by His commandments of loving God and neighbor.
That is a power that has no enemy. It knows no enemy. It is God Himself: LOVE.
If there is an enemy, it is not God, but our selves against God. For: there is not one evil thing in God of all goodness and mercy and power and might.
Yet: tender and loving, gentle and kind.
Religious people condemn because they know no better, as does the non-religious unbelievers.
All things are of God, and mankind can not escape it. Even if he thinks so.
So..............now, why fear death?
