You are just mad.  You cannot survive inside Earth.  As for 'lakes of fire', where would the steady source of oxygen come from? LOL.
Does hell have in/out ventilation to the surface?

Yes the earth convulses or "vents" and volcanoes erupt and the earthquakes happen in many places.Don't assume it would be oxygen that causes the earth to convulse either. The Earth gets hotter as one travels towards the core, known as the geothermal gradient.The composition of Earth's core remains a mystery but yes as a lake is flat on the surface to your eyes on earth such will be the lake of fire within it.

BTW, the proteins in your body would denature at about 42 degrees Celsius.  Never mind the pressures and temperatures below the surface.
The temperature alone would increase by 25 degrees Celsius per kilometer of depth.

Irrelevant-Refer to point regarding your soul below

BTW, what is the soul made of?

The soul is not made of flesh. It is the individual spirit that is placed within your flesh vessel . It's what makes you "YOU" and not the person standing next to you.




I can see by your tone that no answer will be enough but lead to another question so I will leave it to the very God you question to answer you in full one day in a way better than my limited ability can but maybe Hebrews Chapter 10 will help your understanding of God's mercy.......all the way to verse 31 please.



Fire needs oxygen.  It is really an oxidation reaction.  For the 'lakes of fire' to have a fire, you (God/Satan or whoever is managing the place) would need to supply oxygen and remove CO2.  This idea is as idiotic as the rest of the Bible.  Please stop and read a chemistry textbook.

What is the soul made of? (ROFL)

Hint: We know the exact composition of the human body.

Roll Eyes "Don't sit with scoffers lest you be devoured". "Don't cast your pearls before swine". "Don't give the bread that belongs to the children to the dogs". An atheist who won't believe will suddenly believe when he finds himself facing the depths of hell but to save many the bother hell will soon be paying another visit to earth. Wink

Where do you think hell is?



You may find out one day but I genuinely hope you never do. The very bowels of the earth you live upon. If hell can be contained within the bowels of the earth in caverns of darkness while the earth further within contain a lake of fire and the earth itself is like a grain of sand among the spheres of the Heavens have you any idea how infinite they are and how insignificant we are? You cannot hear sound outside the earth yet light will travel freely through the darkness. When your soul departs your mortal body at your appointed time of death you will understand in far better ways I could possibly even try to explain to you. Sounds cannot be heard from hell but only by those within it however even light can even travel through the darkness of hell and those who see it should flee to it. Mock at your own expense if you wish but you have asked the question and I have no reason to lie or make up foolish tales that make me look like a ridiculous loon in front of the readers here (Yes I already know the things I am saying make me sound like a crazy person to the average reader and I don't enjoy being laughed at but such is life  Grin)


First torture that constitutes hell - is the loss of God;

Second torture - is perpetual remorse of conscience;

Third torture - is that one's condition will never change;

Fourth torture - is the fire that will penetrate the soul without destroying it - a terrible suffering, since it is a purely spiritual fire, lit by God's anger;

Fifth torture - is continual darkness and a terrible suffocating smell, and, despite the darkness, the devils and the souls of the damned see each other and all the evil, both of others and their own;

Sixth torture - is the constant company of Satan;

Seventh torture - is horrible despair, hatred of God, vile words, curses and blasphemies.

These are the tortures suffered by all the damned together, but that is not the end of the sufferings. There are special tortures destined for particular souls. These are the torments of the senses. Each soul undergoes terrible and indescribable sufferings, related to the manner in which it has sinned. There are caverns and pits of torture where one form of agony differs from another...Let the sinner know that he will be tortured throughout all eternity, in those senses which he made use of to sin. I am writing this at the command of God, so that no soul may find an excuse by saying there is no hell, or that nobody has ever been there, and so no one an say what it is like."

You are just mad.  You cannot survive inside Earth.  As for 'lakes of fire', where would the steady source of oxygen come from? LOL.

.....

The whole theme of the Bible is to get people to believe that God is saving them. Right after Adam and Eve sinned, God spoke about the salvation He was sending.

This salvation is the thread that flows to Jesus, where Jesus does it for God. And following this work that Jesus did, there is writings on the new life that people should want to live in. And there is the Revelation that shows what the final result of all of this will be.

Cool

..... I think you are quite a unique person.

Yeah, my buddy BADecker is a unique person alright. No argument there.
I don't know anyone that can preach more prolonged,(we are talking many years here) complete utter bollocks on this forum than he can. That makes him unique, in my book anyway.


........
The whole Christian religion is this simple:
......

Cool

Yeah, it sure is, simply bullshit.

........
..
1 God made the universe and mankind perfect.
....

Cool
Who made God?

........
2. Mankind corrupted himself by not following God's divine laws perfectly.

Cool

Mankind doesn't need a magic sky fairy to be corrupt. Shit happens.

........
...
3. The corruption would destroy mankind if not corrected.

Cool
Yes, probably. No invisible, imaginary friend needed in the equation.

........
4. God sent his Son Jesus in the form of a man to live on Earth.
Cool

Oh ffs! Do you still believe that ancient fairytale written by goat herders?  (stupid question....of course you do)

........
5. Jesus kept the whole law of God perfectly, AND He took the punishment that was reserved for all mankind for their corruption.

Cool

see above

........

6 The only thing left for man to do is believe it... believe in Jesus and what He did for us.

Cool

Yes the con artist Christian evangelists want the gullible folks like you to believe that nonsense so they can preach bible crap, be rich and fly around in Lear jets, funded by their (afore mentioned), credulous followers' donations. Dude, get out of the dark ages. This is 2023, not 1650  (random ancient year, when folks knew no better)

........
...
7. A person's actions in obeying the laws of God shows where his faith is, or if he has any faith. Disobedience also brings correction from God in this life. It often feels like pain and punishment.

.....

Cool

BOLLOCKS!   Faith is NOT the path to truth. But I know in your case, that's falling on deaf ears.

........
.....
Why all this? Because God is going to destroy the universe, because He doesn't like corruption. .....

Cool

Oh noes!!  I'm shaking in my boots because the forum nutcase has posted his imaginary friend is "going to destroy the universe, because He doesn't like corruption"

........
...... But because of His love for people, He wants to save mankind. The Jesus-salvation believers will be saved by being raised from death, and being taken to a new, perfect universe God is making (Heaven).

Cool

Oh spare me....please...

........
That's the whole, simplified story of what Christianity is all about...

Cool

Oh yeah, like I said above... simply bullshit (for the lazy, ignorant, non critical thinkers.... (like you-know-who))



But it's not really that simple in ways. Read the first 4 books in the New Testament of the Bible.
Cool

Oh ok!, I'll get right on that Bud!  ..............


And ateotd............ because of all this nonsense my buddy preaches (and many other reasons, ftm), it's why I'm an atheist (see my avatar)

To be honest, I was born in a multicultural family. some of our family members embrace different beliefs, including teachings about Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, and even the religion inherited from our ancestors. in essence, all the religions that I studied teach kindness, love, and be useful to your fellow creatures including nature and everything in it.

But by the way, I do not understand the essence of what you convey. I know, in Christian beliefs, Catholicism, Islam, almost have similarities. but, don't get me wrong, I'm not debating it or comparing it to certain religions. what you say, I understand very well. about adam and eve, revelation and the end times. it's just that, I'm a little confused by the essence of what you convey in this post.

One more thing, sometimes I like to read your posts and even your arguments. many things and points that I like from your post, but not completely. not infrequently, you convey about religion and beliefs. but on the other hand, you like war conflicts. I think you are quite a unique person.

I think the reason why you think you're an atheist is because you've got beef with God but deep down you know that God exists, you're just in enmity with God due to reasons best known to you, and for that you're living in denial that He doesn't exist because probably what you may have ask of Him for  ,He didn't do for you due to reasons you may never comprehend if you stay atheist.  Thanks

   I just say I have no reasons to believe on his existence and have some grounds above presented that point against his existence.

   It's the same situation that makes be very skeptic on the existence of flying horses.

   I'm very skeptical, but I'm open to any real evidence on the existence of god or flying horses.

   Therefore, I think I have grounds to say that I'm an atheist and not a simple agnostic.



It took me some time to understand all this long post. at least, there are many things that I should interpret and inspire. unfortunately, my time is limited for that. so I only read the colored text and everything else is cursory. whatever you say, in essence you do not believe in god let alone life after death. I can't argue as well as you can, at least not on matters of faith. this problem, is a spiritual problem, between me and my god, nor is it only based on guidance from holy books that exist from various beliefs.

To be honest, I have read a lot about various religions, especially the leading religions on this earth. in fact, we had our own ancestral beliefs before imported religions came and spread in my country. for me, religion and its holy book are just guidelines that in this era need to be revised. because after all, there are many things that become pros and cons between verse one and another verse. but in essence, how do we define God himself. and if being an atheist makes you happy, then that is entirely yours and no one forbids it, except for a fool who imposes his beliefs on others.

To be honest, my faith is very doubtful and even I am no better than other believers. but I believe, there is a big entity behind all human drama and contents of everything in this universe. after all, until now technology has not answered all about the secrets of the universe. whatever the argument, it will not solve problems and debates related to religion. So, if that makes you happy you have every right not to have a religion.

Life is so frail. Earth, even with all its death, is quite amicable to life when not aroused. But when death comes, it can be fast and without mercy.


Where Will You Spend Eternity?



https://newswithviews.com/where-will-you-spend-eternity/
During the Monday Night Football game between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Buffalo Bills on January 2, 2023, millions of viewers watched in dismay and horror as one of the players collapsed on the field and was unresponsive after making a routine tackle. Damar Hamlin, a 24-year-old safety for the Buffalo Bills, suffered a cardiac arrest and was rushed to the hospital in critical condition. He was later revived and has recovered sufficiently to return home to Buffalo, New York. It is uncertain whether he will be able to play football again.

...

Normalcy bias describes the tendency for people to believe that things will always go on as they did before, and to therefore underestimate or diminish the likelihood of great changes or calamities. The apostle Peter talked about this attitude in 2 Peter 3:3-9, describing those who held it as failing to realize the divine judgments of the past such as The Great Flood, and those to come on the present heavens and earth. But the patience of God is demonstrated in His delay of judgment in order for sinners to come to repentance and believe in Jesus.

Like the more than 1,500 souls who perished on the RMS Titanic, we are all on a sinking ship taking us to the grave. Like Damar Hamlin, we are all one heartbeat away from eternity.

None of us can guarantee our next breath, never mind whether we will make it to the end of the day. We should keep in mind the frailties of life and how they can change suddenly without warning and consider what we do in the light of eternity. Where you spend eternity is answered by whether you believe on the Lord Jesus Christ (John 3:16) or not. Today, if you hear God’s voice, do not harden your heart (Hebrews 3:15, 4:6-7).

I spread my genes.. my job is done.
I now have a legacy.... like all my ancestors, who survived, to give me 64 plus years and counting of existence on this planet. To them, I am eternally grateful and say thank you for surviving
a life much harder than mine. I will never thank some stupid imaginary sky fairy dreamed up by ancient folk who knew no better, because ancient times, so I don't blame them.
I do however in this day and age of science and understanding of our world, blame idiots who know better, who perpetually propagate, for whatever reason (usually money, power),
these retarded ancient superstitious beliefs of sky fairies and call it "faith" (aka religion, the biggest hoax ever pulled on mankind, no matter what flavor), for a huge amount of wrongness in our world today.

ATEOTD... It's why I'm an atheist and if everyone else on this planet was, we could be in a far better place.
Not in my lifetime, but inevitably, this religion scourge will be discarded to the relics of history where it belongs.

^^^ But everybody has religion. Such is natural, even if it is a religion of atheism. Also, a 'God' religion is the way billions of people believe in their religion right now. And looking at the religions back thousands of years, most of the people believed in God or gods.

If it takes a lot of realistic thinking to determine if God exists or not, but one had better find out for sure. Because if He exists, He might be wanting some worship... or else.

This is just an emotion, not an opinion. You don't know if they really knew God existed or not. The most important thing is that they are convinced of its existence. Many have heard of its existence but may not be convinced of it. Or perhaps they did not find sufficient evidence to prove its existence. Just because you don't believe in the existence of God doesn't mean you haven't heard that he can actually exist.

Well, that just goes to show you, by your own admittance, that you don't really know how the universe works. The sun doesn't come up in the morning. Rather, the Earth turns so that a different section of it faces the sun.

So, learn a little science so that you can stop spouting magic. All you are proving is that your atheism is a religion.

Here ya go..... nom nom nom nom!!.  You're welcome!
Carry on now, as I'm sure you will. Hey, do you have a paying job outside of posting claptrap all day?? Just curious. I do. I'll even tell you about it, if you want.

ateotd .... it's why I'm an atheist... so I can mock silly folks like you. Its like shooting fish in a barrel.

Of course I want you to bite. That's why people get dentures when they lose their teeth. Makes it a lot easier on your digestive system to bite and chew your food instead of swallowing it whole.

The point is, whatever your religion, atheist or other, God wants you to be saved. He didn't make you just to be destroyed. But if you want it badly enough, He'll give it to you.

Consider. You are one of His works of art. Like as no two snowflakes are the same, there is only one of you. God loves you for what you are, and the only thing that can take you out of His loving hands is you yourself.

Just remember. Once you are finally really out of God's loving hands, there will be no way back in. God is long-suffering. His mercy is great. But His justice will prevail.

Being a Christian isn't about making heaven or going to heaven please let's not limit Christianity to heaven because in revelation we find out that God himself will come down and dwell amongst men eternally so when we christians talk about heaven it usually about the 1000 millennial reign of Christ when the antichrist takes over the world by then those of us that are raptured taken up will be there in heaven waiting for the 2nd judgement.
During this period those who don't believe in Christ will be given a second chance to repent to join us if not.... Sorry will be thier case because eternal damnation awaits them..... Accept Jesus Christ now and join us to enjoy a glorious life eternally....

Isaiah, Peter, and Revelations all talk about the fact of the New Heavens and the New Earth... with the old ones having passed away. Isaiah even says that this old one will not be remembered or brought to mind. So, there really IS only Heaven for the Christian.

God, Himself, IS here in the form of Christians, right now. John 17 Jesus prayed that He, his disciples, and all Christians would be one with God. Saint Paul says it in two places. The present is God's rule on Earth, through His people.

The 1000 years is figurative. Moses shows it in Psalm 90. Peter says it straight out when he says that a thousand years is as a day, and a day as a thousand years. In other words, the thousand years in Revelation is a long period of time where God rules the earth... through His people... through Jesus, because everything has been given by God over to the authority of Jesus.

Your second chance to repent is an extreme limitation. All people have many chances to repent. What's the difference between having many chances to repent, and then one more chance. And why aren't ALL the dead from the beginning being given this last chance?

The whole millennial idea is designed to take the focus off Jesus and right now. When you are dead, it's too late. Any of us could die any minute. Consider how fast death came for many in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. No chance to even think. No more chances.
