If Jesus died to forgive us, then why is there a Hell?

NDE is not speculation. It has happened to far to many people for it to be a guess.

As I have said before; if NDE was nothing more than a trip through a tunnel and seeing a light I would agree with you.

Explain OBE.

Ask yourself this;

1. If you were God would you send someone to hell because they didn't believe in you?

2. If you had the power of God would you punish someone (send them to hell) because of their religious or non-religious beliefs?

3. Is faith more important than deed?

4. Is rational thought more important than blind faith?

er will someone pls answer the 2 questions i asked.

The soul does not live after death. When you're dead, you're dead.
Therefore, there is no barbecue (or conscious thought) in hell.
So the loving God cannot be accused of sending anyone there.

The promise of everlasting life on earth is still available to Adam's descendants, made possible by Jesus' propitiatory sacrifice, taking the place of Adam.
It may be hard to believe God actually loves you, especially after listening to my educated co posters, but it is true.

How do you know any of this stuff?

Or are you just guessing?

because some people, like liberal democrats, filthy queers, and anti war hippies won't accept Jesus as their personal savior.

Theists use that same argument, xingu.

It doesn't wash.

There is absolutely nothing reliable to be learned about death by coming close to death.

I defy any of these people who claim to have experienced this NDE thing to show that they were not merely experiencing an hallucination.

And I hope you recognize that because the experiences have similar components...does not validate them.
