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

I'm so sorry, Frank. I'd have to use the bible to prove my point, and I'd hate to offend you. But you don't really believe you have an immortal soul, do you?

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.

Frank, how do you know that there is nothing to be learned from nde?

Have you ever had one?

A wise man appears to be crazy sometimes and has to mere people a very strange behaviour...Wisdom is said to be a holy madness!
I think and firmly believe that statements like we have an immortal soul and spirit stands on,but I also know the unique formula for Immortality is held by the supreme doctor-God Himself!

See Jesus experience

I am just working on my own evolution and try to "satisfy" the central Being who is God.It doesnt really matter for my own status for He knows better than us who we really are. :wink:

I have no idea is I have an immortal soul or not.

And there really doesn't seem to be any good reason to guess about it.

In any case, I ask again:
How do you know the stuff you assert as fact?

Frank I feel sincerly you scepticism and somehow your sincere doubts about my allegations,but I assure you my words are true.
You must be a very intelligent man,because they have the particularity to have a lot of doubts!...
Have a firm faith in your own potential and you can win the favours of my Father,who is yours too!(Call him however you want it doesnt matter)
He loves everyone equaly...

Frankly, Frank; all I know is what I read in the bible. I realize I could be wrong. but I don't think so.
