#Hell

okay but why are you worried about hell?
well the fear came out of nowhere
i’m just scared about going there
and never escaping
well hell is a very real place and there is a way to escape hell and that’s by turning to Jesus Christ
Yup. It's not death that scares me... it's what comes after. 🫨
exactly
that just scares me more..
It has very dry prose.
why does it scare you?
the book of john is a good start
you can if you’d like but then you’d have to live with the consequences after
isn’t god aware we make mistakes though
he is aware and he forgives us
we aren’t perfect he knows that
only he is yes
so if he forgives us why do we get sent to such a horrible place
because we sin against god
no one wants to go there
we go against his word and we don’t feel guilt
is god seriously that angry though…
well i feel guilty if i 100% know its wrong
i don’t know though
he’s not angry because anger is a sin but there’s different types of anger so yes he could be
repenting
i thought anger was a sin tho..
it is
it doesn’t matter what type of anger it is then??
how do you know
the bible says so and christian youtubers say so
If a YouTuber said it, it must be true.
there’s hundreds of bibles though
because there’s different versions but they’re all the same
how if some contradict
how do some contradict?
what about the one where he slipped and fell on a rock
no i think that one suggests his body fell and burst opened which is basically decomposition after he hung himself
you think but you don’t know that’s my point
i can’t just believe in something if it’s all about thoughts not truth
i don’t know what’s real and what’s not anymore
i’m going insane
the bible says Jesus is the way the truth and the life
i know i don’t know what happened but the bible says that so i’m going by what the bible says
and that’s obviously what happened because it says judas hanged himself
is that what the bible says or are you just interpreting it how you think
that’s what it says
but you say it’s obvious and to someone else it might not be
how might it not be obvious?
well i spoke to someone else and they said to them it seemed like a completely different story
well to them it may seem like a different story but Matthew 27:5 says “And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.” and the bible is the truth therefore judas hung himself and his body decomposed after
i don’t see why it can’t just be way more obvious to people
if i could understand it all properly id be fine
if God wants that for me why doesn’t he help me
i dotn feel like i’m getting any help
i’ve prayed
because u haven’t reached out for help
i’ve asked
prayed?
i have nothing
well yea
i asked for help with it all cuz i’m so scared
more than once
i even went to a church and then left because my partner broke up with me
none of it helped me
it did help
god helped
because
if god takes someone from ur life partner friend whatever it’s because they’re not getting u closer to him
god took away my gf
a week ago
i understood she wasn’t the one even if she seemed like it
i understand that now too
but i still feel like im getting no help
i’ve been anxious about this for months
no help with that
just my girlfriend leaving me which makes it worse
i understand we’re all going through tough times and keep praying and try reading the bible
he hears you praying
the bible says cast all your worries onto him for he cares for you
it says the same about sadness anxiety and depression
and it says he is close to the brokenhearted
i see what you mean but i can’t just cast worries onto him
i’m trans too
that’s a sin
it’s who i am
i can’t help that
Being who you want to be is not a sin.
and thats a sin and being gay is also a sin it comes from the devil not from god
the bible says that
can i ask where
also i thought it was a mistranslation
because man and man is two different words
This universe is comprised of trillions of galaxies. Its scale is something no human can truly comprehend. If you think God cares about what happens on this planet - this speck of dust on the cosmic platform - you're misled.
If God created all, I'm fairly sure he has bigger fish to fry. He wouldn't care about you changing your gender.
Be who you want to be, Wren. Don't let anyone change who you are.
he does care about you changing ur gender he is all knowing and knows everyone and what we do before we do it he’s seen our past present and future and he cares about every single one of us
i see where ur both coming from
see what i mean i can’t choose
i can’t decide
nothing helps me
A good rule of thumb is to choose what your heart yearns for. Decide purely on what makes you happier.
i know that ??? will say no do what God says
so i cant win
i’ll never be happy if i do what God says
well you can choose whatever you’d like god gave you free will but if you choose god that’s great but if not then not i choose God and i feel better than ever but that’s my opinion urs may be different but the only way from the lake of fire is by turning to God
god will give you endless joy in heaven the bible says
and on earth
well there’s been lots of people who have said otherwise
and left the faith because of that
and they haven’t been happy all their life
being a christian doesn’t mean everythings gonna be happy and easy
You don't need to adhere to what I say or the thirteen year old zealot says.
Your life is what you make of it. Be trans. Be wonderful. No one can give you a definitive answer. I believe in higher powers, but the bible doesn't hold the answers. Least of all, answers for a happy existence.
Again, choose what makes you happy. That's all I can suggest.
then they chose separation from God that’s their decision they can live life now and suffer later or suffer now and enjoy later
i thought god said he would give happiness on earth
he didn’t though
that’s why they left
thank you i see what you mean i hope you can see how hard it is for me though
he didn’t to that person
if they prayed for themselves obviously not if they were a lukewarm obviously not
praying isn’t just asking god for things
it’s thanking him for what he’s given you and praising him
it’s not always about praying for own needs
it’s also thanking god for everything he’s done and provides
even waking up
u never know
i’m so stressed out that i don’t have anyone to thank
i wake up be stressed look online and sleep
that’s it
but u woke up today right?
so is mine
so God isn’t helping you either then really
im 14 yet i’ve tried to kill myself on multiple occasions
doesn’t matter
if he is or isn’t i still love God and wanna live a life for him and he definitely has i just don’t realize
i understand your point but if you can’t see it then maybe it’s not working
it does work but god works in mysterious ways
i’m sorry that you’ve tried doing that it’s awful
it’s okay
surely God would help you see it in a way that you can understand though
it would make it easier
rather than giving you unnecessary suffering
he’s not giving me that
it’s the devil that does that
god only wants good for me
the devil wants the worst
and ur correct he is all knowing but god is much stronger and powerful than the devil
because it’s not time for the rapture
and he’s waiting for us
God is waiting for us thats why
but again God made the devil if he knew that he’d do all this bad stuff to people
and he doesn’t want people to go to hell
why’d he make the devil
i don’t see that as loving
maybe to the devil but not to me
he loves everyone equally
and he hasn’t defeated the devil because he’s waiting for us
and the rapture
the bible says the path to heaven is narrow and few will find it
so that means most people will end up in hell than heaven
but again my point stands indicating if God wants everyone to go to heaven and he knew the devil would stop people
why’d he even make him
he could’ve made him elsewhere
and changed the rules
for jim
him
and he made us the same way
we’re just like the devil we go against God
yet we don’t ask ourselves that?
and u did let him
we’re all like judas we turned against god
yet he still loves us
i want to enjoy what i want to enjoy
i want to watch what i wanna watch on TV
i can’t do that if i turn to god
i have no life
i built my life without knowing any of this
also what happens in terms of people who have never heard of God
they go to hell too?
he reveals himself to people in dreams in visions
i’m not sure only god knows
and go ahead u can live ur life and do whatever
God isn’t gonna force u to love him he can’t he gave u free will
ur choice is ur choice
if ur afraid of going to hell but dont wanna turn to god to get out of there then don’t
that’s ur life
and don’t think i can pray and turn to him at the end to go to heaven
no because that’s blasphemy which is the one sin God won’t forgive which is rejecting the holy spirit until death
it says in the bible though that everyone is destined to hell right?
yes and the only way to heaven is through Jesus Christ because we’re all dirty sinners i’m no different than you
so again the ONLY way is through him yes?
yes which is reading the bible praying being a christian going to church and all that and the bible states that’s the only way to heaven is through Jesus Christ
what about the people who never heard about him they’re just like us
that’s not fair is it?
how’s that just?
i just think the whole argument falls apart then
they’ll never know about God and Jesus
we know that
they’re the same as us
so they’ll just go there
no choice
unless you turn to Jesus Christ and he reveals himself in dreams visions and even speaks so everyone will know about Jesus Christ the decision is will they follow him or not?
that’s their decision u pick ur lifestyle i pick mine
some people never dream about him
some people don’t know any better
especially with people who live on islands far far away
like idk north sentinel island for example
exactly and thats why we’re called to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ
without spreading the gospel no one will know
that’s what we’re called to do
but i thought God was all powerful so why can’t he help those people
the people on north sentinel island don’t know about it
same with all these past people in history
ancient people mind never heard about him
cuz he didn’t exist yet
but what if they do how are u certain that they do or don’t what if one of them had a dream about Jesus Christ?
some people don’t dream
visions
all of these people in history who have never heard of him that sounds a bit far fetched
btw i’m not arguing so i hope u don’t think i am
i don’t think that
ok good :)
and they could be in heaven i’m not sure
it’s Gods decision
he forgave judas so who knows maybe he forgave them too
i thought the only way was through jesus though
and the 2 other people that were on the crosses next to him he forgave them too
it is
did judas ever hear about jesus
and adam and eve
how?
ah here’s a thing about that
and god forgave the 2 people on earth he created and now they’re in heaven with him
so the sun and the moon
he made two lights
greater and lesser
moon to rule the night and sun to rule the day
and he made the stars also
would you agree with that
yes because he was before everything he is the beginning and the end
i’d say so because the bible days everything happens for a reason
in heaven then got banished yes
before or after
right so
and angels
if that’s the case
why does the moon not shine at night sometimes
same goes with when the moon never appears at night
that’s not stated in the bible at all
there’s no way anything could’ve messed with it or anything
gods plan was to keep those lights with that function
exactly it was made like that for a reason and only God knows that reason
God has never changed his plan
Gods mind and thinking surpasses our knowledge of things
only he knows that and why
so again
But God has never ever changed his plans in any way because Gods plans are perfect
if nothing could’ve messed with the moon
and gods plan was to make the moon rule the night
and the sun
the day
that makes no sense
god doesn’t change his plan
nothing could’ve messed with it
because our minds can’t comprehend that like i said God created these things for a reason only God knows and he made it that way for he knows what’s best
and the reason it doesn’t is because God made it that way and u might say why and idk why but God knows why and only he knows
my point is god said his plan was the sun rules the day and the moon the night
now we know that’s not the case
so he changed his plan
that doesn’t mean he changed his plans and the moon has phases where it only shows a certain part at times or sometimes the moon is just completely dark just because one was supposed to run the day and one was supposed to run the night doesn’t mean the moon can’t rule at night sometimes it was made like that for a reason and only God knows that reason he made the moon rule like that
i see what you mean
and i get what you mean with the phases
but
sometimes the moon isn’t ever
at night
like some nights it’s just never there
and i get that i’ve seen that too but God did that for a reason maybe something happens to it during that time because it happens for a reason maybe it’s because of a phase or something and i’m not sure why that happens
i do get what u mean i do
but again if it’s not there
and god said that was his plan
you see the clear contradiction i’m seieng
i do and it is i’m just not sure why it isn’t there but sometimes there’s more to something than what someone says so God did that for a reason maybe he didn’t say why i’m just not sure but he made it like that for a reason
see what i mean though, God didn’t say or make it clear
what he did say if the moon rules the night
but we know it doesn’t
so doesn’t that make God a liar?
not saying he is
but to me that makes sense
what i’m saying is we should take the bible as absolute truth
but we know the moon doesn’t work how God says it does
he isn’t a liar and exactly because we can’t comprehend what God knows for he is all knowing and it does rule the night maybe not all the time but it does and the bible is the truth that’s correct and exactly
i see what you’re saying
but God says it rules the night
but sometimes it doesn’t
so how can it rule if it’s not there
this same kinda thing works with flat earth. The earth isn’t flat we know that so why does the bible say otherwise
exactly but it does rule the night because keep in mind it also orbits the earth do there’s factors like that that’ll make it not always visible because of phases and it orbiting around the earth and can be hard to see at times
the bible says otherwise because God created it round and there’s tons of evidence to prove it’s round even though flat earthers tried to prove it wrong they were proven wrong and found out that the earth is round not flat
i mean in regards to flat earthed
earthers
they just say
maps
the four corner of the earth
indicating maps
and i get that but it’s wrong and the earth is round and there’s proof that proves it isn’t flat
doesn’t the bible say the four corners of the earth though
it does but it refers to the farthest reaches of the earth and or all parts of the earth
i dont undertsand that
it’s basically referring to North, South, East, and West
but there’s no specific place for those
they’re directions
not places
they aren’t actually corners
they’re direvtions
yeah but it also says all parts of the world or everywhere
can you explain that?
so it’s talking about the furthest points of the earth which is used to represent a global scope of God’s plan and hopes of a new creation like before Jesus was alive his mother Mary seen an angel which is one of the furthest points of the earth because mary seen an angel and at the time no one seen an angel at that time or when John seen the angels basically talking about everything Gods done and purposes for things and people will be fulfilled
it’s a bit complicated
it’s very complicated
but yea i’m just saying like
the furthest points of the earth
there isn’t any
it’s round
yk
it’s so complex
not really complex but yea anyways i’m not sure if ur still scared about going to hell try praying and reading the bible if not you do you
i don’t know what to do
should i maybe just wait
see if i get any help from God
i don’t know what to believe so i don’t know what to get help from but im open to it!
i don’t feel as if it’s right that i should feel bad about living my life as i am now
i do pray sometimes and i do genuinely want a relationship with God if he is real
mainly for the reason of hell
but also
he made the world
there’s parts i love about the word
world
he’s very much real i can promise that and true but also u should do it because u genuinely love him and wanna start a relationship with God
that’s good u love parts about the world
i love nature yes
i love animals
i love caring for my moss balls
they’re adorable
That’s good u love those things
yea as long as they’re not sins
i’m very very attached to nature
but then nature won’t exist in heaven
well
i mean i’m very very attached to animals
i couldn’t live without them
they’re a big part of my love and happiness
that’s good they mean that much to u and all animals do go to heaven too
well i’m glad
humans are animals too
and i believe they deserve to go to heaven too
i believe no matter what everyone should be forgiven
i know that may seem improbable to u
but it would make life so much easier to get through
it doesn’t but everyone is forgiven we just have to follow God and i understand
well okay, but why are you scared of going to hell?
because it’s a horrible place
yes but why would YOU go to it?
ur i get u
because i don’t believe in jesus or the christian god
so then why would you worry about going to a place you believe is fictional?
Jesus and God are the same person btw
cuz idk if it is real or not
yea i know :)
alr good just checking
whoever said that non believers will go to hell are lying, if you live a good, peaceful life, keep to your morals and be the best person you can be youll be fine
no offense but that’s not true
there is no "true" or "false" regarding religion friend
religion is a personal journey everyone chooses
i know that but non believers do go to hell
the bible is a text written by man, and are subject to the same bias
which makes even more sense considering the dark history of the catholic church
i am reading by the way a i’m going along curious
but how do you know that?
i don’t have much of an educated stance so
By God
because then he would not be all loving
but he is
he is all loving but that doesn’t mean non believers go to heaven
we’re all sinners that are already going to hell
he saves us from that
why would a non believer, go to a place absent of gods love if he still followed gods word
because God says the only way to heaven is through Jesus Christ for he is the way the truth and the life
the bible says so as well
god is not an allmighty lord in the sky which will banish to you to hell, it is a misconception
that is correct
but you misunderstand what that means
so how will non believers go to heaven if they don’t believe in Jesus Christ?
that does not mean that you say "jesus i repent save me" and all your sins are cleansed and you go to heaven
you have to live a life for him
and that is following in his footsteps, doing good, being a glimmer of light in a world of evil
exactly
not by praying to a bunch of old men in fancy robes claiming they speak for god
not by reciting words, because god speaks through the heart, and knows your heart, and your true intentions before you say it
and i know that
and living a good life IS repenting, knowing that we as a species are inherently evil IS repenting
so you do not need to "believe" in god, you need to believe in good morals
i believe it actually does say that tbf
🤦
i’m not well educated tho so please don’t come at me haha
the bible is a scripture written by the catholic church.
i’ll just sit back and look at what’s being said
the catholic church are people, people have bias, thus the bible is not a credible source
that’s interesting i mean the bible would’ve had to be written at some point
exactly
the bible is a credible source
not really, it contradicts itself a lot, gods word does lie in there, but it is mixed with red herrings
no it doesn’t
its strewn with biases of the catholic church trying to dictate the lives of people to gain control
God never lies and if he did that would make the bible completely false but he’s never lied
therefore making the bible the truth
"eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth", "Do not take revenge, forgive not seven times, but seventy times" 💔
the bibles you see arent written by god entirely, they were edited by the church
i know they aren’t written by God but how are you sure they were edited by the church?
because it perfectly correlates with the history of the catholic church, and contradicts the nature of an omnibenevolent God
catholicism is the predominant denomination of christianity
the vatican is the christian capital, owned by the catholic church
all the main dominations of christianity operate similarly
btw i’m just saying i know you’re both not but please don’t argue at all here :) one person here is quite young haha
i see both points btw
we're not arguing lol
