Subject: belief in hell? |
Bible Note: EdB: "... and not yet be consumed." doesn't take into account that while our earthly bodies can be consumed by physical fire, we have little understanding of our souls, or our spirits, or how they would react to spiritual fire. Your preposition that "Hell is firmly established by scripture" is not true simply because it is widely held to be true (ad Populum argument). Such assertive statements, "you can not be a Christian and ignore eternal damnation as being factual" can be a stumbling block to newer converts. Don Holmes professes to be Christian, and doesn't "believe" in Hell ... So, EdB, you are pre-mid-post Trib? You believe in the Trinity or not? Is the Earth thousands or millions of years old? Textus Receptus? What? No matter what you believe, there is a multitude of others who will disagree with you. Pick a subject. But how can someone elses beliefs detract from your salvation by faith? Faith transcends our intellect, and doesn't require any signs. How all of us struggle in the beginning with just the "milk" of the Gospel. The "meat" of the Gospel, subjects such as "Hell" is even harder. |
