I feel really put out when people misrepresent what I say BF. Just kidding....
You could proclaim Jesus by obeying His command to love one another and build each other up. You don't have to go around claiming you have some handle on Jesus others don't.
He does have a handle on Jesus that non-Christians don't have. He isn't claiming to have a handle other Christians don't have.to have a handle

My grandmother taught me an old saying many years ago...the truth hurts.
Have you not noticed Trout only criticizes and never provides any evidence to support his OPINIONS. When he starts giving his evidence, get back to me.

And why, exactly, should someone say nice things about a religion that supported slavery in the pre-Civil War days? That includes the Westboro Baptist Church? That includes James Wickstrom and Thomas Robb, and the Christian-Identity Church (closely affiliated with the Ku Klux Klan), and the Kingdom Identity Ministries, and the America's Promise Ministries, and Radical Traditional Catholicism.
I could go on.
Men, not Christianity supported slavery in the pre-civil war days. How do you know the Westbook and its followers and the KKK are Christians? They certainly aren't following the teachings of the Bible.
Not all who say Lord, Lord will enter the kingdom of heaven.
If that were true, and there is NO escape from this place, (hence the void), how could the fallen angels be there AND among us, in our world at the same time?
It could be metaphorical too, many people like to claim bible verses are not meant to be taken literally, so that would go for hell too I assume.
Where Lazarus went is Sheol, not hell. Eventually the fallen angels will end up in hell.
Since nobody but Luke so much as mentions it, I think we can assume that Luke made it up, so why should we give an atom of credence to this tale, or the opinions of anyone who takes it as telling us something factual about the way things are?
P.s For Trouts and Raffs, who may have wondered why I haven't been doing The Book. The answer is; I have, but the 'Satan driving out Satan' passage took a bit of work. But the results, I think you would find, are worth the wait. I was in fact going to post it, but since I went off the air and had to cranke up my Other Piano, I had to accept Wingdings 10 with the result that nothing works and not even with Flashdrive can I download anything, text or images.
Notwithstanding, can I please have that Extra Advance? I'm almost out of pipe baccy.
I'll send you some in writerly sympathy. I'm almost a decade into my Long-Suffering Historical Novel.
The problem is that a historical novel requires research for accuracy, and then research sends me off into tangents. One day my character struck a match on a rock, and I thought, "Could he do that in 1859?" An hour later I knew the complete history of matches (yes, he could, matches were greatly improved in the 1820s) but then it was time for a snack, then a nap...)
I think Satan driving out Satan in Wingdings 10 sounds intriguing. Will there be illustrations?

Well, if these radical Christian groups are not Christians, maybe "real" Christians ought to do something about it...instead of just sitting back and let them be mouthpieces for Christianity.
Is it possible? Are there eight year old children in hell right now? Here's a scripture to ponder:
Jehoiachin was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord.
—2 Chronicles 36:9
What say ye, Christians..
literal christians are wrong. just like some literal atheists are wrong.

seems pretty simple to me.
Yeah, me too.
There's "something."
But you won't find it in a book.
Although, some books provide glimpses.
