And if you read my post, you see that I don't say this is a Christian forum. I said it is a forum on Christianity, don't know why people have such a tough time reading.
What you seem not to grasp is the very IDEA of an eternal Hell is a concept so abominable to a God who IS agape love that its origin in the vengeful minds of men is unmistakable. But you do NOT test the Spirit of anything you find in the Bible because of the man-made "doctrine of demons" that the Bible is 100% the word of God, which is preposterous. The contradictions, inconsistencies, and absolute corruptions of the nature of God are legion in opposition to the TRUE NATURE of God revealed unambiguously by Jesus. The Gospel of Jesus is unrecognizable in the "precepts and doctrines of men" created from that abominable "doctrine of demons." It is why the majority mainstream churches are the anti-Christ apostates we were warned about for these "latter days." The Holy Spirit of agape love (Who IS God) is missing from mainstream Christianity.
There is only perceived hostility because you identify so strongly with your apostate anti-Christ beliefs that you feel YOU are being attacked when they are rebuked and rebutted by the "Agape Love of Christ" that you force into second-class status in favor of your BELIEFS about God and Jesus and sin. This is quite ironic because God is not counting our sins against us, but you focus almost entirely on them. Why is that???
What is a demonic doctrine is that the Bible isn't trustworthy. You're not the first one to question it. It was satan that put the question to Eve aswell, "did God really say?.." making her doubt Gods Word, twisting it to make her believe his lie. There is nothing new under the sun mystic.
Genesis 3:1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
Genesis 3:3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
You see how bad Eve's short-term memory was? God never said we couldn't touch it, but satan already crept in with his lie that God was a bad guy with such restrictions. We need Gods Word constantly, to guide us as a lamp before our feet, and keep us in the way that leads to eternal life. Without it we easily get lost, our memory quickly fails us just as Eve's, and satan will lose no opportunity to lead us astray, make us doubt God, and corrupt Gods Word in order to do so.
Stop making up your own story mystic, start listening to the Word of God.

Amen. That is the problem we all have to battle, the carnal mind will immediately corrupt the Word that is Spirit if you let it. And He will not give His glory unto another (image). What they do not understand is that the Word is being made LIVING WORD in us, and to cut away the parts your flesh doesn't agree with, only hurts you, and ultimately those you try to corrupt with yourself. Peace

You know what's truly insane? The carnal mind. Which is why we are to be beheaded so we can receive the mind of Christ. And which is why I don't listen to the carnal mind in others, because His sheep hear His voice. But first you have to be willing to give up your own life for His, that's the icky sticky part of it that nearly everyone wants to slide on through. It doesn't work that way. Peace

That is not what I said.I said it CONTAINS inspirations from God and tells us ABOUT the Word of God who is Jesus, but it is NOT the word of God and not everything in it is from God or Jesus. That is why we have to TEST the Spirit. You cannot test the Spirit of what is in the Bible if you pretend that whatever the Spirit says MUST agree with what is in the Bible.That is not a test of anything. It is preposterous.

But that is NOT what your Bible says is our guide. You have made the Bible infallible, something it does NOT claim for itself. You have made the Bible God's Word, something it does not claim for itself but assigns to Jesus. The Bible warns us about the words "written in ink" and tells us that Christ abides with us as the Comforter sent in His name to guide us to the truth God has "written in the fleshy tables of our hearts" so we do not need anyone to teach us. You deny the New Covenant and pretend the Bible is God's word instead of Jesus and the Comforter, the Holy Spirit of agape love (Who IS God).

I am making up no story. I am following what Jesus has taught and demonstrated unambiguously with His very body and life about the TRUE NATURE of God and His motives. Everything I believe is in your Bible, but you prefer the corruptions and contradictions in the "precepts and doctrines of men" born of the barbaric OT beliefs about the nature of God and His motives.

I'm indefatigable when it comes to holding a mirror up to bigots and liars.
I see you for what you are. And I'll make certain others do as well.
You see nothing but your own reflection in the mirror that the Word is, and you hate because of it, and lie that you don't. Peace
