Is that a veiled threat of violence? No Christians are even remotely hinting at violence toward you or anyone on these boards. Why do you make this kind of a statement?
Isn't it only a threat or violence if heaven wasn't a perfect place that all Christians want and desire to go?
As aposed to "you are going to burn in hell for all eternity"?
I would agree with that statement. I recognize you see no reason for forgiveness. I will pray that God will soften your heart that you do recognize the depth of your own depravity (equal to or less than my own) in th eyes of God.
I recognize that. And honestly? You're not one of them that I would consider a troll on this board. You don't make a habit of posting obnoxious, hateful messages. In my experience, you're a decent, nice person. My intent is not to disparage you (or anyone for that matter). But even nice guys like you need Jesus. I pray that God will open your eyes.
Oh dear, the hubris is just......I don't know, you're beyond redemption, Vizio.
I've never ran from an argument on these boards. Unfortunately for you and others though, I do have a life and my life does not revolve around your questions.
Then quick just answer this question while I've got you in between obligations: do you believe in a literal fire burning hell that sinners will be tormented in for eternity?

LOL, no, but maybe for some. That sounds like something a parent would say to a naughty child. Or a church that is entwined with a government would say to people who can't read to keep them under control. Worked well for a time in the Middle Ages.

Having a mind is so full of violence that one can't cope with the world unless he believes that anyone who disagrees with him will one day burn forever, doesn't sound like any kind of life to me.

Teaching and attempting to spread that depravity nonsense is one of the reasons I'm praying for the atheist who was raised by a fundamentalist pastor and subjected to hearing that as a child.
He's still trying to recover.

Do you really feel that describes Vizio? I'd be willing to bet Viz is quite happy and satisfied. I'm certain he's willing to share his faith with anyone willing to listen.

How about if viz existed 200 years ago. same guy/gal?
My point is that one accusation of violence (against a nonbeliever) is very pale in comparison to what is allegedly in the heart of a Christian who would believe that dogma.
A Christian who believes in that infinite punishment can never accuse anyone of threatening violence. No violence can ever compare with that.

If that was actually our desire for non-believers, we wouldn't spend so much time, effort and money telling others about Christ.
