i posted this in the other one (Innocents in Hell, Guilty in Heaven?)
but i will ask it here as well
quote:
(me)
if i take a new born and keep them in a room with no contact to the out side, and as he grow up teach him all i thank he should learn and let him know nothing about any god at all ect.... then kill him could god send him to hell.
(i would never do anything like that. THe man in the box is like the people that live with 0 contact with any people have no way of knowing that the "Black Goat" is not the real god. So they lack knowledge of God or that of jesus.)
would God send that kid after 20 years of this 2 hell ?
quote:
(REI)
Is this really the time to prosthelytize? Implicit in your statement "and it is my hope that Judy had accepted the loving God who created heaven." is the statement "because if she didn't....", which is a really mean thing to bring up, especially in a thread about Hell.
Should I have responded to Percy's statement with, "and I sincerely hope that if she did believe in Christ, with all her heart, that she was right and didn't end up in another God's hell as punishment for believing in the wrong God or following the wrong commandments."? No. Why? Because it's not nice to use someone else's loss to try and score points for your side in a debate.
I thank that is the christians way of trying to confort someone, not sure how it works but i guess it make them feel better when someone that was dear to them dies, that they "know" where they are going (in afterlife).
(PS: Bah should have looked over it first
