Everyone is going to Hell except me

I can see that they have good intentions but it gets annoying quite quickly. Is it not said that the road to Hell is paved with good intentions? The last part of your post reminds me of something that happened on South Park. They were showing a crowd of people that had just arrived in Hell and someone said "Hey, hold on a minute, I'm a devout Christian. Why am I here?" and the answer was obviously that Christianity was not the correct faith and so they get to burn with everyone else. South Park is great...

Oh of course, I'm not saying it's not annoying. I'd probably be the first to jump on them the second they start preaching.

I think most people get annoyed by preaching unless it is on a topic that they agree with, in which case what is really the point of preaching about it?

I'm tired so reading right now is a bit more difficult for me than normal. Would it really kill you to split your post into these funny new things called "sentences"? You know, those things with capital letters at the beginning and full stops at the end. Have you ever considered that God might want you to figure out what the right thing to do is on your own rather than running to him with every little problem and being a blind follower?

Thanks for retyping everything, I know that I have made the same mistake a few times of deleting everything. When I do it, it is usually because I select everything for a spellcheck but then if I press the wrong button I lose it all. Davy Jones' locker... Yarr... I agree with how you say people should worry about themselves. The world is full of terrible people and if they all improved themselves the world would be a better place. Unfortunately, some people will never do that and so we are stuck in the world we are in now.

but those new heavens and earth are figurative. the heavens prophetically refer to the current world government in thier current forms. those will be destroyed, not by any human, but by Gods apointed judge which would be his son Jesus (also known as Michel the Archangel). and replaced with Gods kingdom. The earth in this case reffers to those who follow those governments. These two entities will be effaced from earth leaving only those who are found worthy to be there, true servants of God. the litteral earth according to the bible will stand forever, not be destroyed. it was designed for perfect humans to inhabit. that was his purpose for it and it hasnt changed. now as to posting to same discussions without anything to add...i would have to agree. thats why if i dont have anything to add i dont post out of curtisy to those reading those posts. each post should have a different point of view so that people can really get a good buffet of different ideas that they can consider.

So basically you are saying it is because of the repetitive (brainwashing?) affirmations in the formative years that cause people to believe passionatly in the religion. It makes sense. And nobody can really say if they are being taught to believe the truth or not.
