If God is so loving and compassionate, then why would he throw anybody to hell?

Talk about mental meltdown, fear and anxiety, now if they could show the path to Heaven in such an easy and glorious way for peace around our world then maybe they could be onto an enlightened teaching that is not so dark and sinister.

So if I chose to associate with a particular choice and that choice decides to do something wrong, their choice becomes my choice by association? GOD I think they know not what they do, forgive me of their bad choices. Something just doesn't feel right? Maybe I can't repent for the choices of others? That should make you think of another question... Who can repent for the bad or wrong choices of others? Discussion topic, could Jesus die for the sins of others? Or was Jesus sent to show us the way and to teach us how to have a relationship with each other and GOD?

I like that being very simple, Thank You :)

YOu are only responsible for your own decisions and choices. no one elses. If you are in a group of those doing wrong and you know they are doing wrong and you go along with it - you are still only responsible for your own actions. You only are required to repent for your sins, not anyone elses. But if you do something you know is wrong, and you do it anyway...God will hold you responsible. Period. SImple as that.

Sorry, I thought this was a sincere discussion. My mistake.

You are not alone Fredrick, You are not alone...

Since the Bible has nothing to dow ith God, There is no reason to believe that is how it is. Since Christ was a human like the rest of us, although a wise and dynamic person, there si no reason for anybody to accept him. It would not be compassion to force anybody into heaven, but neither is it compassion to throw anybody into hell. It is not a question of worshipping God, but of understanding God. Since we are his creation and therefore we possess divine wisdom, we can know certain things about the divine. But the fact that religion has corrupted our minds and forced us to accept untruths as truths and made us believe that God is only such and such- Well, this is a very sad thing. It has closed our minds to the divine. To open the mind is a hazardous task and I know it is hazardous from my own experience.

Yes, Coast to Coast is our 3, 2, 1, First he said the Bible gave only two choices, then three and finally four with elaboration that from the Old were two and the New there were even more as he said there were many interpretations. Nest he went on to bash the Catholics instead of presenting true facts he generalized the object of worship and connection to the Catholic faith being the Mother of Jesus, Mary who he the blasphemed as being a bleeding heart. The love of the mother of Jesus is not to be attacked for her compassion. I would like to know how she could stand up and tell the truth back then to the power to save her son Jesus. Women were not given equal rights then even as now they are abused by others even the mothers of their husbands. There was a reason that I would not file charges against my wife, at least not until she personally and deliberately violated me again, especially if that violation involved the police and using our children as weapons to cause me emotional and financial harm. Now I will see her prosecuted! Poor Mary... Coast to Coast, You say that if you don't know and follow GOD then you believe in nothing and from nothing you will return. This could be very true, and you also say that you are given the freedom to repent, but not in confession all you have to do is pray to GOD. I think that you are wrong on this point. Please read your scriptures again, Jesus tells us to go to the person that we have sinned against and to them we are to ask for forgiveness and we are to pray to GOD to seal our pact of repentance along with making reparations. Do you not agree with what I have just written? If I know the true path to telling the truth why should you make GOD out to be a contradiction for do you not know the truth? Please explain the truth for us all to know... You certainly are right about one thing people will be their own judge, and when you do see GOD on the final day all of your emotions will come with you and you will remember every detail and you will choose that you are either worthy and you will run into the center of Heaven to join that Heavenly choir or you will run far away to the furthermost corners of the Universe to escape your shame for all the people that you have violated. The curse of the teacher may apply.

Define Hell...

I think that Coast to Coast is another follower of Olav, now let me see, is Oliver around? Hey Oliver, we need a little Olive oil for this slippery peel that is as peels go, I think we are ready to make a skating display here.
