That is exactly my concern.

Re: Hell Bound? Says who???

Remember the preacher from La who was so vocal in his demands to get rid of Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker? He lead the charge and would have burned them at the stake if he could. But his judgement of them wasn't as severe as the judgement he brought upon himself. Yeah, judgement is a dangerous weapon. If we aren't careful our judging others often goes off like Barney Fifes gun and ends up shooting ourselves in the foot!

Yes.

As I recall the Bible says you will be judged by the same measure in which YOU judge.

Lord help me to judge with mercy, grace and LOVE!

Re: Hell Bound? Says who???

.... and wisdom. Lord, help me to judge with wisdom.

I saw a man on the job having a seizure. Some men crowded around and I judged them to be good guys helping out of concern. Good Samaritians. Later I found out my judgement was off. They were only helping themselves to the mans wallet and other personal belongings. Sometimes, what may seem right, might be all wrong. Thats where judging with wisdom comes in. And condemning others to hell is not what I'd call judging with mercy, grace, love, or wisdom.

Just some examples of the years I see quite often.

My question is where does anyone feel they have the right to say anyone is going to hell? Has God told them someone was going to hell based on THEIR interpretations?

You may BELIEVE with all your heart you have the right interpretation AND according to YOUR interpretation that would send anyone to hell, for whatever reason you may have come up with.

But I would strongly urge you to leave hell bound to scriptures that are very clear in that regards.

Such as all liars will have their place in hell. That is Bible. Not someone's personal opinion of the matter.

It makes me very uncomfortable to see "Christians" sending other "Christians" to hell based on THEIR personal interpretations.

JMO

Does anyone else feel this way?
Esther, I hereby nominate this as the post of the decade!!

AMEN!!

Re: Hell Bound? Says who???

My question is, do we still understand that condemning our fellow Christian does NOT include a trinitarian who calls themself a Christian, but hasn't obeyed the Gospel?

GOD BLESS!

I am not following you here. Are you saying it is ok to say a trinitarian is going to hell?

Pearson is right NO one is going to Hell it has been closed and no longer open for business. The Buddists, Moslems, Atheists, whatever.
Take Hell-judgment-damnation-death out of the Bible.

There is specific Bible for who is going to hell.
