Shame on you Timmy and MarcBee for making such a mockery
of my Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ! And for the mockery of those
of us who call ourselves followers of Christ. Shame on you!!
But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves
clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.
the Lord cometh...to execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of ..all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him. These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words.

Sura 5:72,
Surely, they have disbelieved who say: "Allah is the Messiah (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary)." But the Messiah (Jesus) said: "O Children of Israel! Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord." Verily, whosoever sets up partners in worship with Allah, then Allah has forbidden Paradise for him, and the Fire will be his abode. And for the Zalimun (polytheists and wrongdoers) there are no helpers.>>
And there we have it, Flamingoword, proof from the Holy Word that both you and I are destined for the abode of Fire: I as the wrongdoer, and you as the disbeliever. The Holy Text dictated directly to The Messenger of God (PBUH) is obviously more believable than somehow-inspired texts that then had to be reconstructed and collated from pieces of manuscripts (not one of them original) scattered across the centuries and across three continents. Apparently the reconstruction process continues today, some bible verses still being jiggered with ("improved upon) by someone among us here on AFF! So, see you there! I'm believing that the god will be merciful and allow each of us one ice cream cone, to last a few licks anyhow.

It's a serious case of bitterness compounded by an extreme sort of personality.

"Many Christians do not try to understand what was written in a verse in the Bible. Instead they approach the passage to prove what they already believe."
Leaving the rest alone, for now (hilarious stuff, by the way: you should do standup!), do we or do we not deserve eternal punishment? Why don't you like that word? Do you actually believe we don't deserve it? Does nobody deserve it? Will the people in the lake of fire be there, even though they don't deserve it?

BTW, I think you're the only one here that doesn't like my use of the word "deserve". Far as I know, they all would say "We all deserve hell". Argue with them.

Which reminds me of a plaque I saw on someone's wall (real wall, in their house ) with this scripture:
Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. Hebrews 13:2
Seems a funny thing to be so proud of that you put it on a plaque! I mean come on. That's why you should be good to strangers? Because they might be angels?
