Do you think that "Born Agains" will eventually abandon the "Hellfire" doctrine?

by booker-t in

i have talked to christians for years on this subject and they all seem more confused then ever.

some born agains have a hard time reconciling hellfire damnation with jehovah's loving personality.

the two just can't mix.

TTWSYF

um, [in the bible] Jesus spoke more of hell then he did of heaven I believe.

just saying

Where would God let people go who hate him and want nothing to do with him?

Someplace far from God would make sense maybe

The Wt. is right we are mentally diseased

we are mentally diseased in ways that most normal people cannot understand.

it does bare asking " what part did the wt.

have in causing this problem?

Tough to keep your sanity when they [the WTS] asks you to go door to door with a Catholic book and then asks you to bash the Catholics on their teachings, not to mention denying the explicit and implicit teachings that are actually in the bible.

Never made sense and it never will imho.

What kind of people leave and join religious organizations?

the more people get educated on the facts of any faith people will join or leave.. what do you think about people who leave the watchtower or what do you think of people who join the watchtower?.

TTWSYF

I ask because I heard a [former baptist who became ] catholic speculate that millions leave and join the catholics everyday. He stated that most who leave were never up on their faith and those who join have done their homework.

gay lobby in the vatican?

by Hortensia in

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-22869399.

look at the slant given to this news:.

in the days leading up to pope benedict xvi's resignation in february, the italian media carried many un-sourced reports that gay vatican clergymen had been working together to advance their personal interests, leaving the holy see vulnerable to blackmail.. or gay vatican clergymen have been working to overcome the church's hatred of gays?.

I'm not surprised.

Wonder how they'll do well with the boyscouts.

because of growing up in the jw religion we heared and read many experiences and encouragement for lying when nesscesary / needed for the theocratic warfare.

Do you blame Jehovah, Yahweh, God, Jesus, etc. for the corruption of the borg?

by Fading Begins in

do you hold god accountable for the corruption of the borg?

i've noticed there seems to be a bitterness, by some, that includes "god" in the equation, when discussing the borg and their policies, the governing body, elders actions, etc.

do the borg's transgressions originate with god, or does he feel the same disgust as we do?

Freedom!!! We all have freedom. The freedom to believe what ever we want to believe. That's why some believe in God and others don;t. but , of course, our freedom doesn;t end there, does it?

Hitler had freedom and people were free to follow him too.

Freedom to love or hate people, things, ideas or whatever.

I blame freedom, but what else could you do, remove freedom?
