Snoopy said: Personally, I'm agnostic and can't grasp the idea that an all-loving God will send his one and ONLY SON to die for our sins. Why not just forgive us all? No need to send someone to get beaten inhumanly to death. Come to think of it, why would an all loving God burn at least 75% of the population in hell for all eternity. Not even the worse people that lived on earth deserves that. |
The idea of eternal suffering in hell is not biblical, but teachings from other religions like greek and nordic mitologies, were wrongfully incorporated in the belief of christians, even though it has no biblical basis. According to the Bible, when a person dies, his existance is extinct, his soul doesn't go to hell or heaven, he just cease to exist, his thoughts perish with him. So Christ also, according to the Bible, spent 3 days dead, extinct, not in heaven nor in hell.
But in the Bible, Christ promissed that he will ressurrect all the dead when he comes back, the same way he was resurrected (had his existance brought back from nothing) he will bring back to existence all his faithful dead. In the first round of resurrection which, according to revelations, happens right after he comes back, all faithful dead will resurrect and will never die again, but live forever like Christ. But in the second round of resurection, which will happen 1000 years after the first one, all the people that belongs to the second round will go through judgment, and the ones that are not approved will receive the second death: they will be thrown in flames and die again. There is no such thing as eternal torture for sinners in the Bible, they will suffer the second death after being judged, and will cease to exist forever.
