Any other Christians here who are lapsing due to the problem of Hell? The notion of eternal suffering for transient sins is an absurdity that I can't look past, especially considering the apparent omnipotent and omnibenevolent nature of God. Inb4 'God is of infinite dignity so any affront deserves infinite punishment' or any of those other retarded justifications

The whole concept of Hell and Satan and wtichcraft and paganism in the context of Christianity sounds to me like textbook propaganda

>Yes... yes, yes, MAYBE these other godly deities will give you extremely cool super natural powers like Dragon Ball Z, or make you rich and famous, or make someone fall in love with you BUT did you also know that if you do follow those deities they will also make suffer forever because you made the mistake or worshipping them?

Like in the whole context of God and Satan trying to collect as many souls as possible, this sounds like God is just talking mad shit and trying to cheat trying to scare people onto his side.

Why would The Devil or Mother Gaia or Thor or whoever send you to hell for worshipping them? Again this just sounds like some basic argumentative fallacy

I don't want to be more of a dick than I already have, OP, but eteranl conscious punishment is the way things are. You can try to reason your way out of it, but that is what the bible clearly teaches.

If you pick out whatever books/verses you feel strongly point towards this and take them out of the bible or try to reason your way to where they mean something else, you begin fragmenting God at which point you are no longer following Him, but follow an idol of your own design. If you don't love him, then so be it. He offered you a way out of Hell.

The default state of a human is opposition to God and self destruction, it is self evident casually from everyday life.
Final Hell currently does not exist, what exists is unavoidable noetic or spiritual desolation, something that you feel literally right now objectively. When you pass away eschatologicaly it becomes impossible for you to deny the reality of your state anymore, if you are in opposition to everything that is good you will experience constant regret and rejection internally because God is omnipresent. There is nothing that can be done for you because that would mean erasing your personality and turning you into a different person.
Upon the eschaton there will be a general resurrection of all of the dead and the final judgement, rapture doesn't exist by the way and is a heresy, everyone including believers will unavoidably suffer under antichrist before second coming.

european rituals and beliefs that were integrated into christianity were turned into gay evil jewish inversions of themselves

>european afterlife paradises are for those few who performed incredible deeds, with most people going to a neutral afterlife which is basically an eternal sleep, possibly returning to life some time later after the war of the gods, as in germanic tales, or just being generally an unknowable experience that isn't really negative or torturous

>christian afterlife paradise is for everyone, even people who did nothing of worth their entire lives, or even were incredibly evil, as long as they genuinely accepted a dead jew as their lord and savior, and hell is for everyone else including people who did great things, but were born before christianity came to their land, or because they simply didn't have enough faith in the jew god

What I'm saying is the truth. You can discover it for yourself in this life or the next. I don't want you to go to Hell. I take no comfort in that.

You should find a relationship with God. You should repent and believe the Gospel. If you don't, there is no hope for you. We are both guilty of breaking God's command to be perfect. I'm not a good Christian. Good people don't exist.

The truth is, I care about you and I care about OP. I care about everyone. If I didn't, I would have ignored this thread. I've said what I've come here to say.

Dualism does not exist, God and Satan are not equal agents, God is a pre-eminent fully beyond sequential fully beyond time uncreated eternal entity, Devil is a created fallen angel.
Satan is not trying to collect souls out of competition or something, Satan is trying to destroy as much of creation as he can before eschaton because Satans fate is irreversibly sealed and he knows it thus the only thing he can do at all is seethe.

The whole zionism thing blackpilled me on Christianity. I know it's anachronistic, it's not theological critique, etc, but something about 99% of organized Christianity being a big fundraising scam for Israel has just caused the rubber to hit the road; has forced me to contend with the various cognitive dissonances in my relationship with Christianity that I thought I could ignore forever.

I see Christians cheering for Israel blowing Christian churches in Gaza for a year, and I ust realize this is bad fruit--it came from a bad tree. I don't want anything to do with it.

>>23800324
You need to understand it is more than the physical acts of sin which keep you away from God. Sin is a choice of the flesh over the soul, an active rejection of God. That's what keeps you away from His kingdom. Fortunately God gave us the free gift of salvation you just need to choose it, no sin can keep you away from God if you choose to reject sin.

Hell is a pressure chamber one descends willingly into to crack themselves open to the light not unlike how a rock produces a flash of light when cracked open. Who knows what truly happens to your energy when you die. But seems to me it's more of a stepping into another version of yourself. Like deja vu. You haven't been there before. You're there now and always and everywhere all around. The brain is the cage with only a tiny window.

If it helps the denial of purgatory is a Protestant heresy. Some will only burn in hell for a time and others will burn eternally. It's best not to go, but pretending that someone who stole a chocolate bar and was hit by a car is the same as a serial child rapist is ridiculous and unbiblical.

>>23800357
Two reasons.
Angels are different beings than humans, they are created with fully noetic sense and vision and similarly in form they are near omnipresent spiritual beings. When an angel is created nothing is hidden from the angel and they are in full awareness of reality and God.
This is a concept that western theology does not possess but it is instrumental to orthodoxy, every agent is ultimately a prosopon, a person. Jesus Christ for example is a full human in every single sense, with fully human body and all attributes, but he is Personally the same person as God himself. This means that ultimately personhood is above all things such as nature and energies and personhood of the Father is preeminent to all existence. Your personhood is who you ultimately are and you are in full control of it because that is literally you, even your soul is just the medium for your personhood.
Satan was personally so prideful that his personhood was ultimately irreconcilable with God, in himself he personally seethed and wanted to be above humans, creation and ultimately good, this personal desire was greater to him than all of glory.
Angels since they are in full noetic awareness and do not have excuse of confusion or earthly weakness means that if they make a decision this decision is ultimate and with full vision and understanding of how entire reality works.
That means that Satan rebelled completely understanding and seeing God. It is impossible to repent from that because there is nothing left for Satan to see or understand of God, he was in fact a cherub at the throne of God.

Of the First Rebellion, and that proud Spirit
Who, fraught with envy at the Son’s high state,
Deemed his own merit equal to the Throne:
Hear how the Arch-enemy, by pride seduced,
Drew with him a third part of Heaven’s host
In impious war against the King Supreme.
Vain was their force; for the Messiah’s might,
Girded with thunder and celestial fire,
Drove the rebellious spirits o'er the crystal wall.
Nine days they fell through the sheer gulf of Night,
Until the burning lake of Tartarus
Received them howling. There, in deep despair,
The Apostate Angel lies, choosing to reign
In bottomless perdition and dark thrall,
Than bow in worship at the feet of Light.

Christianity originally taught universal salvation. That is to say, that every soul eventually reaches enlightenment and rejoins God. Whether that comes through learning in purgatory or reincarnation depends on which specific father you're reading, but they all pretty much agreed that God's universal love and inherent goodness meant that he would never and could never leave anyone behind. Origen even taught that even the devil himself would realize the error of his ways and rejoin God, as the last soul to finally become wise and humble.

>>23800369
He didn't choose to rebel in a human sense, as in he wanted to achieve something material or win over someone, you are thinking in temporal human sense.
His rebellion was that he personally decided that he wants to be above God, and that his sense of self is more important to him than the creation. The moment he made that decision he fell.
You can say it is irrational, but that would ignore humans in our very world who make literally the same decision of complete and utter desolate pride and destruction in spite of having every possible earthly good to satisfy them.

This is false (or partly at least), but again I agree that purgatory exists. Those who blaspheme against God's very essence will be damned for eternity. In other words pagans have a better shot than Ananias and Sapphire at reaching heaven for example.

>>23800332
God doesn't mean "divine living entities", it comes from "Deus" which means "the highest". So when Christian writings say to avoid idolatry and not have any other gods before the one God, what they're saying is not to hold anything whatsoever higher than God. Or, not to hold things like pleasure and wealth higher than the source of truth and virtue, if you prefer it that way.

Still my point still stands a lot of these "demons" represent a later work of fan-fiction at a time where a lot of archaeological discoveries were being made of long gone ancient civilisations, and the deities of these civilizations were being made and sold to people at the time in esoteric books full of these type of ink drawings, often only going on the name of said deity.
It's just woo bullshit really.
>>
>>23800375
Yes, there is no difference.
There are people in this world who do evil with full awareness of what it is, what it does, what the consequences are etc.
The ultimate flaw is that all persons wish to have a will that is ultimate, you wish that your will was always made manifest, that is a natural desire of being an agent but only God has will that exists eternally.
God offers synergy, through him your will can be made true in humility and cooperation and submission to God.
If your desire for your personal will is so great that you want it to be made manifest outside of God, this is a desire, than you are committing sin of pride.
If you haven't already, you will one day discover that some people are willing to sacrifice everything at the altar of their own ego just for the sake of it.

Compare this blind faith with the philosophical belief, based on every reasonable evidence and on life-experience, in Karma-Nemesis, or the Law of Retribution. This Law—whether Conscious or Unconscious—predestines nothing and no one. It exists from and in Eternity, truly, for it is Eternity itself; and as such, since no act can be coëqual with Eternity, it cannot be said to act, for it is Action itself. It is not the wave which drowns a man, but the personal action of the wretch who goes deliberately and places himself under the impersonal action of the laws that govern the ocean's motion. Karma creates nothing, nor does it design. It is man who plans and creates causes, and Karmic Law adjusts the effects, which adjustment is not an act, but universal harmony, tending ever to resume its original position, like a bough, which, bent down too forcibly, rebounds with corresponding vigour. If it happen to dislocate the arm that tried to bend it out of its natural position, shall we say that it is the bough which broke our arm, or that our own folly has brought us to grief? Karma has never sought to destroy intellectual and individual liberty, like the God invented by the Monotheists. It has not involved its decrees in darkness purposely to perplex man; nor shall it punish him who dares to scrutinize its mysteries.

giga redpill that people here won’t like
you’re right. there is no eternal hell. god won’t sustain the existence of souls that separate themselves from him eternally. instead, they fade away or are destroyed. thin about it like turning the volume of music down to zero. it might still be playing but it makes no difference because you can’t hear it. thats what happens to souls that carry too much hatred of god. also, god makes them aware of what is happening because he doesn’t trick people. that’s why there is gnashing of teeth and pain, because people realise what they have missed out on.

that’s why it is called the second death. it’s the real death of a soul in eternity rather than the temporary death of the body here.

That means our blood, not Christ's blood. Purging ourselves of vice is what's meant by "shedding of the blood". Us being shown how to live righteously is God's mercy, but it's up to us not to waste that mercy by living in self-indulgence and vice. Dispassion and detachment are absolutely necessary if you want to enter heaven, even if Logos incarnated 100 more times to die for your sake.

Protestants that throw random singular passages from the bible which is a church document composed by the church created by Jesus himself is insane to me, especially when we have direct apostolic father's who can first hand tell us what apostles believed.
Atonement is not substitutionary, it is in the oussia/nature of man. Christ in his blood sacrifice created a deified human, the second Adam, as Paul says "Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned...for as by the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man's obedience the many will be made righteous. There is penal substitution but the substitution is not absolute, it is in Adam versus the second Adam, there was not a break in trinity this is heresy, God the father can not separate God the son from himself.

Luke 2:1-7 (KJV) And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed.
(And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)
To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

Tonight we light the Christ candle. And long have we awaited our Saviors birth, again.
Has anyone seen Berserk. Remember the Advent in that? Miura knew something that is true in our Saviors advent as well, and that's that the story in which he comes into the world says many things about him.
So far in this story you have old faithful priests. An ordinary man from the line of David, a faithful woman going to be counted in the census decreed by Rome, some shepherds, a son promised by God to an elderly couple leaping for joy at the news of the Saviors birth.
But, even in this humility Christ's birth still couldn't prevent a certain king Herod from taking notice and making sure he holds on to this position and wise men, kings even, from coming to pay tribute.

Dude, Christians cannot agree on anything, including Hell as eternal destination or concept or as the death of the final soul (aka oblivion).
Christians cannot even agree on all of the 10 commandments.
Humans have a habit of being self-serving and trying to bend anything to their self-serving goals.

Everybody wants Jesus in 2025. Whether they are Herod, afraid of what his birth means to his status, or wise men that see his significance and humbly worship, shepherds that come to observe the fulfillment of God's promises, priests that have been waiting their entire lives to see him or his very parents who God has chosen to be vessels for the promise he made to Abraham so long ago, that he would bless all of the nations through his seed.
And we have been blessed, anons. Let us please remember this most holy night how God has blessed us and has remained with us and been faithful to us even though the world hasn't been.
Merry Christmas.

The suffering is for choosing to worship something other than the one true God. By falling into sin, without struggle, you effectively code your own pleasure or comfort or convenience over worship of God, the one who made you and all things. The point isnt to be perfect, but to struggle towards perfection. Even the most holy man after Christ is a sinner. His mercy is greater than all the sun in the world, and simply because God does as He pleases, we can't be saved because that is what God wants. There was a saint who said, "imagine the horror of a man becoming a caterpillar in order to teach other caterpillars and save them... That would be a knee distance than for God to become man and do the same to us. So glorious was His incarnation, and so unworthy are we, that the least we could do is lift up our hearts in gratitude" (paraphrasing).

The place of torment is isolation and distance from God. I'm sure we can each unfortunately accurately envision a true living hell right here on earth, but imagine the gravity of the final judgment, when the living and the dead will be judged according to their deeds. It's a simple thing God asks for, and it isn't much: freely come and choose me, and forsake the distractions of the material world, and inherit the neverending kingdom; become a son of God by adoption. The alternative is to clutch at the earth and die anyway, and then be judged as one who heard but did not want to hear, and didn't like what he heard, and preferred comforting words over the ever living Word of God.

It is substitutionary but not in an ultimate sense as in on a level of essence, this is something protestants just seem not to be able to grasp because you do not have clear distinctions of nature, energies, will and person.
God can not have an internal break of communion in between persons or in his nature, if you claim this you are directly an antitrinitarian heretic.
Christ who is personally the divine logos lived in human nature as full human hypostatically in union with his full divinity, the linchpin being his personhood because he is the same person and the same agent.
Christ, since he is fully human, did the exact opposite of Adam and became the second Adam in himself by sacrificing himself and experiencing human death which is separation of human soul from the human body.
In doing this and afterwards defeating death through resurrection Christ has substituted the fallen human nature in Adam with the deified transfigurational human nature in himself as Jesus Christ.
If you believe in Christ, truly not just in words, but if you put your entire being down to be in communion with Christ you are saved because if you are in old Adam you are fallen but if you are in new Adam you are icon of God once more.
If you believe in absolute penal substitution where it wasn't about restoring humanity in Christ as second Adam but about just punishment and God needing to exclusively pour out his wrath than you need to believe that a break in trinity happened because you believe that exclusively Father poured out infinite wrath on his Son in a divine eternal sense in the level of essence.

It's explicitly non-substitutionary, because what that represents is the importance of placing man's higher nature and rationality above man's lower nature and appetites. It's basically saying that only those who imitate Christ can follow Christ. If it were substitutionary, then there would have been no need to do anything, protection would have been assured.

God showed me the hell dimension. It's like an M.C. Escher labyrinth sketch that is forever transforming around your movements to keep you trapped in the same place forever. The people there are zombie-like and move in packs, everything is predatory and strange. It's like... I was in a mansion, and everyone there was a vampire, witch, warlock, and they had this incredible energy and force, but it was all from absorbing the fear loosh energy of the "newbies" they would terrorize. They would chase me and attack to instill fear, but if I didn't react they would stop and just kind of... wait for another surge of panic or for me to try and escape so they could chase me again. When trying to escape, for instance, I could see out the window of the mansion to the front yard, but when I exited the front door to get to the yard I had seen out the window it had changed completely... and when I rounded a corner to get my bearing the entire landscape changed completely again... it's a place where you can never get to where you are trying to go.

>You get punished for sinning but not an eternity in hell
You will spend an eternity suffering in hell, because hell IS the existence isolated in the darkness, forever separate from God's love and light.
It's ok if you have sinned, God doesn't expect you to be perfect and He will forgive you. All you need to do is repent and ask for forgiveness.
But yeah, if you refuse to accept his love and forgiveness out of stubborness or stupidity, then yeah, enjoy spending eternity in hell.
It's not God's fault, He literally did everything possible to give you an opportunity to escape that fate, but you refused to follow the one path to salvation.

It is substitutionary in Christ as in he substitutes old Adam. Then by believing in Christ and thus choosing to put down your whole life to be like Christ through faith you participate in the communion with second Adam.
It is not absolutely penal substitutionary in protestant sense.

Hell doesnt' even mean what you think it means. It doesn't have the connotation of evil, demons, punishment, fire, etc. The word "hell" is not Biblical. Its old English but goes back to old Germanic/Dutch HEL. It means "cover." It's where we get the words Cellar, Hall, Hull of a ship, Conceal, and Helmet. The connotation is to cover something completely up. The most accurate use of HEL is Germanic and Nordic where people were buried or covered over with dirt. Thus, they went to HEL or the hidden place covered over place of the dead. Or the HALL of The Dead. This perfectly coincides with the Bible's Sheol and Greek Hades. Sheol and Hades are AMMORAL. Neither good nor evil go there. So it means that's where the dead go in general.

Pagans invented it hell, The Catholic Church adopted it. In the OT wherever you see "hell" the original word is She'ol. She'ol is just the common grave of mankind. In the NT, wherever you see the word "hell" the original word is Hades. It is also just the grave of mankind.

So there are two kinds of hells in the Bible.

One is temporary
>hades
>She'ol

One is permanent
>Gehenna
>Lake of Fire

When Jesus is quoted as saying "hell" it is actually Gehenna. Gehenna means "Valley of Hinnom." It was a garbage dumb that was lit on permanent fire with sulfur. They threw trash in it. When they executed criminals they threw there bodies in it as well. If the bodies slipped out the worms would get it. Thus, Gehenna represents total annihilation with no escape and no memory.

Those in Hades/She'ol are waiting to be resurrected and it's for everyone who has died. Those in Gehenna/Lake of Fire are destroyed permanently. No resurrection for them. THIS is for bad people. Because of the over-generalized translation of "hell" everywhere nobody can understand the truth about death and resurrection

The Bible teaches that the dead are unconscious and go back to oblivion, or non-existence.

>Isaiah 38:18,19 - 18 For it is not She´ol that can laud you; death itself cannot praise you. Those going down into the pit cannot look hopefully to your trueness. The living, the living, he is the one that can laud you, Just as I can this day.

>Psalms 6:5 - For in death there is no mention of you; In Sheol who will laud you?

>Psalms 88:10 - For those who are dead will you do a marvel? Or will those impotent in death themselves arise, Will they laud you? Selah.

>Psalms 146:4 - His spirit goes out, he goes back to his ground; In that day his thoughts do perish.

>Psalm 88:12 - Will a marvel by you be known in the darkness itself, Or your righteousness in the land of oblivion?

>Psalms 115:17 - 17 The dead themselves do not praise Jah, Nor do any going down into silence.

>(Ecclesiastes 3:18-20) I, even I, have said in my heart with regard to the sons of mankind that the [true] God is going to select them, that they may see that they themselves are beasts. 19 For there is an eventuality as respects the sons of mankind and an eventuality as respects the beast, and they have the same eventuality. As the one dies, so the other dies; and they all have but one spirit, so that there is no superiority of the man over the beast, for everything is vanity. 20 All are going to one place. They have all come to be from the dust, and they are all returning to the dust.

>Ecclesiastes 9:5,6 - 5 For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages, because the remembrance of them has been forgotten. 6 Also, their love and their hate and their jealousy have already perished, and they have no portion anymore to time indefinite in anything that has to be done under the sun.

There is no hell in the Bible. Only going back to the grave. This is God's opinion on burning people alive.

>Jeremiah 19:5 - And they built the high places of the Baal in order to burn their sons in the fire as whole burnt offerings to the Baal, something that I had not commanded or spoken of, and that had not come up into my heart.”’

>Jeremiah 32:35 - Furthermore, they built the high places of Baal that are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, in order to make their sons and their daughters pass through [the fire] to Molech, a thing that I did not command them, neither did it come up into my heart to do this detestable thing, for the purpose of making Judah sin.’

>Jeremiah 7:31 - And they have built the high places of Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, in order to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire, a thing that I had not commanded and that had not come up into my heart.’

God admitted three times up above he would never command anyone to do that nor would he ever think of doing that himself. If God created hell that would make God a huge hypocrite because he is doing it on a grander scale. However, God doesn't burn people alive in any way. He lets them die and cease to exist. So if you refuse to submit to God than you will go to oblivion, not hell

I see what you mean about substituting Adam, I'd agree with that. The desert fathers describe Christ's death as an inversion of the fall, wherein he defeats death by allowing it to eat what it can't digest. But he doesn't and can't substitute for us, which is what that other anon seems to be implying. Each of us is responsible for our own salvation, by exercising detachment and dispassion, or making ourselves an imitation of Christ insofar as it's possible for us.

What kind of misunderstanding of hell (and suffering) are you all laboring under?
From my understanding, "sin" means "to turn away from God".
If you completely turn away from him, you are choosing, effectively, "I don't want to be with you". After all, if you did, you would strive to keep his commandments.
I think so far most are still with me.

1. Hell itself isn't so much fire and brimstone and the kind of suffering portrayed in Dante's inferno, but rather being excluded from God's presence and grace in the afterlife.
Judgement happens, during which you feel the full weight of God, and then afterwards it's basically a "well... this is it, now. Forever."
If I had to give a shitty metaphor it would be like basking in the sun and enjoying a wonderfuul catnap only to then be thrust into a dark room knowing you will never sunbathe again.
2. The second understanding I have of it, is simple non-existence. If God is Life, and you chose to turn away from God, you effectively chose to turn away from Life, and thus you will experience the True Death.
What messes with me is that this second explanation is basically an inverted Buddhism belief (whereas no longer existing is bad instead of good).

I don't think it's "hehe you're going to be poked with this cattle iron forever"

>>23800359
This is almost an entirely US specific evangelical protestantism, wrought by the Jews for the precise dual pronged purpose of enriching themselves while turning those sensitive to the absurdity (like yourself) away from the Faith.
I'm sorry to say but you're reacting precisely as the jews want with this mindset.
200, even 100 years ago this wasn't a problem, ergo it's not "Christianity" that's the problem, it's the taint of judaism encroaching upon our culture.

i would call you a bullshit artist but you are 100% correct that there is no time in hell or heaven. that’s one of the few (very few) things god revealed to me directly. it’s useful to keep in mind because anyone who talks about heaven or hell in terms of duration obviously doesn’t know what they are talking about. they collapse experiences outside of spacetime back down into spacetime with actions in sequence. the afterlife is an eternal, single present moment. it’s extremely interesting how few NDEs or visions of the afterlife mention this which makes me think they are fake. any that mention millions or billions of years are totally fake.

however it’s ultimately not good to focus too hard on the nature of the afterlife as we need to address our urgent problems here.

It's the principle of the matter, not the result.
Why would a man leave his wife just because she cheated on him if he knows it will mean a life spent alone? To him, it's the less intolerable choice.
Alternatively, why does a man dissatisfied with the current political situation in the US choose to shoot up a grocery store full of non political targets? Even they for the most part know it's fruitless, yet still do it.
Ultimately, as beings who can not understand either God or Satan upon our brief time allotted to us now, it's an answer we can only largely speculate at.

I've looked into this issue. Long story short, the Bible is actually very vague about hell -- the whole "fire and brimstone" shtick is far less Christian than many would want you to believe. Watch some videos on it; folks like Inspiring Philosophy have said it more succinctly than I can.

It's basically a dreamless sleep from which you never wake up, because "You" stop existing.

Most of you guys (including me) are already 30, and we have around 40 good years left, 60 if we take good care of our health, and probably 75-80 more years if we're really really genetically lucky. So on average, 50 more yrs. You gotta do what you gotta do in these 50 yrs. Kill someone and waste time by going to jail for 20 yrs, spend 10 yrs struggling for a medical degree but end up making $300k/yr, gamble your money on a business that fails and wageslave for 10 yrs to make it all back. Abuse your parents, wife, kids.
Do what you must.

Actually, that is what causes them in the first place.

Many are turned away from Christianity because of the apparent horrible nature of God. There are undeniable inconsistencies in God's character. But what if I told you that Yahweh was the name Satan gave to be worshipped as a god? All good things come from the Father, while Satan only steals, kills, and destroys. The "LORD" in the old testament is a mixture of Yahweh and the Father. You can discern which by the action.
Those who see Jesus see the Father. They are of the same character. And we know the Father is unchanging. Therefore, Jesus should be a vengeful, hateful, and murderous person. But he was not. So, there must be something wrong with the old testament "god." And Jesus says as much.
>Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake?
Yahweh sent venomous snakes to kill the people who asked for food.
Any time Jesus said, "it is said," he is taking a false teaching of Yahweh and correcting it. Jesus called the followers of Yahweh "children of satan," and the "synagogue of satan." If you read the Bible and think about what is written, it becomes clear. The Father hates death. It is one of His enemies. Regarding eternal punishment, it does not seem in character for a loving Father. I have not found anything that makes sense so far, however, I have heard the word used for "forever" in that usage is a mistranslation of "an unspecified amount of time."

The old testament is basically pure allegory, according to the original fathers. Slaying the Egyptian foreigner, killing the first-borns and drowning the pharaoh in the parted sea are all metaphorical. "The Egyptian life" is an allegory for the life of vice and self indulgence, so when their first-born are killed, that's meant to represent the fact that vices are supposed to be dealt with in their infancy, before they become full blown habits. You can check out Gregory of Nyssa's Life of Moses if you want to know more about that story specifically, and there are other early fathers who go over other explanations for what each story is actually meant to represent.

Exodus 6:6-8 (KJV) Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, I am the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with a stretched out arm, and with great judgments:
And I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you a God: and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God, which bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.
And I will bring you in unto the land, concerning the which I did swear to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it you for an heritage: I am the LORD.

I really want you to focus on his outstretched arm and great judgements. You've confessed, atoned, been forgiven by God the Lord of all creation for your sins except for the consequences in your material life. He tried to warn you anon, go to him again.
Hosea 6:1-2 (KJV) Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.
After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.

This isn't permission to go whore yourself under him again.

Much of spirituality and religious teachings are vague. Translation from ancient languages to current dialects makes it even harder. Men will disagree. That’s why there are concordances and prayer. You need to find the answers for yourself because it’s your spiritual path.

Orthodox teaches that salvation comes through the imitation of Christ. Through personal transformation and the adoption of the virtues. Nowhere anywhere in their teachings does it say you need rituals or organization. The desert fathers went out into the desert to practice specifically because they didn't care for organized religion and wanted to get closer to God personally through meditation and asceticism. Meanwhile, protestantism teaches that the Bible should be taken literally and at face value despite the fact that the Bible literally says not to take it literally or at face value.
>>
>>23800514
In some Protestant tradition Jesus is three things. He is God, He is teacher, He is friend. Sometimes you're seeing the side of Him that is God, when he tells you you're Satan for defying a divine plan you don't understand. Sometimes (most of the time) he is a teacher and leader breaking many things down. And oftentimes he is friend enjoying his time with you mortals. God always did seek out a personal connection with his people. He always spoke in a language they can understand like a human trying to be a horned worm. (They're so antisocial and constantly attacked by much smaller bugs and pecked away by birds). Trying to turn that mess into a decent moth isn't going to be without conflict.

What they REALLY don't want people to know is that anyone can participate in miracles, but Satan, crafty and genius, designed "society" (Babel) to be in DIRECT opposition to the pre-requisites of performing miracles. First and foremost of those obstacles, the most insidious blockage, is money, Mammon the demon. Money is the foremost thing that separates man from God, and yet it is the most ubiquitous and unquestioned thing in modernity.

That’s not Christian doctrine that’s Puritan nonsense.
The Bible doesn’t talk about people “going to heaven” or “going to hell” when they die.
It talks about the day of resurrection when people are raised from the dead judged. Christian eschatology sees the end of days as an ultimate fulfilment of God’s creation where everything is set in order in God’s perfect justice.
To whatever extent humans fail to enter the Kingdom of God it’s because they reject Christ. Not because of “transient sin”. The message of Christ is to repent and try to make amends in this life BEFORE the last judgement. Because once you’re dead you won’t have an opportunity to repent.
And what can be done about and unrepentant sinner? That’s not “transient”. That’s someone set in their ways to do evil.

the struggle with God is not based on loving or forgiving Him. it is about being who you are, loving and forgiving yourself with the help of Christ. We are all a fallen saga. A story with specific twists and turns. Peppered with regret. Enriched with mere moments of elation. God is all. If you reject all, you are less than nothing because nothing is what you desire.

I would not presume to understand what every non-denominational or denominational Christian believes. Salvation comes through faith in God's grace and personal relationship with Jesus.
The Bible does not say if it should be taken literally or not. Salvation does not come through memorizing the Bible nor venerating it as some idol. If someone take the Bible as the literal word, then that is up to them. Christians cannot even agree on the Bible canon, version, translation, etc, so that is a whole gigantic topic in of itself.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the Bible doesn't mention eternal torture anywhere.

It says "the punishment is everlasting" but that could literally mean anything. Maybe your death is forever, since the Bible mentions the second death/destruction often. The guys that get burned, are those that worship the beast.

And as far as I know, only the devil, Antichrist and the false prophet and fallen angels will be tormented day and night forever.

I think in the book of Enoch, when he sees the punishment of an angel, he gets really anxious because that fallen angel was burning as a punishment. He thought, similar to you, that it was horrendous, but the angel that guided him and explained things to him was confused by his anxiety. To the Angel this was perfectly appropriate, anything else would be ridiculous. It's been a while so I could be wrong by misremembering. But that's the gist of it

In Hebrew sin is identified as chata which is to miss the mark/to fail or as Avon which is to transgress.
Therefore there are two main ways to view sin, the primary way to view sin is to fail the goal which is to be the image of God, this image of course is incarnate as Christ himself. Whenever you tarnish your image of God or miss the mark of what you are meant to be such as falling so low as to allowing yourself to worship pornography when you were meant to be the greatest creation in the universe, you sin. Sin against yourself and sin against God who created you.
Similarly when you transgress against another person, commit injustice towards them, you also transgress against the image of God and therefore God.
Sin of pride is dangerous and it was the first sin because it is very alluring. When you are in communion and are ready to give you entire being to God this is infinitely returned to you because God is also ready to give himself to you and imagine how much more that is considering he is infinite.
When you place yourself as the idol instead of having God as your center of worship and communion, you cut yourself away from God and effectively the world, your only result will be to end up locked away in your own solipsistic hell. There is a Georgian proverb
>What you gift is yours, what you hoard is lost
God is giving himself to you, so you should also give yourself to God, but if your "hoard" yourself to yourself you have no life in you, you didn't create the very source of existence, you are like a branch cutting itself from the tree.

The Great Schism happened 1,000 years after His time, the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. From what I've seen from "orthobros" I'm not impressed at their constant kvetching anytime the Pope breathes.
A few things I can't really explain is that the Vatican was funded by Rothschilds in the mid 1800s. Vatican means "divining serpent" and the Pope literally invited dancing demons into the Church, behind him the serpent statue.

I think bishop of Rome is obviously a valid Bishop and I also think that there might be a certain binding and loosing as well as confirmation of councils as final veto or final vote. But I can not believe in total papal infallibility ex cathedra and I also can not believe that dogma can be codified without councils that include the pentarchy and other patriarchs.
If Rome one day concedes total infallibility and takes up theological developments for universal councils we can restore church. But I doubt Rome can do that since it would mean to concede that papal infallibility was wrong in the first place.

I appreciate the well thought out response lad
People inherently know when they're sinning, yet their pride always prevents them from repentance. And it's important not to force repentance, because that'd be rape. God expects us to come to Him, hence free william.

Can you theologically explain "racism" for me please ?
It doesn't make any sense to me that God created such a rich diversity of cultures only for them to amalgamate as one in flesh physically. We are one in Christ spiritually, but physically we shouldn't lose our blood and culture through miscegenation and immigration, it's completely ludicrous and the Church has only shifted its stance on this after Rothschild funding.
Leviticus 19:19
The Church Fathers were also extremely "racist" towards Jews.

Fire is there to judge you, not comically torture you.
>But why?
Because we sinned, came upon earth, and we deserve to die.
Therefore death exists.
>But heaven?
Heaven is for saints.
>How does that comforts me.
If you are a saint, that it must comfort you because God has chosen you among all people to comfort you.
If you are not, it should comfort you because God's judgement is perfect and fires of hell are like mercy as God is so perfect it should not worry a person.
God decided everything and victory is his.
You and everyone, including me, deserves eternal life in darkness and emptyness and this is death. Rejecting that death exists is rejecting reality itself. Some saints among us, like Elijah and Enoch, might live with God but this is not merely "salvation from fires" but a higher degree of existence.
>but why?
God decided so.
God decided we are mortal beings like animals, as we made us so with our first sin, and God decided to save the saints.
God intends to save everyone and can do so, hypothetical universalism, and possibly all nations on earth will be saved at the final hour but that does not mean humans can not die.

Nations exist as organisms as shown in the old testament, they are often judged collectively because the collective of people is evident through the totality of the fruit they bare, this doesn't mean that each individual is guilty but consequences are often total to be final.
There is no reason to intermix because we do not posses the manifest infinite will to fix everything for everyone, therefore we take on only responsibilities that we can contain, self, family, organization, nation, the bigger responsibility you take the more is asked of you and it is a hierarchical pyramid. Ultimately Christ is king of kings and each king who claimed responsibility for something or someone will have to answer before Christ.
A German can not try to fix a Nigerian, that is hubris and pride. If they are to fix themselves as a collective they need to go through a long process before God and only God. Nations can flourish with God as the modern world is built upon Christianity and no seething or revisionism can change that, but that is something they need to do on their own.
By taking in these nations who have their own sins and ills you are not even aware of you are taking in the responsibilities and curses associated with them since effectively west decided to indantilise half of the world and act like their mother.
Imagine taking in middle earnestness who are still brainwashed in their majority by Muhammedean cancer even though they used to follow Christ and the few christians there certainly aren't comfortable, or sub Saharan Africans who were in the pit of complete tribal paganism and demon worship, worse yet in America the Christianity they have is billy bob's non-denominational church or charismatic schizophrenia.
This is why monarchy of some form is necessary, because you need boundaries so people understand that taking entire responsibilitylies of God to manage all nations is a sin of pride when you can't even help one small family unit.

Think outside of Christian paradigm if you want.
A being within sequential linear time will always have limited causal will compared to a being that exists outside of time this is not affected by causality.
All rational sentient creatures want to have will be instantly manifest ex nihilo, for all your desires to come true, but this is impossible due to the very causality you brew within. Only a being outside of time can have such will in this thought experiment.
In Christian paradigm God offers communion with him and he offers to share all he can of his eternal glory to us, this is the best a being in our paradigm can have because we can't become non temporal ourselves. A seething prideful desire to have your will be supreme outside of God is Satans desire, and many humans share it.

This is something I don't get either. What value lies in some read person overtly implying that someone genuinely asking questions deserves eternal suffering? Accusations of heresy are not a light thing, they are a direct path to the sort of damnation you appear to readily believe. What value is there in you deciding you speak on behalf of God, where you dismiss the countless Bible verses about trusting without knowing (i.e. the literal fucking definition of faith)? Being aggressively dogmatic has probably done more to turn people away from the salvation you believe exists than most other things. Does God truly endorse speaking to other people like this? And if we have some suggestion he does, how could that possibly jive with other parables also suggesting that salvation does not rely upon absolute understanding?

Sorry I'm not learned enough to give a proper response.
Eastern Orthodoxy & Roman Catholicism will join as one eventually before end times, even protestants will return which is hard to believe but the Bible does speak of a spiritual wave that will ensure only those left behind in the doomed world will be by their own willful ignorance.

Thanks again for the effortpost.
It's just really sad to see all the pandemonium and complete orchestrated destruction of just about every nation. It's also upsetting to be labelled a "racist" for taking pride in one's nation and cultural roots.
I don't really know what to make of history, when if you look at just 100 years ago at the World Fairs and our modern architecture it's completely demoralizing, by design.
We can't build Cathedrals 1/1000th as grand as our ancestors.
There are things we have been forced to forget, and that includes bloodlines of antiquity, DNA, varying breeds and species, authentic history, etc
Was everyone one during Nimrod's time ? God splitting the tongues and dividing mans kingdom. Fallen Angels then coming down, people worshipping them, sacrificing to them (many still do today).

I agree, but it is also our duty to take care of those lesser fortunate than us, like we do with animals. This is what the aim of Catholic influence of Spain and some Afrikan regions.

Anti trinitarianism is a heresy, as in it is officially and formally condemned.

As for taking care of those less fortunate, I think folly of Catholic church was attempting to establish temporal presence rather than evangelization with the purpose for locals to form their own Patriarchy. In this case I think it is better to trust the holy spirit rather than take temporal control of the region. Again if you take that responsibility, you also invite all the troubles that come with it, same way how a king can't complain that he has people after his head.

It seems to me like scripture points to anihilationism

either way, i believe God has infinite capacity for mercy, which to my mind demands either anihilationism or universal reconciliation.

universal reconciliation is a nice fantasy, but I would go with annihilation because scripture describes it time and time again, while universal reconciliation is essentially non existent
>>
>>23800587
There is an amnesia barrier between the various planes of existence. The people claiming that death is just a dreamless sleep simply don't remember what it was like before they were born, they don't remember their dreams either because demons attack them in their sleep and they choose to forget it. The spiritual warfare is constant. Some say higher beings come here only to be able to endure suffering, it's like a bootcamp where you earn XP through suffering, the more you suffer here the more resilient you are in eternity. After a lifetime of suffering you won't get bored with perfection, it'll be a relief.

This is a very brilliant point I hadn't considered.
Unfathomable savagery exists in most parts of the world and it isn't our burden to bear unless divinely ordained like various times throughout the OT.
I came to Christ through studying the Occult, and in Masonry this principle applies consistently throughout. The sins of the father can damn the future generations, and a lot of which never even know it. They have to go to a true exorcist who has the Holy Spirit to cleanse them, and they physically feel lighter and uplifted like in confessional.
The gumball guy demonstrated it perfectly, immigration only exists to destroy nations. I just can't understand why the Church is advocating for these principles, especially after thousands of years of fighting of our ancestors fighting to preserve our culture, now it's like we've all lost a World War without firing a single shot.
I don't think God is "racist", for he sheds a tear even when a gorilla breathes his last breath.
The National Socialist idolizes skin & culture over God. A lot of pagans are like this for some reason which is just hubris. The true Aryans don't go about claiming superiority above all, they simple are, as Christ is (I AM).

We do not bear the guilt of fathers, but we bear responsibilities, it is an important distinction.
You can not be divorced from God because your father is an adulterer but you will experience the fallout of it and it will affect you as the cards you need to deal with. This is both literal and metaphysical.
It is not proper to try and take on responsibilities that are above you let alone responsibility that requires God level of power to handle. If you take on something you become responsible for it via a covenant same way a king has a covenant with his nation.
Everything is built upon this effectively, if families are in order, if cities are in order, if nations are in order and if they exist together maybe even as a Christian empire then you have enough of a hierarchical order emulating Gods court that you made take one difficult challenges of the world like this, because ability of this Godly order to take on responsibility grows in accordance to the divine blueprint of Gods very throne.
If families are in disarray and nations are destroyed and kings become merchants what wordly charity can we speak about? It's like a person who cheats on his spouse daily and whose children are hungry trying to help every family on the block.

Not that you need my two cents on this...

I grew up in a Christian sect (JW) that doesn't believe in Hell. I thought it was just our admittedly fucked up version of the Bible that showed there is no Hell, but later in life, long after I had left the cult, I read the scriptures to find out about that. Turns out it's true. Jesus just talked about branches being pruned and thrown in a fire. Hell is not scriptural at all. It's Dante's fan fiction that the Catholic Church latched onto like they were Evangelicals it was the fucking left behind series.

Worshiping a God who would burn disbelievers and lapsed believers for eternity makes about as much sense as listening to what a God who drowned most of his children says about raising your own kids.
>>
>>23800505
The OT is both literal and allegorical.
>>
>>23800599
There is a type of hell but not Catholic Dante's inferno.
The patristic teaching is that upon death you spiritually experience noetic clarity, thus as you await eschaton without mortal obfuscation you experience either closeness to the heavenly host of saints at the throne of God mentioned in revelations or you feel desolation because your being is at odds with omnipresent God. This state is temporary and it is in a way stasis.
Upon eschaton there is general resurrection of all of mankind, and upon general resurrection you are judged. Those who are judged are either thrown into outer darkness where there is gnashing of teeth or join in the new reality that is new kingdom of God which is simultaneously a physical and a spiritual reality.

My main issue with Christianity is that I think it is a core human right, that as long as someone is not harming others, people have a right to pursue whatever will make them feel the most happy and comfortable in life. Including being trans or gay. It only becomes a problem when they try to influence others, especially children, to feel the same way they do. I'm ok with executing those who engage with that but the core concepts of just being trans or gay shouldn't be illegal and you shouldn't have to suffer forever for it.
Call me a kike or shill if you want, I consider the majority of my beliefs to align with natsoc but I do still believe in some degree of core personal freedoms.

I'm having a faith crisis lately. I think I'm going to hell because I masturbate, and I don't want to stop. I'm not addicted but if you aren't perfect, you don't go to heaven. And I don't even know what heaven is, what are we supposed to do there ? Everything is a sin and everything is evil according Christianity. And the pope blessing blocks of ice and being a globalist prick doesn't help either. But you aren't supposed to even question it, only obey. I don't know why God gave us free will if he wanted slaves, the only thing it does is taking us astray from the path, willingly or unwillingly. It would have been better to be born with no will or not born at all instead of just experiencing all these things that amount for nothing. Making free will and you aren't supposed to use, making women and you aren't supposed to fuck them outside marriage, making all these things in the world only to not partake in them. It feels like a cruel joke. Tortured in this mortal life and then tortured afterwards in hell. Being eternally tortured, oblivion or eternal bliss going nothing outside of time, all of these scare me.

And I can't understand the sacrifice of Christ, how can a life be currency and how can you pay for sins in the first place, or what is a sin and what are sins. I truly walk in darkness and I'm a bit tired of praying and getting no relief.

Reading the bible made me lose faith, I can't dig the whole deal about never getting hungry, thirsty, being pure. I like satisfying hunger and thirst and that stuff, what I don't want is dying of hunger in a street like a dog, don't know if you understand me. I don't want to prove anything and I don't want to be perfect, I just want to be good enough. Being pure in Christianity seems... Gay. It's all so alien and impossible to do and it glorifies suffering and feeling like shit all the time. The more I read the more it seems like a cult and slave morality and the more it seems the gnostics are right, where the creator seems like a torturer or an incompetent creature. Wants slaves but creates humans with free will, males males with a big sex drive and tells them to stick with a single woman even if she is a bitch after marriage, gives healthy and long lives to jackasses while he makes babies with birth defects and constantly suffering and tells them to be grateful because things could be even worse.

I just don't want to think anymore, I don't want to prove anything, I don't want to go to a place where you can't do anything because everything is a sin and even failing on a single one, you are guilty of all the law.

I want to think in a God that loves us do much that becomes human and suffers for us and saves us, no questions asked.

But everytime I see catholicism or read the bible and investigate, he seems like a gaslighted and that he takes delight on sending 99% of humanity to hell
>But you chose this, it's not God's fault it's yours YOU CHOSE THIS
NO, FUCK OFF, I don't want to go to hell, no one does, I can't even spend a day without getting hurt or shitting myself or being depressed, don't tell me I'm chosing things, life already is difficult and chaotic as it is don't tell me that after all of this the only thing that awaits me is more suffering and uncaring. Fuck off. I want to believe that things will go better and that if I truly have to change ways, I will gladly do them in my heart, and not with a negative attitude like a child that doesn't want to do his chores. Don't tell me ever again that I go to hell because I jack off because no women ever loved me while the fucking church is importing and feeding a billion niggers and bringing them here to tape and murder people.

You seem pretty set, you can live your life any way you want but your life will have consequences no matter what you want to be truth or not.
The only thing I will tell you is this, there is no "good enough" universally it doesn't exist, you are not rated by points. If you gave your all that is what is required of you, but if you love jacking off and wallowing in darkness more than trying you don't need a hell in the afterlife you will live it in this life.
Wake up, look into orthodox Christianity, God did not create you for this, you were created in the image of God and the whole creation was made for you. Get yourself together, you are not a worm.

>>23800324
Your life is a chance to put yourself, heart mind and soul, into a state that exemplifies and propagates love, truth, and kindness. In short, are you good? Many if not most people, get caught up in hatred, deceit, and hurtful behaviors. These people are not good people.

When you die, the state of your being is measured. You are judged not for your individual, transient sins, but for the cummulative effect they have had on your very being. Are you in a state that is fit for Creation? Then you remain in His light, and perpetuate His love.

Have you been found lacking? Then you are removed from His light -you are unmade- and your existence is wiped from Creation for all of eternity. There is no punishment greater than this with respect to what you will have lost, but in His mercy, you will not suffer. You will simply Not Be.

So rejoice in your life, and love one another, and be good to yourself and to others. Repent for your failings, and adore the perfection which you cannot yet attain. For the Light of our Father is eternal, but the wages of Sin are death.

Amen.

It's 2 posts in a 4chan board, I'm a lot more than that. I'm just frustrated because it seems the church is more interested in retarded shit rather than the important stuff. I've never had a problem with this, but it is very frustrating to see people that you are going to hell for fapping when 99% of males do it (and therefore going to hell) while women keep being whores and the church keeps rooting for browns to keep raping because they are christian or something.

Literal rapists are redeemed and can do whatever they please but if you touch yourself one it's all bad and it's all evil. Most of males don't have any chances with women, if you try to do math, but no one cares. Besides, most priests I see are obese and in bad shape, so hearing that I'm going to hell by people that can't even control his basic urges seem hypocritical to me. Everyone is obsessed with sex but no one cares about the other things.

That's the meaning of life and Christianity, do not touch yourself. The most important commandment.

You are genuinely demonically possessed if you put this much importance on masturbation, beware and be careful.
Rape is a sin, adultery is a sin, sexual immortality is a sin. The fact that your WEF Catholic bishop does something that goes against church canons is irrelevant to me, you need to look into dogma specifically patristic orthodox dogma.
But if your entire world revolves around being left alone, being not bothered, being in comfort and seething you can not be helped regardless of your faith. You need to change your worldview paradigmically, you aren't a passive subject you are an agent, you must take ownership of your life. This must is not to say that anyone asks that of you, no one cares about you most likely, but you must do it for yourself and if you don't you will live in hell right now not even in the afterlife.
There is nothing more to say because your entire rhetoric boils down to seething about a would that was always fallen, most likely because you don't have a father figure to explain to you that you must live you life like a soldier spiritually, physically mentally etc. Death to the world as they say.
Otherwise what is the point of even talking, you paradigm already has a solution, don't listen to anyone and stay at home destroying your future self.

Damnation is your choice. That is the price of free will. You came here asking for guidance, but in truth you do so cloaked in a shoddy deception. Ask yourself how a life of deception benefits you or your fellow man. In the end, the only fool is you. And again, in the end of things, you and you alone are left to atone for your sins, or face the consequences.

Good luck. A rapist who has struggled with himself his entire life has a greater chance to repent and attain a state of good, than a man who has mocked and derided people his entire life, always sure of himself even as he lies.

No, you will not pray for me, you are gaslighting me and you are probably a 4chan troll. Your posts are essentially masturbation, pointing with the finger to others while you stroke yourself. I'm tired of being unheard of, I've been praying and praying and he never answers, I tried making good deeds and I keep feeling like shit, all my life rejected and the only answer is
>Keep suffering keep suffering keep suffering
And when I ask for help, everyone keeps looking down on me. No one gives a fuck, I'm a tool for others to feel better about themselves. I'm not a fucking slave. Giving people free will and telling them they have to submit is evil. If you want people to follow you you don't give them free will, where the only thing you can do with it is to fall short.
Besides, you do not care about sexual imorality or not succumbing to passions; many orthodox priests I've seen are morbidly obese. I'm not choosing anything and I don't want to choose, stop saying damnation is your choice and stop gaslighting people, it is evil. That's not the "price" free will is fucking useless if all the options except one are wrong. That's like giving a baby a knife then blaming the baby for getting cut: you don't put him in that situation in the first place.

Have you gone to where God is known to be and where the medicine for your ailment is served? The Orthodox Church has 2000 years of empirical knowledge on how to help people with problems like yours. Your problems are solvable anon. But you are sick, and like all of us who are sick, you need to get yourself into the hospital, which is the Church. Much like you are not meant to suffer a serious disease without professional help, neither are you meant to walk the path of salvation without help. Christianity is not a DIY religion.

I went to the church and felt nothing. I never had a problem with me fapping once in a while, I started feeling bad when you guys started telling me I was going to duffere eternal torture for it. Even when I stopped fapping I still felt like crap.

I don't feel like this with things like overeating or anger, even when I'm trying to control those.

They put their women in burkas because sex is evil. Music is also evil and you can't even shave because no facial hair is sexual inmorality.
>For their fruits you will know them
The fruits is that ALL the muslim countries are shit holes. And Christianity wants to import millions of them because getting yourself get invaded is GOOD because charity and sacrificing yourself absolutely for others is what you ought to do.
You are like the pharisees saying Christ is evil because he works on the Sabbath healing people. You are picking on young while lonely males while you don't care about the millions and millions of invaders destroying the western world WHICH IS A THOUSAND TIMES WORSE. And you don't care. Because it's all about sexuality. A girl getting violently raped and beheaded in an alleyway? Who cares, better to give them another chance, we are all one in Christ after all.

I'm sorry you are in this state, it sounds bad. Merry Christmas, hope you have a breakthrough because this isn't healthy.

To be one in Christ, you must accept Christ.

Ok, there is no way you aren't trolling. I'm also retarded for trying to have a discussion in 4chan of all places.

I've struggled with this. It doesn't seem entirely biblically sound tho
Not catholic but purgatory kinda makes sense
I figure I'm gonna have to do about 6000 years before I get to heaven

LGBTG&Y is a voter base.
That’s why they are promoted.
But you can’t just round people
up to conform or reform.

They would have their own
private, personal life, like
any body else, if it wasn’t
for the politicians, who
campaign 24/7 365.

Bye.
