RJHinds, you have infamously said to me (a fellow Christian) that "I deserve to burn for eternity in hell" - simply because I reject the doctrine of eternal suffering. This is a horrendous thing to say; a far worse hate crime than anything an Islamic extremist could do to me.
You explained your rational (if that is not an oxymoron) of this callous comment by claiming I had refused to accept the teaching of Christ on the doctrine of eternal suffering. In order words because I disagree with you.
I asked you in sonhouse's thread if another Christian poster "deserved to burn for eternity in hell" for rejecting what you claim is the biblical teaching of the 6,000 years of creation; you said no, but have refused to explain why.
Here is your opportunity to defend your position.

Well, I guess that's as deep as it goes folks. I don't think I'll be too concerned about being "roasty toasty"** based on what RJHinds has to say.
**robbie carrobie adjective for burning in hell.

How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye." Christ is condemning hypocritical, self-righteous judgments of others. I leave judgment in God's hands.

Originally posted by Grampy BobbyPerhaps you let me know privately then, whether or not you think I "deserve to burn in hell" for refusing to accept the doctrine of eternal suffering?
All significant differences of understanding I may have with other believers in Christ are resolved privately or kept to myself.
