Differences of understanding of the promises, doctrines, rationales and applications of God's Word among believers in Christ are a family matter, not to be used for argumentation and One Upsmanship purposes in a public online spirituality forum.
-Removed-Prov 17:27 "He who restrains his words has knowledge, and he who has a cool [calm] spirit is a man of understanding."
Prov 10:19, "When there are many words, transgression is unavoidable, but he who restrains his lips is wise."
divegeester, if your long term, incessant public fixation on the Lake of Fire is motivated by a family member or close friend who has died without professing belief in Christ, please consider the possibility that he or she may have made an earlier point in time decision to believe in Christ for their salvation without telling you. Also, realize that God's attributes of Justice and Righteousness [Divine Integrity] and Immutability provide an ironclad guarantee that He will keep all of His redemption and condemnation promises to mankind. He cannot deny Himself. If He could our own salvation would be in jeopardy.
