Nonsense.

Typically, the British are sore because of the loss of their colonial empire status to the Americans, and the overall decline of their culture due to their faithless anti-Christian institutions. Not to mention the fact that their government prohibits free speech. Especially in regards to the gospel of Jesus Christ.

You are a true mouth worshiping hypocritical dunce.

The people you’re describing obviously were not Christians. You still don’t get that becoming a Christian a la John 3:16 and Romans 10:9 is more than mouthing a few words.

You’ll never understand as long as you reject the deity of Jesus Christ.

And you’ll never be able to accept the deity of Jesus Christ until you set aside your foolish and sinful pride, stop puffing out your chest and stop relying on yourself to be righteous (in right standing with God.)

Only Jesus Christ makes you righteous. How many times do you need to hear that?

Begging the question.

You're assuming the Word of God doesn't mean what it says and say what it means by insinuating it's not all literal whether what is said is through metaphor, symbolism or any number of literary methods used to convey Truth.

The Bible is all True whether the Truth is revealed metaphorically or not.

Annihilation is not taught in the Bible metaphorically or otherwise.

Can God annihilate Himself? That man is created in the image of God means more than you think. Whoever or whatever sets itself up against God will suffer for it. Biblical fact.

Stop avoiding the question. I assure you it will not go away while we discuss this topic. Every Christian here who defends the literalism of eternal torture goes on to obfuscate over this question.

How do you personally decide what in the bible is literal and what isn’t?

Now doubt you will be keen to answer this after your “nap”...

You should take your own advice, tiger. Your head must be a throbbing cotton ball again after your night out with the blokes.

You dont get it. These are Christians.
You did get to say because a Christian lives in sin then they are not Christians

Neither do you get how Christ makes people righteous :
They are cleasned by his words, his commandments
His words are the Spirit of Christ
His teachings make followers free of sin.

You can repeat your nonsense false doctrines a million times ..
it is still garbage church teachings

You’re are believer in eternal suffering....how do you personally, decide what is literal in the bible and what isn’t?

I never said that, tiger. In fact I’ve said more than three times recently that I don’t know if an eternity in hell or annihilationism await the damned and that I’ve read that Biblical support exists for both.

Why are you misrepresenting me?

Is your tummy upset from the crunchy peanut butter? Is that why you’re in a bad mood?
