Does it give you pleasure to think of me roasting in hell with other nonbelievers?

I don't know who you are addressing here, but you are still showing ignorance.
Did I say I wanted to spend eternity in heaven ? I don't want to be in heaven if Jesus is not there. If Jesus is in hell that is where I want to be with Jesus.
Besides the climax of God's salvation is not going to a place but being conformed into His image to be like Him. The saved are really going into God and God is going into them.
Next you affirm that you will not be going to Hell. Well, strictly speaking Hell just means the realm of the dead. What you want to say to me is that you won't be suffering eternal damnation.
Every sinner has the right to have someone pray for them when they do not know to do so for themselves.
For me, the emptiness of not knowing where one came from, why one is here in the universe, or one's purpose or destiny is bad enough. And I know of no atheist that has a clue about these things.
I'll skip some of your angry talk. But lastly you write this:
"Does it give you pleasure to think of me roasting in hell with other nonbelievers?"
Okay joe. Okay. Here's the deal Joe. PLEASE do not try to impress me that you are SO VERY HARDENED. It does not matter how HARD against Jesus you think you are. He has the ability to reach you and open your heart to Him. We ALL were hard joe.
I am not terribly impressed with how resolute and stubburn you want to portray yourself because I have seen people just as hard be saved.
Now it may not be this poor jaywill that reaches you. It does not mean that Jesus can't reach you.
I take no delight in imagining you in hell joe. You don't scare me. Jesus can get you just like He got me. Maybe not today. Maybe not this year. Maybe not in ten years. But He can reach you joe. His love can subdue the hardest person.
So my final word to you joe is that Jesus Christ the Lord and Savior loves you.
Nice chat.
