The OP states what I think. Would you like to share what you think? Perhaps you can see what I replied to Josephw and respond yourself?

Could name hundreds,even between the different Gospels, but just to make things nice and simple for you, the God of the OT is not the God of the NT. I repeat, the God of the OT is not the God of the NT. Their characters are so contradictory that to think otherwise beggars belief.

Not a jibe geester. I would truly be surprised to hear you say you believe Jesus rose from the dead, literally.

So far you have demonstrated you don't believe what the Bible says, picking and choosing only those things that fit into your own paradigm. If you can't believe it, it must not be true. Kinda like an atheist.

Well, so far you've given me an example of a personal opinion.

You're obviously having difficulty finding just one example of an error or contradiction.

I wouldn't be surprised to hear you say you don't disagree with the assertion that Jesus and the apostle John were lovers.

Would you classify the lake of fire, the screaming and gnashing of teeth and the worm that doesn't die as a parable, analogy, story, poem or song?

I think divegeester probably thinks Jesus said those things just to scare people into believing in Him. 😛

I believe that Jesus literally rose from the dead.

What's your next play?

For the umpteenth time of asking, do you believe that there is a literal hell where Jesus will be torturing all the unsaved with flames for eternity?

Who here believes that the trees of life and of knowledge in genesis are literal trees, with roots and photosynthesis etc?

Becker, if you or Josephw find the balls to actually state unequivocally what you believe about eternal suffering, please do let me know.

Not being aware of the glaring contradictions in the bible simply betrays you haven't studied it objectively. '

You're off script divegeester. That's why I won't answer.

Frame your question in such a way that reflects the narrative of the Word of God and I will gladly discuss the issue of eternal separation from the life of God.

Use any good translation. Quote the verse or verses related to the lake of fire, hell or Gehenna.
