I did not subscribe to the "eternal torture" theology when I was a Christian, if that's what you are asking about

This is just like atheists saying there is no sin.

If they refuse to "believe" it, they think it just doesn't exist.

I get that you don't agree with me. You don't have to call me a liar just to make your point.

The "eternal torture" being referred to is his belief that people will be tortured forever in burning agony for their "sins" and for being unbelievers. You must surely be aware of this as you have on occasion tackled the likes of Grampy Bobby and RJHinds and others about their belief in this punishment.

Where did I call you a "liar"?

You twist quite a bit in that head of yours. It is a matter of who does what.
If I am to do something, than I am responsible for my actions, if I have
no say one way or another someone else does, than it is all on them. Not
sure why this is upsetting or confusing to you, but it sure appears to be the
case.

Vanity, seriously you are a piece of work! Hell is for sinners, those that
avoid Hell will do so by the only means that God has given. I've no say in
that in any way shape of form. Your 'grasp' of reality in that you simply
declare that what you say and believe is true and all others are just floating
around in their imaginations is a bit vain in my opinion, the very thing you
accuse others of doing.

I told you early on, if I'm right you have nothing to fear from me, if I am
wrong you have nothing to fear from me, reason being God is either going
to fulfill what the Word of God says or not. When it comes to believing Him
or you, I'll take Him.

You are responsible for what you profess to believe and propagate too, KellyJay.

If you can prove the things you imagine are true ~ or offer evidence that the "eternal torture" thing has happened even to just one person in the history of humanity ~ then I will stop looking upon your insistence - that your imagination has conjured up actual "facts" that are true for me as well as you - as vanity.

I am not attempting to will anything into existence. It is you, KellyJay, who is attempting to will something into existence through the sheer force of your imagination and your sincerity.

Really, I believe there are 8 planets *used to be nine* moving around our
sun, I'm responsible for that? I'm quite the man! Truth acknowledged does
not make me responsible for that truth. I am responsible for my words and
actions, that which I do and have control over. Truth that I have no control
over I'm not responsible for making it be real, if there are warnings about
what could happen, than I'm responsible for warning others. If you are
wrong and people go to Hell because of you pushing a lie, than God will hold
you accountable for your words and actions, that which you propagate.

No one is in that Lake of fire yet. One of the troubles with the word 'hell' is
that one word is used to describe several different things. The Lake of fire
will be used when God starts putting people there, not me, God.

This is something from your imagination. Dasa imagines we are all reincarnated. You imagine some kind of "Lake of fire will be used when God starts putting people there" in order to be tortured for eternity.

Before answering this, what is love?

Does a parent not discipline their child when they "sin"?

Those that don't are not loving.
