@rajk999 saidYou are not even close. You obviously don't see what Jesus as saying here, so be it....
So Jesus drew on a false doctrine perpetrated by the Jews in order to preach about death. So its the Jews who had these false doctrines. God sent Jesus to preach to the Jews and this is what Jesus preached? He just failed then and made a bigger mess of their doctrines.
An you prayed and prayed and prayed and this is what Jehovah told you ?
@galveston75 saidYou are not making sense. How can a false doctrine help Jesus illustrate the truth about death.

@whodey saidWhat "consequences for the life hereafter" are there for you if you do wrong in "this world"?
Worst problem with this world are people who don't believe in God and think they can do as they please without any consequences for the life hereafter as well as this life and those who believe in God and believe the same thing.
@chaney3 saidhell was never created for ppl.
If God created us, then hell does not exist.
Unless.....He is a petty, immature God, who blames humans for instincts in which He gave us.
If we are flawed, God is flawed.
God's creation is perfect.
But we also have free will. so does Satan. Satan continues to choose the path he made so long ago, blinded by his pride.
We too have choices. to love, cherish, be compassionate. or take that other path of hate.
To some it is a daily challenge.
Its where your heart is, that is the key.
@whodey saidmy friend, love from your heart. and when faced with adversity, love even more. as for the rest, let God deal with that
If there are no consequences for anything, what does it matter?

So go right ahead, test him.
@fmf saidmany things are dependent on how you live your life. As an example, no belief or faith in God. Yet you are compassionate. help others, kindness. Ya, so you beat up the guy next door. but when in that moment. you would give the shirt off your back. or you dove into the water to save a drownding man, because it was the right thing to do. Guess what, you are doing good.
