So you take Him at His Word what is going to happen to people?

According to your Christianity there are millions, billions of people who going to be tortured for eternity by your version of the loving Jesus; if you got off your lazy ass and went into the street and preached you might help save a few. Instead you are in here making a foolishness of yourself and the gospel.


So perhaps I'll have to answer to the Lord Jesus why I didn't bring more to Christ.

And you'll have to explain to Him why you were ashamed of His words and slanderously hurled insults at believers and God.

By despising His words you worked to neutralize the urgency of the commanded response for Him dying on His cross for us.


@divegeester

Jesus spoke in parables.


So whenever we see the words "forever and ever" we should not take them seriously, but only parabolic-ally?

He shall not really reign forever and ever ? (Rev. 11:15).

Parables then? God and His Christ will not literally reign forever and ever?

He spoke in parables, that is not saying He always did.

Was this a parable? Or is scripture lying?

Revelation 21:7-8 English Standard Version (ESV)
7 The one who conquers will have this heritage, and I will be his God and he will be my son. 8 But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”

Not hiding I believe the text as is with all that is in it. You attempting to pick out
parts you don't like, or suggest some of it isn't real and true, speak up. Are some
part of Revelation symbolic possibly, but again when it comes to what the reality
of things beyond this life isn't something I have been exposed to yet, it is
something we are both moving towards some day soon.
