My Beliefs About "Hell" And How I Got Them (Off Topic)

[rungold315]

Dave, where in the hell do you get the idea that God does not punish his enemies? What about Sodom and Gamorrah, Pharoah and the chariots, and other countless passages where God swears REVENGE on his enemies and sinners. Do you think that by "eternal hellfire" he meant "eternal forgiveness"? No, its either one or the other. Now that I think about it, we truly are made in the image of God. Think about it, when we are angry and bitter, we seek revenge, such as he. And when people do wrong us, we rarely forgive, such as HE (the only difference being that he is WILLING, but the point is, he still doesnt). Remember, the road to salvation is very thin, meaning most people are NOT being forgiven or saved. Your apparent ideas of universalism, to me, no offense sir (because I respect you on so many levels), is absolutely absurd and there can't be any scriptural defense of it. <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/huh.gif" alt="" title="Huh" /><!-- s -->
