LOL did you just say my Dad is bigger than yours? .. how dare you de-capitalise my Father
There is only ONE God .. you must know that at least.
Christians believe in a loving God .. not an Angry God or a Jealous God or a Resentful God or a Punishing God.
You must believe in the Satanic God of the Old Testament .. not the loving God that Jesus revealed to us.

And everybody alive today is a descendant of Noah and his three children Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
THe Noahs Ark story never happened. It's a Hebrew rip off of the Summeritan Giglimesh story. It's not to be taken literally. There is ZERO chance it's a true story. Science has disproven it beyond any doubt.
That hell, death, the Devil, the false prophet, and the wild beast, as well as everyone else who are wicked are thrown into the lake of fire that represents the second death means that they receive everlasting destruction. That is what fire represents. Not that a person will live on forever in literal torment in the fire. But that the fire is symbolic of their complete everlasting destruction.

No doubt about it. See this post from this same thread above about the explanation.
Fire represents destruction. After hell gives up those dead in it and it is empty it is then thrown into the lake of fire, that is hell is done away with. It is destroyed forever. That means that humankind will live forever. Hell will no longer exist. While in this life everyone who has ever lived dies. After that time, no one will die ever again.

Please explain to us how you reconcile your above statement on page 1 with your second statement on page 2... The only thing you're really telling us is that you've chosen to make up your own religion and refer to yourself as a "Christian spiritualist".
Any spirit that's teaching you reincarnation instead of resurrection is lying to you and is not of Christianity. Reincarnation IS just you trying to pull Paganism into Christianity and it doesn't work, just like it didn't work back in the days of early Christianity.
I see absolutely no conflict between those statements .. do you? .. The God of the old testemant is not a God but a fallen angel.
I am not the best example of someone who holds past life memories, because there are 100,000s who recall more than I do. The concept of reincarnation is not subjective to those who know for sure, so this is the reconcilliation that needs attendence .. what the BIBLE SAYS the colour blue is and what I KNOW the colour blue is!
There are elements of the Old Testament requisitioned to use with the accepted bible to drill into us the concept of suffering and retribution.
God loves me, Jesus loves me, I talk to God daily in gratitude for my wonderful blessings that he permits me to enjoy.
