god is all knowing and all powerful right?
so he knew and knows anything and everything before its even a thought right?
so god knew in making people were going to the two places he created in the end, heaven, and hell.
that means when he created some people he created them to go to hell and to go to heaven.
he created some or in some opinions, most, people to go to hell.
no matter how much they try, or how saved they might feel, if it is in gods plan, he will go to hell.
that is the opposite of love.
"And I shall teach you (pl.) what is the mystery of their life, which is the plan which they made together, which is the likeness of their spirit. The root of this (tree) is bitter and its branches are death, its shadow is hate and deception is in its leaves, and its blossom is the ointment of evil, and its fruit is death and desire is its seed, and it sprouts in darkness. The dwelling place of those who taste from it is Hades, and the darkness is their place of rest.

Text So please tell us why, people who go to hell who dont believe in jesus or god? People who are still remote from us, or people who are born into other religions? You seem to know the answers, so why?
Deuteronomy 32:8-9
The Most High (Elyon) gave to the nations separating the sons of man and setting the boundaries of the people according to the number of the sons of Israel. For the portion of Yahweh is his people; Jacob is the allotment of his inheritance.
Psalms 82:1
A Psalm of Asaph. Elohim stands [singular-verb] in the congregation of El (God - Most High); judging in the midst of The Gods (Elohim).
Matthew 5:38-42
38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’[a] 39 But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. 40 And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. 41 If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. 42 Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.
Matthew 5:43-48
43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he [The Heavenly Father] makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 47 And if you greet only your brothers,[a] what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? 48 You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
Vati Leaks Vati Leaks Feedback button Pope’s new book sourced from fictitious writings
Vatileaks Book Review: ‘The Infancy Narratives’, by Pope Benedict XVI Last week, and amidst the worldwide exodus of Catholics from their Church, Pope Benedict XVI released his new book, ‘The Infancy Narratives’, the last of his ‘Jesus of Nazareth’ trilogy. Published by Rizzoli - Vatican Publishing House, the Pope’s core message was that the Catholic dogma on ‘immaculate conception’ or virgin birth is ‘unequivocal’, but what he failed to say was that the entire essence of the Gospel’s ‘birth narratives’ were ‘derived from extraneous sources’ (‘Catholic Encyclopedia’, Matthew Gospel, 1909). That makes them fictitious, and in his attempt to reinforce a Catholic preaching that the Gospel Jesus Christ was conceived without physical contact between a man and a woman, the Pope drew upon Gospel narratives that the Vatican has known for more than 100 years to be fictitious. Ancient truths detrimental to Vatican’s misinformation The most extensive account of the ‘virgin birth’ and ‘infancy’ narratives are found in the first two chapters of the Gospel of Matthew. However, the ‘Catholic Encyclopedia’ records that those two chapters in today’s version of that Gospel are artificially juxtaposed, and not part of the ‘original Hebrew’ version of the Gospel of Matthew (‘Catholic Encyclopedia’, ‘Matthew Gospel’, 1909). The Editorial Committee of the ‘Catholic Encyclopedias’ claim that their collections ‘fully express the thoughts of the Christian hierarchy’ (Preface), and in those records we learn that the first two chapters of the Gospel of Matthew were forged into that Gospel in ‘the 4th Century AD’¹. Those 48 passages, totaling around 1200 words, are made up basically of existential Egyptian, Greek, Buddhist and Persian theology current at that time, and were used as new opening chapters for a document that originally started its story: ‘In those days came John the Baptist … and then Yesu came … to be baptized by him’, when Yesu was ‘at about the age of thirty years’ (Matt. 3:1). Official Vatican realities Thus, the opening two chapters of the Gospel of Matthew are forgeries, and the references to a virgin birth in the Gospel of Luke are of no value either, for they are plagiarized from the Gospel of Matthew account. Again, confirming that the virgin birth narratives are not based on historic fact, the Vatican confirmed the late entry of those narratives into the Gospels: ‘There seems to be no doubt that the infancy narratives of Matthew and Luke were later additions to the original body of the apostolic catechesis’. (‘New Catholic Encyclopedia’, Vol., xiv, 693) Their inclusion in official Vatican texts reveals a doctrinal forgery perpetrated in the development of Christianity that provides ongoing evidence that the Christian Gospels are wholly fallacious.

Yahweh is a being made of such energy, but i guess he was a human first? So he is not the father. But is the father of truth, and the new kingdom. Hense the father. The very essence within darkness is an eternal flame. Because if you think of it this way.

Text To say God doesn't like destruction is about the same as saying I dont use O2 in my body when I breathe. Oh, and BTW- I aimed that last statement at the Christian... They crap themselves double when someone asks that question- especially from a former christian. I want to see one, just ONE Christian answer that question without breaking a sweat, and in their own words, and not going for the bible and just typing out a bunch of stuff they THINK will cover it (and it just DOESNT.).
People can look at the bible and see if the "truth" Yahweh speaks is something they want to merge with an be apart of. People can think of how a world with Jesus would be who said "instead of eye for eye and tooth for tooth turn the other cheek, and love your enemies and forgive and do unto others as they would want done unto them" or they can think of how a world with Yahweh would be who taught, revenge (eye for eye and tooth for tooth), thou shalt not kill and yet commanding others to murder, even ordering the killing of women, children, and animals, hardening people's hearts and punishing them and then they can decide for themselves which type of world they would prefer to live in if they had to choose...

Its been altered so much. I would just ignore it. And with all his light metaphors. I would want it avoided. Because its been the backbone of the christian corruption. Hope that was a good enough answer.

This helps no one. Absolutely no one reach heaven. And the people that spread these lies will be delt with.
This is not what *Jesus* would want. Its absolutely sickening. On every level.edit on 18-5-2013 by CrypticSouthpaw because: (no reason given)
Its not my willing choice. Do you understand this? They will lash out at people in anger and confusion. For those trying to grasp the concepts of dark matter dark energy, the universe and the soul.
Authenticity Main article: Authorship of the Pauline Epistles The first verse in the letter, according to the late manuscripts used in most English translations, reads, "Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, To the saints in Ephesus, the faithful in Christ Jesus." (Eph. 1:1 NIV). Hence, the letter identifies Paul as its author, and these manuscripts designate the Ephesian church as its recipient. Ephesians is found in the two earliest canons, and many of the early Church Fathers (including Clement of Rome, Ignatius, Hermas, and Polycarp) support Paul's authorship. However, there are a few problems with this traditional position, including: The earliest and best known manuscripts omit the words "in Ephesus", rendering the phrase simply as "to the saints ... the faithful in Christ Jesus" (NIV alternative translation). The letter lacks any references to people in Ephesus, or any events Paul experienced there. Phrases such as "ever since I heard about your faith"[1:15] might seem to indicate that the writer has no firsthand knowledge of his audience. This presents a problem as the book of Acts records that Paul spent a significant amount of time with the church in Ephesus, and in fact was one of its founders. However, "faith" in this verse is the start of a list of qualities displayed by the recipients of the letter, not a solitary statement about news of faith, full stop. Additionally, the author gives no indication that the report he "heard" was his introduction to the church in Ephesus. It could mean that he received word of the further development and growth of the church in Ephesus, and if Paul—co-founder of that church---wrote the letter, this illuminates his follow-up: "I do not cease to give thanks for you..."[1:16]
