So, who is going to hell then? So, are you saying that Satan is not going ot hell? It says in the bible he's the father of liars.
John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
I guess i've never heard of any religion like that. I know there are tons of diff religions thats just new one to me. 🙂
Bleh.
One question at a time.
Satan was the father of liars. He was the Serpent who seduced Eve into eating the Apple.
But! He himself left Hell, and went before God, and their he repented, and "he had grown weary of the lies of Hell; he had gone oft to Earth, looking above to the Kingdom of the Gods, and thence he left his former Kingdom, and he went before the feet of Jehovah, and there he gave his alleigance-and God knew it was truth, and not a lie, for he had created Satan for such a purpose."
Here, in the Yazidi Religion, Satan is given Earth as his Kingdom between Heaven, and Hell.
In my Religion, that doesn't happen until the End.
Hmm....what I said before, about Hell....
Well, my Religion states, that "those who believe not in Jehovah, nor the others under him, go not to Hell, but to the All, to the Eden above."
Only "Murderers, and those of such evil deeds go oft to the lines of Hell-and there they dwell until the end, where they shall be aware. Aware, of purpose."
It also says: "Murderers and the like, even those who fought, and died during War, go still to Hell-but if one did such a thing in the name of Country, of Home, or to Free oppressed peoples, they went to Limbo, and there were content. Those who used the name of Country, or home in lie, and became murderers, and caused massacres, they would go oft to the very bottom of Hell, at the feet of Azazel."
Now, to answer Finti, we call our Religion many names:
Repentance
Purpose
Destiny
etc.
The first name was "Reverse-Catholosism", I believe.
Okay, I agree entirely with finti on this. The story of Noah is as ridiculous as any given children's fairy tale, complete with giants and elves and dwarves and little green men that are good luck.
First of all, as finti already said, there is no logical way Noah and his family could have built the Ark and managed to take care of all the animals single-handedly. I have a hard time taking care of a 50-gallon aquarium, two dogs, two horses, and a cat. But all the animals on the face of the planet? No way. And not only would there be no time to take care of them all, there would be no space on the damn boat for food by the time you filled it up with animals.
Also, the boat would have to be impossibly large to accomodate two of every species of animal on the planet. Hell, you couldn't fit all the species of insects alone on any boat. Especially not one that had been built in a short period of time by three or four people. Four thousand years ago. Using only hand tools.
I don't know what this "manna" stuff is, but here in reality, animals all need different kinds of food. Dogs eat meat. Cows eat grass or hay. Dung beetles eat cow poo.
