He's sleeping! zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

There are lots of verses that say they are sleeping...But the Bible also says, that "The spirit returns to God who gave it."....Only the body is dead...The essence that we are returns to the "Source."

its the bible that makes them sleep

And some sermons.....BUT, not in a Pentecostal church....hard to sleep there...And those pastors usually use the Bible as a weapon very very well......Those are the "Hell and Brimstone" services....the "Who's gonna be there and who's not" services....and...the "Why they are not going to be there" services....and the "Let's only judge them with Love.".....and...etc.....well..."Let's get filled with the Holy Spirit".....and just dance......OH...and here's the "Miracle Barrel"...just drop your money in and get a healing......yep, I've seen it....Everybody happy happy happy....and poor.

And some sermons.....

Have you been to a Pentecostal church?????....

though they do repeat ALOTTTTT!!.....Same messages over and over...But they do dance a lot....I used to sit and watch.....and talk to my girlfriend....

One time a woman pulled her wig off on stage....and started speaking a nursery rhyme....I think she was having a nervous breakdown....WE JUST STARED AT HER....that was an interesting service.

Have you been to a Pentecostal church?????....

Oh...well...How'd we get off on this.... 🤨 This is about Gandhi being in hell........I did read somewhere he was....

Does this mean Ghandi is in hell? I was told by seminary student that I met in Texas that unless I accept Jesus Christ as my personal saviour I don't go to heaven. I thought about this for a while and began thinking about famous non-Chrisitian and wondering if they were in hell. I asked a priest and got the same basic answer. I thought that if there was a heaven Ghandi must be there and that if he wasn't it was bullshit. That is basically what made me skeptical of Christianity as an early teen. I have since stopped believing in Christianity and any notion of heaven and hell, but I would like to see how the Christians respond to this thread.

I actuallty addressed this in my post, "God Sends Good People To Hell." Here it is:

How could God send a good person to Hell? How could a loving God condemn and consign a person who has a reputation for being good in so many people’s eyes to a place of torment? Why would God do such a thing?

Well, the answer is simple: No one is good enough to stand before God. God is holy (without sin). Apart from Jesus Christ we are all sinners and doomed to Hell. Yes, even history’s most renowned people are either in Hell or on their way there if they have not bowed their knee to Christ Jesus. Bigotry? Intolerance? Dogmatism?

The truth based on the Bible? How can I speak so absolutely about this subject? There are no absolutes, everything is relative, right? Question: what are absolutes based on objectivity or subjectivity? They are supposed to be based on objectivity. If something is a matter of opinion then it is considered to be subjective. If I ask you what your favorite ice cream is, your answer would not fall under the classification of something that is absolute because it is your personal, favorite. But if I asked you what 3 + 4 is and you feel or think that the answer is, “1,” because that is your belief, now we have a problem. You have just taken something that is absolute and made it relative. You have taken an objective and made it subjective. There is only one right answer to 3 + 4 = 7, and it is not 1. This is an absolute. I don’t see anyone arguing whether 3 + 4 is 7 yet this is an intolerant absolute. The answer doesn’t care whether you agree that 7 is the correct answer. If you mark 1 on your paper you are going to get this question wrong. Why? Because this is an absolute; there is only one right answer to this question. Irrespective of what you feel, think, believe, are accustomed to, your background, culture, upbringing, environment, skin color, social status, income-level, and tax bracket: 3 + 4 = 7.
But then how can so many people be wrong? What about the sincerity of those who are seeking a path to God? I just don’t believe that millions of people could be wrong especially if they are sincere, you say. Question: if a billion people sincerely believed that elephants were the size of ants, and turtles were faster than cheetahs, and sharks can’t smell blood, and that Hitler never existed, and that red is really yellow, and pink was really green, and 3 + 4 was really 9, does that make them right? But what about their sincerity, doesn’t that somehow smooth over the fact that they are wrong? Doesn’t their sincerity add some validity to what they think, feel, and believe? Absolutely not; their sincerity is irrelevant and immaterial, their still wrong. [color=purple]I said all that to say this: as peaceful as Gandhi was, as commendable as mother Theresa was, as good as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was, as laudable as some people say the Pope is, as admirable as your husband, wife, father, mother, siblings, relatives, in-laws, teachers, neighbors, boyfriend, girlfriend, or even adult children may be: if any of these people, yourself included dies in your sins (without asking Christ Jesus for forgiveness) then they/you are lost.

Folks, when it comes to the path to God there is only one right Way.

A great way of explaining the truth about God and Jesus for He is the only way and not believing it does not change that TRUTH. The Bible clearly says that we are not saved by good deeds, but only by our faith in Jesus Christ the Son of God, our only redeemer.

Ooooh yes. Living a good life means nothing as long as you were a little metaphorical badge that says "I'm with Jesus."

I am sorry, but you have been lied too. There is nothing to be saved from.

You realise my rather cynical post was not intended to show either support or approval for such a thing?

Then I suppose you you misunderstood my reply to your sarcastic post.

My dear friend, I am not the one who has been lied to. Jesus is alive within me.

I was once a Christian like you and I understand what you are saying, but it is a lie. I am truly sorry, I will say no more.

No, I understood it. I just wanted the excuse to make another post making my point in a slightly different way.

That way everyone wins. Mainly me.

Ghandi should be in hell.
