I learned the bible, and I studied hard. However, the things that I was being taught by the elders, in my church, was not in the bible. I also began to see the people in the church. They were evil hypocrites, and I found it hard to teach them the things they did not want to hear. The final straw was when my teacher was arrested for child molestation. I turned away and spent many years looking for the truth. I was not perfect and made a total mess of my life. Then my mother died, and I lost everything. It is strange how God sends you what you need when you need it. I found a small group of people, who in so many ways, where more Jesus like then anyone from the church. So, I began to learn, and the more I learned, the more my life came into focus.
I became Buddhist because of its message of unconditional love, compassion, and understanding, and its absolute respect for Life.

No. Hell is a realm I have already been to before, and many people have been to before. It is a realm we can also bring ourselves out of through love and personal effort.
Christian Hell does not exist, it is a mere copy of Ancient Greek Mythology's Tarturus.

[B]Romans 10:9-10,13
that IF YOU CONFESS WITH YOUR MOUTH THE LORD JESUS AND BELIEVE IN YOUR HEART THAT GOD HAS RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD, YOU WILL BE SAVED.For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For "whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved."
Romans 10:13
FOR "WHOEVER CALLS ON THE NAME OF THE LORD SHALL BE
SAVED."1. God says you must confess that Jesus Christ is Lord and believe in your heart that He (God) has raised Him (Jesus Christ) from the dead, and you will be saved.
You will be forgiven for all your sins, and declared to be righteous to go to Heaven.
2. Whoever calls on the Name of Lord Jesus Christ for salvation shall be saved. Whoever sincerely believes in, depends on, and trusts in Jesus Christ with all their heart will be saved. Ask Jesus Christ to save you from your sins, to declare you to be righteous, and to give you everlasting life. Thank Jesus for forgiving you for all of your sins, for declaring you to be righteous, for making you good enough to go to Heaven, and for dying to pay for your sins.
Say this prayer from your heart:
Lord Jesus, I confess that You are Lord, and I believe with all of my heart that God raised You from the dead. I call upon Your Name for salvation. Also Lord Jesus, I repent from all of my sins. Thank You for saving me and giving me everlasting life now. [/B]

Your welcome. (Anyway that I can help). Just remember if you meet Jesus before I do, tell Him that I can't wait to see Him face-to-face.

What happens when a person gets saved?
© When you confess that Jesus Christ is Lord and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, your spirit instantly becomes born again (John 3:3, 5)
© Your spirit becomes a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17).
© You instantly pass from eternal death (or eternal separation from God) to eternal life or everlasting life (John 5:24).
© You are instantly delivered form the authority of the devil, and you make the transition from the kingdom of darkness (satan's kingdom of darkness) into the Kingdom of God (Colossians 1:13).
© God declares you to be righteous, as though you never sinned (Romans 3:24, 5:1, 9; 1 Corinthians 6:11; 1 Peter 1:19; 1 John 1:7).
© God saves you from facing His holy, righteous wrath against sin. God gives you everlasting life (Ephesians 5:6; 1 Thessalonians 1:10, 5:9; Revelation 6:16-17, 15:7).
© Your name is written in the Lamb's Book of Life (Philippians 4:3; Revelation 20:15).
© There is so much joy in heaven over you than over ninety-nine other people that God has already declared to be righteous. There is joy in the presence of the angels of God over you! (Luke 15:7, 10).

You are so silly. I'm sorry that you have such a strong belief in hell. You make it a reality to your self.
Originally posted by JesusIsAliveJesus spoke about the reality of living in your own hell. He also told you how to avoid it. He likened it to metaphorical words to show how it could destroy you if you persist on staying there.
Jesus spoke about the [B]reality of Hell.Why don't you believe that Hell exists? [/B]

You are so convinced in the existence of Hell, that it is real for you. However, it is not real to me. Belief creates your reality.
You failed to explain why.
Hell is real (according to the Bible which is what I base my belief in its existence on). Denying that something is not true will not ever make it untrue. That is called "denial." What if I denied that gravity exists, or that radio waves exists, or that wind exists. Do you think that that will change anything? Will those things all of a sudden cease to exist? Those things exists independent of what we think. Our belief is irrelevant and immaterial.
So Hell exists whether you believe that it does or not. (Sorry, but this is the Truth).

Why? Why do I not believe in something that is not real? Why does belief create your reality?
If a person says that Santa Clause dose not exist, is that denial?

In the case of Santa Clause, no that would not be denial because Santa Clause does not exist.
But in the case of Hell, yes that is denial because Hell does exist.

Hell (as you know it) is just as real as Santa Clause. Souls and spirits do not exist. So, if there was a hell, it would be empty.

Prove to me that Santa Clause is not real, and that Hell is....
That is all I ask my freind...that is all I ask.... 🙂
Originally posted by ShakyamunisonI've read many near death experiences and they all are different. Now if one can create ones own reality it would explain why some people experience a real hell only to be revived and tell the story while others see and talk to fairies, bees, animals, Jesus, all sorts of experiences.

A lot of those stories are not true and are just Christian Propaganda.
