Any bible quotes one way or another would help.No "God does not exist". I'm an Athiest, but I want this answered from a total Christian perspective.
The church wants money
Bring people in the church to get that money
Keep the people in church by telling them about damnation.
The church makes money
Church sends out missionaries.
The church makes money.
the church makes fellowship groups to bring in more people.
The church makes money.
People don't want to leave the church because they have now been brainwashed into believing they will go to hell.

First you say God created Hell, then you say we created it 😬
Depends on which Biblical sect you belong to.
Pharisees - Physical resurrection
Saducees - No physical resurrection
1 Samuel 2: 6
he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth upJob 19: 26
after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see GodIsaiah 26: 19
Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they ariseEzekiel 37: 12
I will open your graves, and cause you to come up

Originally posted by Lord UrizenI should rephrase that, physical resurrection for the saved (I have always believed such), no physical resurrection for the unsaved as they are not apart of the resurrection, but the second death.
Thanks Regret, that's an eye opener (no sarcasm intended)
