Endless Punishment

[brohank]

I might have read too quickly, and missed it...but it seems to me the whole key is that God is HOLY!  And being HOLY, He cannot abide UNholiness in His presence...now, or ever.

He has decreed that there is only one way to be without sin...and that is through the redeeming blood of His Son, Jesus Christ.

He has decreed that it is up to man to make his mind up while he is yet alive...later is too late. "for it is appointed unto man once to die, after that, the judgment," and "let him who is unholy be unholy still."

All of the opportunity to be redeemed, to be made holy and capable of standing in His presence has been given unto man, so if any person goes to hell, it is because of THEIR own choice...not Gods.  They condemn themselves by their own action...or inaction.

If any person goes through life rejecting the FREE gift of salvation and redemption, then no amount of punishment, purgatory, teaching, or otherwise is going to change their minds after they die.  They are just plumb dumb and arrogant.

Hi all!

Amen!

Hi Hank. It's great to see you here.
