…just give it up dude, you are going to lose.

Especially going against Mr. Smij…

Now, I have friends on here who are devout Christians, I love them and would never do anything to engage their wrath upon me…but, for arguments sake, I just have to point out a few things here:

1.GE 1:3-5 On the first day, God created light, then separated light and darkness.

GE 1:14-19 The sun (which separates night and day) wasn’t created until the fourth day.

2. GE 1:11-12, 26-27 Trees were created before man was created.
GE 2:4-9 Man was created before trees were created.

3. GE 1:20-21, 26-27 Birds were created before man was created.
GE 2:7, 19 Man was created before birds were created.

4. GE 1:24-27 Animals were created before man was created.
GE 2:7, 19 Man was created before animals were created.

5. GE 1:26-27 Man and woman were created at the same time.
GE 2:7, 21-22 Man was created first, woman sometime later.

6. GE 1:31 God was pleased with his creation.
GE 6:5-6 God was not pleased with his creation.
(Note: That God should be displeased is inconsistent with the concept of omniscience.)

7. GE 6:6. EX 32:14, NU 14:20, 1SA 15:35, 2SA 24:16 God does change his mind.
NU 23:19-20, 1SA 15:29, JA 1:17 God does not change his mind.

8. GE 7:1 Noah was righteous.
JB 1:1,8, JB 2:3 Job was righteous.
LK 1:6 Zechariah and Elizabeth were righteous.
JA 5:16 Some men are righteous, (which makes their prayers effective).
1JN 3:6-9 Christians become righteous (or else they are not really Christians).
RO 3:10, 3:23, 1JN 1:8-10 No one was or is righteous.

9. GE 11:9 At Babel, the Lord confused the language of the whole world.
1CO 14:33 Paul says that God is not the author of confusion.

10. GE 15:9, EX 20:24, 29:10-42, LE 1:1-7:38, NU 28:1-29:40, God details sacrificial offerings.
JE 7:21-22 God says he did no such thing.

But now, I feel that we are just being argumentative & perhaps we should leave this discussion for one that is more productive. You’re welcome to the last word if you want it.

If in fact God does torment people in hell for eternity, then it follows inexorably from logic that he is not good. If he is not good, then you are probably in as much in danger from a capricious and wicked deity as I am. So you had better also hope like hell that your second theory is incorrect.

I deduce from experience that whatever God may exist is probably not evil, though he may be indifferent. As such, I don’t fear torment after life.

Another point of logic that might encourage the faint of heart: suffering is an aspect of life. Death ends life. Therefore death ends suffering. I’d rather rest on logic than mere “hope”.

Hebrews was likely by some other author with a somewhat different agenda (though with sympathy for Paul’s viewpoint generally speaking). Here, the author is arguing for the imperfection of Mosaic law and its replacement by a new scheme on the grounds that, historically, the law had been “changed” since Moses had given it – with the introduction of non-Levitical priests, and on the grounds that it was short of “perfection”. Hebrews is arguing for a new “Covenant” to replace the Abrahamic covenant, which was only partial, to that author’s mind.

And that’s my best exegesis, but take it with a grain of salt, because I’m no expert!
