Do you question, even for a second, that God might not actually exist?

Explain to me then the concept of the all-forgiving God we hear so much about, this great God that judges so much.

The LORD will judge, according to whether your sins have been washed clean with the blood of JESUS. You can only enter Heaven with your sins washed clean.

So, how do you classify who gets sent where out of interest?

Our bodies change in the next life, in Heaven we will have glorified bodies and in hell people will have new bodies to sustain punishment.

That doesn't really help in terms of suffering on Earth, does it? Why should a person have to suffer in one life, just to have maybe have peace in the next?

But people in hell, will have a new body.

I still feel uneasy at how religion seems to turn so many people into know-it-alls. It's not a good way to view life.

Or the New Testament?

Or the Ten Commandments?

:^D

Just having fun, FF, don't take it personally.

ok, you put someone through unbelievable torture, and make them view horrific images for years on end, then see if their soul is intact.

I wager there would be little left of their frail mind, that could qualify as a soul.

Because the body is temperate in all things but the soul is eternal, so it is not really that important.
