- paulryanrogers 4y agoIME many churches, even of the same faith, are trying to win over people who don't believe at all and those who don't believe the same way. So people who don't X, Y, Z as they do are doing it wrong or not truly A, B, C. Rise of agnosticism and atheism also motivates them to action. After all these are eternal souls bound to suffer forever in flames and darkness.
- irrational 4y ago> these are eternal souls bound to suffer forever in flames and darkness. This doesn’t make any sense to me (assuming you are not being sarcastic). Does it make sense that Joseph Stalin and Random Joe (who was a good person, but wasn’t truly A, B, C) would both suffer equal fates? What about a person who lived thousands of years ago deep in a jungle and didn’t even have an opportunity? It doesn’t make any sense.
- paulryanrogers 4y agoSome churches will interpret certain scriptures as saying the ignorant will hear their gospel after death and before final judgement. IMO it's a lot of hoop jumping nonsense.
