I used to believe in hell but what was the thing in the OT that God hated the most? When the Israelites burned their children to demons. If He couldn't stand it for the couple of minutes that takes, what makes you think He will burn people for eternity? I do believe in an eternal punishment for the lost in line with what Fudge said here:
I dunno... The Sermon on the mount, at a couple of chapters long, is the longest recorded sermon and it was the opposite of hellfire and brimstone.
Additionally, Jesus made references to ghenna a place that actually existed, it was a burning trash heap and sometimes even bodies were thrown there. If I recall correctly the other word that is translated into "hell" in English refered to a valley were child sacrifice happened, that is the burning of live children to demons. Those are more likely allegories that people of his day understood.
Fun fact: There's not a single mention of "hell" in any of the Acts preaching... "Sin and repentance" yes, "hell" you will not find in the recorded early church preaching.
Even Jesus spoke more of "the Kingdom of Heaven" than hell. The Gospel "evangelion" means "good news" the kingdom of heaven draws people in, we are people made in the image of God, we do not get to condemn other image bearers.
Nevermind I think I found it... 0... Lame. Gotta try harder
Never... My principle is to never go against my conscience. To taint yourself is never worth it.
Electric cars will mean more coal needs to be burnt to keep the electricity grid powering the cars... Additionally, the batteries need replacing more regularly burning through other finite resources... EVs won't save the world... That said hubby and I are in the process of buying one now. It's an awesome tax write off and we will sell it before the seven year warranty on the battery ends.
Wait I lie... It's not Chinese characters it's that the sign is ruined.... It still says not to drink the cry.
There's a spelling mistake or three in the Korean translation too... Firstly the Chinese characters in the middle of the sentence. But even if you ignore them it probably says not to drink the "cry" rather than "water" 🤣🤣
Nah, Aussies have our own malls with our ten chain stores. Good luck trying to take them out.
That's a cool idea
The rest of the world neither knows or cares when American thanksgiving is 😅
I can't stand people who start Christmas early (joking my hubby will start listening to Christmas carols any day now) but you should let the girl be if it makes her happy.
Good for you 😊
That Burmese python was unreal.. Also my photo doesn't show how big the Komodo Dragon was... There were a few creatures that were harder to get pictures of that I would have liked to include but that's life.
I went to the zoo with family last week. Here's some of the cutest creatures.

I'm pretty blessed he's a great guy. Wouldn't have gotten half as far as I have without him.
... My husband....
I've seen some messed up stuff, heard what people are capable of doing to the weak and helpless, seen trauma written on the faces of young children... I don't have alot of hope in humanity but my husband has always been by my side and taken care of me, expected much from me and loved me so that's something.
If you love him then that makes things right. Hopefully you let him know it
My feelings are probably just nostalgia. I intend to get over it asap💪
