Don't forget to pray for their friends and families, that they will find consolation in the only One Who can truly comfort!

Hmm. :{

Oh I wonder... :{

Yes, my first one was this, but then I wondered if you were just funnin'

?

So are you saying you hate that they were gay? Cause your meme makes you sound like you're tolerant, but then the Morpheus one makes you sound intolerant. ?

I was being both serious and comical about it. I really don't think you'd be as sympathetic if it were a group of bigots.

Do you ever say or make memes that ask for prayers for ISIS soldier's families? :{

I'm saying that what happened in Orlando was a tragedy because so many people entered eternity, probably unsaved. Whether homosexuals, the KKK, or whatever, it would still be a tragedy! I'm sorry if you don't understand, are you a Christian?

You need to research the translations of the Bible from Hebrew to Greek to English to know what it says and to not be led astray by false interpretations of it.

Hell is a pagan construct, nothing more. There is no Satan or devil.

I know, the greatest trick line. And that saying was coined/originated by a satanist in the 1500's. Satanists stand to gain A LOT if the uninformed mass of Christians perpetuates the belief in their horned "god".

Christianity only believes in them because of the Roman pagan's infiltration of the Church through mainly Constantine.

The name Jesus is also pagan and means Zeus. Messiah's name is actually Yehoshua, or Joshua in English.

The Hebrew word for Satan meant the adversary of God and meant the propensity of evil within humans.

Isiah 45:5 God said there are none besides God.

There is no entity controlling evil or embodying it. That's all from paganism.

Messiah always said the word Gehenna and that was translated into hades/hell/lake of fire. Messiah used Gehenna as a metaphor for the second death. As if you burn up in a flaming trash pit. But not eternal punishment. God is not petty.

Death takes the soul to Sheol, the land of the dead. Our souls, ALL souls, wait there for the Resurrection/Armageddon to occur. The wicked will perish and die a second death. The righteous will have eternal life.

I am a follower of Yehoshua and a daily researcher of the Bible and its translations. So I look and sound like a Christian to a degree, but to me, the true faith should have a different, non-pagan name.

The morpheus meme still sounds derogatory, but I understand what you meme.

I hope you research the Bible more so that you can see clearer. ESword is a great computer program to help, but there's plenty of other concordances that will get you closer to the correct translation of the Bible. :{

Also, it sounds like we agree, because you said the wicked will perish and die a second death, and the righteous will have eternal life.... what exactly is the second death if it's not eternal, and isn't it still sad for the victims in Orlando either way?

Thanks! I use ESword too :) In reference to Isaiah 45:5, Satan's not a god. Who do you think Jude 1:9 and Revelation 20:2 are referencing to?

"In reference to Isaiah 45:5, Satan's not a god. Who do you think Jude 1:9 and Revelation 20:2 are referencing to?"

I think you didn't read my comment properly. Or you just misunderstood parts of it.

I didn't say Satan is a god, I said that the concept of the devil/satan that Christianity falsely believes in is from the pagan horned god. But also from Hades/Pluto.

I'm saying there is NO entity that embodies evil or that there is no former angel that was given control of the world or hell.

All of that, ALL of it, comes from the Greek and Roman pagans.

Jude 1:9 is a metaphor or an example, not a literal event.

Revelation 20:2's dragon/devil/satan is ALSO METAPHOR. And it is referring to a country, not a being.

"what exactly is the second death if it's not eternal, and isn't it still sad for the victims in Orlando either way?"

But the argument wasn't that the second death is eternal or not, it was that the pagans corrupted Christianity into thinking that God is so petty as to punish you for eternity through torture and pain.

The second death is just your soul is destroyed, humanely. But by God so technically Godly.

The victims were all sinners, like the rest of us. They could still have accepted Yehoshua/God as their savior or could have been righteous in their lives. So they may or may not perish when Revelation occurs.

But of those that are truly wicked, no, it's not sad at all that they perish. They will have deserved it. And for those of them that were righteous, despite their sins, I don't see it as a sad thing that they are now with God and awaiting judgement.

I think it's cool that you use ESword. I hope you do the proper research into the Holy text so that you can truly follow God's word.

I also hope you can shed the pagan corruptions. :{

:) Thanks for the friendly argument! I always enjoy comments like this

I hate to annoy you with all my questions, but are you an annihilationist?

I've never heard that term until now.

No.

My knowledge of the Bible may sound similar to their beliefs, but I am a follower of Messiah.

I hold no denomination or titles.

I just research the correct interpretation of the Bible and apocryphal texts.

And I am against paganism and its corruption of the Church. :{

Yea I'm joining in this train, as a Catholic, I agree with you, probably 50+ souls did go to hell, Old Testament
The first mention in the Bible is in Genesis 19:1-13. The wicked men of Sodom attempted a homosexual rape of two messengers from God who had come to visit Lot. As a result of this and other widespread wickedness, God destroyed the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah in a storm of fire and brimstone.
Even as rape, it still homosexual act and I do not agree with it at all, BUT, killing is still wrong and the murder was horrible, but like another member said, if he owned a cake shop, a gay person comes in and buys a regular cake, I will treat him/her like a ever any other customer, but then they ask for me to make a gay wedding cake, I shall not interact with this, I don't care what anyone else thinks of me, I know what I know, if I'm wrong please tell me, but don't be mad, everyone has an opinion, please tell me nicely that I am wrong or right

Thanks for voicing your opinion! I really can't judge you, though. Your beliefs are between you and God!

Thank you! Finally a statement what makes perfect sense and everyone is happy

No matter what your race, religion, or gender is I think we can ALL agree that this was a tragic event

Thanks, TRHtimmy! Yes, that was the point of the meme :)
