Does God deserve hell? Do his followers? All Gods are created the same way. Even yours and mine. Here is a near perfect analogy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06jF1EG8o-Q"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06jF1EG8o-Q As a Gnostic Christian and esoteric ecumenist, I can see this plainly. That does not mean that there is nothing that we would call other worldly or God. God, of a sort, is real, --- and as archetypal Jesus says, --- he is within all of us. We are Gods. Have ye forgotten that you are created by nature in the image of God? Many scriptures show Jesus telling man to step up to his responsibilities yet few will call their God “I am”, and do as Jesus demands. Have “I am” mean you. You have to accept that there is no power greater than yourself. To do otherwise puts God in hell. ----------------------------------- “The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.” ― Richard Dawkins, The God Delusion ------------------------------------ Job 2;3 And the LORD said unto Satan: 'Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a whole-hearted and an upright man, one that feareth God, and shunneth evil? and he still holdeth fast his integrity, although thou didst move Me against him, to destroy him without cause.' God admits to sin and may belong in hell. What do you think? Regards DL
Just one small change- We are god-not part of god. Everything is one. Its our delusion that we separate. Hell Does not exist. Neither does Evil. Its just absence of heaven and absence of good. (Like shadows are cast when things are opaque)
I have heard that man is supposed to be created in god's image. So god is warlike? I have to agree with above post....any god energy is everything .....and not separate.
Yes... when I said a part of God is in all of us I didn't mean that we are separate and I agree totally with the above posts. The funny thing is I actually saw once a long, long time ago how we are all One.. not separated. The delusion went away and I actually saw this crystal clear and before then I didn't even realize this was the case. It was a very enlightening experience for me. In any case, I agree we are God. And hell... hm, yes, I would say it's when someone blocks out their true existence and what they truly are... being too focused on ego, etc that they would be in a state of hell.
Yes, as God is guilty of more infractions than Satan is. Or do you see all those murders attributed to God as justified just because God did it? Regards DL
Wise of you to recognize the truth. Look into Gnostic Christianity. You will like it. It is way more moral than Christianity. Regards DL
I wonder if Hell is a hot, fiery planet somewhere out in the galaxy. I wonder if that could be where some people get blasted off to when they die. Just a thought...
Interesting thought, Ari.... I often have thought this earth and life for some is hell.....can be.....
I've never come up with that thought of mine before. It just popped into my head. I'll enjoy pondering it.
If hell existed - and it doesn't - the Abrahamic Old Testament God most surely earned an eternal scorching. He's a genocidal, narcissistic lunatic. (Fortunately, he ain't real either.)
