If there is no pain, death and loss in heaven, does this mean there is no starvation either? Is there unlimited food and drink?
There's no starvation, I don't know about food but whatever it is, it is perfect

so they also have bad desires they act upon, or what constitutes sin if not that?

and seriously, free will in abrahamic religions is a scam anyway
Yeah but it isn't said that they had a body like Jesus Christ

Why is free will in abrahamic religions a scam?
 
no i will happily call out your bs whenever i see it.

i personally think its not ethical at all to alienate half the population and make big accusations against them due to their bad luck of being born in a patriarchal society. but you do you i guess
If you or anyone else is alienated by such a statement when it describes a documented reality, the problem is not the statement.
 
Yeah. You won't get one with this level a mind this closed. I don't wanna work for nothing this time. Especially when I will just repeat with other words what i've already explained multiple time before. As for the thought experiment, I told you what I know, meaning that to be able to learn something that challenges you, you need to take a leap of faith toward the other person.
This would have some meaning maybe if i was the main focus of the topic, but that topic started with 2 other users, so you are not giving them the explanation over what i said on the topic?

100% bad faith provocateur, trapped in a logically incoherent script, too afraid to actually adress anything or follow up on what you said you will do. incredibly arrogant and ignorant, truly pathetic little troll.

you didnt learn anything while moving from being reactionary to being radically left, you are using the exact same tactics people like matt walsh, charlie kirk, jordan peterson, etc regularly use for their ideological agenda.

because god could have easily created a world where the majority of people dont go to hell. and he knew this was going to happen to all of these people since he is omnicient. he had infinite possibilities for creation and it was he who chose for us to make it this way. so it really isnt my fault that im not convinced in his existence, he made me that way, but he still sees fit to torment me for eternity over it. Free will is a scam and god is kind of wicked

Luke 16:22-31

And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;

23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.

25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.

26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.

27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:

28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.

29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.

30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.

31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.



.

John 3:19-21

19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.


20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.


21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

.
You don't know what God could have done and couldn't have done, but the Bible says if you don't hear the scriptures then you won't be persuaded even if somebody rises from the dead, it says that the condemnation is that men loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil, because if you come to the light then your deeds will be reproved

When you receive salvation, you acknowledge you are a sinner, need Jesus Christ to save you, and trust him to save you, that's how you receive salvation

You are sinful, full of evil deeds, and you step into the light, you and God, out into the spotlight, and under the spotlight you say, yeah I'm wrong and you're right, I need you to help me

If you're not willing to humble yourself to ask him to save you, that's why you will be condemned

There is no sin that can send a person to hell, only rejecting Jesus Christ sends you to hell

You have it all laid out before you for free, you do not work for it, you do not pay for it, you can not even lose it, and you get to choose, receive it for free or pay for your own sins yourself

Job 38:1-21

Job 38





King James Version








38 Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,

2 Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?

3 Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.

4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.

5 Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?

6 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;

7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

8 Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?

9 When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it,

10 And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors,

11 And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed?

12 Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to know his place;

13 That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?

14 It is turned as clay to the seal; and they stand as a garment.

15 And from the wicked their light is withholden, and the high arm shall be broken.

16 Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? or hast thou walked in the search of the depth?

17 Have the gates of death been opened unto thee? or hast thou seen the doors of the shadow of death?

18 Hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth? declare if thou knowest it all.

19 Where is the way where light dwelleth? and as for darkness, where is the place thereof,

20 That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, and that thou shouldest know the paths to the house thereof?

21 Knowest thou it, because thou wast then born? or because the number of thy days is great?


.


Job 42:1-6

Then Job answered the Lord, and said,


2 I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withholden from thee.

3 Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.

4 Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.

5 I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee.

6 Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.

You don't know what God could have done and couldn't have done

i was still religious half my life dude. i have tried to be humble and ask for salvation. i even visited the supposedly holy site of fatima in portugal.

He is omnipotent, but he is also holy, just, good, etc

I think it's a matter of being humble

This is a quote from the one who made you:

Job 40:6-14

6 Then answered the Lord unto Job out of the whirlwind, and said,

7 Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.

8 Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous?

9 Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like him?

10 Deck thyself now with majesty and excellency; and array thyself with glory and beauty.

11 Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behold every one that is proud, and abase him.

12 Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place.

13 Hide them in the dust together; and bind their faces in secret.

14 Then will I also confess unto thee that thine own right hand can save thee.
 
"We shall be like him"

Everyone that trusted in Jesus Christ for their salvation will one day be infinetly stronger in the real world, than characters like Luffy or Goku

He did make humans have only good desires, but he also gave them free will to choose whether they would sin or not

No I didn't answer it yet, it's very simple and I will lay out 5 points:





1. Everyone is a sinner

Romans 3:23: ‘For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God’





2. The punishment for sin is a burning hell

Revelation 21:8: ‘But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death’





3. Jesus died to save your soul from death

Romans 5:8-9: ‘But God commandeth his love towards us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.’




4. You can not earn your way to heaven with good works

Ephesians 2:8-9: ‘For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast.’




5. Say that you believe that Jesus died for your sins

Romans 10:9: ‘That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.’


.


If you want to I can show you where in the Bible it says that you can not lose your salvation, but this is how you receive it ^
So it is of no consequence if i do evil deeds as long as i confess with my mouth that jesus died for my sins and rose again?
 
He is omnipotent, but he is also holy, just, good, etc

I think it's a matter of being humble

This is a quote from the one who made you:

Job 40:6-14

6 Then answered the Lord unto Job out of the whirlwind, and said,

11 Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behold every one that is proud, and abase him.

12 Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place.

13 Hide them in the dust together; and bind their faces in secret.

14 Then will I also confess unto thee that thine own right hand can save thee.
if god was omnibenevolent and omnipotent, wouldnt he create every human being in a way where they would enter heaven instead of eternal punishment and torture?
Post automatically merged:

There's consequences, but hell is not one of them and once you are face to face with him you will go to heaven, your soul is saved
so i will go to heaven and get my soul saved regardless of my evil deeds if i accept that jesus died for my sins?

Well first things first:

We're pretty dumb

And not just pretty dumb, but we also very little information to work with about how stuff works

Put those two things together, and if we try to reason out God by our own logic, we're going to make a disaster, but


It could be an issue of free will, after all you have salvation for free that you can't lose

what about people who are not aware of the gospel due to their birth location or upbringing in a different religion?

and i dont know, i think its a very simple thought that an omnibenevolent god wouldnt create most humans to torture them eternally. that is, again, kind of wicked.

Well I mean

There's consequences in this life and in the afterlife

In the afterlife, you will lose rewards at the judgement seat of Christ, when Jesus said to lay up treasures in heaven, he meant treasures, you're going to want them once you see them and losing them would suck

But hell is not one of those consequences and you will end up in heaven



There's a bunch of consequences though:
1. God scourgeth every son whom he receiveth so if you want God to discipline you more than he already would, go ahead and live in sin

2. God could make you sick or make you die

3. You will reap what you sow, being rude to people will not send you to hell if you're saved, but, it will probably lead to you reaping the reality that almost nobody would like you

4. You lose rewards at the judgement seat of Christ
 
In the afterlife, you will lose rewards at the judgement seat of Christ, when Jesus said to lay up treasures in heaven, he meant treasures, you're going to want them once you see them and losing them would suck
so its not perfect for everyone, there are levels to heaven depending on my deeds and their consequences?

as an omnibenevolent being would of course, totally not petty and spiteful

I will look into it more and let you know, to be sure, but

God didn't make people to send them to hell



.

Matthew 25:41
41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

.

Hell is prepared for the devil and his angels

Which you know, if you're not already convinced that hell would suck, keep in mind it's prepared not for your torment, but for the torment of immortal beings who are more disgusting than any pedophile, any nazi, any dictator, any rapist, any murderer
 
3. You will reap what you sow, being rude to people will not send you to hell if you're saved, but, it will probably lead to you reaping the reality that almost nobody would like you
IRL i happen to be extremely nice and polite to people, so much so that some of my friends constantly tell me that i am too nice. . . even to people i dont like myself

Here, I'll say it: Jesus was a human being.
You may burn me at the stake now.
christians also believe jesus to be human. and they believe him to be god. for jesus, these are not mutually exclusive, he is fully human and fully god
 
What business do you have being tormented in the same place with immortal beings who are that evil and disgusting?

You have a get out of jail free card, just tell God that he's right and you're wrong and ask him to save you and trust him for it
