        Hell doesn't exist, it's a pagan doctrine that already existed in Egyptian, Mesopotamian, Indian and Greek religion. It was then adopted by professed "christians" and later by islam.

        Eternal torment would violate God’s justice. (Deuteronomy 32:4) When the first man, Adam, sinned, God told him that his punishment would simply be to pass out of existence:
        “Dust you are and to dust you will return.” (Genesis 3:19)

        God would have been LYING if he were actually sending Adam to a fiery hell !!!

        God does not even contemplate eternal torment. The idea that he would punish people in hellfire is contrary to the Bible’s teaching that “God is LOVE.”—1 John 4:8; Jeremiah 7:31.

            It's not implicit it's explicit dumb frog cultist troon
            Another puzzle: how does Jesus save if there's no damnation? What's gracious about the cross if there is no hell? What am I saved from?

            You should be especially worried since you do not follow the Christ of the bible and are yourself going to that sickening location

            Imagine, for a moment, the following horrific scene: A person is being roasted on a hot iron plate. In his agony he screams for mercy, but nobody listens. The torture goes on and on, hour after hour, day after day—without pause !

            Whatever crime the victim may have committed, would not your heart go out to him? What of the one who ordered the torture? Could he be a loving person ?

            In no way !!!

            Love is merciful and shows pity. A loving father may punish his children, but he would NEVER torture them !

            >how does Jesus save if there's no damnation? What's gracious about the cross if there is no hell? What am I saved from?

            Glad you asked !

            Although Adam was created to live forever, his sin brought upon him the penalty of death. Through Adam, “sin entered into the world and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because they had all sinned.”—Romans 5:12.

            In contrast, Jesus’ death not only removed the blemish of sin but also canceled the death sentence for all who exercise faith in him. The Bible sums up matters this way: “Just as sin ruled as king with death, so also undeserved kindness might rule as king through righteousness leading to everlasting life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”—Romans 5:21.

            Of course, humans today still have a limited life span. However, God promises that he will grant righteous humans everlasting life and resurrect the dead so that they too can benefit from Jesus’ sacrificial death.—Psalm 37:29; 1 Corinthians 15:22.

            God's standards.

            eternal torment of the wicked INCOMPATIBLE with God’s personality

            Jer. 7:31: “They have built the high places of Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, in order to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire, a thing that I had not commanded and that had not come up into my heart.”

            If it never came into God’s heart, surely he does not have and use such a thing on a larger scale.

            Illustration: What would you think of a parent who held his child’s hand over a fire to punish the child for wrongdoing ?

            “God is LOVE.” (1 John 4:8)

            Would he do what no right-minded human parent would do ?

            Certainly not !

            Studying history doesn't hurt too

            And here's what history says:

            “It is noteworthy that in the N[ew] T[estament] we do not find hell fire to be a part of the [early Christian] preaching.”—A Dictionary of Christian Theology.

            “From the middle of the 2nd century [C.E.] Christians who had some training in Greek philosophy began to feel the need to express their faith in its terms . . . The philosophy that suited them best was Platonism [the teachings of Plato].” (Encyclopædia Britannica)

            That philosophy included belief in fiery torment after death.

            “Of all classical Greek philosophers, the one who has had the greatest influence on traditional views of Hell is Plato.”—Histoire des enfers (The History of Hell).

            We didn't invent a new religion.

            In the 19th century, a small group of Bible students who lived near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in the United States, began a systematic analysis of the Bible.

            They compared the doctrines taught by the churches with what the Bible really teaches. They began publishing what they learned in books, newspapers, and the journal that is now called The Watchtower—Announcing Jehovah’s Kingdom.

            They took the lead in the Bible education work at that time but were not the founders of a new religion.

            The goal of the Bible Students, as the group was then known, was to promote the teachings of Jesus Christ and to follow the practices of the first-century Christian congregation.

            In 1931, they took a new name: Jehovah's Witnesses !

            Since JESUS is the Founder of Christianity, we view HIM as the founder of our organization.

            If they left the true religion that means they want to be left alone, so we respect their wishes and leave them alone and don't interfere with their life.

            I fail to see the issue.

            Other religions like islam chase after apostates to kill them yet they are considered a religion.

            >Which of course could survive around 1500 years of being entirely upon the hands of apostates save 3 guys in a mountain. Because idk god made it so the catholics etc didn't edit the book however they pleased.

            In his illustration of the wheat and the weeds, Jesus foretold a great rebellion (apostasy) against true Christianity. (Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43) For a long period of time, true Christians and false Christians would be indistinguishable. Just as Jesus foretold, the apostasy flourished after the apostles died. (Acts 20:29, 30)
            Jesus also predicted that the distinction between true and false Christianity would eventually become clear. This has happened in our time, during the “conclusion of a system of things.”—Matthew 13:30, 39.

      Yes they do.

      The idea of eternal torment is REPUGNANT to God. (Jeremiah 32:35) Such an idea is CONTRARY to the Bible’s teaching that “God is love.” (1 John 4:8) He wants us to worship him out of love, not fear of eternal torment.—Matthew 22:36-38.

      The dead are unconscious and so cannot feel pain. “Neither work, nor reason, nor wisdom, nor knowledge, shall be in hell.” (Ecclesiastes 9:10, Douay-Rheims Version) Hell is not filled with sounds of pain. Free yourself from the clutches of paganism, wordhip God with spirit and truth.

      Do not ascribe to him the horrific traits of a psychopath. Jehovah is love and wickedness is absent from his nature.

    How come ?

    Because

    It comes from PAGAN RELIGION. Hell was invented in the time of NIMROD and has since spread to other ancient civilizations like India, Egypt, Mesopotamia and Greece

    btw israelites DON'T believe in hell

    Catholislam has adopted this heathen belief and fearmongers their believers with this fake teaching. Babylon the Great (all false religions) feeds on such distortions of truth to mass control its devotees.

          Wpuld you want me to cite the church fathers instead ? Or your theology scholars at the seminar ?

          Surely you would agree God's Word is the highest authority we must appeal to.

          And God's word says that he has set death, NOT torment in a fiery hell, as the penalty for sin.

          God told the first man, Adam, that the penalty for breaking God’s law would be death. (Genesis 2:17) He said NOTHING about eternal torment in hell !!

          Later, after Adam sinned, God told him what his punishment would be: “DUST you are and to DUST you will return.” (Genesis 3:19)

          He would pass out of existence. If God were actually sending Adam to a fiery hell, He surely would have mentioned it. God has not changed the punishment for defying his laws.

          Long after Adam sinned, God inspired a Bible writer to say: “The wages sin pays is death.” (Romans 6:23) No further penalty is justified, because “the one who has died has been acquitted from his sin.”—Romans 6:7.

    While Dirk is typing his reply to answer my question, let me inform everyone that it was Satan, in the garden of Eden, (at Genesis 3:1-5,) who contradicted God outright, saying, "You positively will not die," and that we are "bound to be like God."

    Thus was born the concept of the immortality of the soul and from it, all manner of guesswork about what happens to this immortal soul was born and developed.

    As a result, the first destructive religion against God was born, bringing death to its adherents, using the doctrine of the immortality of the soul to control people with intimidation, providing a self-reinforcing dogma that keeps people trapped into the belief out of fear of burning in eternal judgment in an afterlife, and trapped into whatever else the deceiver tells them.

    Of this one, Jesus said, "The Devil ... was a murderer when he began, and he did not stand fast in the truth, because truth is not in him. When he speaks the lie, he speaks according to his own disposition, because he is a liar and the father of the lie." (John 8:44)

    Should we listen to even a single word of that liar ??

    The idea that “the machines are going to take over” is one that’s been around as long as the written word, if not longer. From the Luddite movement of the 18th and 19th centuries, to the Industrial Revolution. Now as now, technology is progressing at an exponentially increasing rate and there’s no stopping it. Some argue that this is a good thing, others that the machines will ultimately bring about the demise of humanity.

    The belief in Hellfire was used to justify TORTURE

    During the time period commonly referred to as the Spanish Inquisition, those convicted of heresy and burned at the stake were said to be given “a taste of what perpetual hellfire would be like,” supposedly in hopes that they would repent before dying. (The Spanish Inquisition, by Jean Plaidy)

    Similarly, Queen Mary I of England burned some 300 Protestants at the stake, reportedly believing that “as the souls of heretics are afterwards to be eternally burning in hell, there could be nothing more proper than to imitate the divine vengeance, by burning them on earth.”—Universal History, by Alexander Tytler.

    Protestants too, burned other people to the stake. Calvin set my JW brother Michael Servetus on fire simply for refusing to buy the LIE of the trinity.

    Have JWs ever set anyone on fire or tormented someone ?

    No, because our God is a God of PEACE, MERCY and TOLERANCE.

    Protestants could consciencisouly inflict agony and pain to other people because the apple does not fall far from the tree !

    Their GOD is like this as well ! And so are the GODSnof catholics and islam !

    8.8 BILLION deaths throughout history !!
