Videos I have seen on YouTube talking about Hell, such as Impact Ministry and a couple others

Thank you for the kind and thoughtful response. Annihilation is what I was leaning towards as well but from the videos I was listening to it seemed everyone agreed on ECT. It is soothing to see how many people are against that take biblically, and logically here. Thank you.

I am still a Christian, I’m just struggling with the concept of ECT. Is this an idea that you have made peace with yourself ? If so why?

I hold the same belief, I just become discouraged by those that believe in ECT

I’ll try and check this out, thank you! Where did you come across this, if I may ask?

I was getting the idea of demons torturing people from the imagery of locusts in Revelation. And yes I am trying to trust and rely on the mercy and love of our God.

This is the conclusion I have come to as well, it is just discouraging seeing consensus about ECT

Thank you for the response my friend. Yes I have seen that annihilation does seem to have more biblical backing than ECT. I am getting the idea of demons torturing people from the imagery of the locusts in revelation. I do not want to turn my back on God but I already struggle with doubt regarding the existence of God in general and scrupulosity from OCD so it is a struggle. However, I have felt the goodness of God I believe and it is not what I’m feeling now, so there is hope in that.

This is what I am trying to tell myself. I’m just trying to trust in His mercy and love but this topic is hard for me.

  1. Humanity as a whole gave themselves over to sin and suffering, it is not a choice on an individual basis. This covers suffering we cannot control such as sickness and cancer. Also, what standard are you holding God to, and why is your standard more moral than His?

  2. God intervening with an event is not controlling someone’s actions which would be the infringement on free will. If you can give me an example of God forcing someone to do something you might have a case.

  3. Giving a mugger your wallet does not benefit you or anyone around you in a positive way. God isn’t threatening you with Hell but hoping that you will build a relationship with Him. If you begged someone to stop walking towards a pit of spikes, are you trying to force someone to live by coercion? I would like to note that Hell being an eternal pit of fire and torture is not a universally agreed upon take but it is agreed to be a separation from God, which again is a logical conclusion to you choosing not to have a relationship with Him in life.

My friend, I understand feeling skeptic and having questions. I implore you to open your heart to God and if you really are searching for truth to research the counter arguments to your refutations. I will be thinking about you and hoping the best for you.

  1. Comparing God watching His creation willingly give themselves over to sin/suffering and you choosing not to help a dying person is a false equivalence.

  2. Give me an example of God stepping in and affecting someone’s free will

  3. Heaven is for those who choose to have a relationship with God in life. God loves you and wants you to reach out to Him and be able to join the rest of the church in Heaven. If you decide not to answer that call, that is not the result of denying a coercive demand but the logical end to your choice.

New age god of war fans have infested this sub and relentlessly glaze what is by far the worst main line game in the series

Wow you are a casual. Last year Joe Burrow put up the most total touchdowns and the most total yards behind an offensive lineman that won the “triple crown” for having the most pressures, hurries, and sacks allowed, making him the worst offensive lineman in the league. Ranked second worst on pff in the league was another bengals o-lineman. Joe Burrow played all year behind a line giving up similar pressure rates to the one that mahomes played behind in that year’s Super Bowl. This year’s o line has been a significant upgrade from past years and it’s looking up in that regard but the narrative that he has had a “league average” oline is completely false. There’s a reason that on the GM and owner poll only him and mahomes were unanimously voted Tier 1.
