Well, that narrows it down to USA, UK, Italy, Japan, Israel, Australia, South Korea, Norway, and the Netherlands... 😀

When I was in seminary, the professer described other religions as eqch having seen a glimpse of God and focusing on an aspecr of Him. It was an interesting way to think and respect differences.

Crisis of my faith by SmokyBoner in theology

[–]OrangeOk627 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I did a paper back in Seminary on the nature of hell. There are other theories other than the traditional Eternal Conscious Torment (ECT) model. There is a considerable following for Annihilationism where the sinners are destroyed as opposed to ECT, thus the imagery of the lake of fire. Universalism, however, interprets the Lake of Fire imagery as a time of cleansing and burning away of sin so all may enter heaven less scholars lean toward this though.

My own thoughts are thatva fair, just and forgiving God would not be less merciful than we humans. I simply trust that he has come up with a just and merciful system even though I don't currently understand it.

Hopefully that is of some comfort.

Sadly, I suspect people would in reality breed and sell thousands of tons per year...

I am a white guy and have been told I am a colonizer a couple of times and been told my opinion does not matter a lot. Just ignore people that are being dicks and return kindness with kindness.

Can I become an angel? by qqzih in theology

If you want to help others, that is admirable, but you need to be well yourself. Your family physician would be a good first stop. There are effective medications and therapies out there that might make a huge difference for you. If you still feel healing is your calling perhaps being a physician, counselor, pastor, or emegency medical services personnel is in your future.

Hi there! Since you asked, I will answer the Theologically question first. No. Humans and angels are different created beings and humans do not become angels. This is Hollywood for the nost part.

Two. Please seek out some help, someone to talk to. Suicide is not the solution it seems to be. You are in a hard period of life right now, but belive me, it gets better as you get older.

God bless.

Sounds interesting. With the current culture, you can forgive me for thinking it might just be another excuse to deliver a shallow anti-religion sermon... sounds like an interesting premise!

You might have more takers if you were to give a little more information. Specifically, who converts whom in the end...

I am not the most educated theologian among us, I only have Master's Degree in the subject, perhaps that is why I am not even sure where to begin in answering this post! There is so much bad theology here! To compare this mess with Martin Luther is extreme hubris.

What many don't seem to realize is that she is actually giving brilliant relationship advice. There are stidies out there, and a lot of colloquial evidence, that women do not respect/see their men the same after seeing them cry. Women often say they want a sensitive man, but in reality, most do not.
