Stop!! Don't go to Hell!! !!
"That's right you heard me Please Don't Go To Hell!" "If you have never bowed your knee and made Jesus Christ the Lord of Your life....THEN that is exactly where your life is headed!"
If you are on here reading this and this ticks you off..THEN GOOD! GET MAD...GET REALLY MAD and then STOP and THINK.
"Why would I say such a harsh and cold and condemning statement?" "Because I want you to go there?"
Does a weatherman ...who interrupts your moment in time to "warn you that their is a Tornado heading your direction" "want you to die?" "Did the forecaster's on the Weather Channel describing Hurricane Katrina "want people in it's path to die?" NO JUST THE OPPOSITE
You might come on here or view other "christians" as those who are narrow minded and hateful BECAUSE we warn of a place called HELL. But it's out of Love and Compassion that we warn..that we plead...."knowing the Terror of the Lord" we beg you to hear ...it would be so wrong NOT too. If you had the cure to a deadly disease and kept it to yourself ..what kind of criminal would you be?
"well why would a Loving God create such a place...why would He allow for it?"
Before you were even born...God had made a way of Escape...."while you were yet lost in your sins...Jesus Christ had already died in your place"
Before a hurricane ever hit land...people had a choice to stay in the place it would hit..and depend on themselves or take heed to the warning and flee the wrath to come
If you are reading this....A STORM WARNING is going out....IF YOU ARE LOST in sin...If you have never called upon the name of Jesus and you are trusting in your own wisdom ..trusting in yourself....You will NOT Survive the Storms of Life that are coming and You will die in your sins and spend your eternal existence in a Place called Hell.
But their is goodnews ..you do have a choice because God isn't willing that Any should Perish and He has instructed Us to tell you so......So Please..."take Cover"...."call upon The Name of Jesus Christ and Be Safe!
For Whoever Calls upon the Name of The Lord shall be Saved!! !!
HELL
A place of weeping and gnashing of teeth - And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth" (Matthew 25:30
A place of torments - "And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom" (Luke 16:23).
A place of Sorrows - "The sorrows of hell compassed me about; the snares of death prevented me;" (2 Samuel 22:6).
A place of weeping and gnashing of teeth - And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth" (Matthew 25:30).
A place of outer darkness - "Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth" (Matthew 22:13).
A place of torments - "And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom" (Luke 16:23).
A place of Sorrows - "The sorrows of hell compassed me about; the snares of death prevented me;" (2 Samuel 22:6).
A place of everlasting destruction - "Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;" (II Thessalonians 1:9).
A place where men are tormented with fire and brimstone - "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" (Revelation 21:8).
A place where fire is not quenched - "Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched" (Mark 9:44).
A bottomless pit - "And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit" (Revelation 9:2).
A place of no rest - "And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name" (Revelation 14:11).
It is ultimately a lake of fire - "And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death" (Revelation 20:14).
A place of hopeless of unsatisfied desires - "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 " (Luke 16:24). The rich man wanted water but could not get any.
A place of hopelessness and suffering - as a woman is about to give birth to a child, many go through painful labor that can last from a few minutes to a few days. But through this painful anguishing time, there is hope that when the child is born this terrible labor pain will subside. Just imagine if you can if that pain was multiplied many times over and you would never have hope of it ever going away forever? You would do anything to die to get rid of the pain, but it would always remain and continue forever and ever and ever. THIS IS HELL!
A place of memory - When a person is tormented with a bitter memory they sometimes may commit suicide as a way out. In hell this is impossible because your spirit will never die, but will always remember how you sold your soul for the pleasures of this short sinful life. You will continue to always wish you were in heaven instead of hell, if only you would have made the right decision.
Oh man or woman, boy or girl without Christ, if only you would realize how dangerously close you are to hell. With each second that passes by, you are drawing nearer and nearer to hell. Actually this night your soul may be required of you and will pass into an eternity of the fires of hell that are never quenched!
(btw don't bother flaming or attacking me cause this is possibly my last post so this might just be my final warning to you)

i could warn you about the impending invasion of the chartreuse plastic people from the 4th planet from Betelgeuse and i could quite possibly really mean it..but it doesn't make it any more a reality.

Christians are really really concerned with Hell, since they all secretly fear their God who is vengeful and malicious and who is just itching to toss people into a lake of fire. You see, every Christian, deep down inside, believes that no matter what he does, the torment of Hell is his fate. Several iterations of Christianity, especially Calvinism (Fred Phelps of Westboro Baptist Church is a doctrinaire Calvinist), say that humans can not influence where they go after death, and that even the most fervent proclamations of Jesus may not be enough to escape the flames. Furthermore, God is malicious and vengeful. That adds up to one really frightening religion.
Mormonism and other Protestant-Calvinist offshoots are filled with people utterly convinced that no matter how good they are that God will find some insignificant reason to throw them into Hell. Compared to that, even some versions of Buddhism that say laypeople (ie not monks) are doomed to reincarnate forever and never be enlightened look great. Many Christians are kept in a state of constant terror due to fear of Hell, so they are easily manipulated by the preachers. In fact, Western society is built around the idea of unspeakable consequences for failure to follow what the elite want you to do, all from the Ur-Fear of Hell.
Christianity is a declining and dying faith, and it's about time. Islam is much more passive, especially the farther away from the Taliban you go. Everything is the will of Allah, period. There's no use trying to change Allah's mind. Not that I'm a big fan of Islam, but you can see why it is surpassing Christianity to become the world's biggest faith. In Islam, Hell is reserved for those whose LACK of action condemns them, while Christianity says that everything one does is a Hell worthy sin that must be atoned for. Therefore, everyday living is enough to merit Christian Hell-action in itself is condemning. I feel sorry for people who live like that, who see demons everywhere and who die utterly convinced that Hell is their fate due to some insignificant thing. What a sick sick religion.
It's not an unreasonable thing to think when most of the laws of Christianity defy our instincts and what we're drawn to do (ie, who here DOESN'T masturbate?). So they're stuck in this constant fear of dying at the wrong time and being stuck with their sins and going to hell. They're essentially put into a moral lottery system where when they die could end up determining if they get eternal pleasure or pain.
It's quite an absurd means of thinking and living.

I actually think of a couple ideas and one of my own that point out why that was an effective way to go about it:
1). It gives people the ability to personalize or interpret that place as being whatever they'd want it to be.
2). It keeps heaven itself free from scholarly debate or any cognitive tripwires, making it actually dominant in that sense over hell in the idea's power or pull with the imaginations of the living.
3). If you really had a place where there were the basal/animalistic needs of the people within in were utterly cleaved and removed - what they'd want, what would make them happy, how they would behave in an ongoing manner and how the surrounding structure would reflect that; extremely difficult to explain that place in an inspiring way to someone who can't imagine living without such needs as food, water, air, sex, prestige, money, outlets for catharsis of pain - mainly because the secondary and tertiary realities that creates are too distant and too far down the chain/divorced from their own reality.
Most laws of any kind defy our instincts, since it is the things we want to do that are bad for us (or others) that we need to be told not to do -- not things that are good for us that we want to, since we'll be doing those things anyway.
Your example is wrong, masturbation is not forbidden in Christianity.
This is a misunderstanding of Christian doctrine.

The Muslims at least figure a good deal of screwing goes on. Without all that satisfaction of physical needs you might as well be dead.
not explicitly the mechanics but much of the mental process of it is.

Phelps may say he's a Calvinist or a Christian, but that doesn't make it true. Actually, he's just a leader of an obnoxious hate cult. I would trust Phelps on theology about as much as I would trust Hitler to be kind to Jews.
I'm not a Calvinist myself, but that's a misunderstanding of Calvinism.
Christianity: "Turn the other cheek."
Islam: "Conquer the unbelievers."
This is exactly what Christianity says also, especially Calvinists. Christians and Muslims are agreed on this point.
Again a misunderstanding. Christianity doesn't condemn all actions.

Actually, in Islamic Shariah, conquest is allowed if invaded first or if Mulims in country which is going to be invaded are persecuted. Nevertheless, most Islamic rulers have ignored this law.
Also, according to Islamic Shariah, there is no compulsion in religion, unless you're an apostate. However, you're free to tax the non-believers as much as you want.
The statement that "Islam spread by the sword", in my opinion, is mostly untrue. Only in few instances have non-Muslims been forcibly converted. For example, in Nuristan, Afghanistan. Nuristan stands for "land of the light". However, its name until 1895 was "Kafiristan" - land of the heathens. The Durranis conquered the 'Kafirs', who practiced a religion which the Kalash of Chitral still practiced today (a syncretic version of the pre-Zoroastrian pre-Hindu faith with Greek pagan elements), and forced them to convert.
Expansion during the various Islamic dynasties was such - Expansion of territory. Not much different from Roman expansion or expansion that took place throughout man's written and unwritten history. After conquest, they taxed the non-Muslims and preached, similar to how the Russians preached to the Turkic tribes across Siberia after conquering them.
