Idea about "Hell"
I KNOW what Heaven is. Just because I don't believe in your twisted idea of Heaven to fit your view of being superior I am wrong? You have a weird interpretation of the bible and that's all it is as far as I am concerned. I continue to read the Bible in the hopes I will figure things out on my own. I do not go to church at all I stopped at a very young age because I saw through the things they tried to teach me but, I still don't believe God is a racist that only put some people here for the purpose to burn in hell and their is nothing they can do about it.
Revelation 22:14 "Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city"

Idea about "Hell"
No matter what they truth maybe I will never put down or enslave another human to satisfy my own needs and wants. For it is someone I am not. The Lord made me who I am and their is nothing I can or would want to do about it.

Do you believe Jesus is your lord and savior?

Idea about "Hell"
The only thing I wanna know is....
Why make such a massive universe, with stars and planets and galaxies strewn about if you're just going to ignore it all and focus on on little blue and green planet? Why not make life on other planets and care about them too? Seems like it would have been a lot easier to just forget the rest and make just our Earth.

If being a good person damns me so be it. Like you said the Lord has a plan and this is his plan for me.

Would we be any better for doing the same? Does the Lord not teach us to be loving and forgiving of our fellow man? The bible seems to contradict it self if this is true.......

You seem to interpret many things differently then I including my posts. I said that IF it were true then it would contradict it self. Please do not put words in my mouth.

MATTHEW 5:7 "Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy."
5:8 "Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall be called the children of God."
5:9 "Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God."
5:10 "Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake:for their's is the kingdom of heaven."
5:11 " Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake."
5:20 "For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven."
5:39 " But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but, whoever so shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other side."
5:42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away."
5:44 "But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despite fully use you, and persecute you;"
5:47 "And if you salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?"
This seems to be plenty proof that the lord wishes us to love our fellow man.

Matthews 5:38 " Ye have heard that it hath been said, AN EYE FOR AN EYE, AND A TOOTH FOR A TOOTH:"
5:39 " But I say unto you, That ye not resist evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also."
I think that this makes it clear that was said in the old is not of relevance for the new says different. I think this shows that God's plan has changed. That this shows his merciful side.
Matthews 5:47 "And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?"

So first you said the lord meant for us to love our fellow Israelites. Now you say that we should love our fellow man for the time being. It seems you are actively trying to find ways for the scriptures to fit your views. I wonder what you will say about my last post. I have eyes and I can read. The bible has never been so clear to me. I thank you for telling me to read the bible and keep reading it because I am beginning to understand the lords plan.
