Idea about "Hell"
You wouldn't be yelling at me, my good sir! Because I'd be walking away. You'd just be yelling. If the two of us were sitting together, in-person, I have a feeling we'd be discussing these topics and the Bible like civil adults. You make commanding statements, and for that I'll again commend you, but I still think you're going about it the wrong way. I've never once had to be forceful with my views in order to help a new believer put things into context. I remember all too well from my days of agnosticism how blunt and dogmatic some people could be, and I promised myself when I got saved that I would never be one of those people. But I've still managed to save a lot of people through civil discussion, and continue to do so to this day.

Edifying: "to instruct or benefit, esp. morally or spiritually; UPLIFTING." Now, this could all boil down to semantics, as I'm not really sure what the Greek or Hebrew translation is, but I think the concept remains unchanged.
Again, kudos to you! Your heart is in the right place! But, this is also my life, too. I also live by the words that I preach. To do otherwise would be utterly hypocritical. If what you're doing is working for you, then keep doing it, by all means. But, try not to get testy with others who are also doing the same, just with a less demanding attitude. We're fighting for the same cause here, brother! We both have the same DREAMS, after all, and our life's purpose seems to be similar: to draw others closer to God.
