   Jesus told him, "Thou shalt not tempt the Lord they God". Satan knew who he   
   was, for that reason thousands of babies under the age of two were killed.

   Answer the question for yourself. Jesus made no secret of the Fact that he we   
   the "SON of GOD" His Heavenly Father. He told Martha that he was going to see   
   His God and her God. That he was doing the Work of His Heavenly Father.   
      
   You cannot understand these things because you have no part with Him. Whoever   
   denies Him he will deny them before His Heavenly Father.

   Because you misquote this here it is repeated and the third verse answered   
   your question.   
      
   Just like the last time you brought this up.   
      
   Ecc 3:19-21   
      
   19 For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing   
   befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one   
   breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity.   
      
   20 All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.   
      
   21 Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the   
   beast that goeth downward to the earth?   
      
   Obviously, you do not know, yet you claim to believe ALL the Bible.

   They are Godly People, these are the ones who have their names written in the   
   "Book of Life".

   Your torture will come prom two places, one being your personal knowledge of   
   the sins you committed which will haunt you forever and ever, according to   
   your deeds. Two being the demons of hell who will taunt and torture you as   
   you did to others by your sins, and in part because you were created in the   
   Likeness of God, "On His Image" and so they will take out their hatred on you   
   as well.

   > There really isn't. The Bible uses fire to symbolize complete destruction,   
   not living torture,   
      
   Yet you have been shown very many scriptures that what you claim, is a total   
   lie. That also includes the story that Jesus Told about the rich man in   
   heaven, and Lazarus. That the rich man begged for a drop of water on his   
   tongue due to the heat there.   
      
   And think about it, Jesus Died caring for you, bearing your sins, he was   
   tortured for you that you might ask and receive eternal life, Yet you spit on
