   > person was accused of being a heretic.

   > It also happens in plane crashes when the fuel in the wings gets   
   > ignighted. And also in automobile wrecks and house fires etc.   
   >   
   > It is a terrible way to die. Yet most of Christendom accuses God of   
   > doing the same. And they make God's way even worse. At least in the   
   > above examples, the victims eventually die and are no longer in agony.   
   > But in God's example, they say He burns them alive for all eternity!   
   >   
   > Even Hitler was better than what Christendom accuses God of. Hitler   
   > gassed them to death first, then burned the DEAD bodies. That makes   
   > Hitler a tiny bit more moral than they make God!   
   >   
   > But don't fret. Their teachings are teachings from the demons. Satan   
   > loves to paint a picture of a morally corrupt and evil God. And Satan   
   > gets his human servants to carry out his decadent ways, esp most of   
   > Christendom who are dupes in his plans.   
   >   
   > So if God doesn't burn unrepentant wicked persons, how does He   
   > administer justice to them? He puts them in the same condition they   
   > were in before they were born: non existence. That is the 'humane' way   
   > to do it. Ps 5:6a,   
   >   
   > "You will destroy those who speak lies."   
   >   
   > Notice "destroy", not torture forever. Mt 10:28,   
   >   
   > "And do not become fearful of those who kill the body but cannot kill   
   > the soul; rather, fear him who can destroy both soul and body in   
   > Ge·hen´na."   
   >   
   > Notice not 'torture' forever in Gehenna, but DESTROY them.   
   >   
   > Even the demons will eventually get the same fate as wicked humans. Mr   
   > 1:24b,   
   >   
   > "Did you come to destroy us?" Ps 9:5,   
   >   
   > "You have rebuked nations and destroyed the wicked,   
   > Blotting out their name forever and ever."   
   >   
   > Notice, if the wicked are burning alive in a hellfire place, they are   
   > still alive and their name is still active forever. Ps 37:38a,   
   >   
   > "But all the transgressors will be destroyed;" Luke 13:3,   
   >   
   > "No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise be   
   > destroyed." And this popular Scripture: John 3:16,   
   >   
   > "For God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son,   
   > so that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but   
   > have everlasting life."   
   >   
   > Notice Jesus didn't say 'tortured forever', but DESTROYED. John   
   > 10:27,28,   
   >   
   > "27 My sheep listen to my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.   
   > 28 I give them everlasting life, and they will by no means ever be   
   > destroyed, and no one will snatch them out of my hand." Acts 3:23,   
   >   
   > "Indeed, anyone who does not listen to that Prophet will be completely   
   > destroyed from among the people" 2 Pet 2:9,10,   
      
      
   All of this is your garbage that is not true at all, and the Bible says   
   no such things at all.   I shall show you right here, 2 Pet 2:9,10   
      
   Says this''''   
   9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly from temptation, but to   
   reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be tormented.   
      
     10 And especially them who walk after the flesh in the lust of   
   uncleanness, and despise government, audacious, self willed, they fear   
   not to bring in sects, blaspheming.   
      
   And this is you,  self willed, Blaspheming, for you refuse the true   
   catholic church and her true laws,  which is God's Government, and post   
   all this crap against the true Bible and her laws,, telling people, that   
   it says this, and your using quotes to do so, when it is all lies of   
   your own.   
      
      
      
      
      
   >   
   > "So, then, Jehovah knows how to rescue people of godly devotion out of   
   > trial, but to reserve unrighteous people to be destroyed on the day of   
   > judgment, 10 especially those who seek to defile the flesh of others   
   > and who despise authority."   
   >   
   > Notice unrighteous people get DESTROYED, not live and burn forever.   
   >   
   > So there we have it. According to the Bible, the unrepentant   
   > unrighteous will cease to exist forever, not burn forever.   
   >   
   > Yes, there are Scriptures that speak of burning people, such as the   
   > lake of fire in Revelation, which many in Christendom call "hellfire".   
   > But ALL of those Scriptures are only symbolic. They all represent   
   > everlasting destruction.   
   >   
   > For example, see for yourself that they are symbolic when you notice   
   > what is tossed into the lake of fire. See if you can find it. Rev   
   > 20:14.   
   >   
   > The Jews knew that if you want to destroy something you could break it   
   > into pieces. But when you burn it up, it is gone forever. So Jesus and   
   > the apostles used fire to represent complete, everlasting destruction.
