[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] Sol: There is really no "standard Christian docterine" in my denomination. The Bible says what it says, and you can draw your conclusions from that. The reason we don't know what Hell's specifically like is that we don't need to. But that would definitely be part of the punishment. As I said, He could just give everyone the knowledge of what they'd missed due to their own choices. The punishment would be self-inflicted. 1o'2: "There's something I don't like in the concept that you have to ASK for forgiveness to deserve it." You don't deserve it, even if you ask for it. That's the idea of mercy. You're forgiven, even though you don't deserve it. All you have to do is ask to be forgiven and actually believe that you will be. Is even that too high of a requirement? "I can't concieve of a God who would create a whole world/dimension for nothing but tormenting His enemies for all time." I don't think that will be the purpose of Hell. Hell is simply a place where the unforgiven sinners will be removed from God's presence for eternity. The punishment would seem to be self-inflicted. Again, this is all just my opinion. If anyone's got any scripture to contradict this, please let me know. [/QB][/QUOTE]
