what we have is freedom of limited speech or the alternative freedom of political speech.

Those who try to silence us will find out that they should have listened. It's getting really scary. People should know the truth, but they don't want to hear it. God is very serious about eternity.

Those who think there is no God had better be right. But I know that they aren't right. I have seen Lord Jesus and He is very real.

Do the people who believe in those things go around telling you that your lack of belief in 'ascension' and 'motherships' results in you being eternally condemned/punished/tortured when you die? Really terrible analogy friend.

If you want to know why the 'hell' threats annoy and upset so many people, you should take a closer look at the attitude, demeanor, and more importantly the energy of the people who are most vocal about it and go around making those threats. Really negative vibes emanating from those types of folks. Fear-mongering tactics, manipulation attempts, arrogance, self-righteousness - all qualities that are repugnant to those who are nothing like that and who do seek to force their beliefs upon others by way of threats. Now if the message was, "Come join our church and believe what we believe and go to heaven" - who would be bothered by that? No one.... Trying to convince people they are going to 'burn in hell' for not accepting those beliefs - radically different message that gives off an entirely different image & impression of those delivering the message, wouldn't you agree?

That's the psychology behind it...
 Quoting: ANHEDONIC


^^^^^Humanitarian bullshit as it's finest.^^^^^ Tell it to Jesus, tell it to God.... Hell is real dude, and that poster was just a fair warning to all who might care to take heed.
 Quoting: scottfree



It was hundreds of years after Christ that Rome brought in the concept of a permanent hell and basically bore false witness against Mom/Dad and our Real Creator/Highest Love and Goodness God.

Early Christians had no such beliefs.

Many of them believed in reincarnation even.

Are there consequences for bad behavior, such as murder, slavery, etc? Yes.

But belief systems?

Really?

Your god must be very small.
 Quoting: Sungaze_At_Dawn


.....and anything goes with yours, huh? Enjoy you're humanitarian afterlife... where anything goes. Not much difference than what we have here on earth now, is there?
 Quoting: scottfree


You really don't know me. I've been praying and seeking since being a preschooler, a toddler even. And quit many many times, sensing the team and councils overhead, and even as a teenager telling them, the end doesn't justify the means used and you can't build heaven on so much hell.

I've never once met your god. I've had Spirit wait for me to calm down and then when I finally gave in and said, ok, ok what is it, but don't think I can side with anything here, was shown, infinite progression, that we're not pinocchio a puppet, that we have free will, but that everyone makes it out in the end, every level catering to the lower ones, not always perfectly, for everyone is in steep learning curves, growing Love and Goodness.

I've been a traditional Catholic, then Anglican, then my own free form, metaphysical gnostic Christian, gnosis as in pure, inner guidance from Spirit/God that I keep asking for, wherein whole passages leap out and suddenly the smiting sacrificial SATURN god of the bible becomes the Good Parent with you every step of the way nudging you to overcome yourself.

We're not to judge others.

And the bible is gnostic, starting with genesis 32 30 where Jacob meets God in his pineal.

And thats where we all do, the kingdom of heaven is within you. When you achieve Higher Mind and overcome your weaknesses, part the red sea of anger and reactions, and meditate within to find God, Goodness, and ask real questions, you'll be directed.

Its about Love.

Obviously some people are taking the long way home here.

If someone seems to be having a really hard life, what are we doing about it, eh?

We're supposed to be helping one another and problem solving abundance and happiness for all, not walking away from them in need.

Also, if one is so dangerous we can't get close, then intercede for them and try to help.

Do not judge anyone.

Hell has nothing to do with your belief. God. Purple pumpkin in the sky, athiest or agnostic.

It has to do with you overcoming selfishness so you can reach the tower with your pineal cell phone, because if you're not in a good state, you connect with the wrong frequency.

All those different frequency connections and realms is what Christ meant saying their are many mansions in my Father's heaven.

Everything that is is heaven.

Winterlands, and lower realms, to higher realms and eutopias.

We walk the walk and journey one step at a time.

But reincarnation is what happens to most. Its Groundhog Day the Movie, and What Dreams May Come. Those 2 sum it up pretty well.

Also Hook, with Robin Williams. You need your happy thoughts to fly.

Birds of a feather flock together, frequency realms.

You're creating your next step here, please stop falling for the trap Rome set out, Saturn and the Dark Star replacing the Sun or Light Box that sends in the energies we need from beyond like a big mirror.

Don't put a pyramid or smiter over your head because thats going to the wrong realm afterwards.

Just like Isaiah 28 told the elite, they were not meeting with angels, not getting their plans from the Good, they weren't serving God, they were contracted to the dead. That their rules and laws overburdened the people, and that instead, how many times do you have to plow through a field to get a crop off? The ploughing through the field was the hard work, and they were resetting humans over and over, prodding to fail over and over, instead of being good people who cared and shared and showed the right way, with fruits of loving kindness and equality and freedom.

Earth is a living library, and male and female even, their two energies. We're supposed to pay attention and overcome:

war, starvation, slavery, fascism, love of power and control, judgemnts on others.

We're supposed to achieve Higher Mind.

Dying a 'pole shift death' and 'eternal condemnation/punishment' are certainly not the same so your example does not apply to what was written.
 Quoting: ANHEDONIC


It's analogous. They even have their own designations for people, which they lord over people, "STO" vs "STS." There is a "spiritual" element to it all. STO's will be saved, STS will die a horrible death. And guess what, I strongly disagree with them BUT I support their right to free speech and spew whatever nutty bullshit they want to spew.

A physical 'death' is a temporary experience - and physical 'death' is inevitable for all. You cannot compare a temporary experience to something that is claimed to be a eternal experience with a highly negative orientation.... Not analogous at all...

Re: Police Investigate Church After Poster Warning About Hell..(Ordered to take it down as a Hate Crime)
Book of Jude NIV

3 Dear friends, although I was very eager to write to you about the salvation we share, I felt I had to write and urge you to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to the saints. 4 For certain men whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They are godless men, who change the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord. 5 Though you already know all this, I want to remind you that the Lord delivered his people out of Egypt, but later destroyed those who did not believe. 6 And the angels who did not keep their positions of authority but abandoned their own home--these he has kept in darkness, bound with everlasting chains for judgment on the great Day. 7 In a similar way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire. 8 In the very same way, these dreamers pollute their own bodies, reject authority and slander celestial beings. 9 But even the archangel Michael, when he was disputing with the devil about the body of Moses, did not dare to bring a slanderous accusation against him, but said, "The Lord rebuke you!" 10 Yet these men speak abusively against whatever they do not understand; and what things they do understand by instinct, like unreasoning animals--these are the very things that destroy them. 11 Woe to them! They have taken the way of Cain; they have rushed for profit into Balaam's error; they have been destroyed in Korah's rebellion. 12 These men are blemishes at your love feasts, eating with you without the slightest qualm--shepherds who feed only themselves. They are clouds without rain, blown along by the wind; autumn trees, without fruit and uprooted--twice dead. 13 They are wild waves of the sea, foaming up their shame; wandering stars, for whom blackest darkness has been reserved forever. 14 Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men: "See, the Lord is coming with thousands upon thousands of his holy ones 15 to judge everyone, and to convict all the ungodly of all the ungodly acts they have done in the ungodly way, and of all the harsh words ungodly sinners have spoken against him." 16 These men are grumblers and faultfinders; they follow their own evil desires; they boast about themselves and flatter others for their own advantage.

17 But, dear friends, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold. 18 They said to you, "In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires." 19 These are the men who divide you, who follow mere natural instincts and do not have the Spirit. 20 But you, dear friends, build yourselves up in your most holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit. 21 Keep yourselves in God's love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life. 22 Be merciful to those who doubt; 23 snatch others from the fire and save them; to others show mercy, mixed with fear--hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh.

No this is another political psy op because preachers have been using that copied sermon line for decades, and this style of news release always comes around every time it's an election year.

If you think there is no God you better be right. What does it mean in NLP politics? Atheists, vote for Republicans. Some spin-doctor is sending his media guys around to behave offense for more publicity. The color of red flames of hell further sell that political agenda. Good grief, even the photo on the article made by Jason Rojas, or red, is more psyopping for a Republican stuff.

And the guy who made the complaint was probably in tandem with the reporter.

Anyway, YES, it is VERY analogous. Read what I said, pay closer attention to what I said. It is NOT just about a "temporary physical death." There is a spiritual aspect to it all. It is extremely analogous, end of story, in the poleshit leader's own words:
"So you can see, for those born on Earth, that the coming pole shift will truly be Judgement Day, when souls will go off to reincarnate on a water world, or be hauled off ****can'tsaywherecauseit'sstolenfromanotherconspiracytardonba​dtermswithGLP*****, or reincarnate here on Earth into hybrid communities."

Whether you believe in God or not, what in the world is so scary about a poster on a church?
Atheists claim they don't believe any of it, then quake in fear at the words on a poster.

Therefore they must believe there is a valid threat there, for them.

Now that's TRUE BELIEF, it must be.
If they are wetting themselves in fear of the Lord, how can they claim He doesn't even exist?
Dinosaurs don't exist, and posters of them eating people would never scare me. They are NO THREAT.
I just don't understand you shivering atheists at all.
What is it? Is He there to judge you, or not?
If not, then quit crying about it.

Re: Police Investigate Church After Poster Warning About Hell..(Ordered to take it down as a Hate Crime)
Whether you believe in God or not, what in the world is so scary about a poster on a church?
Atheists claim they don't believe any of it, then quake in fear at the words on a poster.

Therefore they must believe there is a valid threat there, for them.

Now that's TRUE BELIEF, it must be.
If they are wetting themselves in fear of the Lord, how can they claim He doesn't even exist?
Dinosaurs don't exist, and posters of them eating people would never scare me. They are NO THREAT.
I just don't understand you shivering atheists at all.
What is it? Is He there to judge you, or not?
If not, then quit crying about it.
dang.

lol, the Gospel is meant to be offensive and why? because the scoffers think themselves wise and love the darkness, not the light, so just all in a day's work really

Re: Police Investigate Church After Poster Warning About Hell..(Ordered to take it down as a Hate Crime)
Misleading thread title

no where in the article where they ordered to take it down.
 Quoting: Traverse


Police launch probe into church sign that suggested non-Christians will burn in hell after ONE person complained
Poster with burning flames put up at Attleborough Baptist Church, Norfolk
The sign read: 'If you think there is no God you'd better be right!!'
Robert Gladwin, 20, accused the sign of going against Christian traditions
Pastor forced to remove sign after police investigated it as a 'hate incident'

Try reading for a change....
 Quoting: christian


yeah I only read the article in the OP

that being said...it still doesnt say "Ordered to take it down as a Hate Crime" which implies that the police gave an order and that a hate crime, which is an actual charge, was committed.
