Hi Tetsuro<br><br>There is no need to rid ourselves of temporal or eternal judgment. If anything we need to stand up to judgment both personally and spiritually.<br><br>If you read the opening post closely you will find that yes, we can adhere to every eternal torment/eternal hell scripture and still retain the legitimate belief that all people are saved and that was kinda my entire point. The Bible gives us an excellent instrument to see and understand some of what is going on in this present world, and yes, some of these things are kinda weird as Mr. Wells so aptly points out. Bizarre even. I don't think anyone really "gets it."<br><br>But you know, as also pointed out in the opening post some will immediately and always insist that God is going to burn people alive in fire ala St. (whatever his name is above,) a belief that I totally reject via sound scriptural rendering, and you present another side of the equation, that there is no eternal judgment or eternal hell. There most certainly is and there is no reason or use to deny it. <br><br>That is where most of this stuff is going to end and this is a portion of our mutual HOPE. <br><br>In the meantime we keep our eyes open.<br><br>enjoy!<br><br>smaller<br><br><br><br> <p></p><i></i>
