but its the same people we are talking about.

is it like mutabaruka suggests? god's a schizophrenic?

false religious teachings such as a litral hellfire make for much confusion and serves satans purpose well. .... Babylon the great .... is the worldwide empire of false religion. and Gods people are out of there REVELATION 18;4 teachings such as God putting people in a litral hellfire come from Gods oposser(satan) and much confusion has happened because of the influence of this wicked one 1 JOHN 5;19
This world empire of false religion is in opposition to Jehovah God because it had its basis in Babylon. Hence in his Holy Bible he calls this religious world empire by the name Babylon the Great. Babylon or Babel means "Confusion." In agreement with that name the Babylonish world empire of false religion is a mix-up or confusion of hundreds of religions in opposition to Jehovah God the Creator.

these arent small considerations. after studying greek, hebrew, and what kind of thigs people were discussing back then, it becomes unclear as to whether jesus was talking about a torturous afterlife or not



it depends more on what people thought back then, than on what the translations are...

Jesus used that garbedge dump to illustrate total destruction . Jesus spoke in many illustrations .

I prefer "fruit inspecting" to "judge".... thanks

by their fruits you will recognise those men
By this all will know that you are my disciples, if YOU have love among yourselves."John 13;35 inspecting the fruits of Gods people would mean that Gods people have love among themselves.......... you would not see one of Gods people killing another of Gods people . even if they lived in different nations they would not take up arms against each other. yes Gods people are taught only PEACE.
