Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him. They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever.

cool story bro

sineb

Amen

Amen.

The healing of the nations? I'm all in for that

You're all in for submitting to an eternal dictatorship?

We have been living under an eternal dictatorship since light was first created.

1. Prove it.
2. Doesn't make it a good thing.

1) "Let there be light"
2) better than this shithole

>1) "Let there be light"
Doesn't prove a thing.
>2) better than this shithole
I thought you said we were already living there? If so, then that is this 'shithole'.

No. The holy scriptures talk about the future

Then we aren't already living there and you lied to me.

We haven't gotten there yet

Yet you told me "We have been living under an eternal dictatorship since light was first created."

Either we currently live under an eternal dictatorship and this "shithole" world is the result -or- we don't currently live under an eternal dictatorship and you lied.

God is a dictator. Either you side with him or you go to Hell with satan

Hell is the morally correct choice then.

I heard it's not

You heard wrong then.

I'm just thankful I heard about it

...k?

It's called the second death. A place where God and the angels watch you being tormented forever. The worm doesn't die

These are only shadows and shallow illustrations of the reality tho.

A sufficiently powerful evil dictator could torture me forever, sure. That doesn't change the fact that you shouldn't collaborate with the evil dictator.

Thankfully, I have no reason to believe any of this is anything more than a nightmarish story.

I don't believe you have any idea of what a nightmare really is until you understand the consequences of your sin against God.

I'm also speaking for myself

I think I understand the consequence in the context of your story just fine. I've heard my fair share of hell descriptions.

And all of us will know your story too

Don't blame the messenger. I'm here to tell the truth

I'm not blaming you at all. I just have no reason to believe your story is actually true, and even if it was the brave and moral thing to do would be to go to hell.
