I just gave you one! Literally just fucking now. Why are you so determined to die on this hill? You are ignoring Scripture, you are ignoring what all the top minds of Christianity said, you are ignoring 20 centuries of culture, you are muddling definitions and demanding that because Jews from one century didn’t believe in hell that 800 years later Christians must not have. I bet there were a thousand priests and ministers and reverends and bishops out there this week alone who talked about hell. Why do you think so many parents in history were obsessed with Baptism? Why was Unitarianism banned over and over again if not for its doctrine of hell denial? Why so many paintings and stained glass and novels (Dante inferno, paradise lost etc) depicting a place that you are argue isn’t Christianity?
All of these Christians were wrong and you alone out of billions know what True Scotsmen Christianity stood for.
I was expecting something along the lines of a scripture with some supporting argument.
Since you mention the prostitute representing Babylon, I’m going to guess you mean Revelations 17:16
“these will hate the prostitute and will make her devastated and naked, and they will eat up her flesh and completely burn her with fire.”
The prostitute mentioned in Revelations represents false religion, not an actual person. And fire in the Bible is often a metaphor for complete destruction, as in destroyed so thoroughly that something can never be repaired or restored.
So the prostitute (false religion) will be destroyed so completely that it will never exist ever again.
Book of Revelations, read it, and get back to me.
I have read it. No hell. Can you cite specifics?
…yeah the whore of Babylon made out perfectly fine.
So no specifics then.

Uh huh. What controlled studies did you conduct to determine that it was just a metaphor?

Believe it or not your sardonic comment was not subtle. I know, shocking.
