DAVEH: I realize you may be speaking of a personal experience where you expect to audible hear such. Have you tried googling for such comments?

DAVEH: Now that's an interesting change of terms. I said Christian, and you said believer. Regardless of how narrow you want to define/refine it, I suspect there are believers who are eager to send folks to an eternal physical torture. In my parallel post, I used the example of where you (DavidM) might be the most eager TTer to execute a transgressor, which in effect is a speedy way to start somebody on there hellish journey, rather than let them languish in a state of mortality with the possible chance they will someday repent and turn to the Lord.DaveH wrote:> I really don't think it is a rare occurrence to hear professed> Christians say such things. And, I'd be very surprised if you> do think it is rare.Yes, it does seem rare to me. I'm not sure I can ever remember a believer ever saying such a thing.
DAVEH: I realize you may be speaking of a personal experience where you expect to audible hear such. Have you tried googling for such comments? There was one example I quoted (the URL) yesterday of a person who claimed to be Christian. I've got no reason to think she was lying about that.I have heard believers many times warning others that they will burn in hell if they do not repent, but I'm not sure if I have ever heard a believer tell somebody that they HOPE they burn in hell.
Have you considered that perhaps your perspective is a bit skewed, DavidM. If you were someone who was not a Christian, and had an ax to grind.....maybe you would be more sensitive to hearing such comments from professed Christians.
Peace be with you.
