So you are saying God has a book of who is naughty or nice and the naughty go to a lake of fire,?

Yes your name can be written in the book of life.\n\nThe lake of fire is the second death, death of soul. Worse than non-existense, all memory of you is passed away.\n\nRev 21:4  And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

I am a creature of a day. I am a spirit come from God, and returning to God. I want to know one thing: the way to heaven. God himself has condescended to teach me the way. He has written it down in a book. Oh, give me that book! At any price give me the book of God. Let me be a man of one book.--John Wesley\n\nIt is clear that there must be difficulties for us in a revelation such as the Bible. If someone were to hand me a book that was as simple to me as the multiplication table, and say, 'This is the Word of God. In it He has revealed His whole will and wisdom,' I would shake my head and say, 'I cannot believe it; that is too easy to be a perfect revelation of infinite wisdom.' There must be, in any complete revelation of God's mind and will and character and being, things hard for the beginner to understand; and the wisest and best of us are but beginners. --R.A. Torrey\n\nThe Bible is a harp with a thousand strings. Play on one to the exclusion of its relationship to the others, and you will develop discord. Play on all of them, keeping them in their places in the divine scale, and you will hear heavenly music all the time. --William P. White

Bible means book. The word book was in the "holy book" lots of times.

Before Trials became commonplace, ordeal by fire, ordeal by combat was used. the idea was that GOD would not allow the innocent party to come to harm. Basically GOD would protect the innocent.

Possibly, God used Nature in the old testament to punish disobiedience.  Does he do this in modern times? I dont know.

Proof that our "friend" is a hypocrite and a mental case, see above.\n\nI ask myself every time I read the Bible, what does this mean FOR me.

Rev 20:11  And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. \nRev 20:12  And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. \nRev 20:13  And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. \nRev 20:14  And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. \nRev 20:15  And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

I do not "mindlessly" follow and obey God.  I am very mindful.  There is nothing in the Bible evil that God asks me to do.  *

Yeah, there is a scripture that says something like "I am a jealous God" (not exact quote) and I have no idea what exactly it was referring to, but it was not our supreme being saying he was jealous.  Geez Louise!  Whomever wrote that surely wasn't quoting God.  God is all love and I would imagine in a constant state of bliss.  Can you really imagine him being angry or jealous.   I don't care what Sunday School teaches, that's just silly!

According to the bible, God has participated in wars.  So he must be a fan.

funny how you didn't point out how "GOD" made all of those people before kill people, he killed people himself with floods, he tortured people to prove their trust in him (Job), he is just so perfect, isn't he? you're right!

In the name of Religion man will: set another human being on fire, hang, torture, rape, starve, torture, set fire to homes, take over small villages and kill their live-stock, wipe out an entire people.  But it is in the name of God.  That makes it ok.  AMEN.   ahem.

I read a link once that had counted every murder by god and satan in the bible.  The final count was smething close to God- 1 000 000 and Satan-10.   Speaks for itself I guess.

Job 41:19-21 says of Leviathan that, "Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out. Out of his nostrils goes smoke as out of a seething pot or caldron. His breath kindles coals, and a flame goes out of his mouth." \n\nand BTW. I'm an atheist who knows the Bible, apparently better than the four Christians above who clearly don't.

Do you really want to know?  This is called the Great White throne judgment, there is another judgment for believers.  The people here are shown what they did or didn't do in terms of the Bible.  The Books are the 66 books of the Bible that will judge them.  The book of life is there and they will see that their names are not in it.  So anyway they will be taken to the lake of fire forever. \nHERE YOU SEE THAT THE WORDS OF CHRIST JUDGE A MAN IN THE LAST DAY.  \nJohn 12:48  He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. \n\nThe believers judgment is in 2 Corinthians 5:10,11, 1 Cor. 3:8-17 & Romans 14:10   Here the Christian will be rewarded for what he did for Christ.  The judgment for the believers sins was on the cross of calvary, so this is a reward.

Here are some other gems for you(posted these in another thread) \n\nProof of the 'love' of God in the bible\n\n"God" slaughtered innocent babies because of Pharaoh's stubbornness: "At midnight the Lord struck down all the firstborn in Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh, who sat on the throne, to the firstborn of the prisoner, who was in the dungeon, and the firstborn of all the livestock as well.” (Exod. 12:29)\n\n"God" had babies dashed to pieces and pregnant women ripped open: "The people of Samaria must bear their guilt, because they have rebelled against their God. They will fall by the sword; their little ones will be dashed to the ground, their pregnant women ripped open." (Hosea 13:16)\n\n"God" wanted children to be murdered as human sacrifices: "I let them become defiled through their gifts - the sacrifice of every firstborn - that I might fill them with horror so they would know that I am the Lord.” (Ezek. 20:26)\n\n"God" threatened to have innocent children be devoured by wild animals: “I will send wild animals against you, and they will rob you of your children, destroy your cattle and make you so few in number that your roads will be deserted.” (Lev. 26:22)\n\n"God" threatened to have children cannibalized: "If in spite of this you still do not listen to me but continue to be hostile toward me, then in my anger I will be hostile toward you, and I myself will punish you for your sins seven times over. You will eat the flesh of your sons and the flesh of your daughters.” (Lev. 26:27-29)\n\n"God" ordered the genocide of women, children and babies: "Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy everything that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.”” (1 Sam. 15:2-3)\n\n"God" aborted fetuses and murdered children in answer to the prophet Hosea's prayer: "Give them, O Lord – what will you give them? Give them wombs that miscarry .... Ephraim is blighted, their root is withered, they yield no fruit. Even if they bear children, I will slay their cherished offspring." (Hosea 9:14-16)\n\n"God" murdered a baby because of David's adultery: “Then David said to Nathan, "I have sinned against the Lord." Nathan replied, "The Lord has taken away your sin. You are not going to die. But because by doing this you have made the enemies of the Lord show utter contempt, the son born to you will die." (2 Sam. 12:13-14)\n\n"God" ordered people to kill their brothers, friends and neighbors: “Then he said to them, "This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: 'Each man strap a sword to his side. Go back and forth through the camp from one end to the other, each killing his brother and friend and neighbor.'" (Exod. 32:27
