Our young Christian poster, event horizon, appears to be in some confusion over the Biblical verses. In some instances he refuses to accept the Biblical descriptions of events:

Where the Bible says Jews were responsible for killing Jesus, eh disagrees with this and calls this Anti-Semitic and not historically true.

By contrast, Biblical war crimes are defended by eh:

In other instances he takes the Bible at it's word when it comes to talking donkeys and the sun stopping in the sky for a day:

Now we have a bizare twist in Biblical denials - concerning what the Bible says will happen to those who do not believe in Jesus as saviour, saying that it is 'unclear' whether they go to hell or not, when the Bible clearly states they will be 'damned' and 'condemned' for not believing:

It is hard to see the logic about which parts of the Bible are taken as Gospel by eh and which are rejected as false - it appears that verses condemning Jews are rejected, but those against science or normal morals are accepted. Interesting that.

Pointing out condemn is not hellfire is not confusion but clarity.

Now, are you too afraid/embarrassed to post the passages from your holy book about unbelievers sent to the fires of hell?

So you don't dispute the other examples then?

'Condemn' and 'damn' are pretty clear to me - you seem to be working with a weird dictionary eh. Please explain in the other thread what 'condemned' means then.

And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will not be accepted from him and he will be one of the losers in the Hereafter.

(Quran, 3:85)

Do you agree that the losers in the hereafter is referring to non-Muslims being sent to hell?

Hopefully, if you want to claim that a passage saying people are 'condemned' in the Bible means 'hell', then you'll agree that Koran 3:85 must also mean the same.

I wondered how long it would take you to try and change the subject away from your confusion over the Bible. Two posts.

We'll tackle your confusion over hell in the relevant thread, and take as read that you're still confused over the other examples in the list in the OP.
