Mudley asks...
Ray, regardless of whether or not Hell exists, why should we try to avoid going there?
It seems to me that the bible is clear that we are all deserving of hell. So why should we try to avoid the punishment we deserve? It seems like the whole Jesus thing is just some legal loophole to let people off the hook.
Dishonest people exploit loopholes for their benefit. Honest people take what they deserve.
So tell me why you are so desperately trying to avoid the punishment you admit that you deserve?
@Mudley
The short answer: it's what God wants.
It's not about what I desire, Mudley. It's about what God desires.

So true... the legal loophole was born in the mind of God. The law indites imperfect people and makes people imperfect. From the beginning of time, the children of man were not supposed to have anything to do with the law. The word of God goes on forever but in heaven the law has no power over the children of men because we are dead to the law (as Paul says, like a woman dead to her old husband) and now we have a new husband, Christ. We are buried to the old Adam and born again in the new Adam. The law has no power over those who are dead. Heaven, itself, was not made to be ruled by law. And Humans were not meant to choose law. Christ is our loophole but it's the loophole that brings things back to the way they were meant to be...without the sin-consciousness, without legalism.
