colin wrote ""The assertion that God is Love on one hand and the assertion on the hand that people who dipelase God will go to hell, is yet another example of bamboozling.""" a common basic misconception - probably caused by people who didnt listen in sunday school growing up then becoming teachers in sunday school which doesnt leave much hope for the truth lasting 47 (or howevermany) generations......:-) god does not send "bad" people to hell because they offend him. what a petty god that would be & no wonder people with this misconception dont have any time for him. people are born on the way to hell. the whole "original sin" and "fallen nature" things apply to each & every one of us. which is not to say that these people are not capable of doing good things and being good in a lot of ways. just not on a godly level. god, through jesus, gives us an "out" of this state of original sin. ron
