The eternal roasting stuff is something that was added by some Christian groups after the fact. I never saw it in the Bible, and I've been through it many times. Forgiveness at the last moment has a precedent in the story of the thieves on the cross next to Jesus. But the roasting forever idea has no biblical precedent. Every time I've heard someone come up with what they believe to be a biblical basis for it, they've had to stitch together several things from different parts of the old and new testaments and then hope nobody's paying too much attention to it. - Kris www.shamrocktrails.com, www.mcstyles.com, www.emryldlife.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
