A thought crossed my mind, why do i feel the need to always write?
Answer...If I hid my words, they could never truly understand my heart.
As I rush to write down that line, I stop, and in that moment, I looked over at the Bible laying on the end table.
Wow...

I love the lord with all my heart, he speaks in manners recognizable to our souls. This was cool, and a reminder to not forsake study time.

ECT - eternal conscious torment ( everlasting hell)
Just whether you believe it’s forever and how that would sit with a just god. Infinite punishment for finite sin?

Well, I believe in Jesus, so sins have a way to be forgiven.
To still have free will tells us there is hope to choose correctly. Jesus said I would have that NONE were lost.
Everyone has a choice to do better with the life thay have been given. Then, the day I die I will stand in judgment, where i will no longer have free will to ask the lord to forgive me of my sins. Again, this is my belief, I don't impose my belief on anyone, everyone has their own spiritual journey to take. So surviving the hell we may pass through in this life can be avoided on an eternal level if we choose to do whats spirituality right in this chance at life we have been given. That is Hope, and that is a loving father. As far as tradition, I'm all about tradition, except when it comes to the written word. Religion has stolen from people who truly want to know truth. So...faith is what we should lean on, not tradition.
For instance, a preacher at times will pass down something they have been taught by a preacher before him that he might have trusted with to be dispensing the truth, only to find out its nowhere to be found in the bible....that right there is tradition, that is religion. A person really needs to walk the walk not necessarily on their own, but read for themselves to make sure they are in faith and truth, and not tradition.

Appreciate your honesty- may God truly bless you, my friend.
I’m inclined to believe in universalism.
That God, the perfect creator has perfect plans and that his plan is to reconcile all to himself - in this life or through reformation in the next.
This fits in with the original Greek text as opposed to the poor Latin translation that presents hell as everlasting.

I also appriciate your kind words and knowledge. Its frustrating having such a hunger for truth and then having the hands of man alter that truth with their own interpretations and agendas. I just pray for God to lead me so he himself can guide me to and through it all. Thanks for taking time to read and discuss.
Also, reconciliation back to Gods original will for us, I cry when I truly think of that kind of love and forgiveness.
