    Are The Gates of Hell Locked From The Inside?

    C.S. Lewis famously declared that "the gates of hell are locked from the inside" in his wonderful book "The Great Divorce." In your opinion: Is this view Biblical? Is this view logical?

    Universalism- Why a literal reading of the King James Bible may imply that everyone will be saved

    I believe in a literal interpretation of the King James Bible, but studying it as literal truth has ironically gotten me to the point where I tend to agree with Universalism (that the most likely outcome for our universe is that God gets His way and everyone is brought to Salvation). I think one...

And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever. Also, while it doesn't directly say the...

    Scientific Defense for A Literal Interpretation of the Bible

    Hi, would love to hear some feedback (both pro and con) on this discussion about Christian Transhumanism, Hyper Calvinism, Simulation Theory, Quantum Archaeology, Hell and the Lake of Fire. I also make a case for a literal interpretation of the Bible and the Calvinist worldview.

    Nude Evolution: the right progression of selection pressures, will evolve "Evolution"?

    Hi there, So to contradict this thought experiment, you basically have to say "there is no selection pressure for selection pressure"? The thought experiment is basically simple: a sequence of selection pressures lead to Darwin discovering "Evolution" and the same concept could be used to lead...

    Satan never sleeps

    - Satan is alive, and he's very clever. He is a perfected deceiver. He is the "father of lies", and is the trainer of religious pretense, that sounds legit, because it speaks advanced "christianese". For example...> Satan has had more time with the Greek and the rest of the bible versions...
