Simster was the first to do it, you want me to make you a list? Its right there for you to see for yourself, just scroll back.
A concordance will contain more references to hell than an actual Bible, because it will refer to words used in the Bible…but the concordance itself is not officially part of the Bible.
Thank you. What religion do you belong to, if you are not a Christian?
In Any baptist church, or you can start with the National baptist convention. This is what I call " Common Christian knowledge", learned in their churches and mostly through sermons; which spread like gossip but eventually become as solid as doctrine. This is how much of their congregations learn.
I don’t belong to any religion, I am not religious.
Can you provide us with just one Baptist site that makes this claim-I can’t seem to find one.
Are you agnostic, then?
WHere did I ‘mock’ you? If you feel you were personally attacked, report the post and let the mods handle it. otherwise - being called on your ‘facts’ and ‘posts’ in a debate forum is not mocking you.
So, you can’t back up this ‘fact’ with any kind of evidence.
Your post(s) in this thread would contradict that assertion - you may not go to a ‘formal’ church but you have stated that you believe in much the same thing they do.
Thats not something they put on websites, as I already told you, one has to hear that in sermons and taught in their churches; its rumor, like gossip, which Christian ministers put out in sermons, and their congregations absorb it and take it to be doctrine. I have heard it a hundred times, but you have to experience it, or hear it for yourself. Tentmaker.org goes into more detail about these church myths in an article by Gary Amirault and Mercy Aiken entitled " Honest Questions and answers about hell", an excellent work.
I can handle you myself.
actually - nm - reported.
You said it was part of their doctrine. Do the Baptists have a secret doctrine that doesn’t show up on any Baptist websites?
No, I am not. I am nothing, belong to no group or religion; I walk alone in my belief.And hold no interest in any group.
I think most religions do, its like an undercurrent of beliefs that they never make official. But its there, and as solid as their published doctrines. For example, most Christians believe that when they drink the wine in communion, that it turns into Christ blood; but they won’t write that into their doctrines.
In another example, most Christians believe that the bible was written by them and only for them, but they cannot include that in their doctrines because they hold no copy rights on the bible.
This is becoming obnoxious, Mickiel. This is the last time I am going to tell you: cool it and stop with the personal commentary. It distracts from any actual conversation you might want to have and it doesn’t belong in this forum.
[QUOTE=tentmaker.org site]
Tentmaker Ministries website contains thousands of text, audio and video material proving the Christian Hell is a myth.

Hardly an unbiased site - and I do not see the article you are talking about, nor the reference to your claim.
(eta - I did find the article you reference) - but calling it a ‘popular myth’ without any evidence or reference to back it up does not make it true.
Your link to tentmaker.org doesn’t mention anything about secret Baptists beliefs, and the part you want us to reference in particular talks, in part, about the myth of Jesus talking more about Hell than about Heaven.
I don’t understand that comment from you; the man asked why I did not report him insulting me, and I responded I can handle him myself, prefering not to take it to a moderator level; explain to me what was wrong with that?
Look, if you don’t want me here I can leave.
