Is it "threaten" or are they WARNING you? I have never
threatened anybody with Hell, but I have quoted the Bible in regards to the punishment for sin. I sincerely hope that is not offensive or threatening, when some of us are not joyful that others may suffer. Most Christian believers wish only for our fellow man and women's salvation from punishment. If we wished folks ill will, we would simply keep the promise of salvation a secret. Yes, some believers have/do "make fun, ridicule and dismiss as foolishness other religions. It's wrong to do so, but it is human nature isn't it? That's not an excuse.
I have found that in the Villages there are many, many more believers than non-believers. Perhaps, some are hedging their bet when it comes to being so close to their expiration date? What have they got to lose by accepting the promise of eternal life? I have also found several on here that make fun of believers and call GOD a myth. My sympathy goes out them, because that may be like accelerating a car toward the cliff.
The subject of this thread is in regards to what we think happens to us when we die. Perhaps a better question would be "what do you WANT to happen to you when you die?" Then, think about whether or not anyone has given you any reason to believe that this will happen to you. If you want [fill in the blank] to happen to you, how do you think that you will accomplish that? If someone promises you something, what do you have to do to get that result?
No use arguing over who is right. The question is "what do think happens when you die?"
