Ha ha ha I just found this on the net about Buddhism, they do believe hell is temporary just like I said 
“Like all the different realms within cyclic existence, an existence in hell is temporary for its inhabitants”…http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell
Hey, I’m having to teach Buddhists about their own religion now
I am no Buddhist nor do I claim to represent the Buddhist population. But my stance on you dying in a fire still stands 
Here is a site which will help you out a bit.
religioustolerance.org/buddhism4.htm
I am not a Buddhist nor do I claim to be the authority. I have studied Chan and Zen Buddhism mostly and those do not worry about the levels of Samsara. Some sects do believe in the Hindi like cycles of Earth. Therefore some do believe in hell. BUT, Buddhists still do not believe a shitty reincarnation is “no sweat”. It is a big deal. They want to end the cycle they go through. Being in hell for them is like someone to you who doesn’t belive in Christ. So said person would be no where near salvation, moksha or SATORI! So you did not teach me about a religion. You simply got information different then mine. Thanks for trying to be a good modest Christian tho 
Just more excuses with no evidence to back it up.
Something your brain can’t comprehend is false to you? That’s ridiculous.
Just using common sense here, but if the bible was politically twisted wouldn’t that cause contradictions?
Excuse me? What “excuses” have I made? You say JC was the only leader who has killed himself for his cause, I show you a others who have done the same thing. You say “if you are going to use the bible, use all of it” Do you realise how asinine a comment that is, considering you follow shortly with this inquisition?
You ask for contradiction? Take your own advice. If you’d read much of any of the Bible, you would be able to see contradictions left right and centre. If you need proof, do your own homework; read the damned Bible yourself,
God is incomprehensible by nature. This is why I don’t write Him of compleatly. A boat, big enough to hold two of every species (not taking into consideration the endless amount of time it would take to collect two of every species) is flat out silly. If you can’t see how rediculous of a notion that is, then you really don’t belong in a philosophy forum (unless you can somehow explain it in a manner that coincides with physics). I used that as the backbone of my argument. If you can take one part of the Bible as figurative, then it is beyond your abilities to decern with absolute certainty that any other part of the bible is cold hard fact.
Now, I ask of you a small task. Instead of writing off everything I say as groundless conviction, why not backing up one single thing you’ve said, without quoting the bible? I realise that your scriptures are all you really have outside of your intuition, but you have to realise that a 2000 year old book that is not a history text cannot be treated as such in the context of this argument.
Man…it sickens me to see how confused and tormented your brain is. I don’t believe I’ve used biblical quotes to back up as evidence once.
If you’d use the brain God gave you, you’d realize fitting two of every animal wouldn’t be that hard with basic animals. Not to mention the evidence of the Ark beening found atop mount Ararat.
Lol the best you can do is repeatively declare the Bible as some book that’s 2000 years old, that does nothing but make you look stupid.
Oh i’ve read the Bible. I trust me no contradictions have been found yet. Don’t be scared man, comon bring me these contradictions instead of asking me to give ones that haven’t been found.
You have to be joking.
philosophy forum, not a name-calling fest. Please stop, you are turning me off this forum.
No, you haven’t, becuase you haven’t backed up a single thing you’ve said with ANY sort of evidence, and I didn’t want you to start with a controversial source, as I am genuinly interested in a proper debate on this topic.
…
Show me once peice of “evidence”. A chunk of wood on a mountain doesn’t really amount to much of any evience for a claim that improbable.
I would gather much the opposite, friend. I point out the fact that it is not a history book, that is all.
Fine. I am not doing your homework for you, so here is a cut+paste job. I am sure there are some good ones in here, but if this doesn’t satisfy your curiosity, then I will compile a list of contradictions that I have personally grappled with over the years, to no avail.
God good to all, or just a few?
PSA 145:9 The LORD is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.
JER 13:14 And I will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together, saith the LORD: I will not pity, nor spare, nor have mercy, but destroy them.
War or Peace?
EXO 15:3 The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name.
ROM 15:33 Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
Who is the father of Joseph?
MAT 1:16 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
LUK 3:23 And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli.
Who was at the Empty Tomb? Is it:
MAT 28:1 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
MAR 16:1 And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.
JOH 20:1 The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.

Which first–beasts or man?
GEN 1:25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
GEN 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
GEN 2:18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
GEN 2:19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.
The number of beasts in the ark
GEN 7:2 Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.
GEN 7:8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth, GEN 7:9 There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
How many stalls and horsemen?
KI1 4:26 And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.
CH2 9:25 And Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen; whom he bestowed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
Is it folly to be wise or not?
PRO 4:7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.
ECC 1:18 For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.
1 Cor.1:19: “For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and wil bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.”
Human vs. ghostly impregnation
ACT 2:30 Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;
MAT 1:18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.
The sins of the father
ISA 14:21 Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities.
DEU 24:16 The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin.
The bat is not a bird
LEV 11:13 And these are they which ye shall have in abomination among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,
LEV 11:14 And the vulture, and the kite after his kind;
LEV 11:15 Every raven after his kind;
LEV 11:16 And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind,
LEV 11:17 And the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl,
LEV 11:18 And the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle,
LEV 11:19 And the stork, the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.
DEU 14:11 Of all clean birds ye shall eat.
DEU 14:12 But these are they of which ye shall not eat: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,
DEU 14:13 And the glede, and the kite, and the vulture after his kind,

Rabbits do not chew their cud
LEV 11:6 And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.
‘Gerah’, the term which appears in the MT means (chewed) cud, and also perhaps grain, or berry (also a 20th of a sheckel, but I think that we can agree that that is irrelevant here). It does not mean dung, and there is a perfectly adequate Hebrew word for that, which could have been used. Furthermore, the phrase translated ‘chew the cud’ in the KJV is more exactly ‘bring up the cud’. Rabbits do not bring up anything; they let it go all the way through, then eat it again. The description given in Leviticus is inaccurate, and that’s that. Rabbits do eat their own dung; they do not bring anything up and chew on it.
Insects do NOT have four feet
LEV 11:21 Yet these may ye eat of every flying creeping thing that goeth upon all four, which have legs above their feet, to leap withal upon the earth;
LEV 11:22 Even these of them ye may eat; the locust after his kind, and the bald locust after his kind, and the beetle after his kind, and the grasshopper after his kind.
LEV 11:23 But all other flying creeping things, which have four feet, shall be an abomination unto you.
Snails do not melt
PSA 58:8 As a snail which melteth, let every one of them pass away: like the untimely birth of a woman, that they may not see the sun.
Fowl from waters or ground?
GEN 1:20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
GEN 1:21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
GEN 2:19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.
Odd genetic engineering
GEN 30:39 And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth cattle ringstraked, speckled, and spotted.
The shape of the earth
ISA 40:22 It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:
MAT 4:8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
Astromical bodies are spherical, and you cannot see the entire exterior surface from anyplace. The kingdoms of Egypt, China, Greece, Crete, sections of Asia Minor, India, Maya (in Mexico), Carthage (North Africa), Rome (Italy), Korea, and other settlements from these kingdoms of the world were widely distributed.
Snakes, while built low, do not eat dirt
GEN 3:14 And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
Earth supported?
JOB 26:7 He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
JOB 38:4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.
Heaven supported too
JOB 26:11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.
The hydrological cycle
ECC 1:7 All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again.
JOB 38:22 Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail,
Storehouses are not part of the cycle
Order of creation
Here is the order in the first (Genesis 1), the Priestly tradition:
Day 1: Sky, Earth, light
Day 2: Water, both in ocean basins and above the sky(!)
Day 3: Plants
Day 4: Sun, Moon, stars (as calendrical and navigational aids)
Day 5: Sea monsters (whales), fish, birds, land animals, creepy-crawlies (reptiles, insects, etc.)
Day 6: Humans (apparently both sexes at the same time)
Day 7: Nothing (the Gods took the first day off anyone ever did)
Note that there are “days,” “evenings,” and “mornings” before the Sun was created. Here, the Deity is referred to as “Elohim,” which is a plural, thus the literal translation, “the Gods.” In this tale, the Gods seem satisfied with what they have done, saying after each step that “it was good.”
The second one (Genesis 2), the Yahwist tradition, goes:
Earth and heavens (misty)
Adam, the first man (on a desolate Earth)
Plants
Animals
Eve, the first woman (from Adam’s rib)
How orderly were things created?
#1: Step-by-step. The only discrepancy is that there is no Sun or Moon or stars on the first three “days.”
#2: God fixes things up as he goes. The first man is lonely, and is not satisfied with animals. God finally creates a woman for him. (funny thing that an omniscient god would forget things)
How satisfied with creation was he?
#1: God says “it was good” after each of his labors, and rests on the seventh day, evidently very satisfied.
#2: God has to fix up his creation as he goes, and he would certainly not be very satisfied with the disobedience of that primordial couple. (funny thing that an omniscient god would forget things)
Moses’ personality
Num.12:3: “Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the fact of the earth.”
Num.31:14, 17, 18: "And Moses was wroth…And Moses said unto them, “Have ye saved all the women alive? … Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman, … But all the women children … keep alive for yourselves.”
Righteous live?
Ps.92:12: “The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree.”
Isa.57:1: “The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart.”
Acts 1:18: “Now this man (Judas) purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.”
Matt. 27:5-7: “And he (Judas) cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself. And the chief priests…bought with them the potter’s field.”
Jesus’ first sermon plain or mount?
Matt.5:1,2: “And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him: And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying…”
Luke6:17,20: “And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people…came to hear him… And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples and said…”
Jesus’ last words
Matt.27:46,50: “And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, eli, lama sabachthani?” that is to say, “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?” …Jesus, when he cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.”
Luke23:46: “And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, “Father, unto thy hands I commend my spirit:” and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.”
John19:30: “When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, “It is finished:” and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.”

I CHRONICLES 21:11: SO God came to David, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Choose thee. Either THREE YEARS OF FAMINE or three months to be destryed before thy foes, while that the sword of thine enemies overtaketh thee;
Moved David to anger?
II SAMUEL 24: And again the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them to say, Go, number Isreal and Judah.
I CHRONICLES 21: And SATAN stood up against Isreal, and provoked David to number Israel.
The GENEALOGY OF JESUS?
In two places in the New Testament the genealogy of Jesus son of Mary is mentioned. Matthew 1:6-16 and Luke 3:23-31. Each gives the ancestors of Joseph the CLAIMED husband of Mary and Step father of Jesus. The first one starts from Abraham(verse 2) all the way down to Jesus. The second one from Jesus all the way back to Adam. The only common name to these two lists between David and Jesus is JOSEPH, How can this be true? and also How can Jesus have a genealogy when all Muslims and most Christians believe that Jesus had/has no father.
God be seen?

“I will not pity, nor spare, nor have mercy, but destroy.” (Jer. 13:14) “Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not, but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling.”
“The Lord is very pitiful and of tender mercy.” (James 5:11)
“For his mercy endureth forever.” (1 Chron. 16:34)
“The Lord is good to all, and his tender mercies are over all his works.” (Ps. 145:9)
“God is love.” (1 John 4:16)
Tempts?
“And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham.” (Gen 22:1)
“Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God; for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man.” (James 1:13)
Judas died how?
“And he cast down the pieces of silver into the temple and departed, and went out and hanged himself.” (Matt. 27:5)

Who killed Saul
SA1 31:4 Then said Saul unto his armourbearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and abuse me. But his armourbearer would not; for he was sore afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword, and fell upon it.

Depends where you look; Matthew 12:40 gives Jesus prophesying that he will spend “three days and three nights in the heart of the earth,” and Mark 10:34 has “after three days (meta treis emeras) he will rise again.” As far as I can see from a quick look, the prophecies have “after three days,” but the post-Resurrection narratives have “on the third day.”
Oh you can take more versus out of context and do waaayyy better than that, that’s pathetic. I don’t have time to answer ‘everyones’ questions one by one since you don’t have an open mind to hear them anyhow. I will copy and paste as for the first question or contradiction as you call it.
RESPONSE:
The questioner has proven that he is capable of removing a text from its context, and attempting to set it against other texts removed from their context. He has by no means proven that God is inconsistent in His character, nor that the Bible contradicts itself.
Both Jeremiah 13 and 1 Samuel 15 deal with situations where a group of people were due judgment upon them for disobedience or evil conduct. The other texts mentioned (James 5:11; 1 Chronicles 16:34; Psalm 145:9; 1 John 4;16) express the Lord’s goodness upon those who are obedient to His will.
The apostle Paul wrote, “Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in His goodness. Otherwise you also will be cut off.” (Romans 11:22) God’s goodness is upon some, His severity upon others. Our conduct before Him is what determines which is upon us.
There is no contradiction.
And to your last question. Jesus died and rose three days later, on the third day…I don’t see how this is contradicting to anything.
Don’t let them put you off, most people here engage in decent philosophy!
I know, I’m tired of people name calling. If their going to say something they should give their opinion on how a person is being, and what has happened to their brain by your beliefs. I can’t wait to finally see some ‘decent’ philosophy. I’ve just been seeing stupid close-minded arguments.
When logic fails, brutality conquers. Or harsh words.
When someone can’t comprehend simple logic you are bringing, you get frustrated and then say you’re fed up with someone’s mindset. This doesn’t mean logic has failed, it means frustration has occured. Oh wise observer.
Uhh…how hasn’t traditional logic failed when someone cannot ascertain the logical fallacies in their argumentum? Frustration causes the degeneration of the rational aka logical mind. Frustrations roots lie in our primoridial brain where logic does not occur but rather our basic instincts. So I will explain this to you more simply. Logic = a higher faculty. Frustration/Anger = a lower faculty. Therefore once logic fails people resort to their more basic side. Read some psychology and neurology reports on how anger reverts the brain then get back to me.
KTHNXBYE Club.
Lets say for instance two men we’re debating. One was a ignorant jerk, the other was extremely intelligent. The intelligent man knew what he was saying was totally logical but the ignorant jerk didn’t understand it. After many many many debates with this man, the intelligent man finally said what he thought in his mind, this guy’s an idiot. Not for name calling purposes but for a logical evidence behind it. The ignorant man was actually ignorant. It wasn’t name calling, it wasn’t to tangently run away with the discussion, it was out of frustration for the man’s real stupidity.
Do you understand now? Maybe you should take a Critical thinking class.
If what you say is true, every person gets frustrated because they’re wrong. You wanna see how far you can get teaching that to people?
Everyone get’s frustrated. To say that they do because they’ve failed in their logic is just plain stupid, that’s the truth, not because my logical side failed, I believe it’s stupid.
BTW I am gonna show you something Club.
Ironically these posts are statements by you as well…
[qoute] This doesn’t mean logic has failed, it means frustration has occured. Oh wise observer.

1st quote. I still agree with what I said. – Taken out of context.
2nd quote. Still agree- Taken out of context as well.
3rd quote. I’m not even sure if I can remember what I posted that after- Still taken out of context.
4th quote. I do! What’s the problem with stating truth? he went insane.
5th quote. That was after a long logical explanation. - Again taken out of context.
6th quote. I still agree, I believe that.- Don’t think this was taken out of context but you don’t have the question I answered.
7th quote. I still agree. – Taken out of context as well.
8th quote. Frustration with his close-mindedness. - Should have showed the debate.
9th quote. Not sure what that went to. -hmmm must have been taken out of context.
10th quote. True, the versus are taken out of context. What’s the problem?
11th quote. I made a good point. Taken out of context as well. Expression of opinion.
12th quote. I still agree. I posted back from the man’s stupidity and close-mindedness, should have posted what he said.
You’ve solved nothing. You’ve only commited slander. Hope you’re proud of yourself.
“Guess you aren’t the poster Child for Philosophical discussions you think you are.”---- Satori
Guess you aren’t either.
Never said I was unlike you 
Oh so I suppose you were practicing “decent” philosophy in all of these? And they are not out of context when you said them then bitch about people not using real philosophical skills.
BTW how is slander showing statements from you?
I am simply showing you your inequities or pearls of wisdoms you are leaving.
And you are what like 18? And yet you say my critical thinking is flawed?
I looked at the larger biological reasoning for frustration while you used an ignoramus? You should really read some Moore to understand the ideas behind higher faculties etc.
How did I say they were wrong? I just said logic can fail to help people obtain a message. Man…maybe YOU should take some reading comprehension classes.
Once again logic was used as a notion of a higher faculty. Then frustration which lies in the lower faculty category kicks in. And frankly the only thing I have found stupid would be your reasoning and reading comprehension here. And frankly it makes Baby Jesus cry 
. Those who rule by logic would not resort to name calling etc. But everything gets frustrated from rats to humans. Read Harold Bloom’s Lucifer Principle. Oh wait it has Lucifer’s name in it so you won’t.
Club29,
No one is perfect. Me nor you. Don’t be a hypocrite. And open your mind a bit.
I was practicing Decent philosophy, but not ever word I write has to be decent philosophy does it? You don’t.
Ah hah. Logic “can” fail. That doesn’t mean logic always has to fail for someone to get frustrated, just as in my case. So if it wasn’t “will” fail than why did you post something irrevelant to the debate? And even then you still did.
My mind is open until the point where I see my correct Logic. Then for what reason would I have to change it. I’m only wrong because you may think so. You’ve given no reason as to how my logic is wrong yet.
By the way I understand I’m not perfect. None of us are, not even mick. But maybe you should quick holding a grudge against Christians and pick on someone else, like nohotdogbuns. He’s just full of his stereotypical attitude toward Christians and our ways.
Whatever the case. This isn’t a courthouse. This is a debate forum am I right? So why don’t we get back to the topic.
I’m bored. Is this thread about something? I think I’d like to participate if it is.
Club I think some of the guys on here a correct. I think your ARE Mick in England…You never post threads at the same time as Mick…( you cant be logged on at the same time)

The lastest real topic was about how nohotdogbuns thought he found contradictions in the Bible, but really he only took them out of context to make them look contradicting.
