BL-X
My friend and I were talking about an annoying administration of fear technique he's seen used to convey the gospel message: the fear of burning hell is used to convey the urgency of salvation. He also mentioned that a certain arrogance was a deterrent. Now, from my experience, some Christians forget how they sound to those that are not Christians.You might ask, "So, just answer the question. Is there really this burning hell that all non-believers go to if they simply choose not to think that your Christianity is right?"Let me be upfront: the answer is yes. There is...

Pathetic...that was an accurate descriptor, wasn't it? Well, my master plan is to stoke the apologetics fire and build it back up again. I posted over there at the Bl-X and gave some thoughts concerning it. I want to pay more attention to that site, since it is built to equip Christians.
It's a tough thing, keeping up on a site like that. If it had more contributors, I think it'd be better. Posting something of meaning there involves study and work. I give thoughts backed with scripture and that takes time to find. I often start with a thought that I know is a biblical principle, but don't know where my supportive evidence for that thought is, and then I go find that evidence in the scriptures. It winds up taking a lot of time. It's fun and helps my walk, but it's almost impractical to think of posting at least every other day. Without the misery of college and it's accompanying homework, I'd be more apt to go about such an undertaking.
Anyhow, go take a look. Leave some thoughts if you have any.
