You are so kind, thank you.  I have downloaded it and will read it soon.  I went to the website that is listed at the beginning — it was for the Christian Family Fellowship.  I just wanted to check out where this writer was coming from.  It was a good place and from what I saw it was doctrinally right on.  So, I will read and get back with my take on it and what I have found in the Word.  Thanks!  
OH, one place I have found that has helped me is called Christian Apologetics & Research Ministry.  www.carm.org

More later!

I would like to add that the wars fought in the name of religion were at a time when government and church were the about the same thing.  The church was an empire, and the governments were under the church–and they were out for conquest.  They fought wars in the name of God, but served the empire, not the Lord.

Hope I said that right

Hey guys, glad you bring this up.  I am going through doctrinal discussions with my friend who is a “jehovah's” witness and they don't believe in an eternal Hell either.

I have found the following scriptures which, several coming from Christ, are enough to convince me of eternal, conscious, fiery torment.  Here they are:

Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.
Matthew 3:12

Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire. prepared for the devil and his angels: For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. And these shall go away into everlasting punishment.but the righteous into life eternal.    Matthew 25:41-46

Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.. Jude 7

Interesting viewpoints nonetheless.  I think we need to remember that although our Lord God (Jehovah) wants all to be saved, he is just as JUST as he is merciful.  His ways are higher than ours.

What does the title of Christ mean?
Thanks!
