If there is a hell, what percentage of humans should go there?

[Sgt. Pepper]

There is nothing in the Bible that says dead bodies will rise from their graves and come back to life.
That belief is based on a gross misinterpretation of the Bible coupled with wishful thinking.
The resurrection is spiritual, not physical.

Bodies once decomposed cannot come back to life, it's the most absurd belief that Christians hold.

Agreed.

Christians who want to rise from the dead and live on earth forever are like lost and confused earthbound spirits.

All I can say is that I hope they find a psychic medium who will assist them in crossing over into the spirit world. It truly breaks my heart to meet a lost and confused earthbound human spirit who truly believed that they would be in heaven with God and Jesus after their death. They don't understand why they aren't in heaven yet, and many are afraid that they have unforgiven sins that will prevent them from going to heaven. Many of these spirits were even more shocked when they learned that psychic mediumship is real and that I could see, hear, and speak directly to them as a psychic medium. And many of these spirits began to believe that they had been duped into believing what the Bible teaches about what happens to people when they die. Not only were they angry, but they also stated that they felt foolish or betrayed and had no idea what to do, which is when I stepped in and explained to them that they were earthbound and that, as a psychic medium, I could help them cross over. Every human spirit I've guided in crossing over was grateful for my assistance.

The passage in the Gospels about the zombie invasion of Jerusalem sure makes it sound like it's talking about dead bodies literally rising from the grave.

52 And tombs were opened, and the bodies of many saints who had died[cm] were raised. 53 (They[cn] came out of the tombs after his resurrection and went into the holy city and appeared to many people.)

If you took the absurd stuff out of the Bible, there wouldn't be much left.

they were raised ,they did not standup

 

[9-10ths_Penguin]

I always assumed that "they went into the city" meant that they walked from the cemetery into the city, but I suppose it would also fit the account if the corpses magically floated.

If "this world" is not Earth, what do you think it is?

Sure, there are a lot of stories in the Bible, most of which are FICTIONAL.

You can say THAT again.

Were raised to what? They were raised to spiritual life, not physical life.
Physical bodies once dead to not come back to life.

Yeah, and Jonah was still alive while sitting in the belly of a big fish for three days.

And that's not to mention the talking serpent in the Book of Genesis and the talking donkey in the Book of Numbers.

As Trailblazer said, you can say that again.

Let's not forget the parting of the Red Sea.... I love that scene in the movie The 10 Commandments.

raised to the surface ,as in ,above ground . needing to be berried again. a similar thing happens in cemeteries when flood waters happen

Any time a punishment becomes eternal, it is inherently unjust. Absolutely zero people should be tormented in hell forever.

Hells fire is eternal -
Eternal punishment means eternal separation from God - not eternal torture. Meaning there will be no more chances, it's over it's done, your spirit/soul has been utterly and absolutely destroyed in the "second death" when it is cast into the lake of fire as written in Revelation 21:8 -- which is also referring to Matthew 10:28 it is written don't fear him who can only kill the body but fear Him who can "kill" "both body and soul in hell."

Matthew 3:12 tells us but the chase the Lord will burn with unquenchable fire.

Those scriptures are telling an individual will be consumed by hells fire burnt up.

According to scripture Revelation 20:10 the ONLY ONE that is actually said to be tormented day and night that is the DEVIL. ___

 

[SDavis]

Hopefully this is replying to the post and not an individual.

Scripture says All men has sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.

It is only through the mercy of God that any will be saved.

There is a whole lot more going on here than the Bible tells us. Whether it was actually written before and destroyed by The Babylon and forgotten in time or not. There is a lot more to this.

How are these bodies raised to the surface?

That's true, there is a whole lot more than Jesus revealed in the Bible, and that is why Jesus said:

John 16
12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. 13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. 14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

 

[Trailblazer]

earth quake

Can you be a bit more specific? What do you think is going to happen?

 

[cataway]

it was a quake that raised the dead bodies

 

[Trailblazer]

it was a quake that raised the dead bodies

Is that in the Bible? If so, where is it?

So do you believe demons can speak to people in their brains?
