The Bible and Rules/Regulations

Isn’t the bible filled with examples of rules, regulations and traditions to be followed. Yes, in the OT after the fall God gave them rules and regulations to observe. He sent Jesus to break the yoke of burdensome religion to bring back the intimate relationship with God that was in the garden. Yet all man did was to adapt the OT system to the NT. The renting of the veil was to destroy the religious system not revamp it to the post cross world.

DO NOT FORSAKE THE ASSEMBLING OF YOURSELVES TOGETHER! by David Yeubanks

“Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together" (Hebrews 10:25), is a common verse cited by Christians who believe that if you're not attending weekly meetings or plugged in a church denomination that you are somehow out of sync with Scripture and, for all practical purposes, "backsliding".

If that is the conclusion ...

Dare I ask? Hey, I am just asking!!!! Is it possible that the religious world could be wrong in their understanding of the doctrine of Hell? Is it possible that they hold to deception's lie as truth, through misinterpretation and misunderstanding of the Bible on the subject as taught by misinformed denominated seminarians? If the accepted doctrine of hell is correct what does that do to God's mercy enduring for ever as recorded in Psalm 136:1...what does it do to God's love that is never ending as stated in 1 Corinthians 13:8. How often have we heard or even posed the question ourselves to those we deem to be sinners, “Turn or burn", "have you accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour to escape hell?” Allow me to do a little role playing here and play the part of a non-believer as you...a Christian...witnesses to me, the hell bound sinner. I am aware that some reading this has already concluded I am not role playing because they deem ...
