What significance did the “heart” possess in the ancient cultures contemporary with the biblical era? Corresponds more to kidneys in Hebrew. Καρδιά in Greek. |

If God is omnipresent, is he also in hell? For Orthodox Christians everyone experiences unfiltered love of God for eternity. Just some will not find this pleasant, his love will be like 'heaping burning coals on their heads.' But wrath is just our perception. He is actually very loving. |

Why do Christians seek to convert everyone? That is the irony of it. Douglas Wilson also made this claim, he even debated Christopher Hitchens about it. Google Collision. |

Why do Christians seek to convert everyone? Yes but most atheists are driven by a hatred of God. It's rarely mere indifference. |

Why do Christians seek to convert everyone? So no we don't deny. We just don't let Western medieval and Latin thought influence how we interpret first century Greek |

Why do Christians seek to convert everyone? Western concept of hell is distorted from original concepts, more tied to Latin inferno, corresponds more to Gehanna. But we don't believe people go to Gehenna till after final judgment, so not there yet. Gets complicated though with eschatological time (now, not yet, future, future in present, remember future as past), same kind of time occurs every Sunday at Divine Liturgy |

Why do Christians seek to convert everyone? Jesus command is to baptize and teach to obey. We do this as we go, remembering that all authority belong to Jesus and he with us. Concerning hell, two words: Gehenna and Hades - not the same place. Gehenna is where people are sent after final judgment, but this has not happened yet. Hades gets thrown into Gehenna at the end also, the final destruction of death (Paul says it is last enemy to be destroyed). |

Why do Christians seek to convert everyone? Jesus died and defeated every humans enemies (while yet sinners he died for us). Now we cooperate with his divine grace to become free from passions so that we can see (with nous) that God is everywhere present and fills all things. Is true whether we see it or not. Must learn to see (with nous not mind). |

Why do Christians seek to convert everyone? God loves and has mercy freely, he not bound by any "need". That is pagan to think god is bound by external abstract laws. He has mercy by his free loving choice. No need to but does anyway. Why we so gratitude |
