Yes, it's eternal suffering
Does the Bible support an eternal, fiery hell?
***ASSUME GOD EXISTS AND THE BIBLE IS ALL TRUE. PLEASE PROVIDE TEXT SUPPORTS***
Winning Position: No.
***Assuming God exists***, and that the Bible is factual, which day is the real Sabbath. Mainstream Christianity has been worshiping on Sunday since the 800s. However, the Bible says the Sabbath is on Saturday, the seventh day of the week.
Arguments for Sunday: When Jesus died on the cross, He abolished the Old Testament (OT) laws. Thus, the law indicating worship on Saturday has been abolished as well, and we worship on Sunday to remember His ressurection.
Arguments for Saturday: The Sabbath was created on the seventh day of Creation, when God rested and sanctified it. It was a 'law' long before Moses recieved the 10 Commandments or wrote down the 600-and-some other laws, the very laws abolished by Christ's sacrifice. Jesus was known to teach and worship on the seventh day, as were all his desciples thereafter. And since the seven-day week has been special to some people (as there were righteous people all throughout history until Christ, and then the Jews have kept pretty good tabs on things), we can assume the seventh day of the week hasn't been changed over time.

Rules: As the existance of God is implied, there should be nobody arguing in this post saying that it's irrelevant as He doesn't exist. If you don't believe in God, find anoter post to argue so. This is purely inside a religious view.
Also, try and be polite and kind. Please don't vomit views, but be rational and reasonable. Feel free to make up your own debate tags other than the three default ones. Just please don't make them obscene.

Yes, we should screen posts
As this is supposed to be a logical debate, should a program screen posts and block them if there are too many mispelled words? As spellcheck runs while you type your post, there really is no excuse to read something like: "i onesly tink dat kindles r betr cuz tink bout it lik dis, u cn by ovr 3500 books dat's prty kewl n i hav a kindle, at 1st i didnt wnt it but once i got it... i luv it. i cnt stp reading now i dontb get y no won wants 1 der soOoOoOoOoO kewl, n i dnt care wut nee1 ls tnks cuz dare AWESOM." Or is there?
