Which means, those that are sinners, abominable, murderers etc...that are ALSO unbelieving...
Simply put, an atheist that has never 'sinned', is not being addressed here, so your statement that non-believers will go to Hell as portrayed in the New Testament is still incorrect.
You are shifty here.
In 21:8 the
unbelieving obvious refer to atheists.
Yes, the atheists AND the theists that commit heinous acts and other 'sins', will apparently burn (ridiculous). The buy bull is full of metaphors, 666 is more likely, no longer having the right to reincarnate as human, becoming 'the beast', in future existence.
Burn where ??... the context is HELL.
I was right all the while in claiming many Christians believed they will go to Hell if they do not believe in their God.
Your ignorance has caused me to waste time and effort.
It is not ridiculous for those who believe in Hell and avoiding Hell by surrendering to God.
Their believing in a God and avoiding hell is represented by the real psychology of relieving their anxieties about Hell. This idea of Hell is propped up by real existential fears of mortality in a
subliminal mode. The potential and reality of evil is SOME theists will kill those who are a threat to their beliefs - note Islamists.
Your approach to theism is of the more matured kind but it is nevertheless fundamentally psychological and driven
subliminally by existential impulses.

I've answered this question at least three times already. Again, I KNOW from 21yrs of EXPERIENCE that God exists. So how the hell can I become an atheist.
There is NO benefit to me being a Panentheist, it just happens to be the closest philosophical form of theism to the nature of God that I have experienced. (I said to you, its the best glove that fits - I guess you are not familiar with that saying).
It is because you have never made the comparison between panentheism and atheism, thus you are unable to answer.
I have just given you a sufficient answer above (for the 4th time). What is your primary language, because I am certain it is not English, either that or you are unintelligent.
Yes English is not my mother tongue but I don't believe it is a handicap on this issue.
I am asking the same point from a different perspective.

supposed, you are given a really hard choice of having to choose between panenthism and atheism, which will you choose and why?
I DON"T HAVE A CHOICE, I
KNOW GOD EXISTS.
Conventionally the Sun exists as a justified true belief because the empirical Sun can be easily proven within an empirical framework and system, e.g. Science.
"You" know God exists but such a belief is not a justified
true belief.
Knowledge = Justified True Belief.
If what you "know" is to be a justified true belief and knowledge, then such a belief must be able to be justified truthfully.
Note generally a belief in God is by default based on faith, i.e. belief without reason nor proofs.
A belief in God cannot be a justified true belief, i.e. not knowledge.
Thus a belief in God do not have any truth value of reality.
If a belief in God is not real truth, then such a belief is merely for psychological reason.
This is similar to a schizophrenic who believed gnomes are truly real because he personally had conversations with them in his garden.
As I had said above;
Your approach to theism is of the more 'matured' kind but it is nevertheless fundamentally psychological and driven
subliminally by existential impulses.
