I just took the time to look into the site in question above .
It seems they offer some well researched assertions . But with somewhat of a spirit of over statement , in the lack of objectivity which includes verses and testimony which can offer a contrasting depiction .
Such as -
For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.
And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts. <-----> Malachi 4:1-3
This passage suggests the idea that the wicked will be utterly comsumed . ( And there are others like it . ) - ( Jeremiah 17:18 for example )
It seems best to consider all God's Word on any given subject , and not highlight only those passages which support a particular view , or notion , especially when dealing with a subject which is yet to be clearly brought into plain sight .
Scripture warns against " intruding into things which we have not seen ,
[ and being prideful to think we already know what has not yet been fully revealed ] ". ( See Colossians 2:18 & 1st Corinthians 8:2 )
In couple of places Jesus said -
And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe. <-----> John 14:29 ( See Also John 13:19
Also 16:4 )
And Paul said of our current state that -
For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. <-----> 1st Corinthians 13:12
Regarding the concept of Hell , Everlasting Punishment , etc. , how much detail is really necessary for us to know that , it's certainly the place / state of being / ceasing to be , that we should avoid , if at all possible .
The knowledge of severe punishment for unrepentant wickedness and rebellion towards God , isn't what saves us , although it may help to point us in Christ's direction ; it is however the Intimate Knowledge of Jesus Christ and being transformed by His Mercy , Faith , and Grace , into that which is Pleasing in God's Sight , which saves us , from the grieving which now is , and The Wrath which is to come .
The statement below appears to be an overstatement . When someone resorts to " overstatement " it usually indicates impure inspiration is somewhat behind their motivation ; otherwise they would have the confidence to let what is self-evident witness on it's own without exagerating or embellishing the facts .
The other day I read the quote that - " Jesus taught / spoke more about money than any other single thing " .
At the time this statement didn't sit well with my spirit , so I did a little research and found that verses which mention money , penny , pound , etc. in The Gospels totalled about 40 some odd . But verses which spoke of faith belief , trust , etc. totalled around 100 or so .
Now we have the assertion that " Jesus spoke more about hell than any other subject " ... Well , after a quick comparison -- hell , & fire relating to hell is mentioned by Jesus in approxiametely 50 verses ; but faith and believe is mentioned by Jesus in somewhere around 75 verses .
It still appears that Jesus spoke / taught / preached about faith and believing more than anything else .
If you haven't already , you should find it interesting to look in a concordance and see how many times faith is mentioned in The Old Testament ( and consider the context in which it is mentioned ) , and then look to see how many times faith is mentioned in The New Testament . I think most will be surprised at what they find ... I know I was , the first time it occurred to me to look it up .
As far as " The rich man and Lazarus " and whether it is an actual account of a literal occurance ; or more of a parable in metaphorical language .
I can see potential for it to be either ... but regardless the reason Christ spoke it shoud remain unchanged ... to warn and encourage us to remember those most in need , and not lay up treasures on earth , but lay them up in Heaven instead . ( See Galatians 2:10 ; Matthew 6:19-21 & 1st Timothy Chapter 6 )
Whenever discussing matters which tend to stir debate , we should be on guard against a spirit of strife which can steal our attention away from being individually responsive to The Lord's clearly revealed Instruction for our life . For it is in that realm of interaction with Christ and His Holy Spirit that our spiritual growth and development takes place which confirms that our calling and election is sure .
