hell

16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16) Jesus said everyone would “perish” unless he gave us an “everlasting” life, a life that does not perish. Since we know that all who...

For most of my life I had heard people talk about these Biblical concepts, and had been led to believe they were one and the same Hell = the pit / abyss Satan is in hell, Satan = sin, Hell is where sinners go, and so on and so forth Let's examine these words using the concordances αδης hades...

Catholics and Protestants view heaven and hell as places for God's rewards for the just and the unjust. Hollywood portrays hell as a place that Satan rules and demons torture people eternally, which eventually came to be believed by some Christians, as portrayed by those Judgement Houses and...

As Im quite sure most of you have noticed in the recent weeks, Pope Francis caused quite a havoc due to his apparent denial of hell. I have been faced with widespread questions by Protestant family since this very heterodox interview by the the pontiff. It is tiresome and tedious I think we all...

I had posted this previously, but I wanted to open up the audience a little ... For more than 50 years, I have heard ministers state that Jesus spoke more of Hell than He did of Heaven. I heard it so consistently, and heard no contradiction of the statement, so I imagined that it must be true...

For more than 50 years, I have heard ministers state that Jesus spoke more of Hell than He did of Heaven. I heard it so consistently, and heard no contradiction of the statement, so I imagined that it must be true. But after I read through the scriptures for the first time, ... the statement...

Awhile back while reading about the philosophy of free will, I was deeply struck by the point that any event is either determined by the events before it, or it is random. "Free will" has to fit into that, somehow. This realization has shook me very deeply as it makes the fact that God would...

Last night I had a dream where I went to my real biological Father and I asked him If I made it in, I felt as if I was watching over myself in the dream yet still feeling and interacting like I was myself in the dream, but I knew and understood everything that was happening even though I was...

We know that we should not seek to harm those who have harmed us. If fact, we should forgive them and do good to them as the Lord gives opportunity. But putting this truth into practice can be a great challenge when people have faced terrible evil. I had the incredible privilege of serving the...

My name is Amber and this is the third time I've posted on here with a fear. It won't be the last, I know. I'm sorry that I keep posting about similar things, but I have to get it out and talk to people. So, I've just recently been believing in God, and I've been fearing a lot. A lot of my...

My name is Amber. I suffer from pretty bad OCD. I have had it for most of my life, but within the past month, it's been worse than its even been! And it started when I began believing in God again! I believed all of my life until I stopped about a year ago. I began to believe again about a month...

I have been scouring the web, and mostly the bible for ways I may redeem myself to the lord to reach the eternal heavens. In a society that is not majorly surrounded by athiests, and non-believers in Christianity, and other faiths, it can be rather complicated to interpret, and even connect with...

I understand you go to hell for cheating on your spouse. Therefore if I decided to never get legally married, would that ensure I go to heaven? I'm concerned that I am about to get married and getting married will cause me to go to hell when I cheat on my spouse? I probably have a good 60...

This opening post was originally the second post in a series on my blog which so far has only two posts. Nevertheless, I think this can be read on its own. If you're interested, the first part can be read here: What’s Wrong with the Universalist Story. In the first part, I showed that the...

Say you didn't think the micro chip was the mark but later realize it is. You got it. Would God forgive you for making a mistake? What if you cut it out? What if you were desperately sorry and renounce the beast? Is it too late then?

The Bible doesnt say much on mental illness or the unsound mind. Which we OCDers have. This verse scares me because like you all I cannot control my doubt or fears. Some say this is in context is to deny Christ due to persecution in end times or somthing... THE FEARFUL SHALL NOT INHERIT THE...

I'm supposed be away on a meditative break, but I need to put my foot down on this evil! From: The False God Of The Modern Era | Christian Forums "Interestingly enough, the first appearance of the god of power in Christian thought, emerged in an argument for Universalism. A monk named William...

when I was younger about 8/9 I found out what the unpardonable sin is. I thoughts it was when you cursed God. Then I started to think repetitive blasphemous thoughts that were uncontrollable. I couldn't go to sleep. As I got older I started to my research and it came to be I did not commit that...
