    CONDITIONAL IMMORTALITY

    All Christians agree that God is love, but how can a loving God condone eternal torture even for people who deserve it? The Holy See recently published a statement denying the existence of hell. This statement became immediately controversial because it seemed to deny divine justice...

    Matthew 11

    Matthew 11 Jesus is now teaching and preaching in the cities, He is finished with His commands for the 12 Disciples. The first part of this chapter tells us much about John the Baptist. Jesus and John have known each other since the womb. John knows what to watch for and Jesus tells them to...

    I do not fear God

    When I die I don't know where I'm going to go. I have recently asked to God to let me know him etc but I do not fear God. I am very laid back when this is meant to be a serious matter. I don't know if this is because I believe I suffer from depression and so maybe I'm numb to any feelings. It's...

    Record Heat

    Last night as Oklahoma had a heat burst at midnight and in the Mideast temperatures stayed 108 for 24 hours , alarms went off. Many have had many die the last 6 weeks from heat in Canada and around the world. satan's number one job is to use whatever he can to take our eyes off God. You...

    Why are so many Christians against annihilation in hell when scripture supports it?

    Before I begin I want to say that I am in no way one of those people who believe in annihilation to please my flesh or rely on my own understanding to make myself feel better. Sure you can use God's character as an argument, but I am here to show you pure biblical evidence where God clearly...

    2 Peter 3 and the Bridge

    Drought of the Heart is my call from God,it has not stopped evolving since that first bridge walk. Today when I saw they had to fire hose a bridge in Chicago because the steel got so hot it changed form , I paused. God never wants any to parish, by parish I mean go to hell. We live in a time...

    Two Questions

    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...

    Hell, Darkness and the Pit

    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...

    How do the Orthodox view heaven and hell

    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...

    Annihilation, Scalfari, The Pope and "Gaudete et Exsultate"

    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...

    Did Jesus Speak More about Hell than Heaven ?

    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...

    Can anyone provide an alternative to determinism or non-determinism?

    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...

    Is The Lord trying to say I'm going to HELL?

    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...

    Hell is Payback

    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...

    Idk if I'll even be genuine enough for God

    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...

    Will Sins Send A Christian To Hell?

    Will Sins Send A Christian to Hell? Real quick, how I define Sin: 1 John 3:4, Whosoever commits sin transgresses also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. 1 John 5:14, All unrighteousness (wrongdoing) is sin. In other words, I look at sin as anything that misses the mark...

    Desperate from HELP!!!

    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 Need For "Salvation"

    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...

    can you avoid hell by not getting married?

    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...
