Prayers for understanding and acceptance

[Light on the Hill]

I have been doing some research (more so reading the Controversial Christian Theology threads) and the doctrine of hell is really shaking me up. I think this is the first time I really sat and thought about what it means. The UR proponents make a better case philosophically, those is the CI camp make more sense logically, but the ED proponents seem to have Scripture lining up with them better. Its causing me some serious stress, so please pray the Spirit to reveal to me the truth and to understand and accept whatever it may be. Not only to accept it, but to be at peace with it because it is His will.

Edit: Changed ECT to ED, I want to be fair in how I portray each view.

The doctrine of "hell" and what hell is .... is dependent on whether a person believes mankind is in some way immortal .... so one should study His word carefully about that. Some believe we have an immortal "spirit/soul" that goes somewhere. I do not find this to be the case. We are mortal and will not become immortal until Jesus returns.

I certainly agree with you in prayer. I know how you feel. When I have felt confused and have sought out this so-called biblical scholar, and that so-called biblical scholar, over and over I’ve always found them disagreeing with one another.

And I have been led that there is truth that has nothing to do with their arguments on either side!

But when I turned to the Holy Spirit and asked for light, it came each time.

This is one reason why we are told that we need that no man should teach us, but that the Holy Spirit will teach us.

I don’t see how it matters what people say based on a doctrine. The only doctrine that’s important is the gospel and what God say in His word.

I don’t know if you ever heard preaching on “outside the camp” Exodus 33:7 KJV, Hebrews 13:13-14 KJV. “Outside the camp” has other meanings relating to Israel, but for us in Christ, we seek Him outside the camp, believing only His word, believing only His doctrine regardless what others say. Our salvation is not based on doctrine others abide by, so we ignore them and go “outside the camp” away from men when needing to know the truth of the Bible.

Apostle Paul gives this warning, Galatians 1:8-9 KJV.

There’s nothing wrong with assembling to worship and study, but when you become confused, you must go “outside the camp.” God is calling you to sanctification and there is no power that can do that accept the Holy Spirit.”

When the Holy Spirit deals with us, it’s outside the camp, meaning alone with God praying for revelation, peace in your spirit, strength in our inner man, desire to read the word, revelation of the truth!

Turn your mind from man’s doctrine, and turn to Paul’s doctrine, the gospel. Paul said He is our father in the gospel of Christ, 1 Corinthians 4:15 KJV. Through his epistles, the gospel of Christ, Romans 1:16 KJV, Paul is presenting us as chaste virgins to the Lord, 2 Corinthians 11:2 KJV. No one else can do that because Jesus gave that service to Paul, Acts 9:15-17 KJV. Listen with the heart as you read and study Apostle Paul’s teachings and the other epistles.

As long as you believe on Christ you are saved and will not suffer in the fire. Christ saved us from God’s wrath, Romans 5:9-10 KJV.
