ALL INCLUDED

If people are in constant danger of burning for all eternity, should not each one have warned of this awful place there was to shun? Especially Paul, who wrote the majority of the NT, should he not have warned people of this awful place where there was a possibility they could go to and burn for all eternity. The only ones that used it in the NT were Acts 2 times, James once, Peter once and revelation four times. None of these places mean eternal fire and torment.

Paul also says in Acts 20:27 that he declared unto them all the counsel (advice, purpose, will) of God and he never told them they could be in danger of burning forever? Isn’t that a bit strange that he would have told them he had preached to them the whole counsel of God and left something as important as hell fire out of it? We know the answer to that is simply Paul knew the whole counsel of God did not include any torture chamber created by God for those that would even dare to disobey Him. It is impossible to find the meaning for how the church teaches it. I guess we have to decide whether the teaching of man is wrong or the teaching of God. Romans 3:4 says let God be true and every man a liar. I rest my case on that one.

I think we all agree that God is love. Now ask yourself this question….what part of love creates a place where a Father will burn and torture His children? How many Dads out there have ever used fire to punish their children when they were disobedient? How many have taken a torch for even 1 minute to make sure they understood what being punished meant? I know these questions are quite drastic but no more drastic than to say God created a place where His children can be placed into if they have not believed what He says and not only for a minute, but for eternity without any hope of escape!!

We are talking about something that will never stop and without any chance of escape, according to traditional teaching. Can anyone even begin to see how anything like this can be believed? Can anyone explain to me how in one breath we can say He is a God of mercy and love and then in the next breath say He has created a torture chamber for the disobedient ones? It is almost maddening to even think that anyone that says they love God could preach something as ludicrous as that.

I have certainly not exhausted this subject and I am not sure how much longer I will post on this. Maybe this will be the last one, I’m not sure. I hope I have brought out some points here that have made someone think seriously about this. One thing I will say is this….if you claim to believe people are in danger of burning forever in God’s eternal torture chamber, then you had better be out there 24/7 screaming this warning from the housetops as people are in extreme danger. If you are not out there doing this, then if I was you I would question whether I believe this or not. To say you believe it and not do anything about it is very heartless. I don’t have to be out there screaming this out because I know the Lord has looked after the issue of the grave and He has the keys. I prefer to proclaim Christ and Him crucified so that people can see the freedom that was purchased for them at
Calvary.

You young couples out there starting a family. If you are to believe what the traditional churches preach on hell, then do you realize there is only a 10% or so chance your children will make it into heaven? That leaves a 90% or so chance they may not make it and burn forever in God’s torture chamber. This is not what I teach but what the traditional church teaches. If I believed something so ludicrous, the last thing I would want is to have children and place them in such a predicament that there exists a possibility that they may burn forever. Isn’t that an awful big chance to take? I have two grown children (19 & 25) and the least of my worries is that they will end up in a burning hell.

I am not here to warn anyone about the possibility they may burn forever but to tell them they are free from ever having to pay the consequences of their sin. Jesus tasted death for EVERY man (Heb 2:9). How many does that leave out? A loving God is just waiting to reveal these things to your hearts and bring salvation to your soul (mind, will, emotions, intellect). Your redemption is already secure in Him and you have been bought with a great price. Rest in this.
