OneManLegion:But who told you God created hellfire for you? Pls show a scripture that says thus. God created hellfire for Satan and demons. For the umpteenth time. God never created hellfire for any man. Stop listening to Satan. Stop doing what Satan did which brought the idea of hellfire in the first place. You talk about hellfire everyday, why not talk about the things that leads to hellfire sometime. Satan did something, what are you doing now. Shouldn't you stop and think? NO ONE IS SENDING YOU TO HELLFIRE, YOU ARE GOING THERE ON YOUR OWN ACCOUNT. You keep talking about a loving God sending you to hell, but you are not talking about your rebellion against the loving God. This is cheap satanic blackmail and it won't work. U won't enter heaven by blackmail. The part of you which should enter into the kingdom of heaven is dead. Christ came, died and resurrected and restored it to you. All you need now is accept that part you lost in Adam, through Christ. But you refuse, yet you shout injustice and wickedness against God everyday. The gift is free, all you need do is accept Christ. Oga me, you will go to hellfire If u don't repent and accept Christ, finish. |

fonkiee:That is becos you are either JW or you read only King James version of the Bible. Hell= sheol= common grave=no fire. Everyone must go there. Hell=Hades=the abode of the dead. A temporary place where souls are kept awaiting judgement. It's a location in the spirit realm. It is divided into two. Paradise, where the souls of the saints like Abraham and Joseph are kept, and the part where there's torment, where souls like prophet Muhammed, Adolf Hitler, Osama Bin Ladin are kept. After judgement, this location called hades (hell) shall be cast into the lake of fire. Why? because there won't be any need for it anymore. Hell=Gahanna =hellfire. This is the part real burns with fire. Not everyone goes there. Only the condemned goes there. Here, there's fire and brimstone. The fire here never goes off. Day or night. Their worms never dies. Pls, choose not to go there. It's all in your hands. |

Ramon92: Location of Hell The Bible clearly asserts that this fire devours the wicked right here on "the breadth of the earth." Every Bible writer who speaks on the subject of hell adds new insight on this second death of the wicked. Peter states: "But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men." 2 Peter 3:7. Then he goes on to describe the day of the Lord which will melt the very elements with fervent heat. The language of Peter is very explicit about the place of punishment for the un- godly. He says this earth is reserved for that fire which will bring judgment and perdition to the wicked. Their punishment will be in this earth. Isaiah declared, "For it is the day of the Lord's vengeance, and the year of recompenses for the controversy of Zion. And the streams thereof shall be turned into brimstone, and the land thereof shall become burning pitch." Isaiah 34:8, 9. The prophet portrays the entire planet enveloped in the destroying fire. Even the streams and dust are transformed into an exploding combustion of pitch and brimstone. Isaiah says this is God's vengeance and "recompense" at the end of the controversy. David adds to the testimony with these words, "Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire, and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup." Psalm 11:6. Notice that he uses almost the same words as John and Peter in describing the fate of the wicked. All agree as to the place of the punishment (the earth) and the agent of punishment (fire). This brings us to the third great fact about the subject of hell. Hell as a place of punishment will be this earth turned into a lake of fire at the Day of Judgment. But this also raises some other very interesting questions about the fate of the lost. One of the most intriguing and puzzling has to do with the length of punishment. How long will the wicked continue to live and suffer in that fire? No one can answer that question precisely because the Bible says they will be punished according to their works. This means there will be degrees of punishment. Some will suffer longer than others. But one thing we can say with certainty-the wicked won't live in that fire throughout eternity. Hell-Fire Not Endless There are several reasons for being so sure on this point. First of all, this earth is also declared to be the final home for the righteous. Jesus said, "Blessed are the meek: For they shall inherit the earth." Matthew 5:5. Peter, after describing this earth exploding and burning with a great noise, saw a new earth filled with righteousness. "Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness." 2 Peter 3:13. The wicked cannot continue to live in this planet because it has been specifically promised, in its entirety, to Abraham's spiritual seed ( Romans 4:13). After being purged of all the curse of sin, it will revert to the first dominion, and to God's original plan for it. It will be finally what God intended it to be-a perfect home for a perfect people. In the second place, the wicked cannot continue to live in this earth because they have never trusted Christ for eternal life. It is only the righteous who receive the gift of eternal life. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish. ..." John 3:16. But what about those who don't believe in him? They surely will perish. The Bible says, "The wages of sin is death." Romans 6:23. Please don't miss the pointed simplicity of these verses. The wicked are never promised life. They are promised death- eternal death. Only the righteous are promised life-eternal life. But there is only one way to get life without end, and that is through faith in Jesus. John describes it this way: "And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life." 1 John 5:11, 12. Let me ask you a question: Do those wicked ones in the lake of fire have the Son of God? Of course not. Then how could they have life? John says, "Ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him." 1 John 3:15. Will those murderers in hell-fire continue to have life for eternity? Never. It would be the rankest heresy to believe that eternal life could be obtained from some other source than Jesus. Where would the wicked get it? Paul declares that Jesus Christ "hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel." 2 Timothy 1:10. Inspiration reveals no other source of immortality except through the gospel of Christ. Where is a text in the Bible which describes the conferring of immortality upon the wicked? You can read often about the righteous receiving it, but never the unbeliever. Paul said, "Behold I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality." 1 Corinthians 15:51-53. This text speaks of a certain point in time when the righteous will be instantly changed into immortal beings. That time is still future. It occurs when Jesus returns, at the last trumpet sound, when the resurrection takes place. Nowhere in the Bible do we read of the wicked being changed in this manner. And it is precisely because they never receive this gift of eternal life that they are unable to keep living in the lake of fire. It is inconceivable and unreasonable to fabricate such an event. It is contrary to the Bible and repugnant to the senses. Ezekiel declared, "The soul that sinneth, it shall die." Ezekiel 18:4. No matter what we understand a soul to be, let's accept the simple Bible fact that it can die and will die as a result of sin. If the wicked live eternally in the fire, then they have the same thing as the righteous except in a different place. Who could give them eternal life but Christ? John 3:16 settles this issue so clearly and simply. Those who do not believe in the only begotten Son will perish. They will die. They will die the second death-an eternal death from which they will never be raised. That death will never end. It is an endless, eternal punishment, because it is an endless, eternal death.

OneManLegion: Someone may raise this question: What about the unquenchable fire that burns the wicked? Doesn't that mean it will never go out? Of course, it doesn't. To quench means to extinguish or put out. No one will be able to put out the fire of hell. That is the strange fire of God. No one will be able to escape from it by extinguishing it. Isaiah says of that fire, "Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: there shall not be a coal to warm at, nor a fire to sit before it." Isaiah 47:14. After it has accomplished its work of destruction, that fire will go out. No one can deliver themselves from its flame by putting it out, but finally not a coal will be left. So say the Scriptures. Jeremiah prophesied that Jerusalem would burn with a fire that could not be quenched ( Jeremiah 17:27), but it burned down to ashes (2 Chronicles 36:19-21). Read those verses and see how the Bible uses the word "quench." It does not mean fire that will never go out. It only means what it says, "unquenchable." It can't be quenched. And what can we say about the expressions "eternal" "everlasting" which are used to describe the fires of hell? There is absolutely no confusion or contradiction when we allow the Bible to supply its own definition of terms. Many make the mistake of applying modern definitions to those biblical words without reference to their an- cient contextual usage. This violates one of the most fundamental rules of interpretation. The fact is that eternal fire does not mean a fire that will never go out. The same expression is used in Jude 7 concerning the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrha. "Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire." It is quite obvious that Sodom is not still burning today. The Dead Sea rolls over the place where those ancient cities once stood. Yet they burned with "eternal fire," and we are told that it was an example of something. What is it an example of? "And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly." 2 Peter 2:6. There it is! That eternal fire which brought Sodom to ashes is an example of what will finally happen to the wicked. If this text is true, the same kind of fire that destroyed Sodom and Gomorrha will also burn the wicked in the lake of fire. It will have to be eternal fire. Does that mean it will also burn the wicked to ashes? The Bible says Yes. "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 ... 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. No words of any language could make it more forceful or clear. This eternal fire burns up eternally. Even Satan, the root, is finally consumed. How consistent the whole picture appears as we let the Bible explain its own terms. What devious manipulation of words would be required to evade the obvious meaning of these words. Yet those who have been prejudiced by a lifetime of tradition can read those words "burn them up ... they shall be ashes" and still insist that the wicked are alive and suffering. Admittedly, there are some ambiguous verses on this subject, but we are finding that they all harmonize when the context is considered, and the Bible is allowed to be its own commentary. Even Christ's words in Matthew 25:46 are not confusing when we the obvious meaning. "And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal." Many are troubled over the expression, "everlasting punishment," but notice that it does not say "everlasting punishing." Whatever the punishment is, it will last eternally. Does the Bible tell us what the punishment is? Of course. "The wages of sin is death." Romans 6:23. So Jesus was simply saying that the death would be everlasting. It would never end. It would never be broken by a resurrection. Paul simplifies it further with these words: "In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished ... " Now, listen, Paul is going to tell us what the punishment is. "Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power." 2 Thessalonians 1:8, 9. So the punishment is everlasting destruction - a destruction that is everlasting. From it there will be no resurrection or hope of life. But what about that worm which dieth not? Many have read the words of Jesus about hell, "Where their worm dieth not and the fire is not quenched." Mark 9:45, 46. Some have interpreted the worm to be the soul. Is that what Jesus meant? Nowhere in the Bible is there any allusion to the soul as a worm. In this instance Jesus used the word "Gehenna" for the word "hell." It so happened that Gehenna was an actual place of burning just outside the walls of Jerusalem. No doubt, Christ's listeners could see the smoke curling up from the Valley of Gehenna, where dead bodies and garbage were constantly being burned. If anything fell outside the destructive flames, it was quickly consumed by maggots or worms. With the vivid scenes of utter extinction before their eyes, Jesus used the Gehenna fire as an example of the complete destruction of hell-fire. The fire was never quenched, and the worms were constantly at work upon the bodies-a picture of total destruction. Perhaps the most easily misconstrued text about hell is John's allusion to the smoke ascending "for ever and ever." For those who are unfamiliar with other uses of this phrase in the Bible, it can be very confusing indeed. But a comparison of verses in both Old and New Testaments reveal that the words "for ever" are used 57 times in the Bible in reference to something that has already come to an end. In other words, "for ever" does not always mean "without end." Many notable examples could be cited, but two or three are noteworthy. In Exodus 21, the conditions are laid down concerning the law of servitude. If a servant chose to continue serving the master he loved rather than his freedom when it came due, then his ear was to be pierced with an awl and the Scripture declares, "He shall serve him for ever." Verse 6. But how long would that servant serve his human master? Only as long as he lived, of course. So the words "for ever" did not mean without end. Hannah took her son Samuel to God's temple, where he would "there abide for ever." 1 Samuel 1:22. Yet in verse 28 we are plainly told, "As long as he liveth he shall be lent to the Lord." The original meaning of the term "for ever" indicates an indefinite period of time. Generally it defines the period of time in which something can continue to exist under the circumstances prevailing. Even Jonah's stay in the whale's belly is described by him as "for ever." Jonah 2:6. Someone may object that this could also limit the life of the righteous in heaven, because they are described as glorifying God forever. The terms are the same for both the saved and the lost. But there is one tremendous difference in the circumstances involved. The saints have received the gift of immortality. Their life now measures with the life of God. Immortality means "not subject to death." The words "for ever" used in reference to them could only mean "without end," because they are immortal subjects already. But when "for ever" is used to describe the wicked, we are talking about mortal creatures who can die and must die. Their "for ever" is only as long as their mortal nature can survive in the fire which punishes them according to their works. Soul and Body Destroyed This brings us to the final fact concerning the fate of the wicked. After the unsaved are punished according to their sins, they will be wiped out of existence, both body and soul. Jesus states it very simply, "And fear not them which kill the body ... but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell." Matthew 10:28. In the light of this statement, how can anyone continue to claim immortality for the wicked? Jesus, the only One who can bestow the gift of life, rejects the possibility that those in hell can continue to live in any form whatsoever. The life will be snuffed out for eternity, and the body will be annihilated in the flames. The psalmist wrote: "But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the Lord shall be as the fat |
Re: This Lady Claims She Is Going To Hell Fire And So Proud Of It ( Photos ) by blueAgent(m): 9:46am On Feb 17, 2016 |
e fat of
lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they
consume away." Psalm 37:20. "For yet a little
while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt
diligently consider his place, and it shall not be."
Verse 10.
The most powerful, definitive words in human
language are used to describe the destruction in
hell, but people still insist that the writers do not
really mean what their words express. "Destroy,"
"consume," "burn up," "devour," "death"-do these
words have some mysterious, opposite meaning
in the Bible than they have in other books? We
have no reason to think so. The fact is that
theology has made an ogre out of our great God
of love. He has been portrayed as more cruel
than Hitler. Even though Hitler tortured people
and experimented with them, finally he allowed
them to die. But God will keep these deathless
souls alive for the purpose of seeing them writhe
and scream throughout eternity, so the
theologians claim.
God's Justice Vindicated
Not only is such a picture misrepresentative of
God's love, it also distorts His justice. Think for a
moment about the implications of a doctrine that
would consign every lost soul to an immediate,
never-ending hell at the time of death. Suppose a
man died 5,000 years ago with one cherished sin
in his life. His soul would go instantly into the
fire to be tormented for eternity. Then picture
another death; that of Adolph Hitler, who
supervised the deaths of millions of people.
According to the popular doctrine, his soul also
would immediately enter hell to suffer eternally.
But the man who was lost because of only one
sin, will burn 5,000 years longer than Hitler. How
could that be just? Would God deal in such a
manner? It would contradict the Bible statement
that each one must be punished according to his
works.
There are two extreme views in current circulation
concerning the punishment of the wicked. One is
Universalism, which contends that God is too
good to allow anyone to be lost. The other is the
awful doctrine of endless torment which would
perpetuate for all eternity a dark abyss of anguish
and suffering. Both are wrong. The truth lies in
between. God will punish the wicked according to
their works, but He will not immortalize evil in
the process.
I truly believe that many honest souls have been
turned away from God because of their revulsion
at this misrepresentation of His character. They
can't love someone who would arbitrarily keep
evil people in endless torment with no purpose
in view. No rehabilitation is possible. Only a
vindictive spirit of revenge could be served by
such an unspeakable arrangement. Is God like
that? After hearing the Bible truth about hell, a
bank president threw his arms around my
shoulders and said, "Joe, I'm a believer again. For
years I've been an agnostic because I had been
taught that God would torture the wicked
eternally."
No More Pain Or Death
Someday soon God will have a clean universe. All
the effects of sin will be banished forever. There
will be no sin, no sinners and no devil to tempt.
It will be just exactly like God planned it in the
beginning.
John described that future home in these words,
"And God shall wipe away all tears from their
eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither
sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any
more pain: for the former things are passed
away." Revelation 21:4.
Can you find any room in those precious words
for any suffering on the part of anybody in the
whole recreated universe? God said crying and
pain would be no more. Do you believe His Word
or do you choose to believe man's surmising?
Just four verses before writing this promise, John
described how the wicked would be cast into the
lake of fire. "And whosoever was not found
written in the book of life was cast into the lake of
fire. And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for
the first heaven and the first earth were passed
away." Revelation 20:15; 21:1.
That lake of fire is right here on planet earth
according to Revelation 20:9. But please notice
that this place where the wicked burn will pass
away, and God will re-create the new earth in its
stead. The new Jerusalem descends before that
fire devours the wicked, and afterwards,
according to verse 4, there will be no more
sorrow, pain, crying, or death. In order for no
more pain to exist, there can be no eternal hell
existing either. The two things are mutually
exclusive of each other. We should thank God
every day that His plan will finally bring an end to
suffering. Satan will not be here to cause pain,
and God promises that His new kingdom will not
even contain a shadow of a pain.
Hell Not Intended For Us
Finally, we should rejoice that hell was never
intended for you and me. Jesus said it was
"prepared for the devil and his angels." Matthew
25:41. If we stumble into that fire, it will be the
most colossal blunder we could ever make. You
would have to go there over the broken body of
Jesus Christ and in spite of the Father's love, the
Holy Spirit's pleading, and the heavenly influence
of a million angels. The most unanswerable
question in the whole world is this: "How shall
we escape if we neglect so great a salvation?"
There is no answer because there is no escape
except through Christ and His cross. No one will
be lost because he sinned, because everyone has
sinned. No one will be left out of heaven because
he lied, stole, or committed adultery. The only
reason anyone will be lost is because he refuses
to turn away from his sin into the arms of a
loving Saviour who stands ready to pardon and
cleanse from all unrighteousness. "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. |

blueAgent: First off, your point is moot because assuming the events you mentioned doesn't vindicate your faith or make the claims therein plausible. It sure as hell doesn't clear off the inconsistencies in your bible. By the way, your claims that Christianity was a persecuted religion is a big fat lie. Since the modern days, Christianity has been the one doling out the torture and deaths. It's only the bible that the supposed persecution is recorded. You are the joker. An ignorant joker. Oya, start mentioning the times Christianity was attacked by elites, or were killed by atheists for refusing to abandon their faith. You can't come up with any because there's none. I will tell you when Christianity perpetrated atrocities against non-Christians on account of their faith(or as the Christians saw it, lack of faith). Go and read on the Spanish inquisitions. Go and read about the atrocities of the catholic church in Victorian-age England. Heck, read about the reign of Bloody Mary, who roasted hundreds of Protestants alive. Don't forget that the people that enslaved your great-grandfather's cousins were Christians too. Oh, you didn't forget? Cool, just wanted to remind you. Now who is gullible? P.S if you communicate your disagreements with me rudely again, I'll maul your insolent ass here. |

blueAgent: You're irritating me with your logic, or should I say, the conspicuous lack thereof. What exactly do you mean by your statement above? You better stop hounding me and quoting me before I troll you mercilessly. |
