Is Hell Real? What The Bible Says About Hell by iliyande(m): 7:10am On Mar 06, 2016 |
God has given us enough education about the torment that is in hell, the people who go there and how we can avoid the pits of it. While, as Christians, we don't really focus on hell as much because we know that when we abide in Jesus it is not part of our destiny anymore, it is good to have a healthy view of hell for two reasons: to know what we must save our non-believing loved ones from and to further appreciate God's love and grace by knowing what Christ has saved us from. What does the Bible tell us about hell? Hell is not God's choice Galatians 6:8 tells us "For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life." God does not willingly throw people into hell just because He wants to, but because it is the choice of those who are destined to be there. God has made it clear that we can either choose to live with Him now and forever, or be doomed to be separated from Him forever. Sadly, many people still choose to live lives separate from God, and there's no one else responsible for that choice except themselves. Hell goes on forever Hell will not last a thousand years or a million years. It will be for all eternity. It's daunting to know that we only have a hundred years or less to make a decision that will affect our eternity, but God makes it simple: We are only to believe in Him, period. 2 Thessalonians 1:9 says, "They will suffer the punishment of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might." Hell is not just physical torment, but spiritual torment Although the Bible paints a picture of hell by narrating physical torment, the punishment of hell is far more painful than that. Matthew 10:28 tells us, "And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell." Hell is where God's grace is absent The greatest punishment is not the presence of pain and suffering, but the absence of God's love and mercy. Today, everyone still has a taste of that love and grace in one way or another, but those who will fall into eternal fire will no longer experience that love and grace one day. John 3:36 says, "Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him."

Point of correction: Hell is not physical torment. When you die your celestial body is put up for judgement not the terrestrial body. The spirit is what faces judgement not the body. Celestial body is not physical. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Does "Hell" really exist? Is there a "Hell" in the Bible? Hell no! There is no "Hell" in the Bible! What is "hell" like, really? Is it located here on earth, or in some other dimension? Is it real, or a myth? Can the Bible lead us to the truth? Where is "hell" first mentioned in the Bible, and why is it so hard to find in the more accurate modern translations? Why was the punishment of "hell" never mentioned to the original sinners―Adam, Eve and Cain―nor to unbelievers like the Pharaoh who defied God repeatedly? Are there Bible verses that clearly describe "hell," explaining its origins and purpose? Hell no! If you study "hell" in the Bible, you're in for a long, fruitless search for facts, definitions and explanations. Why? Because the Hebrew prophets never mentioned a place where human beings writhe in eternal torment, gnashing their teeth forever. Nor did the prophets ever mention even the possibility of suffering after death. Isn't that extremely odd, if there really is a hell and God wanted us to know how to avoid it? The Hebrew Bible (our Old Testament) mentions a place called Sheol, but as I will demonstrate below —quoting book, chapter and verse—the Hebrew word Sheol clearly means "the grave" or "the abode of all the dead, good and bad. " The same is true in the New Testament, where the Greek word Hades also clearly means "the grave" or "the abode of all the dead." Nor does Gehenna mean "hell," as I explain below. So "hell" is not a biblical teaching at all, but a harrowing mistranslation used by charlatans to brainwash believers into forking over their hard-earned money while obeying commandments they never bothered to observe themselves. (It seems hell hath no fury like a hypocritical moralist out to control other people's behavior.) Unfortunately, the innocents who suffer most from this hellish dogma are highly impressionable children who trust their parents, pastors, youth directors and Sunday School teachers not to mislead them ... 15 Likes |

Hell only exist in the minds of misguided religious fanatics. It is a fairytale fantasy cooked up by religious leaders to control their followers. Heaven and hell doesn't exist. Once you die, that's the end of your life. 10 Likes |

I think the Bible says that the punishment for sin is death.. Where did hell Come in When Adam and Eve sinned, God told them that they would die. Not go to hell. Remember that it's them that introduced us to sin. And their punishment is just death.. And if we sinned we get to suffer forever in fiery hell. Does that make sense? Remember that God is a God of Justice and justice required that we suffer the same punishment for sin. Hell definitely is not the Devine punishment for sin. Or can someone show me hellfire in the whole Bible? Simply put, the Devine punishment for sin is death. Jehovah's witness have been exposing false religious teachings since 1800 19 Likes 1 Share |
