Is Hell Real Or A Metaphor ? by Idango(m): 2:12pm On Aug 20, 2017 |
The subject of hell is something most people will rather not talk about . Most preachers have avoided talking about hell, they will rather preach about the love of God than to mention hell fire. Some have even said that the love of God is so great that he can't throw anyone into hell and that hell is just a metaphor. The bible in Psalm 9:17 said that the wicked shall be turn to hell and all the nations that forget God. The bible in the new testament talk about hell in 162 texts , 70 of these were uttered by the Lord Jesus christ himself. Revelation 20 :15 says " And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire." Hell is a place of torment for unrepentant sinners. What do you think about hell ? |

Idango: Hell is real, but I won't lie that ---- I WISH IT WASN'T REAL. God didn't create hell for humanity but for the fallen angels who sinned at first. People only think otherwise that He ( God ) really created it for sinners to perish --- that's thinking outside the box! And they all tend to get scared and panicky. Some even fear hell than God Himself. But the 1John4:18 says "there is no fear in love; but perfect love cast out fear: because fear has torment. He that fears is not made perfect in love." If we love God and fear him, but not hell, the fear of torment about hell would be cast out! How do you fear and love God? Keep His commandment, and you'll escape the pits of hell. The Bible tells us that, God does not want us to perish but willing that all should come to the light of His salvation, which in other words, He manifested Himself in human form to die for our sins and reconcile us back to Himself. Hell was not created for humanity! 1 Like |

Idango: This a reference to atomic destruction of particular areas on the planet that went against the tyranny rules of the Illojim\Elohim. This is a deep story I will not go into, but it has nothing to do with a place where people will burn for ever. The bible in the new testament talk about hell in 162 texts , 70 of these were uttered by the Lord Jesus christ himself. Jesus did not say that, the writer of revelation did, and this revelation stories have absolutely nothing to do with Christianity. The bible is an Extratterstrials stories meant for those who truly have high thinking capacity, otherwise it will lead to what you are asking.[/quote] Hell is a place of torment for unrepentant sinners. Next time you see hell, think Atomic destruction, nothing more. |

ifenes: What are your claims? ![]() Jesus did not say that, the writer of revelation did, and this revelation stories have absolutely nothing to do with Christianity. "Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last: and, what you see, write in a book, and send it to the seven churches. . . -Rev1:11" "Write the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter -Rev1:19" What are you insinuating? Jesus told him to write what he saw and not fiction. The bible is an Extratterstrials stories meant for those who truly have high thinking capacity, otherwise it will lead to what you are asking. Don't misinterpret it to your own knowledge. It is not meant for 'those' ... It is meant for everyone who believes! Hell is a place of torment for unrepentant sinners. Woah! 2 Likes 1 Share |

Here is one of my favorite songs ![]() BECAUSE OF LOVE ( LYRICS ) Because of love he left his throne And made this earth His home He did it willingly For you and me With heaven left behind He came to save all mankind From sin and shame He could have walked away But instead He chose To stay upon that tree And take a crown of thorns for me Because of love Because of love he bore my pain (bore my pain) Shouldering the blame Why did He chose to go (He didn't have to go, no) How could He love me so? Because of love He called to me He said child I will set you free You'll have life abundantly Because of love (because of love) He gave unselfishly Caused my blinded to eyes to see It was you and me He had in mind On the road to Calvary I never known such a perfect love I had fallen down but He picked me up He rescued my soul Now I want the world to know Because of love He left the grave Prepared for us a place He'll back again someday And I will hear Him say Because you believed You'll live eternally And I'll fall on my knees And I will cry You are holy, holy, lord god almighty You are worthy, to receive glory Honor and power forever Holy, holy, lord god Almighty You are worthy To receive glory Honor and power forever Amen, A-amen, oh A-amen Amen Holy, holy, holy Holy, holy, holy Holy, holy, holy Jesus you are The angels bow down and say Holy, holy, holy All creation cries out Holy, holy, holy You're worthy of all the glory Forever Amen - women of faith & Natalie Grant. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Idango: Deeper life teaches you to live in fear. Am I wrong ? Yes I had a deeper life parent which made me know all about Kumuyi. But again, he has the right to decieve those who are too lazy to rescue themselves. I will school Kumuyi when it comes to the bible. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Idango:To doubt the existence of hell is to doubt the very existence of God. Jesus was not been metaphorical whrn he was talking about hell. In luke 16:19-31, Jesus told us a story that gives tangible insight as to what happens after death. Verse 23 and 24 reads 23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom 24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame Verse 23 makes us know the rich man was in torment. And verse 24 makes us know how he was been tormented - flames. Now, is there any other literal way to show that hell is real? 2 Likes 1 Share |

Hell is real. You cannot disbelieve the existence of hell while still considering yourself as a christian, no. Jesus spoke more of hell than he did of heaven. To deny hell is to call Jesus a liar. |

@op, Hell is nothing more than "a fictional place created in the minds of frustrated lunatics"!!! 1.Which of the christian Hells is the real hell? Is it the Catholic Hell where majority Anglicans will go to, or the Anglican Hell where majority Catholics will go to? 2.When the Egyptians said that Hell is inhabited by a half-hippo, half-crocodile, why did christians reject this particular version of Hell? Why does the hell of the Egyptians contain the most frightening animals that lived in the river Nile(crocodile and hippo)? 3.The Sumerian Hell has 7 judges, but the bible never mentioned anything about 7 judges in Hell, how come? 4.The Greek Hell(Tartarus), has only giants kept there!!! I am not a giant and I am sure that you are also not a giant, so how come it is only Shaquille O'Neill and Kobe Bryant that are eligible for the Greek Hell? 5.According to the Finnish Hell(from Finland), all good and bad people will end up in the same place!!! They will all end up as shadow-like ghosts!!! 6.Do you know that the Serer Religion does not even have a concept of Hell? 7.In some religions, you need a ferryman(canoe master), to get to hell...............................Why don't all religions talk of this canoe master? 8.In some religions, the ferryman is male, in others, the ferryman is female(as in "ferrywoman/canoe mistress" ![]() 9.The Aztec Hell has 9 levels, but the Chinese one has between 3 to 18 levels..........................................how come? 10.According to the Eskimo's, Hell(the Underworld), is a place for the purification of the soul.......................................like Nigerian Breweries!!! Do you as a christian accept the fact that Satan will purify souls in Hell? 1 Like |

ifenes:I am dissapointment in you artist but I pray Jesus shud cum quickly. Jesus has been cumming for more than 2017 years now. Am weary in heart, can't wait for too long again. It pricks me inter-anally and I bleed when the artists like you draw bad picture of Jesus in a bad light and paint him bad. They sperm nairaland with different negative speaking and they cum shot of the glory of God. They have said Jesus will continue cumming forever but I kno when he finally cums, his cumming will be hot on them. Artists who say their is no God, repaint becos the condomn of God is at hand. |
