I have a lot of time to
read the Word of God, and study some things out, so I can understand what the
Bible is actually saying to us. I ran crossed some video’s a couple weeks ago,
and one in particular was on Hell. These jokers took a lot of scripture, and
twisted it just far enough, that I almost believed it. Actually, I started to
take it as truth, but my Spirit couldn’t allow me, simply to let it go that
easily.
What they were saying is
that Hell will not burn forever. They had taken scripture that talked about
ashes, and said there was a limit to the fires of Hell. All my life I have
heard preachers, preach on the fires of Hell. Ok. Thirty years ago they would
preach quite often on Hell, and much more often before that time. I just took
it on a grain of salt, that they were right, because it came straight from the
Word.
These folks that did this
video even stressed, that was the way, which it has been preached forever.
They
also made a point, that because of this preaching; the subject of Hell has
driven off people, from coming to God. They said that a lot of people have
said; if the same God, that made Heaven and Hell, then that, was messed up. They
also said that they would take their changes, by avoiding God. One other thing,
they said for sure, that the teaching on Hell have always been taught wrong.
Well, I know that one
verse doesn’t settle many issues, because we must keep things, in the context
of the subject matter. However, I found one verse spoken by Jesus, and went
back to the original translation, in the Greek language. I have been telling
y’all, that I have some great Bible software, but I want mostly to keep it
simple, so I rarely use them. Today will be a little bit different. However, I
don’t plan to get boring or complicated with my effort.
Matthew 18:8 Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee,
cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or
maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting
fire.
Jesus is speaking of Hell
in this verse. I would dare say that He is an authority, for two distinct reasons.
(1) He was there when Hell was made for
Satan, and the fallen angels. (2) He paid Hell a visit in our place. For those
that are hating right now, verse nine ends with Hell fire. There is no way to
twist, these verses to mean something, other than what they do mean. These
might seem extreme, but that is how bad that Hell really is!!
The word that we are going
to be looking at is everlasting. The word everlasting is defined by the
Webster’s Dictionary of 1828; EVERL`ASTING, a. [ever and lasting.] Lasting or enduring for ever; eternal; existing or continuing without
end; immortal.
That should settle this
right here. However let’s look at the Greek word for everlasting. The word is
Aionios. {Ahee-o’-nee-os} I am sorry I have never accessed my Greek writing
program, so I can’t actually show the word, in the Greek language. The number of
the word is 166. (1) That without
beginning or end, that which has always been, and will always be. (2) Without beginning
(3) Without end, never to cease, everlasting.
As for the people, that
this video must be aimed at relieving, of the existence, of a real hell. Might
I submit, a verse for your delightful pleasure, because nothing has changed
since creation? Man still wants to have their own way, and certainly, not the
way, of the creator. It is called rebellion, and it’s the same sin that cause
Hell to be created to begin with!!
Luke 16:24 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.
You can probably tell by
my seemingly, uncaring attitude, and nonchalant, in your face way, that I am
writing these words, that dodging the fires of Hell, are not even, a concern to
me. You are right then, but they don’t have to be a concern, for anybody else
either. All it takes is having a relationship, with Jesus Christ to avoid, all
this madness.
I don’t really understand
the concept of the glorified body. However, I do understand that we are all
going to receive one. Those that make Heaven their home and, those that blindly
choose to make Hell your home. That is the way your body will not be consumed
by the fire, and not literally choked, and receiving death as a reward. There
will be worms feast on your flesh for all eternity, and once you are there in
Hell, that will be no exit stage left!!
These are the choices,
which every human being faces, in their life. It is not about what school that
you go to, or what career, that you choose. It’s not about the home, that you
will own, or the neighborhood, that it’s located in. We all have only one
important choice to make in our time here on the earth. If we don’t get that
one right, then everything else is going up in flames any way.
It has been my duty, as a
Christian to warn you, of the existence, of the real Hell, that is growing
larger every day. I will even go as far as to plead with you, to make the right
choice. After that, though the matter rest in your hands, and your blood, has
been cleansed from mine.
Mark 9:43-44 And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is
better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into
hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: 44 Where their worm
dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
Isaiah 5:14 Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened
her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their
pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.
Isaiah 14:9 Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet
thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all
the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings
of the nations.
Revelation 20:14-15 And death and hell were cast into the lake
of fire. This is the second death. 15 And whosoever
was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Does this really
sound like there will be an end to Hell?
Ain’t God Great?
….Much Love
