Blogger Supposes There Is No Hell

By LaVrai, 2 April, 2008, No Comment

I came across a blog tonight that really disturbed me — it was another example of people distorting the Gospel because they want to believe what they want to believe and not the words spoken by GOD. This blogger supposes that hell isn’t real, that GOD wouldn’t send people to hell if it were real, that eve if people chose to go to hell, GOD would prevent them, etc. The blogger supposes GOD is in nature, like you can find GOD in nature, and that one of another religion can find Jesus, as in you can find Jesus in another religion.

Why do people like to insist that hell isn’t real and/or isn’t a place of suffering? Why do people want to claim to know about GOD and what HE would do or wouldn’t do or is like and isn’t like — WITHOUT EVER HAVING READ THE HOLY BIBLE FULLY? How dare you speak for GOD from such a place of ignorance? If you want to know who GOD Almighty is, read about HIM in the Book HE has written HIMSELF. Stop trying to make or mold your idea or version of god –so doing you deny the true living GOD.

As for the suffering called hell, the Holy Bible doesn’t mince words that some people will have eternal life in Paradise and that others will suffer eternal damnation, which sounds really terrible when Jesus the Christ says ‘there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ Read some excerpts here.

Jesus said the most important of the 10 commandments was to love — Matthew 22:34-38Matthew 22:34-38
English: King James Version (1611) - KJV
34 But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together. ³⁵ Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, ³⁶ Master, which is the great commandment in the law? ³⁷ Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. ³⁸ This is the first and great commandment.

Then one of them, a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him, and saying, “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?” Jesus said to him, “ ‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment.”

The LORD said it was “the first and great,” not the only commandment. When someone says ‘first,’ there’s usually a second… Why do folks like to stop at love…the verse about loving your neighbor as yourself, like love equals salvation? I love my mother dearly, treat strangers with compassion — but do you think that gets me a pass into heaven? There are other important principles GOD gave for living an acceptable life before HIM and HE knows that when you first learn to love without restrictions (imagine loving a GOD you cannot see, hear or touch in the traditional sense), abiding by the other commandments may be easier (and you can’t love your GOD and other people, if you don’t first love yourself).

And Jesus the Christ said so many times in the Gospels that the only way to attain salvation was to believe on HIM. If you can’t or don’t believe that Jesus the Christ was the Son Of GOD and shares the same Spirit with His FATHER, then He too will deny you before the FATHER who is in heaven.

And one of the questions this blogger posed concerns those who have never heard the Gospel and who die in the dark — what’s their eternal fate? It is written “I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion,” as GOD said to Moses. Also consider what GOD told the youth Jeremiah when HE called him to be HIS prophet, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.” (Jeremiah 1:4-6Jeremiah 1:4-6
English: King James Version (1611) - KJV
4 Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, ⁵ Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. ordained: Heb. gave ⁶ Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child.

It seems quite possible that GOD has already numbered HIS people, some already are, and some soon will be.

In John 17, we read Jesus’ prayer before being seized by the state. He prays first for Himself, saying ‘FATHER, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify YOU.”

He then prays for his disciples whom GOD had given Him saying, ‘They were Yours, You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word.”

He then goes on to say, ‘I pray for them. I do not pray for the world, but for those whom You have given Me, for they are Yours.’

And finally, Jesus prays for His future believers saying, ‘I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their (the disciples) word: that they all may be one…”

What I am saying with all of this is that GOD already knows who believes HIM and who denies HIM. If someone dies without having heard the Gospel, I can’t imagine the LORD does not know about it (but remember, Jesus promised that He would not return again until every nation in every corner of the world had heard the Good News).

There is no middle ground with the LORD’s Word. You either accept it as it is or you deny it…and when you start making exceptions or ignoring certain parts of the requirements for salvation, you have denied HIS Word already.

You should read about the ‘lukewarm’ church Jesus the Christ describes in Revelation (there is no middle road)… you’ll see what kind of followers He finds acceptable and those who need to work out their salvation.

As for finding GOD in nature or Jesus in other religions… when you look at others and all that is around you, it is GOD’s creation you see (the hand of GOD) — not GOD HIMSELF; GOD is not a tree, the birds or the sky — that would be idolatry. There is only one Jesus the Christ, so if a religion is talking about Jesus the Son of GOD born into the world of a virgin named Mary, who died, came back to life, ascended to heaven and will one day return to claim His Church — then yeah, they’re talking about the same Jesus that told Peter to build his church called Christianity. If one of another religion denies any of these things, then I am afraid they are speaking of another Jesus whom they simply do not know.

It’s a rough road to hoe, but you can’t make concessions. Jesus didn’t, so follow Him all the way or not at all (read what it says about the unrepentant backslider). If you want to know the Truth and how to know GOD and how to be acceptable in HIS sight, just read the Holy Bible.

Peace.
