Please read earlier installments before continuing with present one.

Let's do a brief recap on 'HELL':

The first definition of the word 'HELL' meant to conceal, as in a cool place. Potatoes for example, were said to be sent to 'hell' to keep cool.
There is no documentation of God ever having created a place with eternal fire which is called 'HELL' to which any being is damned forever because of disobedience.
'HELL' in most bible versions was incorrectly translated from words in the original Hebrew and Greek manuscripts.

SHEOL	A Hebrew word found in the O.T. that SPECIFICALLY means 'the grave'; the place to which one goes at death. The K.JV. has 'HELL' 31 times in O.T. translated from SHEOL; yet they translated the word 'grave' from the same Hebrew word a good few times, proving translation inconsistency.
GEHENNA	It is of Hebrew origin meaning 'valley of Hinnom' where child sacrifice by fire was practiced. K.J.V. INCORRECTLY, translated 'HELL' 12 times from this word in the N.T..

HADES	A Greek word SPECIFICALLY meaning 'the unseen'; The place where one goes at death which is in the ground. Hades is the Greek word for the Hebrew word Sheol. K.J.V. INCORRECTLY translated 'HELL' from the word Hades, 10 times in the N.T!
TARTAROO	A Greek Mythological word meaning 'the deepest part of HADES, the unseen'. K.J.V. INCORRECTLY translated 'HELL' from this word found but only 1 time in the N.T!

Not one of the Hebrew and Greek words which are all translated as 'HELL,' has in its definition a place with ETERNAL FIRE!

THIS SHOULD REST MY CASE THAT 'HELL' IS A FABLE AND IS HERESY!!

But yet, how many will say that I speak heresy?! Well, here's my answer:

Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Isa 5:20 K.J.V.

It is documented in the bible that God at certain times wiped out (killed) people who were disobedient, but this is never to be assumed that God automatically damned them to a place called 'hell'!
Take the city of Sodom and Gomorrah. God destroyed it for there was GROSS DARKNESS (SIN) in it. However, Jesus says that if the people of Sodom and Gomorrah heard the gospel, they would have believed and the city would still stand until this very day! So how is it that God is 'RIGHTEOUS' and 'NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS' in damning them to 'HELL' not having heard the GOSPEL which would've saved them had they heard it?!

And you, Capernaum! Not to heaven shall you be exalted! To the unseen (Hades) shall you subside, for, if the powerful deeds (miracles) which are occurring in you had occurred in Sodom, it might remain unto today. Mat 11:23 (C.L.V.)

Not only did Jesus die for them, but for the WHOLE WORLD!
I'm sure that you will agree that every person that ever lived and is alive today, received an undeserved favour from God and man without believing at that time that they would, right? Billions of people are in the end going to find out that Jesus REALLY died and rose from the dead for ALL of them to be permanently washed clean from their sin! They will know that they are undeserving of it and this will be the reason for their DEEP gratitude unto the Lamb whom they will GREATLY worship!

That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; (Sheol, Hades, the grave)

And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Phi 2:10-11 K.J.V.

Every soul will be humbled and confess that Jesus is Lord to the Glory of God the Father! This will take place after God has brought about perfect conviction to bring about perfect repentance!

TRUE EVANGELISM:

What to preach to the unsaved now that 'HELL' is no threat anymore!
And that's exactly what 'the church' has being doing for the longest time! They have gone into the world threatening people as well as persuading them by stirring up and capitalizing on their emotions preaching that they are destined to a burning 'HELL' for all eternity should they not accept Jesus as their Lord and Saviour!

What then tragically occurs, is that these people then make the choice to become 'saved' in fear of not wanting to go to 'HELL' and also by their emotions thinking that it's inspired by the Holy Spirit! Now I have already proven by scripture that to please God, one must come to Him by faith and not 'fear' (of hell fire) and that God alone by His Spirit, DRAWS a soul to Him. Which means that the church, are not to 'threaten' people and use 'persuasive' means to get them saved! The simple truth which is to be preached is that Jesus by fulfillment of prophecy; was born of a virgin; suffered reproach; was crucified; died for ALL the sins of every human born and yet to be born; rose on the third day indicating our glorious future in absolute righteousness; ascended into heaven to appear before his Father as per fulfillment of the scripture in Isa 55:11; and poured out the promised Holy Spirit to convict the world of sin and to bring into manifestation the Sons of God. The Sons of God are the very KINGDOM OF GOD!! That's it, as simple as that! God is the One who then 'DRAWS' those who have been PREDESTINED, to his Son. They are the ones who will believe on our 'simple yet accurate' report of GOD'S LOVE FOR ALL OF HUMANITY.

Then, one very important truth which must accompany the preaching of the Good News, is that the wicked who continue in their sin and reject Jesus, are kept for God's judgment which he will execute upon them. Their punishment will be the harvest of their sins which they have sown throughout their whole life!

However, we as the true sons of God, are to know that our God is in the PURIFYING OF SOULS business and NOT in the damning them to hell business! Why? BECAUSE GOD IS LOVE!! Now how is it that 'the church' does not know that:

LOVE'S PASSION IS TO PERMANENTLY REMOVE SIN?

LOVE BREAKS UP THEN BUILDS UP?

LOVE RESTORES?

LOVE CORRECTS, EVEN THOUGH IT'S ACCOMPANIED WITH THE FIRE OF CHASTISEMENT?

LOVE NEVER CONDEMNS OR DAMNS ANYONE TO ETERNAL PAIN AND HORROR?

FOR MANY ARE CALLED, BUT FEW CHOSEN.

Mat 22:14 K.J.V

A sadly misunderstood verse indeed! The many is the whole world, not only the ones who got saved and then permanently backslid. The few is the TRUE SONS OF GOD, THE BRIDE OF CHRIST! This tiny word 'few' is not to be missed! The church cannot think that they can go into all the world and get 'MANY' saved for God! It is ONLY GOD who saves souls, no one else and Jesus has already affirmed that FEW are chosen. So according to Jesus' affirmation, it cannot be that 'many' will be saved! Jesus does NOT lie! Do I believe in a GREAT HARVEST OF SOULS? Absolutely yes! The second resurrection of the dead is that 'VERY' GREAT HARVEST! Jesus died for ALL their sins too and they shall be saved, billions of them!

Do you remember God having instituted the first-fruits offering and the tithe in the O.T? Still think it's got to do with 'money' and that it's relevant for today's believers? I will in the near future do an installment on THE TRUTH ABOUT THE TITHE

You see, Israel has not quite understood the 'spiritual' meaning of these offerings. This is because the SPIRITUAL UNDERSTANDING of it was not 'opened up' to them, only to the True Body of Christ! But sadly, 'the church' at large has not received the understanding of it either!
Jesus is the first-fruits and the tithe of the 'selected believers' who are also the first-fruits and the tithe of ALL humanity who will eventually also come into the Kingdom! We together with Christ our Groom, are the forerunners of the entire human race into Glory! We who are ONE with Christ by covenant (Divine Marriage), are a prophetic vision for the destiny of the rest of humanity. Just as our lives are 'hid' in Christ, so are their lives 'hid' in our redemption and glory with Christ in God!

where the forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus, having become a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek. Heb 6:20 M.K.J.V.

Forerunner

FORERUN'NER

A prognostic (Foreshowing; indicating something future by signs or symptoms;);
a sign foreshowing something to follow. Websters dictionary.

Sometimes we read or say words without really perceiving the true meaning of them. It's something which God had brought to my attention a very long time ago. You see, we can't be forerunners of the rest of humanity if they are all destined for 'HELL!' They too will come into the 'fold' with their undeserving selves just as we were, and still are! Praise God!

There is one 'stubborn' sin which 'the church' desperately needs to get rid of and it is the sin of SELF RIGHTEOUSNESS! The church declares that their sins have been washed clean by the blood of Jesus and therefore are 'the selected' who are destined for heaven while ALL the others are damned to hell! But here is a fact and a truth: 'The church' still continues to sin, especially the secret sins of the heart! So how is it that they are so quick to DAMN others to hell when they should actually be first in line? It's a classic case of the church having to receive the 'most stripes' for they know the truth and yet still continue to NOT do the will of God!

Not everyone who says to Me, Lord! Lord! shall enter the kingdom of Heaven, (Here Jesus is referring to the First Resurrection and is addressing those of 'the church' who thinks that they will be part of the 'catching away' into the Kingdom!) but he who does the will of My Father in Heaven.

Many will say to Me in that day, Lord! Lord! Did we not prophesy in Your name, and through Your name throw out demons, and through Your name do many wonderful works?

And then I will say to them I never knew you! Depart from Me, those working lawlessness! Mat 7:23 M.K.J.V.

It should come as no surprise that God says that 'judgment must begin from his house!'

As a very young child I always sensed that their was this 'something' that was 'drawing' me into perceiving that there was a life that is much higher and deeper than the life I was conscious of around me at the time. Believe me, I lived a sinful life, but through it all, this 'something' in a sense 'haunted' me and I knew that some day I would finally embrace it! My friends thought of me as 'weired' because I would be sinning with them at one time and at another, stand up for what was right including debating that God does exist when they blatantly disagreed. When the appointed time came, I gave up ALL to become my Lord Kings' bond-servant. But get ready for this; even after I received Jesus, there were times when I sinned! And sin is still knocking at my door, but I continue to relentlessly fight the good fight! I gave this testimony to prove God's Word is true when it says that God himself 'draws' a soul to Jesus. And very importantly, God NEVER EVER warned me of 'HELL FIRE' if I did not respond to his call! This is the reason why NOBODY EVER will convince me that there is a 'HELL!' I will say it again and again;

IT IS HERESY TO PREACH OF HELL AS AN EXISTING PLACE!!

God will judge all who ties themselves to this false teaching! I am aware of some who have claimed to have visions and dreams of 'HELL' and documented it. However, consider this: Do you believe that ALL the dreams you have had are true? I am careful to ask the same of all the visions you have had, but please consider God's Word when it says:

for as he thinks in his heart, so is he... Pro 23:7a M.K.J.V.

And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie,

so that all those who do not believe the truth, but delight in unrighteousness, might be condemned. (NOT TO HELL! They will be judged accordingly.) 2Th 2:11-12 M.K.J.V.

When you believe on anything that's true to you, you will inevitably have visions and dreams about it. You see, there is a close similarity between the psyche realm and the spirit realm, and this is how and where one can very easily be tricked by the enemy! The 'sly one' will use the 'false knowledge' in your psyche (mind) and give you false revelations, visions and dreams that you then will believe and thereby fulfilling God's Word in 2Th 2:11-12!

1Co 8:1-3 M.K.J.V. But concerning the sacrifices to idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love edifies.
And if any man thinks that he knows anything, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know.
But if any one loves God, he has been known of him.

There you have it: Knowledge puffs up, but Love edifies! Now please tell me where and how is it that LOVE is found in ETERNAL HELL FIRE?!

and to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge... Eph 3:19a M.K.J.V.

And how is it that God having damned billions of people (even if it's just one soul), to 'HELL' is a LOVE that passes my knowledge?! IT CERTAINLY DOES NOT!! A Love which would and does pass my knowledge, is God having FORGIVEN THE OH SO UNFORGIVABLE AND LOVE THE UNLOVABLE!! That would be murderers, rapists, etc who all will have their part (allotment, portion, not forever) in the lake of fire which is Christ himself! Don't forget:

For He said to Moses, "I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion." Rom 9:15 M.K.J.V.

Who are we, mere fallible human beings, to argue against the MERCY of God to SAVE ALL in the end?!

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but try the spirits to see if they are of God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 1Jo 4:1M.K.J.V.

Just because you open your bible and see the word 'hell' does NOT mean that it exists! I URGE YOU TO PLEASE RESEARCH IT WELL FOR YOURSELF! Translators aren't infallible, they too can make mistakes. I only wish they had the humility to own up to it! We have the GOD GIVEN RIGHT to test the spirits, but alas! How many tragically do not exercise it? DO YOU?...
You must understand that if you have not been in the habit of doing so, you are in danger of inevitably preaching false doctrines! It's therefore imperative for you to do a 'FAITH CHECK!'

DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE THAT OUR LOVING, MERCIFUL, MIGHTY TO SAVE GOD ( Which we sing aloud in church!), HAS PREDESTINED BILLIONS OF PEOPLE TO HELL?! (Predestined because God knew the future before he started creating. He therefore knew that 'billions' would reject his Son before creating them all! Please, tell me that you're seeing this!!)

SHOULD YOU 'REALLY' BELIEVE THAT GOD WOULD SEND BILLIONS OF PEOPLE TO HELL, CAN YOU HONESTLY TELL ME, OR MORE SO, YOURSELF, THAT IT WILL BE POSSIBLE FOR YOU TO CONTINUE TO SING OF 'GOD'S LOVE, PASSING YOUR UNDERSTANDING' AND OF HIM BEING 'MIGHTY TO SAVE' AND IS 'THE SAVIOUR OF ALL MANKIND' JUST AS THE BIBLE DOCUMENTS?!

HAS THE HOLY SPIRIT EVER GIVEN YOU A SONG OF PRAISE AND WORSHIP WITH THE LYRICS:

“COME TO JESUS, OR YOU SHALL SURELY BE IN DANGER OF HELL FIRE, FOREVER DAMNED AND CUT OFF FROM GOD?!”

Here's my answer:

NO!!

And why? Because he is the

SPIRIT OF TRUTH!!

Here is the simple truth:
The saints of old; all who died believing on Christ and all alive today believing on Him also, inevitably went through trials of fire. This fire I believe is the 'Lake of Fire' which is Jesus Christ 'the Purifier'. I am sure that you will agree that this process is a painful experience, yet vitally necessary for our spiritual growth.

Might I add at this point that a while ago, I asked God to baptize me with FIRE. It was only a while later that he revealed to me that this FIRE is Jesus, The Lake of Fire! When I understood this, I then begged the Lord to cast me into the Lake of Fire! I'm tempted to say “and all HELL broke loose!” That just shows how indoctrinated we are! Until we find out the TRUTH for ourselves by God's TRUE WORD and Holy Spirit! None the less, I was bombarded with trials of fire and I can honestly tell you that it was only our loving God who embraced me through them all! Else I would've gone completely insane for sure! I must say though, asking God what I shared with you, was the best thing that I could've done and I am asking Him to continue until he sees fit...

Continuing:

(Please understand that the following WILL NOT happen as we understand it in our finite knowledge! The book of Revelation is of absolute spiritual nature! Like John, we are limited to what we know in this earthy realm and that which God reveals to us by His Spirit.)

Running up to the FIRST RESURRECTION, the TRUE SONS OF GOD will move in GREAT POWER and be very instrumental in the resurrection of the 'dead in Christ' before we together with them, 'meet the Lord in the air' as it is documented. The rest of humanity who are alive, are 'left behind' reserved for God's wrath/punishment as is detailed in Revelation. After God's wrath is exhausted upon the rebellious, satan is locked up for 1000 years and Christ and His Bride rules for the same period of time. Satan is then loosed and then begins the Great Battle, Gog and Magog. It will then be time for the SECOND RESURRECTION in which everyone, except the Bride of Christ, will in contempt/shame, be raised from the dead (sleep in Sheol, Hades). They will be judged by their works, good or bad, which will be as 'filthy rags' in the sight of God. Their names are not found in 'The Lamb's Book Of Life.' (this simply means that they did not believe on Christ. There is no REAL book!); They are then thrown into the 'Lake of Fire' which is Into Jesus and His Cup of Suffering, to purify and purge them in a similar fashion as God's elected sons were, only MUCH MORE EXCRUCIATING! God the consuming fire, sanctified in his Son, will incinerate their sins but save and purify their souls. The new heaven and the new earth which will also come out of Jesus, will be inhabited by these that came through the purifying fire. They are the nations spoken of in Revelation that will be loved and ruled by Christ and His Bride, the Holy City, New Jerusalem, forever!

BLESSED BE JESUS, THE SAVIOUR OF ALL MANKIND

AND THE ONE WHO MAKES ALL THINGS NEW!!

Conclusion:

It is of paramount importance that the bible, especially the book of Revelation, is NOT to be taken LITERALLY! God is Spirit and therefore the words on paper SHOULD NOT be LITERALLY PERCEIVED! This is what has brought about so many carnal and false teachings which up till this very day is still accepted! All the documented words in the bible are to be SPIRITUALLY PERCEIVED! Don't forget the MEGA-CORNERSTONE SCRIPTURE in John 6:63!

What John saw in the SPIRIT REALM was OBVIOUSLY NOT OF THIS WORLD! To BEST describe what he saw, he had to use metaphors, similes, figure of speech etc. We are therefore to be EXTREMELY CAREFUL of taking what we read in Revelation LITERALLY!! We should practice sensitivity to the Holy Spirit's leadership to help guide us through this 'revelation' as it were, of Jesus given to John.

Indeed the things that are documented in Revelation, are to happen. But exactly how it will be accomplished, we do not know, unless it is revealed to us by God.
Ultimately, every God-given revelation, has it's roots in the very CHARACTER of God. The apostle John boldly declares in his letters that GOD IS LOVE. Three short words, but oh, the bottomless depth of it, no human mind can fathom! Which is exactly why we need to be cautious of quickly wanting to 'affirm' God's 'righteous judgment' of damning billions of souls to 'HELL' for ALL of eternity, a place in which the hottest fire unknown to man, burns eternally!

Have you perhaps considered that God is RESPONSIBLE for his sin-bound creation?! We in turn, are held ACCOUNTABLE for our actions especially for having known the TRUTH!

God HAS taken FULL RESPONSIBILITY for his creation! From the foundation of the world, God had his LAMB SLAIN for the ultimate atonement of ALL humanity's sins! How is it that we think of God to be so unmerciful and twisted, to create 'man,' deliberately give him a fragile heart knowing that man would succumb to sin and then NOT have a REDEMPTION plan for ALL of them but rather has a HORRIBLE place called 'HELL' to which he will damn BILLIONS to, FOREVER?

Do you still think that Adam and Eve were created perfect without sin? Where is the proof? I suggest that you read Genesis again and see whether it is written that God created 'man' perfect in spirit, soul and body, WITHOUT SIN. There is but only ONE MAN who was born without sin and his wonderful name is Jesus Christ, Hallelujah! Still finding it hard to believe? Ever meditated on the documented truth that Eve SINNED IN HER HEART BEFORE actually taking that bite? Remember; But I say to you that whoever looks on a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. Mat 5:28 M.K.J.V.

And seeing is the woman (looks) that the tree is good for food, and that it brings a yearning to the eyes, (looks) and is to be coveted (to lust after) as the tree to make one intelligent. (in her heart) (This all happens BEFORE she eats of the fruit) > And taking is she of its fruit and is eating... Gen 3:6 C.L.V.

The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it? Jer 17:9 M.K.J.V.

Do you recollect the story of Joseph and his brothers? In this amazing historical event of their lives, lies a revelation of the salvation of the entire human race! Because of its volume, I will only be able to expound it in a live setting should I be invited to do so. However, let me leave you with this: The Egyptians, the surrounding nations and Joseph's brothers and father, had 'access' to the 'grain' which was stored all because of God's Wisdom imparted to Joseph. The grain spiritually signifies God's Word (1Peter 1:23) which is Mighty to Save ALL in the end!

Then there's Nebuchadnezzar. Have you read what happened to him in his 'last days?' Read Daniel 4. It's a PERFECT example of how the wicked will ALL be humbled in the end and call upon the Lord to be SAVED!
Each and every soul will by God's AWESOME GRACE, be saved by the LIVING WORD of GOD, JESUS CHRIST!
From the very beginning, God has in his HEART, beautifully and graciously orchestrated the PERFECT PLAN of REDEMPTION for ALL OF HUMANITY!!

This divine plan is:

JESUS, THE SAVIOUR OF ALL HUMANKIND!!

It is my sincere hope that you have found my installments on 'HELL EXPOSED' informative, and that it stirred up a desire in you to do a thorough research on it. This kind of teaching is considered by many to be 'heresy'. However, I believe that I have produced substantial evidence which proves that what we commonly hear being preached on 'hell,' is heresy! There will be more topics which I intend covering and you are welcome to visit again. Should you desire to use my material to share with others, I only ask that you please not alter it in any way, and that you kindly include my name along with my email and blog addresses. Thank you for keeping your comments 'in good faith.'
Enjoy God's blessings within and upon you!

Meditate on this documented truth:

“[God] Who WILLS [as if anyone can change His WILL!] that ALL MANKIND BE SAVED, and to come into a realization of the truth. [Jesus is the TRUTH]” (Concordant Literal Version. I Tim. 2:4).

And he [Christ Jesus] is the PROPITIATION [atonement] FOR OUR SINS: and not for ours only, BUT ALSO FOR THE WHOLE WORLD. (1Jo.2:2 KJV )

Got this while surfing the net right after finishing 'Hell Exposed:'

I was both astounded and encouraged (to say the least), how God revealed the very same TRUTH to others!

TOP TEN REASONS TO RECONSIDER
YOUR BELIEF IN AN ETERNAL HELL:

10. No mention of this doctrine can be found anywhere in the first five books of the Old Testament, or the Torah, the Law of Moses. In Deuteronomy 28, for example, the nation of Israel is given a list of warnings and curses in the event of their disobedience, yet not one of them involves this notion of eternal punishment in hell. If it were true, don’t you think God should have warned them? (see Amos 3:7)
9. Likewise, God commissioned the apostle Paul to deliver the gospel (good news) to the Gentile nations, but Paul never once mentioned this concept of “hell” anywhere in his epistles. Question: If it was Paul’s responsibility to warn the Gentile nations of this dread prospect, then why didn’t he? [1]
8. Several noted historians and scholars have testified [2] that the whole thing was contrived as an attempt to discourage criminal activity among the masses. Take a good honest look around you. Does it appear to be working?
7. Smith’s Bible Dictionary tells us (page 119) that the word “hell” was unfortunately used by the (KJV) translators to represent the Hebrew word Sheol [3], which is found in the Old Testament a total of 65 times, and would have been better represented exclusively by “the grave” or “the pit.” For whatever reason, this word is rendered by the English word “grave” a total of 31 times, by the word “hell” a total of 31 times, and by the word “pit” a total of 3 times. Why do you suppose all of the inconsistencies?
6. Words like “hell” and “damn” have completely different meanings today than they once had. Anyone with a good dictionary can find that this is true. Look up the word “hell” in your dictionary and you will soon learn that this word was derived from the Old English/Old High German word helan, which means to conceal. Likewise, the word “damn” came from the Latin word damnare, or damnum, and was strictly a legal term meaning a loss, damage, or fine. Nothing even remotely resembling eternal punishment in fire is associated with these words in their original sense.

NOTE: An excellent example of how a word can quickly take on new meaning can be seen with the word “gay,” which formerly meant (exclusively) to “be happy, or merry.” It has only been within the past 30 years or so that this word has become associated with homosexuals and homosexual activity. Do you see how someone today could easily be mislead while reading a pre-1970’s book containing a statement about a man being gay?

5. The Greek word “apoleia,” which has been rendered several times by the English word “destruction” (Example: “broad is the way that leads to destruction – Matthew 7:13), in its original sense meant “to suffer loss, or ruin” and never implied eternal damnation. Quite to the contrary, for example, I Corinthians 3:15: “If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss, but he himself shall be saved!” [Please note that this idea of “loss” is consistent with the (original) Latin word damnare/damnum]
4. The Hebrew word “olam,” as well as the Greek word “aion,” once spoke exclusively of an indeterminate period of time, or an eon (age). Just as in the case of our previous example with the word “gay,” as time went by, these words also began to take on new meanings; in this case, the concept of endlessness, or eternity. Hence, the concept of “age-abiding” punishment (for the purpose of correction) was changed to mean “everlasting” punishment (without remedy). And this was done (admittedly!) as an attempt to keep the masses in fearful subjection to authority [2].

NOTE: By exerting a little study time in the Scriptures, it can easily be proven that the Hebrew word olam, as well as the Greek word aion, cannot represent the concept of endlessness, or God’s written word contradicts itself. [Be sure to read Five Questions Your Fundamentalist Pastor Will Not Be Able To Answer]

3. According to orthodox Christianity, the “lake of fire” is supposed to be the final abode of the wicked where there will be an eternity (without remedy) of weeping and gnashing of teeth. In Revelation 21:4, however, we are clearly told that “God shall wipe away ALL tears from their eyes!” Likewise, in Revelation 20:14 this lake of fire is also referred to as the “second death.” But once again, God’s precious word refutes the finality of this death: “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) The apostle Paul also testifies of this truth: “The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.” (I Corinthians 15:26) Whom will you choose to believe: God’s precious Word, or the misleading doctrines that are prevalent within orthodox Christianity? [Choose this day whom you will serve – Joshua 24:15]
2. God’s stated will for humanity is clear: “For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, WHO WILL HAVE ALL MEN TO BE SAVED, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.” (I Timothy 2:3,4) God also tells us that He is working all things according to the counsel of His will.” (Ephesians 1:11) And the prophet Isaiah makes it perfectly clear that [God’s] counsel shall stand, and [He] will do (or perform) ALL [His] pleasure! (Isaiah 46:10) Once again, whom are you going to believe?
And the number one reason to reconsider your belief in an eternal hell:
1.a) GOD IS LOVE! (I John 4:8) Like any good parent who loves their children, discipline is always for the purpose of correction. If your children got out of line, would you lock them up in your basement and torture them unmercifully for sadistic reasons? Of course not! Those who teach that our loving heavenly Father will do so do not know the heart of God. [4] Likewise, it would be the height of hypocrisy for God to command us to love and to forgive our enemies, while at the same time unmercifully torturing His enemies for all eternity.
1.b) LOVE NEVER FAILS! (I Corinthians 13:8) If just one precious soul were to perish apart from the love of God, then that would mean that either a) God doesn’t love that individual, or b) that somehow God’s love has failed in that particular instance. And I can assure you that it is a tragic error to believe that the Love of God will fail! For God IS Love, and Love NEVER fails!

AMEN AND AMEN!!

HALLELUJAH!!

THE TRUTH ABOUT THE TITHE:

HELL EXPOSED Part 4

HELL EXPOSED!

Part 4:

BY: HADLEY G LAYMAN

hadley.layman@gmail.com

www.fathersheartbeat.blogspot.com

Please read earlier installments before continuing with present one.

Let's start with another set of 'corner-stone' scriptures:

But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God. Rom 2:29 K.J.V.

But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter. Rom 7:6 K.J.V.

Does this mean that we should do away with the bible containing these letters? Off course not! For it is the letter which points us to the One who is the Author and finisher of our Faith. However, the 'great danger' is to have the letter replace that which God by His Son has accomplished - the ministry of the Holy Spirit.

Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. 2Co 3:6 K.J.V.

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. Rom 8:14 K.J.V.

It is the Spirit of the Living God who brings 'true' conviction. This is my 'sole' reason why I will not confer with any person about the TRUTH concerning 'hell' being a none existing place!

To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood: Gal 1:16 K.J.V.

Nowhere in the entire volume of the Holy Scriptures is it documented that God has created 'hell' and damned anyone to it forever. This HERESY has its roots in religion, the occult and esp. in Greek mythology. Since the New Testament is written in Greek, one must never assume that our 'arch-enemy' wouldn't take advantage of it and slip in some of that occult! It would do you good to do a thorough research on this occult and I will guarantee you that you will discover facts like; A god called 'hades' who is said to be the ruler of a place called tartarus/tartaroo - words having translated to hell!

The whole concept of this occult is that there is a judging that takes place after people die and if they have not met the 'specific requirements,' they are then damned to a 'hell' with the hottest fire and ruled by this god called 'hades' forever! Are you seeing this? Both hades and Tartaroo is found in the Greek manuscripts! The first thing that comes to mind, is the tree with the fruit of both good and evil. You cannot mix TRUTH with falsehood! That's when one ends up with religion which God utterly HATES!

We are to:

Draw near (submit) to God, and He will draw near to you... Jam 4:8 M.K.J.V.

Likewise, younger ones, be subject to older ones, and all being subject to one another. Put on humility. For God resists proud ones, but He gives grace to the humble.

Therefore be humbled (submit) under the mighty hand of God, so that He may exalt you in due time, 1Pe 5:5-6 M.K.J.V.

It is only when we submit to God that TRUTH will be revealed to us. But how many has submitted to both man-made biblical theology and God; thereby given birth to religion! God is in this crucial hour going to expose and dispose ALL that's not of Him and the TRUE SONS OF GOD will stand and hold in their hand the pure and holy Word of Truth. They will open their mouths and in Power releasing the Flaming Two-edged Sword!

Do you remember in the bible where it speaks of 'a new song will be sung?' Can you imagine the POWERFUL praise and worship that will resound from the ones who have come out of the Lake of Fire (Jesus Christ) having been purified undeservedly? The new heaven and the new earth will be roaring with these 'new songs' glorifying God and the Lamb forever throughout the ages! These purified souls will be so filled with gratitude, that they will never cease to stop magnifying the Lord their Saviour in the most creative ways that we have yet to see and be in AWE of!

Let me remind you of the the woman who washed Jesus' feet with her tears and anointed it with precious oil:

And one of the Pharisees asked Him to eat with him. And going into the Pharisee's house, He reclined. And behold, a woman, a sinner in the city, knowing that He reclined in the Pharisee' house, brought an alabaster vial of ointment. And she stood behind Him, weeping at His feet, and she began to wash His feet with tears and wipe them with the hair of her head. And she ardently kissed His feet and anointed them with the ointment. But seeing this, the Pharisee who had invited Him, spoke within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what kind of woman this is who touches him, for she is a sinner. And answering, Jesus said to him, Simon, I have something to say to you. And he said, Teacher, speak. There was a certain creditor who had two debtors. The one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty. And they having nothing to pay, he freely forgave both. Then which of them do you say will love him most? And answering, Simon said, I suppose that one to whom he forgave most. And He said to him, You have judged rightly. And He turned to the woman and said to Simon, Do you see this woman? I entered into your house, yet you gave Me no water for My feet. But she has washed My feet with tears, and has wiped them with the hair of her head. You gave Me no kiss, but this woman, since the time I came in, has not ceased to kiss My feet.

You did not anoint My head with oil, but this woman has anointed My feet with ointment.

Therefore I say to you, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, he loves little. And He said to her, Your sins are forgiven. And those reclining with Him began to say within themselves, Who is this who even forgives sins? And He said to the woman, Your faith has saved you, go in peace. Luke 7:36-50 M.K.J.V.

I know it's a lengthy passage but oh, the hidden manna in it makes it beautifully worthwhile! This woman who was a sinner, represents the unsaved who are resurrected in contempt but purified and saved by Jesus, the Lake of Fire! She was 'drawn/moved' by the Spirit of God into repentance; a parallel to ALL those who were raised from the dead in the second resurrection. The gratitude that the woman shows toward Jesus is also a parallel to the blissful adoration that the billions will also inevitably pour out to Him, their Great Saviour! All of the believers of the first resurrection, won't possess 'their song' because they are the 'debtors' who have been 'forgiven' the most! Let us not be like the pharisees, the prodigal sons' brother, Jonah etc, who was offended at the repentance and saving of sinners! Let us rather embrace the truth that 'the goodness of God brings a man to repentance' and believe Jesus when He said that 'He must be lifted up to DRAW ALL unto Him'

Consider this:

Should the church NOT be able to affirm with 100% surety that God has indeed created 'HELL' to cast billions of souls in it, they will then have to ADMIT that there is a GREAT POSSIBILITY that it is NOT SO! They will therefore be GUILTY of PROFANING and BLASPHEMING God's name among the nations in the world! Not only does the church makes God out be someone who lies, but they also declare throughout the world that God is WORSE THAN A MURDERER! Inevitably, the HARSHEST PUNISHMENT will be executed on the church! An example of what they're in for should the church not repent, would be to take a good look at how Israel who REJECTED their Messiah, SUFFERED! From the violent besiege of Jerusalem in 70AD, to the Horrible holocaust and finally to the present UNREST in the Middle East which has been carrying on for the longest time!

Well, as you obviously gathered, I am DEFINITELY not numbered with the majority of the church simply because of my convictions inspired by God! If I were the of the majority, I would do what I have done which is to:

DILIGENTLY SEEK THE LORD CONCERNING THE EXISTENCE OF 'HELL' AND NOT REST UNTIL I HAVE COME TO KNOW THE TRUTH WITH

100% CONVICTION!!

THE 'SPIRIT OF FEAR' IN THE CHURCH:

It is quite obvious that the thought of 'hell' as an existing place induces fear! And one of the common misquoted scriptures is:

And do not fear those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. But rather fear Him (God) who can destroy both soul and body in hell. Mat 10:28 K.J.V.

The word 'fear' in this verse literally means to be afraid. However, the word 'hell' refers to Gehenna, the Hinnom valley near Jerusalem. 'Hell' here does not mean a place of damnation in which eternal fires burn!! I have already dealt with this in an earlier installment on 'Hell Exposed.' While we are to have a 'reverential fear' for God in that he is able to destroy are souls and cast it into the grave/Sheol, the false teaching of 'hell fire damnation' has sown the seed of satanic fear DEEP into the church! Over the centuries, this seed has not only taken root, but has brought forth a 'SICK HARVEST' within the church. This satanic fear has given satan ample ground to 'waltz' in and out of the church causing havoc and great deception! Tragically, the church is known for the very unbecoming character of being JUDGMENTAL and take a guess where this stems from!

There is a psychological element involved which I won't get into right now. However, I will say this: The church at large has been suffering for the longest time and it has not been God having 'tried' them. They have fallen into satan's trap of deception making them think that 'hell' is God's righteous judgment when in fact it's a twisted lie having forged a platform of 'fear' in the hearts of those who have yielded to it! And the church is totally unaware! It is for this reason that God is about to cause 'THE GREAT SHAKING' in the church. His purpose is to completely smash into pieces the 'foundation of fear' in their hearts which has given birth to 'down syndrome' teachings! Those who have remained standing throughout 'the shaking' will restore those who have been broken down, by the administration of the Word of Truth! It will indeed be a time of the spirit of Ezra (the laying down of the Rock of Ages, Christ the living Word), and the spirit of Nehemiah (the great builder of the 'wall' protecting Gods people).

For thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land;

And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts. Hag 2:6-7 K.J.V.

And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in. Isa 58:12 K.J.V.

Here are exerts from a site which I found giving examples of how the church has succumbed to false doctrines and false so-called holy days. Be warned! It is very explicit but the truth however must be told!

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT:

Theologians and preachers think that they have this whole Greek hades thing all figured out. They know how many compartments are in this Greek hell, and who is going there and what happens there and all about it. They have studied what the Greeks have to say about their little hades/hell place of eternal torture, and it's all quite simple to them. Whatever the Greeks say this hades of theirs is and represents, then that's the way it is. After all, should not the Greeks know all about their very own hell? This, however, presents a problem that I doubt few have ever considered.

If theologians think that it is the Greeks who should be defining the meaning of the Greek Scriptures to us, then I submit that they have created their own two-edged sword. Here is just one major problem they will have to solve:

The word in Greek for "hell" is hades, and the word in Greek for "God" is theos.

Now then, since theos comes for deus and deus from Zeus (Zeus being the main god of the Greeks), did Jesus really teach that,

"You shall love the Lord your God [the Greek theos, deus, that is, ZEUS] with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and GREAT COMMANDMENT" (Matt. 22:37-38)?

According to the Greek Scriptures, did Jesus really teach that the great commandment is that we should LOVE the Greek god theos, that is Zeus? Are we really to "LOVE the Greek god ZEUS," with all our heart, soul and mind, in order to avoid being eternally tortured in the Greek hell of hades? The theologians have not thought this through very well. If the Greek Scriptures do indeed teach that the unjust go to the Greek hell, hades, then they also teach that the just are to love the Greek god, Zeus! Think about it.

May God grant you the faith and courage to trust Him that He might give you "the love of the truth that you might be saved" (II Thes. 2:10),

HOW ISRAEL LEARNED ABOUT THE HELLS OF THE PAGANS:

[1] Clearly Israel knew of the teachings, doctrines, and practices of the pagan Egyptians after living there for four centuries, otherwise, there would have been no reason at all for God to instruct them to not be doing those things which they saw and heard in Egypt. (Where do you suppose they came up with the idea of making a golden calf to worship at Mt. Sinai?) [2] They learned the teachings regarding hell from the pagans (Canaanites) when they possessed the land. They not only learned pagan religion, but actually practiced the rituals of the pagans in such places as Tophet in the Valley of Hinnom. [3] They learned these pagan doctrines pertaining to an eternal hell from their Assyrian and the Babylonian captors during their long years of captivity. But they didn't learn anything about an eternal hell of suffering from either the Old or New Testament Scriptures. And not from Moses, or the Prophets, or from Jesus, or from the Apostles.

CHRISTMAS TREES, EASTER EGGS, AND SHEILA-NA-GIGS

CHRISTMAS:

Most religious festivals of the world have something to do with sex or fertility. The Christian Holy Days are no different. They ARE in fact, little more than these same pagan festivals with Christian orientations. Christmas, for example IS the pagan Roman Saturnalia or sometimes called "The Festival of Lights." But even the Saturnalia predates the founding of Rome by centuries. This same festival can be traced to Babylon, and yes, you guessed it, to Egypt and their winter celebration of lights.

December 25 is near the winter solstice. It is the time when the sun after having been at the lowest point in the heavens, beings to rise over the world with renewed vigor and power. It was the time of heathen festivities in worship of the sun. The vernal equinox is the point where the sun crosses the celestial equator, about March 20, making day and night of equal length everywhere. This was the time of pagan spring festivals.

The day of December 25 acquired a new significance under the rule of Emperor Aurelian. He proclaimed this day as "Dies Natalis Invicti Solis," or the Birthday of the Unconquered Sun. This was because of a strange Eastern religion, Mithraism, whose god Mithras was identified with the Unconquered Sun. During the Saturnalia work of every kind ceased. Schools were closed.

The Roman Saturnalia was boisterous. But whatever the behavior of some Romans, others were simply merry. They ate big dinners, visited their friends, etc. The halls of the Romans were decked with boughs of laurel and of green trees, with lighted candles and with lamps--for the hovering spirits of darkness were afraid of light. Bonfires were lit in high places to strengthen the reviving sun in his course. Candles and green wreaths were given as presents, the streets were crowded with noisy processions of men and women carrying lighted tapers, and public places were decked with flowers and shrubs. The practice of giving and receiving presents was almost as common then as it is now at Christmas. Our present day "Christmas spirit" is actually the spirit of this old Roman festival.

EASTER:

Semiramis was the wife/mother of Nimrod the mighty hunter whose kingdom was Babel (Gen. 10:9-10). From there I will just quote from lasttrumpetministries.org, as their site has a concise history of Easter:

"She [Semiramis] taught that the moon was a goddess that went through a 28 day cycle and ovulated when full. She further claimed that she came down from the moon in a giant moon egg that fell into the Euphrates River. This was to have happened at the time of the first full moon after the spring equinox. Semiramis became known as "Ishtar" which is pronounced "Easter", and her moon egg became known as "Ishtar's" egg." Ishtar soon became pregnant and claimed that it was the rays of the sun-god Baal that caused her to conceive. The son that she brought forth was named Tammuz.

Tammuz was noted to be especially fond of rabbits, and they became sacred in the ancient religion, because Tammuz was believed to be the son of the sun-god, Baal. Tammuz, like his supposed father, became a hunter. The day came when Tammuz was killed by a wild pig. Queen Ishtar told the people that Tammuz was now ascended to his father, Baal, and that the two of them would be with the worshippers in the sacred candle or lamp flame as Father, Son and Spirit. Ishtar, who was now worshipped as the "Mother of God and Queen of Heaven", continued to build her mystery religion.

The queen told the worshippers that when Tammuz was killed by the wild pig, some of his blood fell on the stump of an evergreen tree, and the stump grew into a full new tree overnight. This made the evergreen tree sacred by the blood of Tammuz. She also proclaimed a forty day period of time of sorrow each year prior to the anniversary of the death of Tammuz. During this time, no meat was to be eaten. Worshippers were to meditate upon the sacred mysteries of Baal and Tammuz, and to make the sign of the "T" in front of their hearts as they worshipped. They also ate sacred cakes with the marking of a "T" or cross on the top.

Every year, on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the spring equinox, a celebration was made. It was Ishtar's Sunday and was celebrated with rabbits and eggs. Ishtar also proclaimed that because Tammuz was killed by a pig, that a pig must be eaten on that Sunday. By now, the readers of this tract should have made the connection that paganism has infiltrated the contemporary "Christian" churches, and further study indicates that this paganism came in by way of the Roman Catholic System. The truth is that Easter has nothing whatsoever to do with the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Similar legends abound in Northern Europe: Scholars, accepting the derivation proposed by the 8th-century English scholar, St. Bede, believe the name Easter is thought to come from the Scandinavian "Ostra" and the Teutonic "Ostern" or "Eastre," both Goddesses of mythology signifying spring and fertility whose festival was celebrated on the day of the vernal equinox. Traditions associated with the festival survive in the Easter rabbit, a symbol of fertility, and in colored Easter eggs, originally painted with bright colors to represent the sunlight of spring, and used in Easter-egg rolling contests or given as gifts.

Regardless how accurate all of these histories are in every detail, one thing is for sure. Rabbits and eggs are symbols of fertility, and all pagan and heathen cultures worshipped sex and fertility. Therefore, Easter is pagan, and the Church has absolutely no authority for using this pagan sex and fertility festival together with the Name of Jesus.

SHEILA-NA-GIGS:

What is a "Sheila-na-gig," you ask? Look it up in your dictionary. It's not there, you say? Hmmmm? I wonder why--it was a well-known word in Europe and Britain for centuries. Why do you suppose this word just dropped out of all our English dictionaries?

If you still have any doubts; ANY, that the Christian Church is steeped in sex and fertility worship, and rank paganism, then check into the "Sheila-na-gigs" of Christianity during the middle ages.

Sheila-na-gigs are so lewd, so pornographic, and utterly disgusting, that you can no longer even find the word Sheila-na-gig in most English Dictionaries. They are a part of Christianity's recent past, that church historians and theologians would rather you never, ever find out about.

These statues, carvings, idols and images of Sheila-na-gigs are no mere "golden calves" worshipped by Egypt and Israel. Nor are they mere pictures and statutes of the pagan Greek god Zues, fraudulently said to be pictures of a long-haired Christ. If you think that "the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION spoken of by Daniel standing in the holy place" (Matt. 24:15), was something horrible, wait till you learn what these Sheila-na-gigs standing in the holy places of the Christian Churches of Northwestern Europe and Britain were all about.

Sheela-na-gigs defined:

"Sheela-na-Gigs are carvings of naked females posed in a manner which displays and emphasises the genitalia. They were first brought to scientific attention in the 1840s by antiquarians. The name "sheela-na-gig" was first published in the Proceedings of the Royal Irish Academy 1840-44 as a local name for an exhibitionist carving which was once attached to the gable wall of a church. The name sheela-na-gig comes from the Irish language - the most likely interpretations are Sighle na gCioch meaning "the old hag of the breasts," or Sile-ina-Giob meaning "sheela (a name for an old woman) on her hunkers."

Other recorded names include the Devil Stone, the Idol, the Evil Eye Stone, Julia the Giddy, Shiela O'Dwyer, Cathleen Owen, St. Shanahan, Whore, the Witch, and the Hag of the Castle."

"Sheela-na-Gigs are religious carvings of women, special women, the symbolical representation of femininity and/or actual female deities or Goddesses. They were placed on churches, castles and other important buildings of the medieval period and, until quite recently in some instances, they acted as dedicatory or protective symbols promoting good luck and fertility.

But their meaning goes much deeper and the fact that they were erected over the doorways of churches and castles and otherwise placed in every prominent positions suggests that they were a very potent and powerful image, obviously the primary religious belief of the people of that era of christianity." From Sheela-na-gigs by Jack Roberts

Sheila-na-Gig = sheela na gig, from the Irish Sile n� gCioch" = sheela na gee-och, which means Sheila of the breasts. An ancient fertility icon, Sheila-na-Gigs are stone figurines of women, usually many breasted, and holding open their vaginas. Found in isolation and in medieval church walls. From Susan McKeown

"Aside from the transformative religious mysteries of sacrifice and initiation, the obvious life-giving and growth-promoting powers of the vulva and its secretions have given rise to a widespread use of representations of the female genitalia as apotropaic [to ward off evil] devices. A similar apotropaic function seems to have prompted the placing of squatting female figures prominently exposing their open vulvas on the key of arches at church entrances in Ireland, Great Britain, and German Switzerland. In Ireland these figures are called Sheelagh-na-gigs. Some of these figures represent emaciated old women. These images are illustrations of myths concerning the territorial Celtic goddess who was the granter of royalty. When the goddess wished to test the king-elect, she came to him in the form of an old hag, soliciting sexual intercourse. If the king-elect accepted, she transformed herself into a radiantly beautiful young woman and conferred on him royalty and blessed his reign. Most such figures were removed from churches in the nineteenth century. (Encyclopedia of Religion, article YONI, Vol. 15, p.534).

Who would ever sanction such a display of pagan filth, one might ask? Dr. Ernest L. Martin, Ph.D. answers:

"It should be recalled that the depiction of these women blatantly showing their genitalia in the most prominent places of a Cathedral or church were sanctioned and ordained by the Christian ecclesiastical authorities with the approval and approbation of the papacy in Rome (after all, some of them were found on churches as late as the nineteenth century)."

Even the large Catholic Cathedrals where adorned by these lewd idols, which Cathedrals were the home of the high-ranking Bishops.

All of this pagan nonsense found in the Christian Church came out of Rome and Greece and Egypt. The worship of sex and fertility pictured by symbols of sex and reproduction and fertility was a major part of pagan religion, and Egypt was the origin of many of these pagan practices. Did God reveal His truth to the Egyptians and expect Moses to learn the truths of God from the Egyptians? Moses learned all the pagan customs of Egypt, but he did not pass so much as one of them to Israel. All that Moses taught Israel CAME FROM GOD!

HELL EXPOSED Part 3

HELL EXPOSED!

Part 3

BY: HADLEY G LAYMAN

www.fathersheartbeat.blogspot.com

Please read earlier installments before continuing with present one.

The word 'hell' occurs 31 times in the Old Testament K.J.V, and 23 times in the New Testament K.J.V. 12 times it is translated from the word, 'Gehenna' in the N.T, 10 times from 'hades' defined as 'the unseen realm' which is the grave, pit, in the N.T, and but one time from 'Tartaroo' which is said to be 'the deepest part of hades,' also in the N.T. Talk about inconsistency in translation and that of GOD'S HOLY AND SOVEREIGN WORD!! What I would like to know, is why has the K.J.V.'s inaccurate translation of the word 'HELL' been accepted? Why is this so? I have the God given RIGHT to know! So do you, especially if you're not sure 'where you will end up when you die,' an all to familiar line! Does not the bible teach us that we are to come to God by FAITH, which alone pleases Him (Heb. 11:6) and not by that man-enticed fear-filled line? Oh, and how many fell for that one and think that they are saved! We must be careful of becoming offended:

Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh! Mat 18:7 K.J.V.

Instead of becoming offended, we need to regularly do a 'faith' check. A soul is 'drawn' to the Lord only by His Spirit and that by FAITH.

Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves.

No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. [Taught what? The FEAR of hell fire if they reject Jesus?] Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me. Jn 6:43-45 K.J.V.

Again, it is not by the FEAR of hell fire that we are drawn to God. There is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY our loving God has EVER created a place such as that! And how is it that I positively know this TRUTH?

BECAUSE THERE IS NO DOCUMENTATION OF GOD EVER HAVING CREATED 'HELL' IN THE HOLY SCRIPTURES!!

So how is it that a principle has been established in that God created 'hell'? Where are the 'two or three witnesses?' Continuing...

'GEHENNA:'

geenna

gheh'-en-nah

Of Hebrew origin ([H1516] and [H2011]); valley of (the son of) Hinnom; gehenna (or Ge-Hinnom), a valley of Jerusalem, used (figuratively) as a name for the place (or state) of everlasting punishment: - hell. (Strong's) (only God alone knows why the translators put that word 'hell' in here!!).

Don't miss that crucial word, 'figuratively,' that says it all! Gehenna in the original Greek manuscripts refers to the place where child sacrifice by fire was practiced in the Old Testament.

Moreover he (Ahab) burnt incense in the valley of the son of 'Hinnom', and burnt his children in the fire, after the abominations of the heathen whom the LORD had cast out before the children of Israel. 2Ch 28:3 K.J.V.

But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be liable to the judgment. And whoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be liable to the sanhedrin; but whoever shall say, Fool! shall be liable to be thrown into the fire of hell (gehenna; valley of the son of Hinnom) Mat 5:22 M.K.J.V.

And if your right eye offends you, pluck it out and throw it from you. For it is profitable for you that one of your members should perish, and not that your whole body should be thrown into hell. (gehenna; valley of the son of Hinnom) Mat 5:29 M.K.J.V.

And if your eye offends you, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes to be cast into hell fire. (gehenna; valley of the son of Hinnom)Mar 9:47 M.K.J.V.

Oh, the many times I have heard these verses preached and used to 'prove' the existence of 'hell!' Can somebody please tell me why the 'Great Teachers' of the Word who went through extensive biblical studies, never informed us (up to this very day!) that there was a mistranslation regarding this word 'hell?'

Continuing... Gehenna is the only Greek word translated into the English word 'hell', which has 'fire' associated with it. However, as we see in Strong's definition given above, it's not 'HELL FIRE' as is commonly accepted! It exclusively refers to the place of child sacrifice by fire which Israel was ensnared into practicing in Hinnom. When Jesus mentions things like: 'calling your brother a fool and cutting off certain body parts' or else one will be in danger of 'hell fire,' (which is Gehenna/Hinnom), he is referring to one's 'heart' being wicked, for out of it flows the issues of life. Jesus sets a very high standard of living in that just calling somebody a 'fool' reveals poison in ones heart and is therefore in danger of journeying down the 'wide road' of rebellion. As for 'the body parts', they are not the cause of one sinning, it's the heart! And just as the harlot in Proverbs who will 'bring one down to Sheol' (the grave); If any was found having sexual relations with her, they would be stoned to death as per the Law and end up in Sheol! The grave is exactly where one will end up if we do not allow God to purify our hearts! We will be brought into the ground, 'ashes to ashes and dust to dust' just as could be seen by the people in Jesus' time in the Hinnom valley near the city of Jerusalem! Therefore, we are to fix up our hearts by the Power which only comes from God or we will be subject to be ensnared into rebellion which is the seed of witch-craft and therefore leads to the gruesome occult of child sacrifice, and therefore liable to the judgment of death. So Jesus purposely used the Hinnom (Gehenna) valley nearby as an excellent example to minister about that type of judgment. But can someone please tell me how it is that Gehenna/Hinnom was translated into 'hell' in the understanding of what 'hell' commonly means today? Or are we to think that God will actually do the very same thing as wicked Israel did which is far more worse, by throwing BILLIONS of His children into a HOT MOLTEN LAVA OF FIRE FOREVER and 'the church' has the gall to exclaim: “That's Righteous Judgment?"

For the time has come for the judgment to begin from the house of God. And if it first begins from us, what will be the end of those disobeying the gospel of God? 1Pe 4:17 M.K.J.V.

On the one hand the church preaches of God's awesome Love and on the other, they drive the FEAR OF 'HELL FIRE' into the people and say 'it's God's 'Righteous Judgment' when in fact they make the Holy and Loving God who has made His Son the propitiation of ALL the sins of ALL MANKIND, more wicked than Hitler and satan put together! How is it that the church will escape judgment for this EXTREME HERESY?! When will the church WAKE UP and understand that our God is in the PURIFYING OF SOULS BUSINESS and that of the WHOLE WORLD? That is the reason why Jesus is crowned:

SAVIOUR OF THE WORLD!!

HADES AND THE LAKE OF FIRE:

hadēs

hah'-dace

From G1 (as a negative particle) and G1492; properly unseen, that is, “Hades” or the place (state) of departed souls: - grave, hell (Strong's) (again, only God alone knows why the translators put that word 'hell' in here!!).

And you, Capernaum, who are exalted to the heaven, shall be brought down to hell ('hades'; which is the unseen, the grave). For if the mighty works which have been done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. Mat 11:23 M.K.J.V.

According to the definition of hades, which is the grave, this is exactly what happened to the city of Capernaum. It was in reality, destroyed and 'brought down to the ground', dead and buried, ashes to ashes and dust to dust, now but a graveyard! Well, what can be said but: “Jesus is the TRUTH!”

There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; And in hell (hades, the grave/ground,earth) he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 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. But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead. Lk. 16:19-31 K.J.V.

Now how is it that ANYONE can speak being dead in the ground (Hades, Sheol)? Oh, but now we have to 'keep up' with Jesus because he's on a much 'higher' spiritual level. (Remember: “the words that I speak are spirit and life...?”) It's the same focus > the condition of the heart! Although Jesus' mentioning of Capernaum had a spiritual meaning, it was also a hard fact. But the rich man and Lazarus is a parable which has a much deeper spiritual truth. Nothing much is said about the rich man except that he was 'loaded' (with money), and selfish. As for Lazarus, he was poor and a beggar. As it is 'falsely' and commonly accepted, the rich man went to 'hell' frying himself to 'kingdom come' and Lazarus off course is in heaven. How the rich man gets it right to even get ONE word out of his mouth is beyond me! Try having a conversation like he did while having a flame put to you skin. Tell me, did you get any other word out of you mouth except: "A-A-A-H-H-H!!!"

In verse 24 the rich man cries out: “for I am tormented in this flame.” But Hades being the grave/ground, has no flame in it! So what is this 'flame' that he is experiencing? It's the 'burning desire' to be where Lazarus is, which is in the Kingdom of God in the hope of the first resurrection! Abraham in this parable is Kingdom of God, for he is the Father of faith! The 'flame' is also the deep regret in not doing the same which Jesus asked the 'rich young ruler' to do which is to: 'sell all he has and give to the poor' (Lazarus). That is the reason why he cries to Father Abraham to send Lazarus to his 'five' brothers, so that he can hopefully convince them to repent and to have a generous 'heart' and 'give to the poor' or suffer as he is in having no hope in the resurrection!

He who has an ear, listen: The 5 brothers represents the FIVE FOLD MINISTRY and is a WARNING TO IT! See also Matt.7:21-23. (This is the same five husbands the 'woman at the well' in Jn Ch.4 had and who has not given her the 'proper feeding' but rather sucked her out bone dry! That is the reason why she is found at the well desiring to have her 'thirst quenched!' But then she meets her REAL HUSBAND who offers to her, LIVING WATER which will NEVER leave her thirsty again!)

There's a very good reason why Jesus mentions the rich man clothed in PURPLE and FINE LINEN, it signifies the 'CHURCH HIERARCHY!' I know, that's a real shocker isn't it! So how is it then that the 5 fold ministry has neglected the poor? The answer is not that they have neglected them, they have UNJUSTLY EXACTED MONEY FROM THE POOR! That's all I'm gonna say about that, for now! Maybe not! Ever wondered why the 'poor' is still found in the church and yet the revenue of tithes and offerings in the church globally rank in the multi billions? The poor are being sucked dry just like the woman at the well was, and also just like what happened to Lazarus! Do you catch all of that?

He who has an ear; let him hear...

Continuing:

The answer that Abraham gives to the rich man, refers to the 'flaming lust' of riches which the 'five brothers' are ensnared by and therefore won't believe the true prophets of God or Lazarus!

“Then Jesus said to His disciples, Truly I say to you that a rich man will with great difficulty enter into the kingdom of Heaven.

And again I say to you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.” Mat 19:23-24 M.K.J.V.

Have you noticed that Jesus did not say that the rich man will 'never' enter into the Kingdom? He will eventually enter, but only after the second resurrection when he has to pass through Jesus, the Lake of Fire, and purifier. However, there is no hope for the rich man to sit down and sup with Abraham and family in the Kingdom at the first resurrection. That is the reason for his 'flamed torment' in hades, the grave and NOT 'HELL' as is commonly accepted. I submit to you that Jesus was admonishing us to develop a GIVING and PURE 'heart' which leads to LIFE. A selfish heart like that of the rich man, leads to death in hades, the grave, with no hope of being part in the first resurrection.

“Blessed are the poor, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.” This is the hope for Lazarus and all who follow; It is the hope of the GREAT RESURRECTION of the saints. You see, the truth is that Lazarus also is in the ground, hades. But only he and not the rich man will be raised up from hades in the FIRST resurrection. The rich man will be risen in contempt at the SECOND resurrection but will however be cleansed from his wicked ways by passing through the Lake of Fire which is Christ the purifier. What's that? You still don't believe that Jesus' Blood is not powerful enough to cleanse ALL the souls who will be raised up in the second resurrection? Well so much for:

“There is Power, Power , wonder working Power

In the Blood of the Lamb...”

And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of hell (hades,the grave) shall not prevail against it. Mat 16:18 M.K.J.V.

This is pretty simple. The building material that Jesus will use is the Word, which is spirit and life, his is very own self! And hasn't Jesus conquered the 'grave' (hades) so that we who believe on him inherit the same, making us 'MORE THAN CONQUERERS?' God will not have our souls 'see corruption' (the grave) by leaving us as ash and dust in the ground (hades)! Jesus is our predecessor by CONQUERING THE GRAVE via His resurrection, and therefore this is our GREAT HOPE!

However, the hope for the whole world to be saved in the end, is also in Christ! Praise God! Jesus is the PURIFIER whom God the Father PURIFIES the WHOLE WORLD with! Don't you see, this right here is the REAL GOOD NEWS!! We are going to see all those whom we thought were damned to hell (BILLIONS OF THEM!!), SAVED!! After the great judgment where will all of them who rejected Jesus be? They will be thrown into the lake of fire. To burn forever experiencing the most excruciating pain? NO! They will be thrown in-

TO BE PURIFIED BY THE MERCIFUL MOST HIGH, VIA HIS SON JESUS CHRIST!!

Again, we must check our hearts if we think it 'unfair' or even 'unrighteous' that those who certainly are undeserving to say the least, will all be SAVED in the end!

Remember how angry and offended the brother of the prodigal son was when he got saved and a huge celebration was given for him? Remember when Jonah was upset when the people of Nineveh repented and was saved and Jonah then 'self righteously' thought that they should receive a harsh punishment - death? Remember the parable where one person got agitated in that he sacrificed in the hot sun much more than the others who didn't sacrifice as much, but yet received the same payment?

Read Matt.20:1-16

So when evening had come, the lord of the vineyard said to his steward, Call the laborers and pay them their wage, beginning from the last to the first.

And when they who were hired about the eleventh hour came, they each one received a denarius.

But when the first came, they supposed that they would received more; and they also each one received a denarius.

And receiving it they murmured against the master of the house,

saying, These last have worked only one hour, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden and heat of the day.

But he answered one of them and said, Friend, I do you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denarius?

Take yours, and go; I will give to this last one the same as to you.

Is it not lawful for me to do what I want with my own? Is your eye evil because I am good?

So the last shall be first, and the first last, for many are called, but few are chosen. Matt. 20:8-16 M.K.J.V.

Those verses are self explanatory! And the main issue once again, is the condition of our hearts!

There awaits a GLORIOUS prize for those who TRULY belongs to the GROOM having GIVEN UP ALL FOR HIM ALONE! They will rise on the 'third day' and rule and reign with Christ; They have been 'hand-selected' by the Father. They are HEAVENLY JERUSALEM, the BRIDE of CHRIST who will rule and reign over the nations. The 'nations' are those who passed through the PURIFYING LAKE OF FIRE AND ARE SAVED!!

And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain and showed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of Heaven from God, Rev 21:10 M.K.J.V.

And the city had no need of the sun, nor of the moon, that they might shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it, and its lamp is the Lamb. Rev 21:23 M.K.J.V.

And the nations of those who are saved (those who passed through the Lake of Fire.) will walk in the light of it; and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor into it. Rev 21:24 M.K.J.V.

And its gates may not be shut at all by day, for there shall be no night there. Rev 21:25 M.K.J.V.

And they shall bring the glory and honor of the nations into it. Rev 21:26 M.K.J.V.

And there shall in no way enter into it anything that defiles, or any making an abomination or a lie; but only those who are written in the Lamb's Book of Life. Rev 21:27 M.K.J.V.

It's amazing to me that there are those who still think that there is a 'real book' in heaven! And that when God speaks of, thrown into the lake of fire that it 'literally' will happen that way! It won't! Here's a news flash:

GOD IS SPIRIT AND ALL THOSE WHO COME TO HIM MUST WORSHIP HIM IN SPIRIT!!

It is carnal to think that God is physically going to throw people into a physical lake of fire, sign in the book, etc. By the way, since when is fire, even as flowing lava, EVER A LAKE? A lake exclusively refers to a pond of water'; But is Jesus not the WATER OF LIFE? And is it not mentioned that the 'WATER OF LIFE' will be freely given to those who thirst? Jesus is both the 'lake of fire' and the 'water of life'! Remember when the rich man begs to have his tongue cooled with water from Lazarus' finger? All those resurrected in shame will receive 'THE REFRESHING' from our MERCIFUL SAVIOUR! JESUS WILL GIVE THEM LIVING WATER TO 'COOL THEIR TONGUE' AND SAVE THEM ALL, HALLELUJAH!!

And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. Rev 21:6 K.J.V.

And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. Rev 22:17 K.J.V.

BRIMSTONE:

...shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. Rev.21:8b K.J.V.

Many consider brimstone in this verse of scripture to be a substance which makes the 'lake of fire' even hotter than what it already is! The whole idea is to inflict more pain on the souls who have been cast into this lake! How truly SICK 'the church' has become and WORSE in that they portray God as a terrifying torturer, 'sprinkling' brimstone into the fire and going: “Yes! Burn you rebellious souls! Suffer and be in great torment! Here's another dose of brimstone as you deserve and don't get too comfortable, 'cause the dose will increase at regular intervals THROUGHOUT ALL ETERNITY! HA! HA! HA!”

This is the type of God which the church preaches of in the world and it is TRAGICALLY, no different to the 'gods' of all the other religions!

Brimstone is the ancient word for sulfur. 'Raw' sulfur is found chiefly in volcanic or sedimentary deposits. The lethal gas with a strong unpleasant odour which is released in the air in active volcanoes, is the presence of sulfuric acid. It comes in different compounds and has interesting properties. It is a preservative, a bleacher, is used for fruit ripening and it exhibits catenation which is the bonding of an atom to another identical atom. John described what he saw in the spirit by mentioning 'brimstone.' The presence of brimstone in the lake of fire which is Christ, is to preserve, protect and whiten (bleach) the souls in it! An example would be the account of the fate of Sodom and Gomorrha:

But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Luk 17:29 K.J.V.

They may have been destroyed in the flesh by fire (for that's where their sin abounded); but the brimstone is 'prophetic' in that it will preserve and cleanse them as they pass through the lake of fire at the final judgment. As for the 'unpleasant odour', God as the consuming fire will incinerate their sins but protect and cleanse their souls and this in turn will give off a terrible stench (volcanic sulfur gas), for which their sins are responsible. Remember the properties of sulfur in that it's used for 'fruit ripening and exhibiting catenation? Well, these purified souls will be fit for the Masters use, for he will completely cleanse them for his purpose just like sulfur is good for so many usages! We will ALL be the 'salt' (sulfur salt compound) flavouring and 'ripening the fruit' of the New Heaven (universe) and the New Earth! In fact, the entire human race who will be fully TRANSFORMED, will be an integral part in creating this New Universe to the great pleasure of God our Father! Hallelujah!

Picture this: At the last judgment, God raises ALL from the dead. Now these are all who are blackened with sin because they have not believed and received Jesus in their lifetime on earth. They are the ones who are raised in 'utter shame' as the bible teaches us. Now, “it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of God the Great Judge!” Can you picture all those billions of souls not being able to stand, but laying prostrate before HIM, THE HOLY AND AWESOME ONE in total fear? They know exactly what they deserve; But all of a sudden, who do they see coming forward, 'scarred' beyond recognition? Why, it's the LAMB WHO WAS SLAIN BY THE VERY PEOPLE and more so, BY THEIR SINS! And they at that very moment will KNOW IT for God in His power will do it and they will weep and loudly cry out:

"CAST US INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE THAT WE MIGHT BE SAVED!!"

Remember: “all those that are willing?” God will do this marvelous thing for only He knows how to bring man into PERFECT REPENTANCE! Remember how Jesus got Saul's attention and then got him 'saved' by the baptism of fire (the blinding light), and renamed him Paul? I mean really! This man KILLED and TORTURED the believers in Christ Jesus! Here is an EVIL man who did not even submit and humble himself to Jesus, but has the HONOUR of hearing and seeing him and most importantly, GETS TRANSFORMED IN A BLINDING FLASH OF LIGHT!! So, how is it that the church has not considered that Jesus will also transform those of the second resurrection? God certainly is not a respecter of persons! Why would Jesus transform evil Saul and NOT the rest of the wicked raised in contempt?

Do I hear someone saying: “Yes, but who can know the ways of the Lord and who can dare to question him?”

Well, here's my answer:

But as it is written, "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard," nor has it entered into the heart of man, "the things which God has prepared for those who love Him."

But God has revealed them to us by His Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, yea, the deep things of God. 1Co 2:9-10 M.K.J.V.

But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things. 1Jo 2:20 M.K.J.V.

It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter. Pro 25:2 K.J.V.

Do you not know that

...the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance? Rom 2:4 K.J.V.

All those who are raised up in the second resurrection, will be saved by the sweet mercies and goodness of God! They voluntary will want to be BAPTIZED into the CUP OF SUFFERING which is into Christ, THE LAKE OF FIRE. And they shall ALL be SAVED! Why? Because they all will have the FULL understanding of the sacrifice the Lamb has made for them! This will cause PERFECT CONVICTION and they in turn will willingly want to partake of this sacrifice by going through the Lake of Fire which are trials and tribulations! God in his power will CAUSE this to happen just like he done with Paul and many others through the centuries (via trials and tribulations!). Therefore:

JESUS IS THE SAVIOUR OF THE WORLD!!

All things have been given to Christ, and just as ALL things came from God, so must all things come into Christ. He is the Lake of Fire! EVERYTHING is thrown into Christ! Death, hades (the unseen, sheol, the grave, pit), all who rejected Jesus, all of heaven and all of earth are ALL going to be thrown into HIM for the sins to be incinerated and the souls to be PURIFIED and SAVED!

If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: BUT HE HIMSELF SHALL BE SAVED; yet so as BY FIRE. (KJV. 1Co. 3:15)

This truly is one of the 'corner-stone' scriptures which reveals the simple truth of the last judgment.

any man's	This simply means each one of the human race.
work shall be burned,	Remember the rest of the dead being judged for their WORKS in Revelation? Having passed through the Lake of Fire, Jesus, their works will be burned.
he shall suffer loss	The attachment to worldly things through lust, will be violently consumed by the fire causing those who are cast into the lake, to 'suffer great loss'. Jesus refers to this in His parables.
BUT HE HIMSELF SHALL BE SAVED;	Well, that says it all! The fire wont consume them, only the works! All those souls WILL BE SAVED!! (via trials and tribulations!). PRAISE OUR GREAT SAVIOUR FOR HIS MERCIES THAT WE HAVE YET TO FULLY COMPREHEND!!
yet so as BY FIRE.	Our God is a consuming FIRE! He is NOT a fire that will destroy His children even if they are disobedient! He, as the Lake of Fire, will consume the works of sin, but PURIFY ALL THE SOULS; MAKING THEM BRAND NEW!! BLESSED IS HIS NAME FOREVER!!

BEHOLD!! I MAKE ALL THINGS NEW!!
