Terrifying Thoughts

I don't know of any Christian who delights in the Biblical teaching of hell.

Hell is not one of those teachings that make you feel all fuzzy inside.

I have been talking with someone who believes that hell will not be eternal...

...this person is not an unbeliever but someone who professes to trust in Jesus...

I am reading a book she lent me, and will comment on its teachings...at a later date.

The Bible teaches that hell is a reality and that it is eternal!

I can honestly understand why people would want to find a way to make the Bible say something else...because the truth is a harsh pill to swallow.

I believe that the main reason why we find it so hard to believe that God would punish people for their sins...and do so not merely for a temporal duration...but forever and ever...is two-fold.

1. We do not rightly understand the heights of God's holiness.
2. We do not rightly understand the depths of our own wickedness.

I will post more on this teaching...not because it is so light and fluffy but because the Bible speaks more about hell then it does about heaven.


If you go to most funeral today you will learn that most people believe that a person is made right before God by...by...well...by just dying.

No matter what you believed, how you acted, how you treated the Lord Jesus Christ...you will be ushered into heavens pearly gates just because your heart stopped beating.

This teaching is nowhere found in the Bible.

Remember, it doesn't really matter what they say about you at your funeral...what is really going to matter is what God says about you on the other side.
