My husband was in the Indian way of his culture and actively practiced his beliefs such as the sweat lodge and the Sundance. I witnessed to him (before we were married) and others from our church witnessed to him but he was loyal to his culture. He would never come and only mocked and said mean things to me concerning church. One day he asked to come and we took him. He got filled with the Holy Ghost and baptized that same week. He later told me that he saw hell in all its horror. The Lord allowed him to see that eternal place. His family now persecutes his beliefs (they still live in Indian way) and he witnessed to them as well now. They told him hell doesn’t exist. He told them “I know what I saw”. He tells me “you don’t even want to look into hell”. “You wouldn’t want your worst enemy to go there” “what’s worse than the pain is the absolute fact in your heart and soul, you know without a doubt, you know with complete certainty, that you’ll never escape that place. Utter hopelessness.” He still shares his testimony.

NKJV The Rich Man and Lazarus 19“There was a certain rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and fared sumptuously every day. 20But there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, full of sores, who was laid at his gate, 21desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table. Moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. 22So it was that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died and was buried. 23And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24“Then 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.’ 1st day in hell? Or many years after? This would make a good sunday school class discussion

John 3:16 . . . unless we receive the gift of eternal life, we will *_perish:_* ■ "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." So, how will the unsaved perish? ■ "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 6:23) After resurrection and judgment, the unsaved will die a second time. It's called the "second death" in the Bible, in Revelation 2:11, 20:6, 20:14 and 21:8. After the second death there is no life and there is no hope of resurrection. It's the end of you. You'll never "be" again. That's what it means to "perish." And that's how God mercifully deals with those who reject Him. Here’s some examples of perishing from the Old Testament: ■ "For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be" (Psalms 37:10). ■ "As the whirlwind passeth, so is the wicked no more: but the righteous is an everlasting foundation" (Proverbs 10:25). ■ "The way of the LORD is strength to the upright: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity" (Proverbs 10:29). So, what is hell? The word “hell” appears in Bible *_translations_* because hell-believing *_translators_* put it there, paving over the meanings of three different original Greek words (New Testament). Those words have nothing to do with a place of eternal, fiery torment. Here’s an example: ■ “And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire” (Mark 9:47) The Greek word γέεννα (geena or gehenna in English) was translated "hell" in that verse. So, what was γέεννα, really? It was the valley (just outside Jerusalem) which was used as a dump in Jesus’ time. Constant fire and maggots there were sure to destroy whatever was thrown in. But translators said nothing about that dump. Instead, they translated γέεννα as “hell.” Using “hell” in that verse was grossly misleading. Jesus was not talking about eternal torment in some sort of fiery hell. Jesus was saying the unsaved would perish. They would surely be destroyed, just as trash thrown into that dump was sure to be destroyed. They would (figuratively) be thrown into the dump. Translators (especially King James Version, 1611) made a real mess when they used the word “hell” in place of those three Greek words. They had inherited their hell concept, by tradition, through the Catholic church. By using “hell” they were twisting the meanings of the Greek words, making the Bible appear to support their doctrine of a place of perpetual, fiery torment. Some later translators have recognized this error. They've referenced the original Greek words in footnotes, or even used the original Greek words directly in the translated text . . . and not used “hell.” Young’s Literal Translation (YLT), for example, never uses “hell.” The damage caused by the translators continues to this day. Millions of reasonable people dismiss Christianity as nonsense when they are told the God of mercy will sadistically torment the unsaved forever and ever in some sort of fiery hell. People often struggle with the thought of perishing because they've been led to believe they have an immortal soul that leaves the body at death and lives - somewhere - forever. That's actually a pagan doctrine that has crept into institutional Christianity over the centuries. (It's a repackaged version of Satan's lie, "Ye shall not surely die" -Genesis 3:4.) Here's the pagan Greek philosopher Plato; see if this sounds like what most professing Christians have taught by their churches: _"Do we believe that there is such a thing as death? And is this anything but the separation of soul and body? And_ _being dead is the attainment of this separation; when the soul exists in herself, and is parted from the body and the_ _body is parted from the soul . . . beyond question the soul is immortal and imperishable, and our souls will truly_ _exist in another world!"_ (Plato, in _Phaedo,_ about 360 BC) The "soul" in the Bible is different: it only refers to your self, your person . . . not to some sort of immortal spirit component that floats out of your body when you die. Example: ■ "And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls." (Acts 27:37) The soul - the person - that chooses sin will die: ■ "The soul that sinneth, it shall die . . . " (Ezekiel 18:20) ➔ Salvation is not about "where you'll spend eternity." Wrong paradigm! *You won't even **_have_** an eternity unless* *you receive from God the gift of eternal life!* Otherwise, you'll perish in that "second death." There will be "weeping" and "gnashing of teeth" when the unsaved see others receiving the gift of eternal life and realize they, too, could have received eternal life. In Matthew 25:46 Jesus describes the fate of the unsaved: ■ "And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal." The punishment of the unsaved is "everlasting" in the sense that it is completed, final, permanent and irrevocable, like the execution of a criminal. The "everlasting punishment" is the second death, after which there is no life and no hope of resurrection. The punishment is not "everlasting" in the sense of being perpetual, conscious punishing.
that's an easy one to answer friend "whosoever believ-eth" the "eth" on the end of any word in the KJV denotes a consistent and repeated thing to do, that's why a one time believe doesn't save anyone remember Jas 2:19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: ----- the devils also believe, ------ and tremble. This lets us know that the devils believe, but we know that the devils are not saved so what then? Mar 16:16 He that believeth "and is baptized" shall be saved; ... True belief drives one to make a choice and act. That's why on the day of Pentecost those who believe Peter acted on their belief by obeying the command to repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ and be filled with his Holy Spirit. Act 2:41 Then they that "gladly received his word" were baptized: -they heard the message, believed it and then acted on what was instructed and the same goes for us here today. Belief is the beginning, then we must obey in order to avoid falling into this category below (note the importance of obedience) 2Th_1:8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that "obey not the gospel" of our Lord Jesus Christ: 1Pe_4:17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that "obey not the gospel" of God? I hope this helped to clarify a little. May our Lord Jesus Christ bless and keep and lead you.
@@apostolictorch2820 I think we're agreed that believing goes beyond faith: true believers - like Abraham - act on their faith and obey God. Otherwise their faith is dead. But that's not what my original comment was about. My original comment was about hell, perishing, the second death and the pagan Greek "immortal soul" doctrine.
@@apostolictorch2820 If you'll read my original comment, you'll find a quote from the pagan Greek philosopher Plato. Plato taught we have immortal souls. We don't have immortal souls. If we did have immortal souls, we'd have no need to receive the gift of eternal life. The "wages of sin is death" -specifically the "second death" (Rev 2:11; 20:6; 20:14 and 21:8) after resurrection and judgment. After the second death, there is neither life nor hope of resurrection. It's the end of you. You'll never "be" again. That's what it means to perish. We either perish, or, we receive the gift of eternal life: ■ "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16)
@@TheBibleSays Luk_13:28 There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and "you yourselves thrust out". Mat 13:49-50 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, (50) And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Mat 25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into "everlasting fire", prepared for the devil and his angels: Mat 25:46 And these shall go away into "everlasting punishment": but the righteous into life eternal. To say that you will simply "cease to be" directly contradicts what Jesus said would happen in the end.
This you say a prayer & you are saved is not biblical.god grants salvation because the bible teaches you that it comes from a supernatural God because we are born into sin.
Didn't God tell Adam that he would die if he disobeyed His instructions not to eat the off limits fruit? Notice that nothing was mentioned about eternal torment in a firey place! Genesis 2:17! In Ecclesiastes 9:5,10 we learn that the dead are unconscious, conscious of nothing at all! In Ezekiel 18:4,20, we learn that the soul is not immortal, rather, it dies! In Ecclesiastes 12:7 it says that the dead return to the dust, the spirit returns to God! So who is the liar? Certainly not the Almighty, it is impossible for Him to lie, Titus 1:2; Numbers 23:19,no, He is not a man! Satan and his children are the ones who are lying! God's Word is truth! God is love, not sadistic!
Adam died a spiritual death. They Adam and Eve had perfect fellowship with God before they sinned . What are you trying to say that their is no hell . Are you trying to profess. annihilation . That’s foolish that means theirs no consequences for sin and Jesus was crucified for nothing .
Wages of sin is death. Thats it. This message incorrectly assumes an immortal soul. Isaiah 33 says only the righteous can survive the fire of judgement.
Revelation 20:11-15 (KJV) 11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is [the book] of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. 13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14 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. ?

The Rich Man and Lazarus
19“There was a certain rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and fared sumptuously every day. 20But there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, full of sores, who was laid at his gate, 21desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table.

The rich man also died and was buried. 23And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
24“Then 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.’

Lord bless you
I have never read anywhere in the Bible about Hell even having a night ( first night )that would mean their would be a day . Don’t get it ????
So share with me what you've read in the bible about hell
John 3:16 . . . unless we receive the gift of eternal life, we will *_perish:_*
■ "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
So, how will the unsaved perish?
■ "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 6:23)
After resurrection and judgment, the unsaved will die a second time. It's called the "second death" in the Bible, in Revelation 2:11, 20:6, 20:14 and 21:8. After the second death there is no life and there is no hope of resurrection. It's the end of you. You'll never "be" again. That's what it means to "perish."
And that's how God mercifully deals with those who reject Him.
Here’s some examples of perishing from the Old Testament:
■ "For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be" (Psalms 37:10).
■ "As the whirlwind passeth, so is the wicked no more: but the righteous is an everlasting foundation" (Proverbs 10:25).
■ "The way of the LORD is strength to the upright: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity" (Proverbs 10:29).

In Ecclesiastes 9:5,10 we learn that the dead are unconscious, conscious of nothing at all! In Ezekiel 18:4,20, we learn that the soul is not immortal, rather, it dies! In Ecclesiastes 12:7 it says that the dead return to the dust, the spirit returns to God! So who is the liar? Certainly not the Almighty, it is impossible for Him to lie, Titus 1:2; Numbers 23:19,no, He is not a man! Satan and his children are the ones who are lying! God's Word is truth! God is love, not sadistic!
Adam died a spiritual death. They Adam and Eve had perfect fellowship with God before they sinned . What are you trying to say that their is no hell . Are you trying to profess. annihilation
. That’s foolish that means theirs no consequences for sin and Jesus was crucified for nothing .
Are you a Mormon ??
If there is no Hell, did Jesus die for nothing? Seems like that is what you are saying, which goes against the Scripture.
Wages of sin is death. Thats it. This message incorrectly assumes an immortal soul. Isaiah 33 says only the righteous can survive the fire of judgement.
Revelation 20:11-15 (KJV) 11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is [the book] of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. 13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14 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.
