Wow! This is the most eye opening, real, honest message I’ve heard in a long time. People do not want to hear it in these end times but we must call on the Holy Spirit to give us the right words and opportunities to get it out there.
Amen... Believe ALL or Believe NOTHING AT ALL...thank you for not being afraid of the Gospel for it is the WORD OF GOD...very very few have the boldness to preach the TRUTH...🙏
This teaching rattled my cage. One of the best teaching on hell I have heard so far. Thank you Lord I played this over and over today and I will continue to listen to it
Pastor John I forced myself to listen to this sermon,although I'm saved many in my family are not it will help me to be stronger in witnessing to them.
@@ryanlsorrell1983 1000 bucks says you can’t find a single verse that says we sin Everyday or can’t stop sinning. , Fake professing Christians like you have no clue what the Bible is about, but claim to be Christians. Literally threw the whole entire book says stop 🛑 sinning or you will perish in the lake of fire 🔥, So basically you believe God is asking you to do something you can’t do, that would make him a liar 🤥. Repent you sinner what sin can you not stop doing????
This is one of the best messages on the reality of Hell I've heard in a long time! I am so thankful that this ministry is declaring the whole counsel of God.
@@alexanderalmirer3185 um, no. Kenneth Copeland is one of the worst, and most demon possessed false teachers out there, leading a MULTITUDE of souls straight to this very real hell preached about in this sermon. He even mixed his blood with someone else's in a cup for "communion" - that is WITCHCRAFT!! You can look it up. NONE of his false prophecies have ever come true, as they are not biblical! He preaches a doctrine of demons - I URGE you to stop listening to him!!
Thank you so much for this message. Now, may we be motivated to seek out the lost souls. Ask the Lord of the harvest to send out His workers. Praise Jesus Christ Hallelujah
I live in extreme lower back pain every day some days it hurts to breathe. I don't want to know how bad hell is that's why I'm so glad God is in my heart
I share in extreme lower back pain daily. It's hard enough to live with it now & I can't imagine living with the pain through eternity. God gives me the strength daily to get through it but without Him there's definitely no hope.
@@karenmessinger9609 i know God has a plan for me and he says he won't put anything on us that we can't handle but some days i can't handle this. Low back pain sucks, I've had 3 big surgeries and a pain pump put in me now the doctors are going to fuse my tail bone and hips together. I had the low 3 vertebrates fused in 2006 and they say that hips are getting into the nerves causing all the pain
@@kurucks, your comment proves that you know NOTHING about God or The Bible... you can THINK you know, all you want. But the truth here is that you can't even handle someone having faith without you trying to disparage them for said faith. Look at you, you're saying things are blatantly false, thinking it's the truth. I don't care what you think. I pray for the Lost. But your comment means NOTHING anymore... you've been WARNED. Now you can believe what you want and mock all you want. The Rapture will happen FIRST, then The Tribulation (Jacob's Trouble)... God's Wrath. Then, if you STILL won't get it, Hell. And I pray for you and everyone else that wants to THINK they know.
@@kurucks, if the truth was that I was just believing in nonsense, you wouldn't need to so passionately tell me off. It wouldn't even bother you that Christians exist. It would be NOTHING to you. You're so insecure in your beliefs that you actually have to barate Christians with YOUR beliefs. I'm not seeing Christians do what YOU'RE doing to ME. Do you have the same disdain for Hindus? Jews? Islam? How about Luciferians? You don't. You just HATE Christians. You see someone with faith and you're so insecure with your OWN beliefs that you HAVE TO come at ME to tell me how "wrong" I am. If I REALLY WAS WRONG, you wouldn't have to do that. You reveal yourself with your comments. Christians aren't evil. People like YOU are. You're a BULLY. An insecure bully that needs to feel superior by berating Christians. Eric makes you the opposite of what you THINK you actually are. You're an insecure cowardly bully that needs to feel superior. That's why you saw my comment from 3 months ago and needed to feel good about your own beliefs. Good day.
@@kurucks, see? You have NO CLUE what you're talking about... and you didn't answer any of my questions. You don't do this to Islamic people, or Jews, Hindus or any other religion. You're just prejudice. You can't admit your a bully, only say that I "support one". Which shows you're just doing that immature thing that kids do... why don't you just say "I know you are but what am I?" 🤦♂️ you're like a kid that doesn't like something or someone so he lashes out like a bully. That's how you're acting. You reveal yourself through your comments. You are NOT making yourself look good here... 🤦♂️
I'm a recommitted Christian, after hearing that sermon, though saved I've prayed like I haven't prayed before. Say what you will about about a hellfire sermon, but nothing makes you appreciate the awaiting splendor in the clouds like flames at your feet. Thank you Jesus!
A few years ago I had a dream. In the dream I had just died . I saw Jesus and said, "Lord, I'm here! I finally made it!" He looked at me and said, "Who are you,? L know you not.?" I woke up crying. It was the most heartbreaking thing I had ever heard. This was only a dream. I am very sure of my salvation but I do not want anyone to hear those words.
I am sure you have figured out by now brother/sister that God was speaking to you in that dream. Glad you awoke. Now what will you do with/during your awakening? God bless you brother.
@@cosita7479 Believing on the Gospel of Jesus and accepting Him as my Savior. The dream was a spiritual attack trying to get me to doubt my Salvation. I've been a born again Christin since 1958/ Not always a good Christian in my younger days but I am doing much better now.-
You are one of an extreme few if any at all that shares the uncomfortable truths. I thank God for you and your courage to speak these truths! May God continue to bless you. I just shared this with my daughter who doesnt believe in God, Jesus or even the devil!! I hope she watches it and comes to God.
Indeed, the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two edged sword, piercing until it divides soul from spirit, joints from marrow; it is able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.”
This is what compel's me to share the salvation message as much as possible. Eternity Is too long to be wrong! GRACE=God's Riches at CHRIST'S EXPENSE 😇 As the late gifted Pastor Adrian Rogers said: "If you're not RIGHT you will be Left".
Great preaching!! Too many times Pastors preach that lollipop water down doctrine!! Like he said Jesus spoke more on Hell than Heaven and if we call ourselves followers of Christ we have to preach what Jesus preached!! “And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” Matthew 10:28 KJV Read your Bible people!!
Dr. Barnett, I am so glad I found you on TH-cam. I'm so greatful for you speaking how I was raised to believe. I have a question that I pray you see. My dear friend had a horrible abusive childhood and never followed God's word due to the Scientology church his parents belonged to he turned from religion. I prayed for him to become a Christian and tried talking to him about it but he would just brush me off. The last conversation I had with him was when he had his heartattack and was afraid he was going to die. I told him to just know where he was going if that happened and to talk to his Christian fiance for guidance. He passed away shortly afterwards before repenting however, he told her that he wanted to start going to church on a regular basis as soon as they got settled in and even began praying with her. I know he was heading towards the right direction. I just wonder if God read his heart and took him to heaven. Sorry for the long post but it has been bothering me. How can someone get so close to finding Christ but die right before?
Unless a person asks for forgiveness, admitting they've sinned & accepted Jesus as then they are not saved. God is so merciful, knowing our hearts & give us chances to accept Him &truly wants to lose none. You can be sure that the Holy Spirit was working on him & it's possible he accepted Jesus just before he died. I don't know, only God knows. Like you I really hope he did but you can be sure that God gave him every chance.
@@karenmessinger9609 I don't think he ever asked for forgiveness. I don't think he knew to do that. I do know he was heading that way and really wanted to start learning how to be a Christian. I just pray God knows what was in his heart.
Dr. B This is all Roman and Greek myth. Please Christians come to Hasem and know the truth. God Hasem is a loving God. You didn't sign a contract to be born. God needed you to be born. He prepared a good destination for you. Your hell is a Greek myth.
Is there anywhere else John has this video? There are so many ad interruptions I don’t want to share this with people I know who need to hear this message bec of all the distracting ads. This is a great message to share with those who are not yet committed to Christ. Thank you for sharing this much needed message!
You may think you love them now, but when you see them on the other side suffering in Hell, you will know that you didn't really love them. They didn't love God enough to obey and repent, thus they weren't worthy of love. Anyway, it won't put a damper on your heavenly experience. Like I said, you only think you love these people now, but you are simply deceived. Love and hate are easily confused in this world where we don't know anything.
The absents of light in place where the fire never be extinguished we need to reconsider the what the purpose of fire is. It is light and heat. But hell is pitch black means the fire that burns is a dark fire.
A great point that most people in our churches today refuse to look at the truth Jesus spoke but the doctrine of demons ( Live our best life now) everyone knows who these deceivers are!

The part that I struggle with is why is it eternal if they start believing and regretting their past life. I know nobody is a good person in Gods eyes because we all fall short. But there is less evil people who do good deeds for sure and love others, do charity , take care of the poor or animals. Why would those people have eternal suffering incomparision to let's say Nero or Hitler etc. I know there are levels of hell and suffering but still I have trouble with this. It makes me sad because I think about my brother and sister who do not believe anymore. They are no evil people. I don't want to see them go there and definetally not forever. I hope they will re open their eyes on time. But yeah I struggle with this part.
There is no one good only God. There are people who do good things, but that’s not enough. This is the core of what religion is works vs Grace. We have to remind ourselves that God is Holy and pure so how can he let those in that are sinful? He is Righteous and so is His judgment.
I would like to know. To me Hades is the "waiting room" until you get your proper final judgement. Is the lake of fire not the second death? Like in annihilation? Because it says "second death"
If the parable of Lazarus and the rich man is based on truth then it may not be utter darkness if the rich man could see Abraham and Lazarus from far off. But still, no sunlight, nor the light from God, just the flickers from flames...
That was a history, not a parable. The parables were general; this was specific, with names. Also that place was Hades. The final hell is the Lake of Fire, the bottomless pit.

Just think about it, hell must be so horrible that Jesus was willing to die a torturous death all the while mocked as well. Literally hung on the cross and asked the Father to forgive those who were doing the torturing and crucifixion. Praise God he rose from the dead and conquered sin and death!!!
I think back when I was living as a heathen, Id be home stoned n drunk vomiting in the toilet gasping for air. I think that could be like a moment in eternal hell that never ends. Very very terrifying to know that will be many many of humanities eternal reality.
So now you just take immense pleasure in the thought of unsaved people suffering in unbearable agony forever? Instead of owning up to it, you just project these feelings onto a just and unchallengable authority (your Christian God) who said it must be. It's funny how Christians who secretly revel in the idea of others suffering forever in Hell somehow think they have traded in a worldly morality for a more pure and Holy one. This is as purely evil a belief as has ever been held.

I’m waiting to see if Jesus actually says humans will burn in hell forever. He said that about Satan and his demons. Surely he will directly say that about humans if it is true right?
I like Pastor John Pipers assessment of predestination: God determines from eternity who will be saved, who will be lost. But he does it in ways that are mysterious to us so that on that day no one will find any legitimate fault with God. No. The redeemed will know we are saved utterly by grace while deserving hell and the rest will know that they suppressed much knowledge of God’s grace and they deserve to perish.
One thing I heard John Piper say that's not right.....he said that no one knows whether there're truly saved or not until they die and find out. He even said he's not sure because of predestination (the Bible says we can know and can be confident) He definitely said that, but I can't find that particular video anymore, so maybe he's changed that idea.
People tend to forget that we have a LOVING GOD. JESUS is our ticket to Paradise. Without JESUS there is no ticket to Paradise only spiritual destruction.
Trying to get a visual in my mind without ever going to that place how it can be blackness of darkness when there are flames too, flames that consist of light… Guess it’s just my limited human understanding. Regardless, repent and make Christ your Lord and Savior. To be there for trillions of trillions of years knowing it’s a not even a second compared to eternity.
(Mysteries that are hidden in plain sight) This parable of the rich man and Lazarus, “without a parable did He speak to them” had nothing to do with a hell or eternal punishment. When these mysteries of God’s Word was spoken, Jesus would always leave clues. Who was the man with no name, who had five brothers, who was the man with a name, or what prophecy was fulfilled when the dogs came? These clues make It crystal clear what the message of Jesus was. From the pulpit today most, but not all, teach this parable with this implication. If you don’t believe you will burn in hell in eternal torment, forever like the rich man.
Hell is the grave. Death and destroy. Those two words are always used to show the total end of something. Fear not him who can kill the body, fear him who can destroy both body and SOUL in hell. It’s destroyed. Total end not eternal punishment. It’s a nice teaching to get people go to church and give money.
24:00 the wood doesn't perpetually burn forever, it is burnt up and destroyed, just as it says we will be destroyed, not eternal destroying process. Matthew 10:28 says both soul and body can be destroyed, so how can you be tormented forever if both body and soul is destroyed? The punishment is eternal because you cant raise from death, you are dead forever, therefore eternal darkness. And it says the fire is unquenchable, not your suffering. But it still might be eternal torment, because Isaiah 66:24 and Mark 9:48 says their worm will never die. But other than that, the other verses make more sense with annihilationism.
The ALL-LOVING, ALL-MERCIFUL, ALL-JUST God sacrificed HIS only son (HIMSELF) to HIMSELF to neutralize HIS anger at sinners so as to prevent HIMSELF from burning those sinners (whom HE loves as a father loves his children) in Hellfire, screaming and thrashing about forever in agony. How could anyone question that? 🤪
*NO!* The Hades and Gehenna that Christ spoke of did NOT originate with him. Hades and Gehenna were Greek-modified views of the afterlife adopted by Jews during the intertestamental period (1 Enoch; Judith; c.200-100 BC). Christ could not have meant that Hades and Gehenna were real, because he would be denying the Old Testament view of death (cessation of life) and embrace the Hades/Gehenna of the Apocryphal books.
Here are some of Jesus' lesser known teachings about heaven and hell … "The Father loves the Son and has given all things into his hand." (John 3:35) "All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out" (John 6:37) "I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself." (John 12:32) "You have given him [Jesus] authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him [Christ]." (John 17:2)
I believe in more in hell than heaven a lot more hell than on earth and I also believe Jesus suffered on the cross been nailed to the cross and died for us but I also believe in what he said his commandments love one another as yourself, love your brothers and sisters and forgive your enemies and this world would never understand that we are supposed to here for each other and the demons are waiting to tear you apart and beat you badly and not just demons, other evil creatures, one tour to hell will change a person’s life and will wake up
This scares me. I know all those things he just said but where does Jesus draw the line? I'm affraid i'm not good enough. I still live in sin. I struggle with lust and masturbation, however i hate it and I always regret it after I did it.. I try to fight it, pray to overcome it but it's always attacking me because it's a habital sin. I have been fighting this for about 5 to 6 years now that I became really aware of that it's sin( more or less been doing it for about 20 years total). I do believe in Jesus, I speak about Jesus to my girlfriend and friends, people online etc. But this makes me fearful. That Jesus will say I never knew you to me..I struggle so much with this sin and want to overcome but it's so hard . Am i not freed? Is my faith not strong enough? I don't know. All I want is Jesus to know me and I want to know Him.
Because you hate this sin and want to stop, is evidence you are a child of God. You are saved. You now are going through sanctification. You are being conform to the image of Christ. Your flesh is fighting the process. As a Christian you will being the world, the flesh and the devil. But you have the word of God, His Name and the Blood of Christ as weapons. Fast and pray, read the Bible and remove yourself from people and things that will cause you to fall into sexual sin. Are you sleeping with your girlfriend, watching porn etc. These vices will trigger sexual sins. God loves you and wants to deliver you. Also talk to your pastor. Get in a men's group at church. Never give up your fight. Read the Bible and study it. It is medicine for your soul.
I struggle myself with the same sin and I feel bad as well after. It's hard to resist but know this. It's a human trait,all we can do is keep asking for forgiveness, he knows our struggles, Jesus himself was tempted tree times by the devil and he over came it and the devil flee from him we too must resist and when the temptation comes, pray first to the Lord for strength to overcome that desire... remember temptation isn't a sin unless you act on it. Jesus was tempted he didn't act on it he attack back with his words from the word of God.....we're temped by sin if we act on it then we must pray for forgiveness but if resist it,then sin hasn't over taken us brother.
Good talk. That's why we must repent, be baptized in full immersion in the name of Jesus Christ. Then we must recieve the Holy Spirit with the bible evidence of speaking in tongues. Look up Acts 1, the promise of the Holy Spirit that Jesus had told them that was coming called the comforter. Told them to wait in jerusalem. Acts 2:1 the day of pentecost 120 of them including the apostles and his mother Mary were waiting. It was around 9.00 in the morning. The Holy Spirit came as a rushing mighty wind and filled the place where they were sitting. Fire appeared symbolising the Holy Spirit. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance. Then again Acts 10.44 when Peter and some of the Jews went to Cornelius house. While Peter was speaking to Cornelius house hold about Jesus, the Holy Spirit fell on all of them that herd the word. How did they know? For they heard them speak with new tongues and magnify God. Acts 19:1-9. Different time period. Paul the apostle found some of John's disciples. He asked them, have you recieved the Holy Spirit when you believed. They said they didn't know about any Holy Spirit. Then Paul told them about Jesus. They got baptized in the name of Jesus Christ and recieved the Holy Spirit and spoke in tongues. And people are still recieving the Holy Spirit with the bible evidence of speaking in tongues today, it hasn't stopped. Only when Jesus returns will the pouring out of the Holy Spirit cease. Mark 16:15 these signs shall follow them that believe. One of the signs is speaking with new tongues. Read 1Corinthians 14:1- to the end of the chapter. Don't be decieved. Amen.
Jesus talks more about Hell than Heaven because he knows it’s the USP of his pitch. No one can describe a Heaven with universal appeal, but describing a universally repellent Hell is easy.
Nice one John your best sermon ever. I see in the comments there is one who talks of the red heifer?. He must be up for a stew or a hamburger , the bleached bones are the only thing that gets burnt and then the ashes get scattered over the garden ?. But which one ?.

Should any white hairs be found pluck them and glue them to one the end of a branch they have a destiny with the feet of Daniel ?. OH JESUS MY LORD SAVE ME ?. Daniel. Edited ?. Biltong ?. dried meat one inch squares ?.
It is not that some Christians are any less serious about the Bible as God’s Word, but, so they wonder, perhaps there is another way of interpreting the Bible when it comes to the topic of hell, perhaps the proponents of hell are a lot more unbiblical in their position than they ever held possible. Here, then, are some of the Biblical writings against the traditional concept of hell as an eternal place of fire, despair, decay, and conscious torment. 1. The Bible is Ambiguous About Hell The first thing that needs to be noted is that the Bible is actually quite ambiguous about the idea of hell. In the Old Testament, there was little thought about an afterlife in some paradisiacal state of Heaven. When people died, they simply went to Sheol, the place of the dead, where deceased souls remain in what is described as a whispering state (Psalm 6:5; 9:17; 49:14; 139:8). God’s blessings pertained mainly to life while here on Earth (but see Psalm 16:10): Abraham looked for offspring and a promised land here on earth (Genesis 12:1-3). In the New Testament, the Greek notion of Hades pops up here and there (Revelation 1:18; 20:14). Hades is similar to Sheol. It’s a place of no return for the dead. The idea of Hades is tied to that of Greek mythology. Jesus, however, preferred to use the term Gehenna a term that referred to the Valley of Hinnom (cf. Matthew 10:28). Then, in Revelation, there is also a pool of fire in which Hades, unbelievers, the devil, and Antichrist are thrown (Revelation 20). All in all, too many terms and definitions to be able to speak of a clear definition of hell as a clear concept or real tangible place for the dead. 2. The Idea of Eternal Conscious Torment is At Odds With a God of Love It has almost become a cliche: a truly loving and good God cannot possibly tolerate the eternal punishment of sinful beings. While there are all sorts of discussions that can be had around this argument to nuance it, such as the concept of time and eternity or the nature of hell, it is at least true that the idea is quite valid. Can you imagine being in Heaven and then waking up on something like day 6,984,561,884 of your time in Heaven and saying to yourself: “I wonder how my former non-Christian colleague who was an atheist is doing in hell?” This idea is ridiculous. Yet, this is the concept of eternity as the eternal time that those who favor hell as an eternal place of conscious torment use to conceive of hell. Those who oppose this with the argument of a loving God, have a point: such hellish eternal torment is not compatible with a God of pure love. It is too simplistic to think about God (cf. Isaiah 55:8). That is not to say that God cannot be “angry”, or that there cannot be any punishment. It just means that eternal conscious punishment is an unbearable thought, not just to the love of God, but even our simple human love. 3. Jesus Spoke Metaphorically About Judgment It is essential to understand that Jesus’ talk about hell was metaphorical. A great problem for those who take the Bible literally is that they don’t get it when the Bible employs metaphorical, symbolical, or imaginative language. Jesus’ talk about hell is a good point in case. When talking about hell, he spoke about Gehenna (Mark 9:45; Matthew 10:28). Gehenna was common parlance among the Jewish people in that day. Gehenna refers to the Valley of Hinnom which, in Jesus’ time, was the garbage dump in Jerusalem where you could always see smoke from the never-ending fires as well as maggots and worms in whatever was rotting there. So when Jesus warns against ending up in the place where the fires always burn and the worm doesn’t die, he is talking metaphorically about the state of punishment and regret that people will find themselves in if they reject the Son of man. Jesus is not giving some supernatural information about what the place, hell, is really like, but he is warning us of regret more than punishmentt that will be the fate of willful wrongdoers. 4. Hell is a Place For Believers, not Unbelievers This is a very controversial statement of course. But when you look at the teaching of Jesus, who spoke more about hell than anyone else in the Bible, it becomes quickly clear that his audience consisted of believers, not unbelievers. It seems Jesus was concerned that his audience would not take his messages all too seriously. However, the people who listened to him seemed to think they were okay since they belonged to the people of Israel, or, like the Pharisees, to a sect that observed the priestly laws, or, like the priests and the Sadducees, to the group that was actually in power in Israel (cf. Matthew 23:33). An analogy might be a University Professor who suggests the failure of a required course if the students do not learn the material. In the Bible, as soon as non-Jews (Romans, Gentiles, Greeks, let’s say “nonbelievers”) came into the picture, any talk of hell immediately stopped. The Roman Centurion’s faith is praised, the Samaritan woman by the well finds salvation, the Gentile woman who had a demon-possessed daughter is treated according to her faith, but no hell is ever mentioned. That is odd given our ingrained idea that those who have never made a decision for Jesus are destined for hell. Therefore, one could wonder why evangelists today would tempt nonbelievers to make a decision for Jesus by threatening them with hell. That is simply a falsehood. Hell is for believers, i.e., for hypocritical believers. The danger for believers to become hypocritical is ever so great that hell needs to come into the picture. 5. Revelation speaks metaphorically in the Bible, Jesus’ metaphorical language concerning hell is continued in the last book of the New Testament, Revelation. Biblical Scholars know that basically, everything said in this book needs to be taken as imagery, metaphor, and/or symbolism. We know this because Revelation belongs to a particular genre of literature, Apocalyptic literature, in vogue during those days. In Apocalyptic literature, weird beings appear, and the barrier between Heaven and Earth is obliterated. Numbers take on symbolical significance, and places, events, and characters take on a metaphorical function. The metaphor stretches our minds because it connects things we don’t typically connect. In Revelation, it says that the pool of fire will devour death and Hades (Revelation 20:14). Of course, we can’t take this literally. It’s metaphorical. If anything, it might as well mean that the pool of fire will end it all, even eternal torment in hell, since Hades (hell) is thrown into it. In the end, we can only speculate. A most important lesson is that even in an inerrant Bible, the metaphor doesn’t give us infallible knowledge but stretches our imagination and confronts us with mystery without solving it. 6. Belief In Hell is Believing More than Is Revealed Those who reject the notion of eternal torment in a place thought of as hell do so because the Bible does not give enough warrant to believe that such a place with such torment exists or that it should be part of Christian doctrine. Of course, these rejectors don’t think there’s no punishment, no justice, or setting the score straight. Of course, these rejectors have a healthy respect for God’s wrath against iniquity. But they don’t buy the whole eternal-torment-in-hell concept. Believing such a thing is believing more than is revealed and going further than Jesus’ teachings. The Bible warns against adding to the Gospel (Revelation 22:18). On that basis, many a doctrine ought to be removed from Christian theology. Rather, God is a God of Hope for the broken-hearted (Matthew 5:3). There are already enough people who have absolutely no need for hell since they have already lived in it their entire lives. Think of the Yezidi girls in ISIS territory. Generally, they are not Christians and are sold and abused as sex slaves by ISIS. Do you think that God can’t wait to throw them in the actual hell, so many Christians believe hell is prepared for unbelievers once their miserable lives are over? Isn’t it much more likely that the God who cares for widows and orphans is dying (pun intended) to extend his love and comfort to these suffering beings whose lives have been ruined by an evil that does not need hell?
Hell is no more a miracle than the created Intelligent Designed Universe or this life on Earth. Therefore, Hell is real !!! John 3:16, Ephesians 2:8-10. :o) Kent Wilbourne, Ogden, UT.
The lake of fire is GOD’S incinerator Reserved for the devil and his angels. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. At the end those who did not believe will go out of existence. Book of Revelation And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
Ecclesiastes 9:5 & 3:19,20 look again at Psalms 6:5 John 5:28.29 and Psalms 17:15, 1 Corinthians 15:51,52 &*vs 54 Job 14:14 So how can someone be changed from Mortal to Immortal if they are already Immortal..? So what did the deceiver in the garden say: You shall not surely die..! II Peter 2:4 speaking of fallen angels (Tartaros) ... a prison for spirit beings. Mark 9:47,48 ... Gehenna, Hastings dictionary represents Hinnom. Nehemiah 11:30 ... Rev 20:15, refers to the 2nd death, the permanent one after the judgement. For those who did not accept Jesus Christ as our lord and savior. We are not spirit beings, until the resurrection.
This says a lot about a God who creates people to whom he knows will reject him, just to burn them. And this God is a loving God? I'm a sinner you are sinner because Christ's Dad put that tree in the garden and let Adam and Eve decide for us. How is it God is sooooo loving and not willing any should perish but yet so many have died without hearing about Christ. Think of the 1500 years between Christ's death and Columbuses discovery of America. All those people in North and South America lived and died for centuries.... without Jesus.. Why isn't Jesus honest in the Bible? Why doesn't he just come right out and say it. I've come to save you from what I will do to you if you don't accept me. Oh yeah and if it's so dark there then how did Lazarus see Abraham and the Richman? Only evil could come up with a place such as hell to punish anyone who dies a sinner especially seeing how they didn't ask to be born one to begin with. EVIL.... EVIL
Bingo. It isn't possible to hold a more evil belief than the existence of Hell. Especially one sanctioned by a purely good being. There are literally an infinite number of ways to hold people accountable for wrong doing, sin if you like. Christianity picked the two most ridiculous ends of the spectrum, and just said "eh, fucq it. Let's just go with it". The only way to atone for sin is to punish the one innocent man for everyone else? Then if you don't accept this offer, or don't find it credible, or believable you suffer eternally for your lack of credulity?
Do you think it could be possible that the ones that end up in hell Once in turning much more wicked just like their hellish domain. After all we will all received glorified bodies once raptured to be in his presence. What’s to say Satan, Its in his jealous narcissist self absorbed ego He is a counterfeit right?
Jeremiah 19:5 New Century Version (NCV) They have built places on hilltops to worship Baal, where they burn their children in the fire to Baal. That is something I did not command or speak about; it never even entered my mind. This is unthinkable for God to do this Any one being a Christian should understand that the bible does not teach of a eternal hell fire this is distinction of the true religion any religion that teaches this is truly wrong
Look up the definition of lawlessness. There are commands about keeping the Sabbath and following God's Holy Days (not the world's holidays). Read the Bible and do what it says. If you love Him, keep His commandments. It's the way we say, "Thank You!." Only He could pay the price we owe. Repentance is turning from something to something else. The only thing to turn to are His instructions for living a righteous life and following the example of our Savior. Plan on being persecuted by those who say they believe.
Jesus never spoke about "hell" eternal conscious torment.......hell is a mistranslation......4 different words translated into the word HELL, Jesus was not English..... lazurus is a parable. STUDY TO SHEW YOURSELF APPROVED UNTO GOD.
Jesus tells us in Matthew 24:4 "Take heed that no one deceives you". because that is what this video is doing. Satan told Eve in the Garden of Eden "you shall not surely die" Gen 3:4 and he has been telling this lie ever since. The immortality of the soul as prompted by Greek philosophy (Plato & Socrates) has been adopted by most religions in some form or another. But as stated in the bible, God's word is clear that at death the body returns to the earth and the Breath of Life returns to God as stated in Gen 2:7 & 3:19. A living soul requires a body and the breath of God (Ezek 18:4, 20 & Eccl 12:7). Also see Eccl 9:5 & 10. Jesus refers to death as sleep in Mark 5:39, Luke 8:52 & John 11:12-14. There is no one currently burning in hell and there are no bodiless spirits floating around in heaven. The Bible tells us that only 3 human beings were taken by God to heaven: Enoch walked with God (Gen 5:24); God buried Moses and then resurrected him (Duet 34:5-7; Jude 9) & Elijah was translated by God (2Kings 2:1-11). Moses represents all the righteous dead who will be resurrected and Elijah represents the living righteous who be translated without seeing death at the second coming of Jesus as Paul tells us in 1Thess 4:13-18). Don't believe people who try and take a few scriptures like 1Thess 4;14 and twist them to make you think that Christ is going to bring back with him all the spirits that have been supposedly floating around in heaven all this time to reunite them with their bodies. You need to read the whole chapter as Paul is trying to comfort those believers who lost loved ones by telling them that they will be a resurrection for those who sleep in Christ at His second coming. Some scholars suggest that Luke 16:19-31 should be interpreted literally, that is, as describing the state of the dead. But this view would lead to several unbiblical conclusions and would contradict many of the passages that we have already looked at. First, we would have to admit that heaven and hell are close enough to allow a conversation between the dwellers of both places (Luke 16:23-31). We also would have to suppose that in the afterlife, while the body lies in the grave, there remains a conscious form of the spiritual soul with “ ‘eyes,’ ” a “ ‘finger,’ ” a “ ‘tongue,’ ” and which even feels thirst (Luke 16:23, 24). If this passage were a description of the human state in death, then heaven would certainly not be a place of joy and happiness because the saved could closely follow the endless sufferings of their lost loved ones, and even dialogue with them (Luke 16:23-31). How could a mother be happy in heaven while beholding the incessant agonies of her beloved child in hell? In such a context, it would be virtually impossible for God’s promise of no more sorrow, crying, and pain to be fulfilled (Rev. 21:4). Because of such incoherence, many modern biblical scholars regard the story of the rich man and Lazarus as a parable from which not every detail can be interpreted literally. George E. Ladd says that this story was probably “a parable which made use of current Jewish thinking and is not intended to teach anything about the state of the dead.”-G. E. Ladd, “Eschatology,” in The New Bible Dictionary, edited by J. D. Douglas (Grand Rapids, MI: Eerdmans, 1962), p. 388. The parable of the rich man and Lazarus presents a sharp contrast between a well-dressed “ ‘rich man’ ” and “ a certain beggar named Lazarus, full of sores’ ” (Luke 16:19, 20, NKJV). The account teaches that (1) status and social recognition in the present are not the criteria for the future reward, and (2) the eternal destiny of each person is decided in this life and cannot be reversed in the afterlife (Luke 16:25, 26). Please read and study the bible for yourself and do not take a single text out of context. Satan is using movies, TV shows, books, music, etc. confuse and mislead people on the true nature of the state of the dead as stated in God's word. Don't be deceived, your eternal life may depend on it.
In the Bible, it reveals Jesus telling religious people He never knew them. That will never happen to me. Jesus knows me! :o) Why?

It is a shame that this isn't at all about the final state of humanity but about Hades - as the video says is the abode of the *dead* not just the unsaved and is a coverall term which includes paradise/abraham's bosom. It is not "a living immortal soul in the vestibule of the lake of fire" - that is just not in the text and is an imported idea. It is possibly a soul in Hades but Hades is emptied and destroyed in the Lake of Fire in Rev 20 so they cannot be one and the same. Jesus doesn't talk more about hell than heaven. The last book of the bible does not use the word 'gehenna', it is only Jesus and James who uses the word and James only once. This video is just one long sermon of someone imposing a view on the text rather than letting scripture speak.
Up until about 500 A.D., Christian beliefs about hell were reasonable and beautiful. The prevailing view then was that hell (the lake of fire, actually) not only punished but also purified the unrighteous. It was temporary -- each person's finite punishment would fit their finite crimes (sins). (The Greek speaking early church fathers knew that _aionios,_ the Greek word that is mistranslated as "eternal" in most English Bibles, doesn't mean "eternal.") Once a person's punishment and purification were complete, he or she would go to heaven. Everyone would eventually make it into heaven and be blessed, with heavenly rewards varying by person, based on the lives they led. For supporting verses & quotes, see my two replies. Please consider the God honoring and Christ victorious belief of Christian universalism.
Some verses which promise, imply or strongly suggest eventual universal salvation: "As in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive ... God [will] be all in all." (1 Corinthians 15:22,28) "As one trespass [Adam's] led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness [Jesus'] leads to justification and life for all men." (Romans 5:18) "God has committed all to disobedience that he might have mercy on all ... From him and through him and to him are all things." (Romans 11:32,36) "...every knee shall bow to me [God], and every tongue shall confess to God." (Romans 14:11) " ... at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." (Philippians 2:10-11) "And I [Jesus], when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself." (John 12:32) "And every creature which is in heaven and on earth and under the earth I heard saying, 'Blessing and honor and glory and power be to Him who sits upon the throne and to the Lamb forever.'" (Revelation 5:13) "O you who hear prayer, to you shall all flesh come. When iniquities prevail against me, you atone for our transgressions." (Psalm 65:2-3) "All your works shall give thanks to you, O Lord." (Psalm 145:10a) "I will not contend forever, nor will I always be angry; for 'the spirit would grow faint before me, and the breath of life that I made'." (Isaiah 57:16) "The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end. ... " (Lamentations 3:22) Also see John 17:2, Romans 5:19-20, 8:19-21, Ephesians 1:10, Philippians 3:21, Colossians 1:20, 1 Timothy 2:3-6, 4:10, Titus 2:11, 1 Peter 4:6, 1 John 2:2, 4:14, Revelation 15:4, 21:5,24-25, 22:2, combination of (Revelation 22:1,14-15,17a,17c), Psalm 22:27,29, Isaiah 25:6-8, 45:22-25, Lamentations 3:31, Ezekiel 16:53,55, Malachi 3:2-3, The Total Victory of Christ videos.
Most leading early church fathers were Christian universalists: "Christ saves all men. Some he converts by penalties, others who follow Him of their own will ... that every knee may be bent to Him, of those in heaven, on earth, and under the earth" [Isa. 45:22-23, Rom. 14:11, Phil. 2:10-11, Rev. 5:13] -- *Clement of Alexandria,* _Commentary on 1 John_ "When death shall no longer exist, nor the sting of death, nor any evil at all, then, verily, God will be All in all" [1 Cor. 15:28,55] -- *Origen,* _De Principiis 3:6.3_ "What else does 'until the times of universal restoration' signify to us, if not the aeon to come, in which all beings must receive their perfect restoration?" [Acts 3:21] -- *Eusebius,* leading historian of the early church, _Contra Marcellum __2:4:11_ "A few drops of blood renew the whole world, and become for all men that which rennet is for milk, uniting and drawing us into one." [Col. 1:15-20] -- *Gregory Nazianzus,* _Oration 42_ "Christ captured over again the souls captured by the devil, for that He promised in saying, 'I, if I be lifted up, will draw all men unto Me.'" [John 12:32, 1 Peter 3:19-20, 4:6, Psalm 68:18, Eph. 4:8-10, and maybe Matt. 12:29] -- *Athanasius,* _Expositions on the Psalms, 68.18_ "The peace [coming] from the Lord is coextensive with all time [eternity]. For all things shall be subject to him, and all things shall acknowledge his empire; and when God shall be all in all, those who now excite discords by revolts, having been quite pacified, [all things] shall praise God in peaceful concord." [Psalm 145:10a, 1 Cor. 15:28, Rev. 5:13] -- *Basil,* _Commentary on Isaiah 9:6_ "So the Son of Man came to save that which was lost, i.e., all, for as in Adam all die, so, too, in Christ shall all be made alive." [Luke 19:10, 1 Cor. 15:22] -- *Ambrose,* _Exposition on the Gospel of Luke 15.3_ "For the wicked there are punishments not perpetual, ... but they are to be tormented for a certain brief period, according to the amount of malice in their works. They shall therefore suffer punishment for a short space, but immortal blessedness, having no end, awaits them; ... the penalties to be inflicted for their many and grave crimes are very far surpassed by the magnitude of the mercy to be showed them. The resurrection, therefore, is regarded as a blessing, not only to the good, but also to the evil." [Isa. 57:16], *Diodore,* _De Oecon_ "Some among the wise and learned … have alluded to this in an enigmatic way, by adducing that God is not only just, but also merciful, and that it becomes the One who judges with justice to have sinners suffer in a measure that is proportional to their sins and then make them worthy of blessedness." -- *Theodore,* _Liber Scholiorum, 2:63_ "'All the kings of the earth shall adore him.' Some, indeed, in the present life willingly, but all the rest after the Resurrection; for not yet do we see all things subject to him, but then every knee shall bow to him." [The "kings of the earth" are rebellious unbelievers in Rev. 6:15, 17:2,18, 18:3,9, 19:19,21 ... but check out what happens in Rev. 21:24-27!] -- *Theodoret,* _On Psalm 72:11_ "Death shall come as a visitor to the impious; it will not be perpetual; it will not annihilate them; but will prolong its visit, till the impiety which is in them shall be consumed." [Matt. 5:26] -- *Jerome,* _On Micah 5:8_ "After the complete abolition of sin, praise shall be sung to God; which praise contain (implies) our being incapable of turning to sin ... when every created being shall be harmonized into one choir ... and when, like a cymbal, the reasonable creation, and that which is now severed by sin ... shall pour forth a pleasing strain, due to mutual harmony. Then comes the praise of every spirit for ever abounding with increase unto eternity." [Psalm 150] -- *Gregory of Nyssa,* _On Psalms, Tract 1, ch. 9_ Other church fathers who believed in eventual universal salvation include *Asterius, Bardaisan, Cyril of Alexandria, Didymus the Blind, Dionysius, Ephrem the Syrian, Gennadius, Hilary, John Cassian, John Chrysostom, Marcellus, Maximus the Confessor, Maximus of Turin, Methodius, Paulinus, Proclus, Titus of Basra & Victorinus.* Sources: Thomas Allin, _Christ Triumphant,_ Annotated by Robin Parry edition, chapters 4-5, 1905 & Ilaria Ramelli, _A Larger Hope?, Volume 1: Universal Salvation from Christian Beginnings to Julian of Norwich,_ 2019
His name isn't Jesus because in thekir language at that time the letter J didnt even exist in the hebrew alphabet. His name is Yeshua. That being said, by the answering of prayers He knows we are worshiping Him through the translated name we chose to give Him, so it seems He doesn't mind too much. Just seems disrespectful to me, so I call him Christ, our Lord and Master 😁😇🙏
Man instead of preaching about death an gloom bro. Preach about God N Jesus's love just a little. Bro I have watched you for year. Learned alot from ya. Your a great teacher. Just a little more on how I can get to heaven would be nice.
My friend, if this in any way makes you uncomfortable or troubles your conscience, i beg of you to continue to study the Bible and pray. Pray without ceasing. Although this truth is scary and painful to us, it is necessary. There is no Hell without choice. We are not here to comfort and be rainbows and skittles for the lost, we are here to spread the truth and ring the alarm bell to save as many souls as we can before the appointed time. God bless you.
I agree that the love of the Lord should be preached. Jesus however spoke about hell 3 times more than heaven. It's out of love that he doesn't want you to go down. It's out of love that warning after warning saves from hellfire. When I hear love and grace, i feel ashamed from my sin because my heart isnt hardened to the point where i dont receive it but some peoples heart are too hard and the preaching of love and grace goes over their head.but like with any addiction we use love and grace like a crutch. Jesus said when we go out to preach say "Repent! For the kingdom of heaven is at hand!"
Not teaching hell and "sprinkling" christianity or "easy" believism are why so many people are going to end up in hell. Jesus even said - Matthew 7:21-23 - 21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’
@@aporter2689 .. apparently "bro," you need to take heed. Why does the topic "hell" offend you ? Why does the Scriptures (the WORD of GOD) offend you ? You cannot compare osteen and jakes, who are "motivational" and "prosperity gospel" preachers. Pastor's preaching is directly from the WORD of GOD and he provided you with all the relevant Scripture verses. In other words, he did what Almighty GOD is required of him. Take heed, lest it happened like in the days of Noah.
Can't lose our earn Salvation yet you're placing hell upon the shoulders of believers.. Totally Horrible Sermon.. Jesus saved me & you can't change that.. I'm going to Heaven
deceiver preacher... there is no eternal hell -- it is everlasting unquenchable fire, and this fire will eventually and completely destroy the sinners, and the devil will suffer the longest.
Wow! This is the most eye opening, real, honest message I’ve heard in a long time. People do not want to hear it in these end times but we must call on the Holy Spirit to give us the right words and opportunities to get it out there.
This is an older sermon but has stuck with me for years. It really does alter my estimation of sin. Very powerful and eye opening.
Another on-fire message about hell and what happens after death is given by Pastor Charles Lawson. It can be found here on TH-cam.
Can't lose our earn your Salvation🩸✝️🩸 Jesus paid it all.
Yes it's a real eye opener and ask Jesus to forgive your and mine sin. and be cleansed.

This is one of the best messages on the reality of Hell I've heard in a long time! I am so thankful that this ministry is declaring the whole counsel of God.
This is the best sermon ever told to a congregation. This sermon NEEDS to be "broadcast" to/in every church ⛪ congregation in the United States.
I agree 💯 👍!
Ken Copeland is best
@@alexanderalmirer3185 um, no. Kenneth Copeland is one of the worst, and most demon possessed false teachers out there, leading a MULTITUDE of souls straight to this very real hell preached about in this sermon. He even mixed his blood with someone else's in a cup for "communion" - that is WITCHCRAFT!! You can look it up. NONE of his false prophecies have ever come true, as they are not biblical! He preaches a doctrine of demons - I URGE you to stop listening to him!!
Thank you so much for this message. Now, may we be motivated to seek out the lost souls. Ask the Lord of the harvest to send out His workers. Praise Jesus Christ Hallelujah

I share in extreme lower back pain daily. It's hard enough to live with it now & I can't imagine living with the pain through eternity. God gives me the strength daily to get through it but without Him there's definitely no hope.

I think about Hell EVERY DAY. And I get frightened FOR the lost. How could a person NOT think about Hell, knowing it's truth?
They suppress the truth.
@@kurucks, your comment proves that you know NOTHING about God or The Bible... you can THINK you know, all you want. But the truth here is that you can't even handle someone having faith without you trying to disparage them for said faith. Look at you, you're saying things are blatantly false, thinking it's the truth. I don't care what you think. I pray for the Lost. But your comment means NOTHING anymore... you've been WARNED. Now you can believe what you want and mock all you want. The Rapture will happen FIRST, then The Tribulation (Jacob's Trouble)... God's Wrath. Then, if you STILL won't get it, Hell.

All the words translated to hell don't mean hell at all.
I'm a recommitted Christian, after hearing that sermon, though saved I've prayed like I haven't prayed before.
Say what you will about about a hellfire sermon, but nothing makes you appreciate the awaiting splendor in the clouds like flames at your feet. Thank you Jesus!
A few years ago I had a dream. In the dream I had just died . I saw Jesus and said, "Lord, I'm here! I finally made it!" He looked at me and said, "Who are you,? L know you not.?"
I woke up crying. It was the most heartbreaking thing I had ever heard. This was only a dream. I am very sure of my salvation but I do not want anyone to hear those words.
Keep the faith brother! Jesus did everything we just have to continue believing and seek to obey Him
I am sure you have figured out by now brother/sister that God was speaking to you in that dream. Glad you awoke. Now what will you do with/during your awakening? God bless you brother.

I do believe in HELL. I also believe in HEAVEN. Every single word is truth in the Bible. Many thanks MR Barnett. God bless you and your family.......
Every single religion is based on guilt and fear and not connection with your pineal glen. It's says in your Bible
Excellent. This moves me with conviction to share Christ with as many as l can . we're running out of church age time...
Thank God for you pastor John
I have become "cold" towards people that reject GOD/JESUS openly and again and again. It makes me sad to know their future...
Indeed, the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two edged sword, piercing until it divides soul from spirit, joints from marrow; it is able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.”

This is what compel's me to share the salvation message as much as possible.
Eternity Is too long to be wrong! GRACE=God's Riches at CHRIST'S EXPENSE 😇
As the late gifted Pastor Adrian Rogers said: "If you're not RIGHT you will be Left".
My Grandparents church doesn't like talking about Hell, but all churches should.
Great preaching!! Too many times Pastors preach that lollipop water down doctrine!! Like he said Jesus spoke more on Hell than Heaven and if we call ourselves followers of Christ we have to preach what Jesus preached!! “And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.”
Matthew 10:28 KJV
Read your Bible people!!
Dr. Barnett, I am so glad I found you on TH-cam. I'm so greatful for you speaking how I was raised to believe. I have a question that I pray you see. My dear friend had a horrible abusive childhood and never followed God's word due to the Scientology church his parents belonged to he turned from religion. I prayed for him to become a Christian and tried talking to him about it but he would just brush me off. The last conversation I had with him was when he had his heartattack and was afraid he was going to die. I told him to just know where he was going if that happened and to talk to his Christian fiance for guidance. He passed away shortly afterwards before repenting however, he told her that he wanted to start going to church on a regular basis as soon as they got settled in and even began praying with her. I know he was heading towards the right direction. I just wonder if God read his heart and took him to heaven. Sorry for the long post but it has been bothering me. How can someone get so close to finding Christ but die right before?
Unless a person asks for forgiveness, admitting they've sinned & accepted Jesus as then they are not saved. God is so merciful, knowing our hearts & give us chances to accept Him &truly wants to lose none. You can be sure that the Holy Spirit was working on him & it's possible he accepted Jesus just before he died. I don't know, only God knows. Like you I really hope he did but you can be sure that God gave him every chance.
@@karenmessinger9609 I don't think he ever asked for forgiveness. I don't think he knew to do that. I do know he was heading that way and really wanted to start learning how to be a Christian. I just pray God knows what was in his heart.

This is all Roman and Greek myth. Please Christians come to Hasem and know the truth. God Hasem is a loving God. You didn't sign a contract to be born. God needed you to be born. He prepared a good destination for you. Your hell is a Greek myth.
NEED TO HEAR THE REAL GOSPEL!
Is there anywhere else John has this video? There are so many ad interruptions I don’t want to share this with people I know who need to hear this message bec of all the distracting ads.
This is a great message to share with those who are not yet committed to Christ.
Thank you for sharing this much needed message!
I am so concerned for those I love that I pray for each day. I wish you would go with me to tell them of the horrible choice they are making.
You may think you love them now, but when you see them on the other side suffering in Hell, you will know that you didn't really love them. They didn't love God enough to obey and repent, thus they weren't worthy of love.
Anyway, it won't put a damper on your heavenly experience. Like I said, you only think you love these people now, but you are simply deceived. Love and hate are easily confused in this world where we don't know anything.
I am Grateful for this teaching,,,,,,,,,,,
AMEN...
The absents of light in place where the fire never be extinguished we need to reconsider the what the purpose of fire is. It is light and heat. But hell is pitch black means the fire that burns is a dark fire.
The fire is so hot that it lets off no reflective light
Thank you
this is bringing me close to god

A great point that most people in our churches today refuse to look at the truth Jesus spoke but the doctrine of demons ( Live our best life now) everyone knows who these deceivers are!

The part that I struggle with is why is it eternal if they start believing and regretting their past life. I know nobody is a good person in Gods eyes because we all fall short. But there is less evil people who do good deeds for sure and love others, do charity , take care of the poor or animals. Why would those people have eternal suffering incomparision to let's say Nero or Hitler etc. I know there are levels of hell and suffering but still I have trouble with this. It makes me sad because I think about my brother and sister who do not believe anymore. They are no evil people. I don't want to see them go there and definetally not forever. I hope they will re open their eyes on time. But yeah I struggle with this part.

God can't hear you in hell..its too late by then
There is no one good only God. There are people who do good things, but that’s not enough. This is the core of what religion is works vs Grace. We have to remind ourselves that God is Holy and pure so how can he let those in that are sinful? He is Righteous and so is His judgment.
Pastors of all churches in the world including Joel Ostin, Rick Warren must preach on hell like this pastor.
False teachers don’t preach the truth.
I would like to know. To me Hades is the "waiting room" until you get your proper final judgement. Is the lake of fire not the second death? Like in annihilation? Because it says "second death"
If the parable of Lazarus and the rich man is based on truth then it may not be utter darkness if the rich man could see Abraham and Lazarus from far off. But still, no sunlight, nor the light from God, just the flickers from flames...
That was a history, not a parable. The parables were general; this was specific, with names. Also that place was Hades. The final hell is the Lake of Fire, the bottomless pit.

I think back when I was living as a heathen, Id be home stoned n drunk vomiting in the toilet gasping for air. I think that could be like a moment in eternal hell that never ends. Very very terrifying to know that will be many many of humanities eternal reality.
So now you just take immense pleasure in the thought of unsaved people suffering in unbearable agony forever? Instead of owning up to it, you just project these feelings onto a just and unchallengable authority (your Christian God) who said it must be.
It's funny how Christians who secretly revel in the idea of others suffering forever in Hell somehow think they have traded in a worldly morality for a more pure and Holy one. This is as purely evil a belief as has ever been held.

I’m waiting to see if Jesus actually says humans will burn in hell forever. He said that about Satan and his demons. Surely he will directly say that about humans if it is true right?
I like Pastor John Pipers assessment of predestination:
God determines from eternity who will be saved, who will be lost. But he does it in ways that are mysterious to us so that on that day no one will find any legitimate fault with God. No. The redeemed will know we are saved utterly by grace while deserving hell and the rest will know that they suppressed much knowledge of God’s grace and they deserve to perish.
One thing I heard John Piper say that's not right.....he said that no one knows whether there're truly saved or not until they die and find out. He even said he's not sure because of predestination (the Bible says we can know and can be confident) He definitely said that, but I can't find that particular video anymore, so maybe he's changed that idea.
People tend to forget that we have a LOVING GOD.
JESUS is our ticket to
Paradise.
Without JESUS
there is no ticket to

Punishment for coming against a anointed
Trying to get a visual in my mind without ever going to that place how it can be blackness of darkness when there are flames too, flames that consist of light…
Guess it’s just my limited human understanding. Regardless, repent and make Christ your Lord and Savior. To be there for trillions of trillions of years knowing it’s a not even a second compared to eternity.
(Mysteries that are hidden in plain sight) This parable of the rich man and Lazarus, “without a parable did He speak to them” had nothing to do with a hell or eternal punishment. When these mysteries of God’s Word was spoken, Jesus would always leave clues. Who was the man with no name, who had five brothers, who was the man with a name, or what prophecy was fulfilled when the dogs came? These clues make It crystal clear what the message of Jesus was. From the pulpit today most, but not all, teach this parable with this implication. If you don’t believe you will burn in hell in eternal torment, forever like the rich man.
Hell is the grave. Death and destroy. Those two words are always used to show the total end of something. Fear not him who can kill the body, fear him who can destroy both body and SOUL in hell. It’s destroyed. Total end not eternal punishment. It’s a nice teaching to get people go to church and give money.
Have you not read Matthew 25:46?
24:00 the wood doesn't perpetually burn forever, it is burnt up and destroyed, just as it says we will be destroyed, not eternal destroying process. Matthew 10:28 says both soul and body can be destroyed, so how can you be tormented forever if both body and soul is destroyed? The punishment is eternal because you cant raise from death, you are dead forever, therefore eternal darkness. And it says the fire is unquenchable, not your suffering. But it still might be eternal torment, because Isaiah 66:24 and Mark 9:48 says their worm will never die. But other than that, the other verses make more sense with annihilationism.
My friend has made the comment of not believeing in hell, even though we have studied. What to do?

Can I get a transcript of this message please
The ALL-LOVING, ALL-MERCIFUL, ALL-JUST God sacrificed HIS only son (HIMSELF) to HIMSELF to neutralize HIS anger at sinners so as to prevent HIMSELF from burning those sinners (whom HE loves as a father loves his children) in Hellfire, screaming and thrashing about forever in agony. How could anyone question that? 🤪
does anyone of the clip of him talking about the 7 i am and what is apart from them ?
*NO!* The Hades and Gehenna that Christ spoke of did NOT originate with him. Hades and Gehenna were Greek-modified views of the afterlife adopted by Jews during the intertestamental period (1 Enoch; Judith; c.200-100 BC). Christ could not have meant that Hades and Gehenna were real, because he would be denying the Old Testament view of death (cessation of life) and embrace the Hades/Gehenna of the Apocryphal books.
Here are some of Jesus' lesser known teachings about heaven and hell …
"The Father loves the Son and has given all things into his hand." (John 3:35)
"All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out" (John 6:37)
"I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself." (John 12:32)
"You have given him [Jesus] authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him [Christ]." (John 17:2)
I believe in more in hell than heaven a lot more hell than on earth and I also believe Jesus suffered on the cross been nailed to the cross and died for us but I also believe in what he said his commandments love one another as yourself, love your brothers and sisters and forgive your enemies and this world would never understand that we are supposed to here for each other and the demons are waiting to tear you apart and beat you badly and not just demons, other evil creatures, one tour to hell will change a person’s life and will wake up
I fight every day not to go there.
You can't work to get to Heaven 🩸✝️🩸 Jesus did it all...
This scares me. I know all those things he just said but where does Jesus draw the line? I'm affraid i'm not good enough. I still live in sin. I struggle with lust and masturbation, however i hate it and I always regret it after I did it.. I try to fight it, pray to overcome it but it's always attacking me because it's a habital sin. I have been fighting this for about 5 to 6 years now that I became really aware of that it's sin( more or less been doing it for about 20 years total). I do believe in Jesus, I speak about Jesus to my girlfriend and friends, people online etc. But this makes me fearful. That Jesus will say I never knew you to me..I struggle so much with this sin and want to overcome but it's so hard . Am i not freed? Is my faith not strong enough? I don't know. All I want is Jesus to know me and I want to know Him.
Because you hate this sin and want to stop, is evidence you are a child of God. You are saved. You now are going through sanctification. You are being conform to the image of Christ. Your flesh is fighting the process. As a Christian you will being the world, the flesh and the devil. But you have the word of God, His Name and the Blood of Christ as weapons. Fast and pray, read the Bible and remove yourself from people and things that will cause you to fall into sexual sin. Are you sleeping with your girlfriend, watching porn etc. These vices will trigger sexual sins. God loves you and wants to deliver you. Also talk to your pastor. Get in a men's group at church. Never give up your fight. Read the Bible and study it. It is medicine for your soul.
I struggle myself with the same sin and I feel bad as well after. It's hard to resist but know this. It's a human trait,all we can do is keep asking for forgiveness, he knows our struggles, Jesus himself was tempted tree times by the devil and he over came it and the devil flee from him we too must resist and when the temptation comes, pray first to the Lord for strength to overcome that desire... remember temptation isn't a sin unless you act on it. Jesus was tempted he didn't act on it he attack back with his words from the word of God.....we're temped by sin if we act on it then we must pray for forgiveness but if resist it,then sin hasn't over taken us brother.
You're not good enough🩸✝️🩸 Jesus is... Those Preacher is twisting scripture.. Jesus paid it all .. Trust Jesus
Good talk. That's why we must repent, be baptized in full immersion in the name of Jesus Christ. Then we must recieve the Holy Spirit with the bible evidence of speaking in tongues. Look up Acts 1, the promise of the Holy Spirit that Jesus had told them that was coming called the comforter. Told them to wait in jerusalem. Acts 2:1 the day of pentecost 120 of them including the apostles and his mother Mary were waiting. It was around 9.00 in the morning. The Holy Spirit came as a rushing mighty wind and filled the place where they were sitting. Fire appeared symbolising the Holy Spirit. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance. Then again Acts 10.44 when Peter and some of the Jews went to Cornelius house. While Peter was speaking to Cornelius house hold about Jesus, the Holy Spirit fell on all of them that herd the word. How did they know? For they heard them speak with new tongues and magnify God. Acts 19:1-9. Different time period. Paul the apostle found some of John's disciples. He asked them, have you recieved the Holy Spirit when you believed. They said they didn't know about any Holy Spirit. Then Paul told them about Jesus. They got baptized in the name of Jesus Christ and recieved the Holy Spirit and spoke in tongues. And people are still recieving the Holy Spirit with the bible evidence of speaking in tongues today, it hasn't stopped. Only when Jesus returns will the pouring out of the Holy Spirit cease. Mark 16:15 these signs shall follow them that believe. One of the signs is speaking with new tongues. Read 1Corinthians 14:1- to the end of the chapter. Don't be decieved. Amen.
Jesus talks more about Hell than Heaven because he knows it’s the USP of his pitch. No one can describe a Heaven with universal appeal, but describing a universally repellent Hell is easy.

It is not that some Christians are any less serious about the Bible as God’s Word, but, so they wonder, perhaps there is another way of interpreting the Bible when it comes to the topic of hell, perhaps the proponents of hell are a lot more unbiblical in their position than they ever held possible.
Here, then, are some of the Biblical writings against the traditional concept of hell as an eternal place of fire, despair, decay, and conscious torment.
1. The Bible is Ambiguous About Hell The first thing that needs to be noted is that the Bible is actually quite ambiguous about the idea of hell.
In the Old Testament, there was little thought about an afterlife in some paradisiacal state of Heaven. When people died, they simply went to Sheol, the place of the dead, where deceased souls remain in what is described as a whispering state (Psalm 6:5; 9:17; 49:14; 139:8).
God’s blessings pertained mainly to life while here on Earth (but see Psalm 16:10): Abraham looked for offspring and a promised land here on earth (Genesis 12:1-3).
In the New Testament, the Greek notion of Hades pops up here and there (Revelation 1:18; 20:14). Hades is similar to Sheol. It’s a place of no return for the dead. The idea of Hades is tied to that of Greek mythology.
Jesus, however, preferred to use the term Gehenna a term that referred to the Valley of Hinnom (cf. Matthew 10:28).
Then, in Revelation, there is also a pool of fire in which Hades, unbelievers, the devil, and Antichrist are thrown (Revelation 20).
All in all, too many terms and definitions to be able to speak of a clear definition of hell as a clear concept or real tangible place for the dead.
2. The Idea of Eternal Conscious Torment is At Odds With a God of Love It has almost become a cliche: a truly loving and good God cannot possibly tolerate the eternal punishment of sinful beings.
While there are all sorts of discussions that can be had around this argument to nuance it, such as the concept of time and eternity or the nature of hell, it is at least true that the idea is quite valid.
Can you imagine being in Heaven and then waking up on something like day 6,984,561,884 of your time in Heaven and saying to yourself: “I wonder how my former non-Christian colleague who was an atheist is doing in hell?”
This idea is ridiculous.
Yet, this is the concept of eternity as the eternal time that those who favor hell as an eternal place of conscious torment use to conceive of hell.
Those who oppose this with the argument of a loving God, have a point: such hellish eternal torment is not compatible with a God of pure love.
It is too simplistic to think about God (cf. Isaiah 55:8).
That is not to say that God cannot be “angry”, or that there cannot be any punishment. It just means that eternal conscious punishment is an unbearable thought, not just to the love of God, but even our simple human love.
3. Jesus Spoke Metaphorically About Judgment It is essential to understand that
Jesus’ talk about hell was metaphorical.
A great problem for those who take the Bible literally is that they don’t get it when the Bible employs metaphorical, symbolical, or imaginative language.
Jesus’ talk about hell is a good point in case. When talking about hell, he spoke about Gehenna (Mark 9:45; Matthew 10:28). Gehenna was common parlance among the Jewish people in that day.
Gehenna refers to the Valley of Hinnom which, in Jesus’ time, was the garbage dump in Jerusalem where you could always see smoke from the never-ending fires as well as maggots and worms in whatever was rotting there.
So when Jesus warns against ending up in the place where the fires always burn and the worm doesn’t die, he is talking metaphorically about the state of punishment and regret that people will find themselves in if they reject the Son of man.
Jesus is not giving some supernatural information about what the place, hell, is really like, but he is warning us of regret more than punishmentt that will be the fate of willful wrongdoers.
4. Hell is a Place For Believers, not Unbelievers
This is a very controversial statement of course. But when you look at the teaching of Jesus, who spoke more about hell than anyone else in the Bible, it becomes quickly clear that his audience consisted of believers, not unbelievers.
It seems Jesus was concerned that his audience would not take his messages all too seriously. However, the people who listened to him seemed to think they were okay since they belonged to the people of Israel, or, like the Pharisees, to a sect that observed the priestly laws, or, like the priests and the Sadducees, to the group that was actually in power in Israel (cf. Matthew 23:33). An analogy might be a University Professor who suggests the failure of a required course if the students do not learn the material.
In the Bible, as soon as non-Jews (Romans, Gentiles, Greeks, let’s say “nonbelievers”) came into the picture, any talk of hell immediately stopped.
The Roman Centurion’s faith is praised, the Samaritan woman by the well finds salvation, the Gentile woman who had a demon-possessed daughter is treated according to her faith, but no hell is ever mentioned.
That is odd given our ingrained idea that those who have never made a decision for Jesus are destined for hell.
Therefore, one could wonder why evangelists today would tempt nonbelievers to make a decision for Jesus by threatening them with hell.
That is simply a falsehood.
Hell is for believers, i.e., for hypocritical believers.
The danger for believers to become hypocritical is ever so great that hell needs to come into the picture.
5. Revelation speaks metaphorically in the Bible, Jesus’ metaphorical language concerning hell is continued in the last book of the New Testament, Revelation.
Biblical Scholars know that basically, everything said in this book needs to be taken as imagery, metaphor, and/or symbolism. We know this because Revelation belongs to a particular genre of literature, Apocalyptic literature, in vogue during those days.
In Apocalyptic literature, weird beings appear, and the barrier between Heaven and Earth is obliterated. Numbers take on symbolical significance, and places, events, and characters take on a metaphorical function.
The metaphor stretches our minds because it connects things we don’t typically connect. In Revelation, it says that the pool of fire will devour death and Hades (Revelation 20:14).
Of course, we can’t take this literally. It’s metaphorical. If anything, it might as well mean that the pool of fire will end it all, even eternal torment in hell, since Hades (hell) is thrown into it.
In the end, we can only speculate.
A most important lesson is that even in an inerrant Bible, the metaphor doesn’t give us infallible knowledge but stretches our imagination and confronts us with mystery without solving it.
6. Belief In Hell is Believing More than Is Revealed
Those who reject the notion of eternal torment in a place thought of as hell do so because the Bible does not give enough warrant to believe that such a place with such torment exists or that it should be part of Christian doctrine.
Of course, these rejectors don’t think there’s no punishment, no justice, or setting the score straight.
Of course, these rejectors have a healthy respect for God’s wrath against iniquity.
But they don’t buy the whole eternal-torment-in-hell concept.
Believing such a thing is believing more than is revealed and going further than Jesus’ teachings.
The Bible warns against adding to the Gospel (Revelation 22:18).
On that basis, many a doctrine ought to be removed from Christian theology.
Rather, God is a God of Hope for the broken-hearted (Matthew 5:3).
There are already enough people who have absolutely no need for hell since they have already lived in it their entire lives.
Think of the Yezidi girls in ISIS territory.
Generally, they are not Christians and are sold and abused as sex slaves by ISIS.
Do you think that God can’t wait to throw them in the actual hell, so many Christians believe hell is prepared for unbelievers once their miserable lives are over?
Isn’t it much more likely that the God who cares for widows and orphans is dying (pun intended) to extend his love and comfort to these suffering beings whose lives have been ruined by an evil that does not need hell?
Hell is no more a miracle than the created Intelligent Designed Universe or this life on Earth. Therefore, Hell is real !!! John 3:16, Ephesians 2:8-10. :o) Kent Wilbourne, Ogden, UT.
The lake of fire is GOD’S incinerator
Reserved for the devil and his angels.
And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire.
At the end those who did not believe will go out of existence.
Book of Revelation
And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
Ecclesiastes 9:5 & 3:19,20 look again at Psalms 6:5 John 5:28.29 and Psalms 17:15, 1 Corinthians 15:51,52 &*vs 54 Job 14:14 So how can someone be changed from Mortal to Immortal if they are already Immortal..? So what did the deceiver in the garden say: You shall not surely die..! II Peter 2:4 speaking of fallen angels (Tartaros) ... a prison for spirit beings. Mark 9:47,48 ... Gehenna, Hastings dictionary represents Hinnom. Nehemiah 11:30 ... Rev 20:15, refers to the 2nd death, the permanent one after the judgement. For those who did not accept Jesus Christ as our lord and savior. We are not spirit beings, until the resurrection.
This says a lot about a God who creates people to whom he knows will reject him, just to burn them. And this God is a loving God?
I'm a sinner you are sinner because Christ's Dad put that tree in the garden and let Adam and Eve decide for us.
How is it God is sooooo loving and not willing any should perish but yet so many have died without hearing about Christ.
Think of the 1500 years between Christ's death and Columbuses discovery of America. All those people in North and South America lived and died for centuries.... without Jesus..
Why isn't Jesus honest in the Bible? Why doesn't he just come right out and say it. I've come to save you from what I will do to you if you don't accept me.
Oh yeah and if it's so dark there then how did Lazarus see Abraham and the Richman?
Only evil could come up with a place such as hell to punish anyone who dies a sinner especially seeing how they didn't ask to be born one to begin with.
EVIL.... EVIL
Bingo. It isn't possible to hold a more evil belief than the existence of Hell. Especially one sanctioned by a purely good being.
There are literally an infinite number of ways to hold people accountable for wrong doing, sin if you like. Christianity picked the two most ridiculous ends of the spectrum, and just said "eh, fucq it. Let's just go with it". The only way to atone for sin is to punish the one innocent man for everyone else? Then if you don't accept this offer, or don't find it credible, or believable you suffer eternally for your lack of credulity?
Do you think it could be possible that the ones that end up in hell
Once in turning much more wicked just like their hellish domain. After all we will all received glorified bodies
once raptured to be in his presence. What’s to say Satan, Its in his jealous narcissist self absorbed ego He is a counterfeit right?
Jeremiah 19:5 New Century Version (NCV)
They have built places on hilltops to worship Baal, where they burn their children in the fire to Baal. That is something I did not command or speak about; it never even entered my mind.
This is unthinkable for God to do this
Any one being a Christian should understand that the bible does not teach of a eternal hell fire this is distinction of the true religion any religion that teaches this is truly wrong
Look up the definition of lawlessness. There are commands about keeping the Sabbath and following God's Holy Days (not the world's holidays). Read the Bible and do what it says. If you love Him, keep His commandments. It's the way we say, "Thank You!." Only He could pay the price we owe. Repentance is turning from something to something else. The only thing to turn to are His instructions for living a righteous life and following the example of our Savior. Plan on being persecuted by those who say they believe.

Jesus never spoke about "hell" eternal conscious torment.......hell is a mistranslation......4 different words translated into the word HELL, Jesus was not English..... lazurus is a parable. STUDY TO SHEW YOURSELF APPROVED UNTO GOD.
Jesus tells us in Matthew 24:4 "Take heed that no one deceives you". because that is what this video is doing. Satan told Eve in the Garden of Eden "you shall not surely die" Gen 3:4 and he has been telling this lie ever since. The immortality of the soul as prompted by Greek philosophy (Plato & Socrates) has been adopted by most religions in some form or another. But as stated in the bible, God's word is clear that at death the body returns to the earth and the Breath of Life returns to God as stated in Gen 2:7 & 3:19. A living soul requires a body and the breath of God (Ezek 18:4, 20 & Eccl 12:7). Also see Eccl 9:5 & 10. Jesus refers to death as sleep in Mark 5:39, Luke 8:52 & John 11:12-14. There is no one currently burning in hell and there are no bodiless spirits floating around in heaven. The Bible tells us that only 3 human beings were taken by God to heaven: Enoch walked with God (Gen 5:24); God buried Moses and then resurrected him (Duet 34:5-7; Jude 9) & Elijah was translated by God (2Kings 2:1-11). Moses represents all the righteous dead who will be resurrected and Elijah represents the living righteous who be translated without seeing death at the second coming of Jesus as Paul tells us in 1Thess 4:13-18).
Don't believe people who try and take a few scriptures like 1Thess 4;14 and twist them to make you think that Christ is going to bring back with him all the spirits that have been supposedly floating around in heaven all this time to reunite them with their bodies. You need to read the whole chapter as Paul is trying to comfort those believers who lost loved ones by telling them that they will be a resurrection for those who sleep in Christ at His second coming.
Some scholars suggest that Luke 16:19-31 should be interpreted
literally, that is, as describing the state of the dead. But this view would
lead to several unbiblical conclusions and would contradict many of the
passages that we have already looked at.
First, we would have to admit that heaven and hell are close enough
to allow a conversation between the dwellers of both places (Luke
16:23-31). We also would have to suppose that in the afterlife, while
the body lies in the grave, there remains a conscious form of the spiritual soul with “ ‘eyes,’ ” a “ ‘finger,’ ” a “ ‘tongue,’ ” and which even
feels thirst (Luke 16:23, 24).
If this passage were a description of the human state in death, then
heaven would certainly not be a place of joy and happiness because the
saved could closely follow the endless sufferings of their lost loved ones,
and even dialogue with them (Luke 16:23-31). How could a mother be
happy in heaven while beholding the incessant agonies of her beloved
child in hell? In such a context, it would be virtually impossible for God’s
promise of no more sorrow, crying, and pain to be fulfilled (Rev. 21:4).
Because of such incoherence, many modern biblical scholars regard
the story of the rich man and Lazarus as a parable from which not
every detail can be interpreted literally. George E. Ladd says that this story was probably
“a parable which made use of current Jewish thinking and is
not intended to teach anything about the state of the dead.”-G. E. Ladd,
“Eschatology,” in The New Bible Dictionary, edited by J. D. Douglas
(Grand Rapids, MI: Eerdmans, 1962), p. 388.
The parable of the rich man and Lazarus presents a sharp contrast
between a well-dressed “ ‘rich man’ ” and “ a certain beggar named
Lazarus, full of sores’ ” (Luke 16:19, 20, NKJV). The account teaches
that (1) status and social recognition in the present are not the criteria for
the future reward, and (2) the eternal destiny of each person is decided in
this life and cannot be reversed in the afterlife (Luke 16:25, 26).
Please read and study the bible for yourself and do not take a single text out of context. Satan is using movies, TV shows, books, music, etc. confuse and mislead people on the true nature of the state of the dead as stated in God's word. Don't be deceived, your eternal life may depend on it.
In the Bible, it reveals Jesus telling religious people He never knew them. That will never happen to me. Jesus knows me! :o) Why?

It is a shame that this isn't at all about the final state of humanity but about Hades - as the video says is the abode of the *dead* not just the unsaved and is a coverall term which includes paradise/abraham's bosom. It is not "a living immortal soul in the vestibule of the lake of fire" - that is just not in the text and is an imported idea. It is possibly a soul in Hades but Hades is emptied and destroyed in the Lake of Fire in Rev 20 so they cannot be one and the same.
Jesus doesn't talk more about hell than heaven.
The last book of the bible does not use the word 'gehenna', it is only Jesus and James who uses the word and James only once.
This video is just one long sermon of someone imposing a view on the text rather than letting scripture speak.
Jesus spoke more Hell than He did about Heaven, The Bible explains a lot about Hell..So 🐝 warned.
Up until about 500 A.D., Christian beliefs about hell were reasonable and beautiful. The prevailing view then was that hell (the lake of fire, actually) not only punished but also purified the unrighteous. It was temporary -- each person's finite punishment would fit their finite crimes (sins). (The Greek speaking early church fathers knew that _aionios,_ the Greek word that is mistranslated as "eternal" in most English Bibles, doesn't mean "eternal.") Once a person's punishment and purification were complete, he or she would go to heaven. Everyone would eventually make it into heaven and be blessed, with heavenly rewards varying by person, based on the lives they led.

Most leading early church fathers were Christian universalists:
"Christ saves all men. Some he converts by penalties, others who follow Him of their own will ... that every knee may be bent to Him, of those in heaven, on earth, and under the earth" [Isa. 45:22-23, Rom. 14:11, Phil. 2:10-11, Rev. 5:13] -- *Clement of Alexandria,* _Commentary on 1 John_
"When death shall no longer exist, nor the sting of death, nor any evil at all, then, verily, God will be All in all" [1 Cor. 15:28,55] -- *Origen,* _De Principiis 3:6.3_
"What else does 'until the times of universal restoration' signify to us, if not the aeon to come, in which all beings must receive their perfect restoration?" [Acts 3:21] -- *Eusebius,* leading historian of the early church, _Contra Marcellum __2:4:11_
"A few drops of blood renew the whole world, and become for all men that which rennet is for milk, uniting and drawing us into one." [Col. 1:15-20] -- *Gregory Nazianzus,* _Oration 42_
"Christ captured over again the souls captured by the devil, for that He promised in saying, 'I, if I be lifted up, will draw all men unto Me.'" [John 12:32, 1 Peter 3:19-20, 4:6, Psalm 68:18, Eph. 4:8-10, and maybe Matt. 12:29] -- *Athanasius,* _Expositions on the Psalms, 68.18_
"The peace [coming] from the Lord is coextensive with all time [eternity]. For all things shall be subject to him, and all things shall acknowledge his empire; and when God shall be all in all, those who now excite discords by revolts, having been quite pacified, [all things] shall praise God in peaceful concord." [Psalm 145:10a, 1 Cor. 15:28, Rev. 5:13] -- *Basil,* _Commentary on Isaiah 9:6_
"So the Son of Man came to save that which was lost, i.e., all, for as in Adam all die, so, too, in Christ shall all be made alive." [Luke 19:10, 1 Cor. 15:22] -- *Ambrose,* _Exposition on the Gospel of Luke 15.3_
"For the wicked there are punishments not perpetual, ... but they are to be tormented for a certain brief period, according to the amount of malice in their works. They shall therefore suffer punishment for a short space, but immortal blessedness, having no end, awaits them; ... the penalties to be inflicted for their many and grave crimes are very far surpassed by the magnitude of the mercy to be showed them. The resurrection, therefore, is regarded as a blessing, not only to the good, but also to the evil." [Isa. 57:16], *Diodore,* _De Oecon_
"Some among the wise and learned … have alluded to this in an enigmatic way, by adducing that God is not only just, but also merciful, and that it becomes the One who judges with justice to have sinners suffer in a measure that is proportional to their sins and then make them worthy of blessedness." -- *Theodore,* _Liber Scholiorum, 2:63_
"'All the kings of the earth shall adore him.' Some, indeed, in the present life willingly, but all the rest after the Resurrection; for not yet do we see all things subject to him, but then every knee shall bow to him." [The "kings of the earth" are rebellious unbelievers in Rev. 6:15, 17:2,18, 18:3,9, 19:19,21 ... but check out what happens in Rev. 21:24-27!] -- *Theodoret,* _On Psalm 72:11_
"Death shall come as a visitor to the impious; it will not be perpetual; it will not annihilate them; but will prolong its visit, till the impiety which is in them shall be consumed." [Matt. 5:26] -- *Jerome,* _On Micah 5:8_
"After the complete abolition of sin, praise shall be sung to God; which praise contain (implies) our being incapable of turning to sin ... when every created being shall be harmonized into one choir ... and when, like a cymbal, the reasonable creation, and that which is now severed by sin ... shall pour forth a pleasing strain, due to mutual harmony. Then comes the praise of every spirit for ever abounding with increase unto eternity." [Psalm 150] -- *Gregory of Nyssa,* _On Psalms, Tract 1, ch. 9_
Other church fathers who believed in eventual universal salvation include *Asterius, Bardaisan, Cyril of Alexandria, Didymus the Blind, Dionysius, Ephrem the Syrian, Gennadius, Hilary, John Cassian, John Chrysostom, Marcellus, Maximus the Confessor, Maximus of Turin, Methodius, Paulinus, Proclus, Titus of Basra & Victorinus.*

His name isn't Jesus because in thekir language at that time the letter J didnt even exist in the hebrew alphabet. His name is Yeshua. That being said, by the answering of prayers He knows we are worshiping Him through the translated name we chose to give Him, so it seems He doesn't mind too much. Just seems disrespectful to me, so I call him Christ, our Lord and Master 😁😇🙏
😎
Well I guess that makes sense because it doesn't exist until the new testament
Works based SALVATION scripture twisting
So if he’ll is eternal punishment then everyone gets eternal life.
Yep but they don’t have an answer for that one.
Why is all the words translated to hell don't mean hell at all.
Man instead of preaching about death an gloom bro. Preach about God N Jesus's love just a little. Bro I have watched you for year. Learned alot from ya. Your a great teacher. Just a little more on how I can get to heaven would be nice.
Apparently, “bro”…you haven’t read the Bible then? Maybe? Joel Olsteen or T. D Jake’s sounds more up your “ convenient theories for you”
My friend, if this in any way makes you uncomfortable or troubles your conscience, i beg of you to continue to study the Bible and pray. Pray without ceasing. Although this truth is scary and painful to us, it is necessary. There is no Hell without choice. We are not here to comfort and be rainbows and skittles for the lost, we are here to spread the truth and ring the alarm bell to save as many souls as we can before the appointed time. God bless you.
I agree that the love of the Lord should be preached. Jesus however spoke about hell 3 times more than heaven. It's out of love that he doesn't want you to go down. It's out of love that warning after warning saves from hellfire. When I hear love and grace, i feel ashamed from my sin because my heart isnt hardened to the point where i dont receive it but some peoples heart are too hard and the preaching of love and grace goes over their head.but like with any addiction we use love and grace like a crutch. Jesus said when we go out to preach say "Repent! For the kingdom of heaven is at hand!"
Not teaching hell and "sprinkling" christianity or "easy" believism are why so many people are going to end up in hell. Jesus even said - Matthew 7:21-23 - 21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’
@@aporter2689 .. apparently "bro," you need to take heed. Why does the topic "hell" offend you ? Why does the Scriptures (the WORD of GOD) offend you ?
You cannot compare osteen and jakes, who are "motivational" and "prosperity gospel" preachers.
Pastor's preaching is directly from the WORD of GOD and he provided you with all the relevant Scripture verses. In other words, he did what Almighty GOD is required of him.
Take heed, lest it happened like in the days of Noah.
Can't lose our earn Salvation yet you're placing hell upon the shoulders of believers.. Totally Horrible Sermon.. Jesus saved me & you can't change that.. I'm going to Heaven
deceiver preacher...
there is no eternal hell -- it is everlasting unquenchable fire, and this fire will eventually and completely destroy the sinners, and the devil will suffer the longest.
We are all God we can create eternal life
🤣🤣🤣
