THESE WILL GO AWAY INTO ETERNAL PUNISHMENT [FRIDAY FIRE 86]

by 6 Comments

These days we see many leaders writing and speaking about hell…and the lake of fire. There’s a growing list of good men who are saints of God who now proclaim that unbelievers are thrown into the lake of fire but then after some punishment, are annihilated. That is, burned up and extinguished. They quote many passages in the Old and New Testament that use terminology of this type.

So, from my watching their teaching, they seem to mean a temporary punishment, that is, punishment that lasts for a while. In some cases, they seem to mean a short while. In most cases, they never declare how temporary it might be in their opinion.

Few of us can imagine a loving God that would punish, that is, torment human beings forever and ever. But…God is not like us in many ways. We are created in His image we know, but still many of His attributes and their intensity are all together unlike us.

In Matthew 25 in the parable of the sheep and goats, people are separated based on their [Read more…]

ERASING HELL: MY WAYS ARE NOT YOUR WAYS – HUMANS CAN’T AFFORD TO GET THIS WRONG – A SHORT VIDEO – BY FRANCIS CHEN [AT THE BATTLE FRONT 101]

by 6 Comments

Brothers and sisters,

The Creator God is so high, so lofty, so humble, so loving, so merciful, and even so wrathful and angry that we humans, His crowning achievement as His bride, can never know Him completely on this side on heaven.

Yet, as He chooses to live in the hearts of creatures that still sin, we look through a glass darkly as we gain more and more insight into His heart…and His terrible wrath.

Certain messages from the brethren resonate in ways few do, and this is one of them. Our brother Francis Chen seeks to describe the indescribable in this short video…

…if God, the infinite God who hides oak trees in acorns, who turns drunken, drug invested rapists into tender, tear stained evangelists, who places more molecules in one glass of water than all the grains of sand on all the earth’s beaches…

…if this God chooses to create a place so magnificent as heaven, can He not create a place of eternal torment and pain for those arrogant creatures that blatantly resisted His free gift that cost this other worldly God His very Son’s torture, murder and ultimate degrading humiliation on that tree?

HELL – WHAT CAN WE KNOW ABOUT IT & GOD? [RIGHTLY DIVIDING THE WORD 6]

by Leave a Comment

Is was a heinous crime. Hideous. Unspeakable. Atrocious.

A child molester rapes, tortures, slowly kills a young precious female toddler, and casually burns her mutilated body. You see the news, and the tears and anguish of the family. Your heart cries for justice. Justice.

The perpetrator is caught, convicted and sent to prison for life, isolated from the general prison population for his ‘safety.’ The prosecution had DNA evidence but the jury thought it too ‘harsh’ to convict for the death penalty.

So, does your heart cry out for justice for the little girl in a case like this?

Then one day you read that the molester somehow was isolated in the prison during a work detail, and viciously murdered by a group of inmates for this crime. Did you secretly feel satisfaction when the molester was murdered? Did it feel ‘right?’

Whether it’s this sad soul, or Osama Bin Laden, there’s something in human beings made in the image of God that yearns for the rightness of things as they should be. Heaven on earth, so to speak.

So, then, is there a hell? And if so, what does God say about it, if anything? Why did He create it? What can the ‘bad’ people expect?

God’s Mind and His Word – High or Low?

It’s vital to set a firm foundation before we pursue the idea of hell. Don’t skip this part. Stay with me, please, for a minute or two.

People in God’s churches say things all the time about God and His kingdom that have no basis in truth. But how would you know? It might sound good. You may have learned it, as I often did, in a church meeting by folks that were convincing.

In the end, we have only one Truth as a guide. The Word of God, Jesus, His preserved written scriptures, and the voice of the Holy Spirit and His teachers to interpret and apply in our day and age. In this, the mind of God is known, and we can live fruitfully in holiness day by day. That is His way through the ions of recorded time.

So, now. Big question for you.  [Read more…]
