irokobest:

the bible speaks about heaven,moon,stars, sea earth and their locations but the location of your so called hellfire which ought to be the reward of the unfaithfuls according to u cannot be located either in heaven, earth, nor under the earth. guy wake up, read ur bible well u 'll see that these fake pastors that are out for money had either realise therir error and stop preaching it or they now dumped it cos it is not a good marketing preaching to their devil given busness.
Do you have a Bible downloaded on ur phone? Go to search and type Hell. Can you see that I didn't invent the word, so no point ur saying my so-called hell.
That you don't believe in a thing doesn't make it less real. Some folks don't still agree that AIDS is real until....
I preach and teach that there is eternal heaven and hell. I am not fake, I am not a pastor and I am not after your money. Keep the money to urself. I am just delivering a message: warn you that there is hell!

Question: Who goes to hell?

nep2ra: Question: Who goes to hell?
If you believe the words in the bible, read Psalm 9:17. If you don't, then pray.

nep2ra: Question: Who goes to hell?

Hell is prepared for the devil and his demons- but it is so unfortunate men have decided to submit to devil and follow him-

Jesus came to get us back from the Devil(and wash us clean from our sinful nature which we inherited from adam) and until we submit our self to Jesus and accept Him as our Lord and saviour,we will end up in hell; all wicked people will end up in hell if they don't change and accept God's offer of salvation-JESUS.
(no way forward after death)

I wish, for the sake of people like you, that what you wrote is true. You must be right that I'm really dumb but I am yet to see or read about the enlightened discoveries that prove with massive and conclusive evidence that there's no after-life. In fact, I see and read so much that strengthen my belief that these things are real.
Don't worry abt some of us that wish to err on the side of caution. Better to believe and live like there is heaven to gain and die with such hope than to keep denying and die and see that it is real. Better safe than sorry!

Omo_Tier1: Jesus never sent you to preach about Hell! When He was about leaving to meet our God, He said..."Go yea into all nations and preach THE GOSPEL..." Gospel means the good news of the salvation which God has brought to humanity without prejudice.

No man will ever get saved by the threat of a message of Hell fire, rather, Gods redeeming works and His power to save is in the message of repentance unto righteous by accepting the ULTIMATE sacrifice of Jesus, wherein His blood was shed on the cross and His body broken that ALL man may no longer live under the bondage of sin, death and grave.

I repeat, the message of Hell fire will never set any man free from the bondage of sin and death so why not preach JESUS and let the HOLY SPIRIT convict that soul and set them free for eternity in Christ?

Nawa ooh.
So you sabi Bible like this!

d bible av literal n figurative meanings. Wen d bible is talking about hell, lake of fire it mean TOTAL DESTRUCTION. Dis a total anihilation of d wicked ones(psalm 3;9,10). U can visit any of any of JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES in ur locality 4 more xplanation.

ZACHIE: Except perhaps in a few old generation churches, it is hard to hear any pastor talk about hellfire, lately.
is it that the topic is no longer true, or it is not contemporaneous?

If they don't preach then u should preach about it coz the word of God is not ment to be preached by some people.

mazaje:

I used to be petrified by this movie when I first watched it as a young teenager, my mum actually used it to convert us to christianity from islam. . .I was SO AFRAID of this thrash back it the days. . .Its so obvious that this nonsense drama will not even scare the kids of today. . .I repeat the hell myth does not make sense or sound as a just system to many christians any more. It sounds sadistic and immoral, only the very fundamentalist deluded ones still believe in the hell myth, evenamongst them they have erected their own ideas about it because it still doesn't make sense to many of them. . .

I was watching the god TV about few years(2-3) ago when i went visiting a friend in his house, a guy was on TV and was explaining the concept of hell to his audience, he was saying that god will not punish people for ever in hell, they will stay in hell and feel excruciating pains for the number of years they lived here on earth after which god will allow their souls to stay in the fire(a seperation from him) with out feeling any pain for eternity. . .I wonder where he got that concept from but its obvious that even for him as a end of day fire and brimestone preacher the hell myth doesn't sound moral or as a good form of justice. . .

GBAM 100% supported. Kids of today have evolved pass all this nonsense we feel for as kids. I remember when I was very yound, some kids would be so scared of a teddy bear or big doll off a monkey, they would cry and scream if you bring the toy near them. But now, for where? they will even sit down and watch horror film with you, and be laughing at the same time

The focus should be on heaven and not hell(If you understand how attraction works, then you will understand why).

excuse me law of attraction doesnt work in God's kingdom. Its spiritual not psychological as you think.

Christianity is based on the teachings of Jesus Christ. In one of his famous sermons Jesus directed his followers to ask for what they want with the faith and belief that they already had it. In fact he said anything that you ask for in a spirit of faith and belief you would get. This is the law of attraction in action.
Re: Why Has Preaching About Hell Reduced In Churches? by descentguy: 7:09pm On Apr 29, 2013
@all
if you are in a church and the message of hell is not preached in that church pls run away from that church because that church is a dead church.
Hell is not a myth niether is it the story of legends don't wait untill you get there because it might be too late for you to repent.
Re: Why Has Preaching About Hell Reduced In Churches? by descentguy: 7:36pm On Apr 29, 2013
Mintayo: Please if you are attending a church that does not believe in HELL,please RUN, HELL is REAL,HEAVEN is REAL; even the devil(demons) believe there is Hell.
So bad so many churches don't talk abt it this days...
How will there be heaven and there won't be hell,don't be decieved.
The Bible declares in certain terms that ther is HELL;there are 162 texts in the NT alone that speak of the doom that awaits the unrepentant sinners;the Lord Himself uttered 70 of them. The Bible makes it clear all wicked ppl that Reject Jesus will be turned into hell.(Ps 9:17).
WHAT IS HELL?
Hell is a place of torment and purnishments,(Lk 16:23); it is abarnishment from d presence of God(2 thess. 1:9).
WHAT IS THE ORIGIN OF HELL?
Hell was originally prepared for THE DEVIL AND HIS WICKED ANGELS according to
(Matt 25:41)-'' And the king will turn to those on the left and say,' Away with you, you cursed ones,into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his demons...

Hell was NEVER INTENDED FOR MAN but if men insist on rejecting heaven through the Saviour Jesus Christ,then they must accompany satan forever.
WHAT IS HELL LIKE?
IT IS APLACE OF PURNISHMENTS, a sort of prison where the wicked ar purnished forever(Matt 25:46); a torment of unquenchable thirst,of suffering and agony at its worst(Lk 16:23). A place of fire,fire so hot even angels who go there will continually cry in pain despite there strength;the will be so much that the devil will call JESUS ''Lord'' when the pains bcome unbearable for him.(Isaiah 33:14, Rev 20:15, Matt 13:42-50). It is a place of supernatural worms because the worm there don't die(Mark 9:44-48). The worst part of it is that those who go there will recognise themselves just as in heaven(Lk 16:23), they will even pray but there prayers will not be answered-NO MORE GRACE,(Lk 16:27).the torment is everlasting because the Bible says that both HEAVEN AND HELL IS EVRLASTING.(GOD SAYS SO).
PLEASE NOTE.
1. SALVATION IS LIMITED TO THIS LIFE(EARTH). NO REPENTANCE ONCE YOU DIE OR IN GRAVE(LK 16:24-27).
2. HELL IS DIFFERENT FROM GRAVE,(PLS DON'T BE DECIVED)-REMEMBER THE STORY OF LAZARUS AND THE RICH MAN?
ALSO- HEBREW 9:27.

CONCLUSION
HOW DOES ONE GO TO HELL? SIMPLY BY NEGLECTING THE SALVATION PURCHASED FOR US BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS.
(HEBREWS 2:3)
3. So what makes us think we can ignore this great salvation that was first announced to us by the Lord Jesus Himself and then delivered to us by those who heard him speak? (NLT).

HOW DOES ONE AVOID HELL?-BY RECIEVEING AND ACCEPTING JESUS AS ONE'S LORD AND SAVIOUR,NO MORE NO LESS(John 3:16, Prov 15: 24).
WHAT IS YOUR CHOICE?

GOD BLESS US ALL.

Guy shut up jare! You sound like a broken record, what is your proof of hell besides the bullshyte your inconsistent bible claims. Who is Jesus Christ? What did he look like? Do you even know the jewish view of Jesus Christ? Almost similar to the muslims'. Understand the history of Christianity first before blabbing with stoopid confidence of what cant be proven.

How is heaven guaranteed? You mean "on earth," right? cheesy

Anyway, I'm not sure that's in line with the Church of Buzugee. tongue
