Okay Folks, This is the my honest truth. Years back, the thought of hellfire, i mean, burning eternally in side fire scared the shiit out of me. I was not scared but very angry that God knew how difficult it is to live in this sin riddled world and maintain a pure holy Christian life fit for His kingdom, why did he create me?

To start with, i didn't ask to be created. I wasn't consulted if i wanted to come here. Why bring me here without my consent and then subject me to the (Pain i was going through at the time. As
I was facing Amputation).

I was going through very tough times. I had prayed all kinds of prayers, it seemed God was either dead or wasn't interested.

I wanted to die. I actually attempted it. Yes, i had sent and bought what i wanted to drink without my folks knowing why i sent for it. But the fear of going to hellfire if i killed myself was gnawing at me. (Dear bone fracture pains is torturous, and i had to endure it for Ten straight years).

That fact angered me even the most. I felt trapped. My life was Miserable,. As far as i was concerned, my life was over even before it began, I wanted out, but could not get out on my terms. I was angry at God.

But one thing was certain, it never occured to me to think of who I was before the accident. Did i do was i was suppose to do as a Christian girl? did i work into satans trap with my own legs? Did i willingly make myself Vulnerable?

Well, a loving father should not hold any of my misdemeanors against me. My Loving heavenly father should ve used another means to correct me, not allow satan hit me down. Did he say he loves me? Where is the Mercy we hear about?
All the questions folks ask here, i asked.


Well. Yahweh had disappointed me so, i needed to find out what others outside of Christianity talked about these things. I went into New Age Religion and started reading and seeking. I became fascinated with the works of Thursday Lopsanrampa. and other works too. I was open to everything.

As Fate could have it, I met a Christian Science Guy who was happy to lead me on, I followed.

If i had met Sarasin then (lol, love you man) i would have followed him and be a very committed follower.
But deep down, i had this hollow, a vacuum inside of me. A yearning that i wanted filled, but i didn't know what it was or how to go about filling it. I kept reading. Anything printed in English i would read, but i couldn't just throw away the christian god.

On the night i was to drink the poison, God came into my room and asked me questions. I could not have asked myself that, and no one was awake, and no one knew what i wanted to do, for i had time everything. I said, before anyone would know what was going on and get me help, i would be dead.


He said, Do you remember the accident Scene? Do you remember how close you were from being over ran by another car? You saw it (And i did). Did you stop the tires from climbing you?

There and then, i found myself in the scene of the accident again, and the scare of that approaching car which was with me for a long time returned. Then he heard Him say, 'I WAS THERE'.

I broke down and started crying that night. I asked for forgiveness and the grace to bear whatever was ahead of me.

The next day i woke feeling like was soaked inside Joy. I told my folks what happened everyone was shocked that i could even think it. For everyone had left their lives, put everything in hold just to be with me. Just imagine how selfish i was.

Now here is the question. Answer it sincerely if you'll be justified.


If you were to die today and God says to you "Why should l let you into my heaven, what reasons will you give Him?".

Bare in mind, it is His heaven.


Even ordinary Nairaland has its rules. To come inhere, you fill a form, give your datas, agree to abide by the rules governing here, without which, you'd be banned. I have been banned countless times.

So, folks don't just stay back and hate God for creating hellfire, tell him why you dont like it.


Ask yourself, Do you qualify to enter God's heaven? How so?

Pastafarians,

While the word "hellfire" might not be found in the Bible, it is thoroughly evident in the Bible that GOD will destroy and annihilate sin, sinners and Satan with fire, in that Great Day.This is the "wages of sin" and it is death.

See Psa. 11:6; Isa. 34:8,9; Isa. 47:14; Psa. 37:20; Psa. 21:9; Psa. 37:10,38; Psa. 68:2; Psa. 104:35; Psa. 145:20; Mal. 4:1; Job 15:34.

I want you Nigerian guys that are eager to go to heaven to sincerely answer this question: Where are all your ancestors that broke the first commandment going to? Heaven with you or hell with the atheists?

Pastafarians:

I don't know where you got this Reference from got questions?

Hell fire is a Place The same way with Hades Of course Yahweh can destroy with fire according to the Bible but it is not as The OT described it We all know the Job of Fire Naturally is to destroy... Fire used in the OT was never a Place.

DoctorAlien:


It will do us all good if you back your claims with Scripture.

Where is hellfire?

DoctorAlien:
Pastafarians,

Unless you hold that the NT is not in harmony with the OT, it is clear that we are to consult the whole of the Bible to get a clearer picture of what hell is. And indeed the Bible cannot be mistaken on what it teaches on that topic. I urge you to follow this link to get a 100% biblical exposition on the issue of hell.

GOD bless you.

Hell was never mention in the OT but Fire was. Abi isn't Yahweh the Consuming Fire?
But this are not the same thing they are different.

Hell is a location a place and in that place there is fire that Burns forever where people would be punished forever The OT never mentioned This if it was that important the OT would have mentioned it

which is why the Jew don't ascribe to The Christian myth.

The OT only talked about Sheol which is the Realm of the Dead....

honourhim:


The word *"hell fire * is in the bible. Check Mathew 5:22 and Mathew 18:9.

DoctorAlien:


GOD is Just.

Ignorant people will go to Heaven. However, before you can be ignorant in the sight of GOD, you must make two claims truthfully:

1. I did not know.

2. I had no way of knowing.

carry on bro

Pastafarians:

The location wasn't given But It Was "A lake of Fire" Which must be located somewhere and asking me where hell fire is located is like asking me where Heaven is located

You said God is just and ignorant people will go to heaven. Imagine your lecturer sets a difficult test which you took and 70% of those that took the test fail it. Now lets say there were some students that were not aware of the test(thereby not taking it) and your lecturer decides to pass these students because they were 'ignorant' of the test, Will you say he was just?

1. You are wrong because hell was mentioned in Proverbs 23:14; Psa. 9:17; Job 11:8; Prov. 15:11.

2. While you might be right that hell will be in a definite place, I'm sure you have the wrong notion about its nature, and when it will be.

DoctorAlien:


Oh bro! Yea the word is in the Bible But "Atheists" might want to criticize the NT, calling it forged.


Anyway, thank you for revealing that verse to me.

Pastafarians:
Yahweh didn't Create hell fire In fact there is no mention of Hell fire in the OT but if you have anywhere in the OT where hell fire was mentioned please Quote it

Christianity Was mostly Gotten From Greek Mythology So i get where the Idea of Hell fire Comes from... According to The theology the wages for Sin is death not Hell fire.. In the beginning yahweh created the "Heaven" and the "Earth" not "Heaven Earth And Hell fire"

Entering Atheist mode........
I am not Angry At Yahweh for Creating hell if that's what you think he did the same way you are not angry at Allah for creating Hell For unbelievers The same way you are not Angry at Zeus for Creating Hades

There is noting special about Christianity or Islam... I would rather go for a calm religion like Buddhism where i could meditate all day to relax my mind, Instead of wasting time praying like the Christian or Muslims do we all know prayer cant fly plane...

shadeyinka:


Do you also know that the word demon or unclean spirit didn't exist in the OT?

Eternal Bliss makes sense right? Being rewarded for eternity what you did on earth for less than 100 years?

The opposite doesn't make sense? Because God is Love?

God being Love also connote that God will Judge the misbehaviors of people towards those who fear and love Him!

DoctorAlien:
Pastafarians,

You said "hell" cannot be found in the OT. I proved you wrong.

We may only continue to discuss if you have read and digested the piece on the link I gave you.

My thoughts and submissions on the topic of hell are fully contained in that piece.

Thank you.
