Why Would Sinners Go To Hell?

"Of sin, because they believe not on Me" (John 16:9).

Much damage has been done to the cause of the gospel by telling the world that they will go to Hell "because they don't believe in Jesus." This makes no sense to the ungodly. It seems unreasonable that God would eternally damn them for not believing something. However, this can be explained this way: If a man jumps out of a plane without a parachute, he will perish because he transgressed the law of gravity. Had he put on a parachute, he would have been saved. In one sense, he perished because he didn't put on the parachute. But the primary reason he died was because he broke what has often been called "the law" of gravity.

If a sinner refuses to trust in Jesus Christ when he passes through the door of death, he will perish. This isn't because he refused to trust the Saviour, but because he transgressed the Law of God. Had he "put on the Lord Jesus Christ" (Romans 13:14), he would have been saved; but because he refused to repent, he will suffer the full consequences of his sin. Sin is not "failing to believe in Jesus." Sin is "transgression of the Law" (1 John 3:4).

The man died because he broke all his bones and destroyed his tissues on landing on a hard surface, if he had land on a soft foam or any soft surface he would be alive despite breaking the law of gravity.

Secondly are u aware that Muslims believe Christians will go to hell too, just the way u believe unbelievers will go to hell.

Are you sure that you will land on a soft foam or surface if you happen to suddenly be evacuated from a plane that is about 30,000 feet in the air?

Leave Muslims to deal with their eternity. Focus on how you are going to land when you pass through the gates of death.

sin makes sinners to go to hell.

sin makes sinners to go to hell.

Yes, that means breaking the Moral Law of God.

OLAADEGBU:


Yes, that means breaking the Moral Law of God.

yes breaking the moral law of God. The reason it is said that not believing in Jesus is the only thing that takes people to hell is because Jesus himself is the solution to man's sin problem it does not matter the gravity and quantity of sins committed but if a sinner should believe in his heart that Jesus is his saviour who died for his sins and confess Christ he will be forgiven and saved. in this regard, only unbelief destroys people not sins since the solution has been provided.

not believing on Jesus would result in a man becoming a slave of sin and been judged for his sins but believing on the Lord Jesus automatically mean such a one has escape the judgment of condemnation Romans 8:1 and becomes a new creature.

While it is true that not believing in Jesus would land one in hell it must be stressed that the main reason for landing in hell is because one broke the law of God, he transgressed the law of God.

I agree with you on this one. I also said something not very much different from this in a thread I created about a year ago. See https://www.nairaland.com/4006224/what-condemnsunbelief-sin

We have Covenants with God and Contracts with ourselves. You break them, you commit Sin and go to Hell.

every one has broken the law and hence under the condemnation. But Jesus came to change that by offering forgiveness and eternal free so one can only be condemned when he or she does not accept Christ free gift.

MISHIGAS!

Why Would Sinners Go To Hell?

"Of sin, because they believe not on Me" (John 16:9).

I decry the dishonesty of ignorant people trying to preach The Gospel from intellectual Power, instead of Spiritual Knowledge.

. MATTHEW 10:16-20.

16. "Behold, I send you forth
as sheep in the midst of wolves:
be ye therefore wise as serpents,
and harmless as doves.
17. "But Beware of Men:
for they will deliver you up
to the Councils,
and they will scourge you
in their Synagogues;
18. "And ye shall be brought
before governors and kings for my sake,
for a Testimony against them
and the Gentiles.
19. "But when they deliver you up,
take no thought
how or what ye shall speak:
for it shall be given you
in that same hour
what ye shall speak.
20. "For it is not ye that speak,
but The Spirit of your Father
Which speaketh in you."

. JOHN 3:34-36.

34. "For he whom God hath sent
speaketh The Words of God:
for God giveth not the Spirit
by measure unto him.
35. "The Father loveth The Son,
and hath given All Things
into his hand.
36. "He that believeth on The Son
hath Everlasting Life:
and he that believeth not The Son
shall not see Life;
but The Wrath of God
abideth on him."

JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE FANATICAL FOR YOUR CHURCH, THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU SERVE LORD YESHUA.

You asked me the other day, whether I denied THE JEWISH HOLOCAUST: I replied that I did, giving the reasons and facts that hot my TWITTER Account suspended. You gave no reply whatsoever. Clearly you do not serve God, otherwise you would support The Truth. Not by automatically believing me, but by telling why you think that you know better.

If God were Speaking in you, He would not have you take Scriptures out-of-context, that do not apply to the point you are trying to make.

. JOHN 16:1-16.



"THESE Things
have I Spoken unto you,
that ye should not be offended.
2. "They shall put you
out of the Synagogues:
yea, the time cometh,
that whosoever killeth you
will think that he doeth God Service.
3. "And these Things
will they do unto you,
because they have not
known The Father,
nor me.
4. “But these Things have I told you,
that when the time shall come,
ye may remember that I told you of them.
And these Things
I Said not unto you
at the beginning,
because I was with you.
5. “But now I go my Way
to Him that sent me;
and none of you asketh me,
'Whither goest thou?'
6. “But because I have Said
these Things unto you,
sorrow hath filled your heart.
7. "Nevertheless I Tell you The Truth;

'IT IS EXPEDIENT FOR YOU
THAT I GO AWAY:
FOR IF I GO NOT AWAY,
THE COMFORTER WILL NOT
COME UNTO YOU.'

but if I depart,
I will send Him unto you.
8. "And when He is come,
He will reprove the World
of SIN,
and of RIGHTEOUSNESS,
and of JUDGMENT:
9. "OF SIN,
because they believe not on me;
10. "OF RIGHTEOUSNESS,
because I go to my Father,
and ye see me no more;
11. "OF JUDGMENT,
because the Prince of this World
is Judged.
12. "I have yet many things to Say unto you,
but ye cannot bear them now.
13. "Howbeit when He,
The Spirit of Truth,
is come,
He will guide you into all Truth:
for He shall not speak of Himself;
but whatsoever He shall hear,
that shall He speak:
and He will shew you things to come.
14. "He shall glorify me:
for He shall receive of mine,
and shall shew It unto you.
15. "All things
that The Father hath
are mine:
therefore Said I,

'THAT HE SHALL TAKE OF MINE,
AND SHALL SHEW IT UNTO YOU.'
16. “A little while,
and ye shall not see me:
and again,
a little while,
and ye shall see me,
because I go to The Father."

JOHN 16:9b has nothing whatsoever with people going to HELL, but was the reason why the coming HOLY GHOST was going to REPROVE THE WORLD OF SIN.

You falsified the meaning of the Scripture to make it seem as if The Bible supported your Teaching- which it does not.

DISBELIEVING IN YESHUA HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WHY SOMEONE MIGHT GO TO HELL, BECAUSE, LORD YESHUA EXPLICITLY STATED THAT PEOPLE WORTHY OF HELL WOULD BE SENT THERE BY HIM, REGARDLESS OF THE FACT THAT THEY "BELIEVED IN HIM!"

oaroloye:
. MATTHEW 7:12-29.

12. "Therefore all things
whatsoever ye would
that men should do to you,
do ye even so to them:
for this is The Law and The Prophets.
13. "Enter ye in at The Strait Gate:
for wide is the Gate,
and broad is the way,
that leadeth to Destruction,
and many there be which go in thereat:
14. "Because strait is the Gate,
and narrow is The Way,
which leadeth unto Life,
and few there be that find it.
15. "Beware of False Prophets,
which come to you in sheep's clothing,
but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16. "Ye shall know them by their fruits.
Do men gather grapes of thorns,
or figs of thistles?
17. "Even so every Good Tree
bringeth forth Good Fruit;
but a Corrupt Tree
bringeth forth Evil Fruit.
18. "A Good Tree cannot
bring forth Evil Fruit,
neither can a Corrupt Tree
bring forth Good Fruit.
19. "Every tree that
bringeth not forth Good Fruit
is hewn down,
and cast into the Fire.
20 Wherefore by their Fruits
ye shall know them.
21. "Not every one
that saith unto me,
'Lord, Lord,' shall enter into
The Kingdom of Heaven;
but He that doeth
The Will of my Father
Which is in Heaven.
22 Many will say to me
in That Day,

'LORD, LORD, HAVE WE NOT
PROPHESIED IN THY NAME?
AND IN THY NAME
HAVE CAST OUT DEVILS?
AND IN THY NAME
DONE MANY WONDERFUL WORKS?'

23. "And then will I profess unto them,

'I NEVER KNEW YOU:
DEPART FROM ME,
YE THAT WORK INIQUITY.'

24. "Therefore whosoever heareth
These Sayings of mine,
and doeth Them,
I will liken him unto a Wise Man,
which built his house upon a rock:
25. "And the rain descended,
and the floods came,
and the winds blew,
and beat upon that house;
and it fell not:
for it was founded upon a rock.
26 . "And every one that heareth
These Sayings of mine,
and doeth them not,
shall be likened unto a Foolish Man,
which built his house upon the sand:
27. "And the rain descended,
and the floods came,
and the winds blew,
and beat upon that house;
and it fell:
and great was the fall of it."
28. And it came to pass,
when Jesus had ended these Sayings,
the people were astonished
at his Doctrine:
29. For He taught them
as one having authority,
and not as the scribes.

.. MATTHEW 25:31-46.

31. "When The Son of Man
shall come in his Glory,
and all the Holy Angels with him,
then shall he sit upon
The Throne of his Glory:
32. "And before him
shall be gathered all nations:
and he shall separate
them one from another,
as a shepherd divideth
his sheep from the goats:
33. "And he shall set the sheep
on his right hand,
but the goats on the left.
34. "Then shall the King say
unto them on his right hand,

'COME, YE BLESSED OF MY FATHER,
INHERIT THE KINGDOM
PREPARED FOR YOU
FROM THE FOUNDATION
OF THE WORLD:
35. 'FOR I WAS AN HUNGRED,
AND YE GAVE ME MEAT:
I WAS THIRSTY,
AND YE GAVE ME DRINK:
I WAS A STRANGER,
AND YE TOOK ME IN:
36. 'NAKED, AND YE CLOTHED ME:
I WAS SICK,
AND YE VISITED ME:
I WAS IN PRISON,
AND YE CAME UNTO ME.'

37. Then shall the Righteous
answer him, saying,

'LORD, WHEN SAW WE THEE
AN HUNGRED,
AND FED THEE?
OR THIRSTY,
AND GAVE THEE DRINK?
38. 'WHEN SAW WE THEE
A STRANGER,
AND TOOK THEE IN?
OR NAKED,
AND CLOTHED THEE?
39. 'OR WHEN SAW WE THEE
SICK,
OR IN PRISON,
AND CAME UNTO THEE?'

40. "And the King shall answer
and say unto them,

'VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU,

"INASMUCH AS YE HAVE DONE IT
UNTO ONE OF THE LEAST OF THESE
MY BRETHREN,
YE HAVE DONE IT
UNTO ME." '

41. "Then shall he say also
unto them on the left hand,

'DEPART FROM ME,
YE CURSED,
INTO EVERLASTING FIRE,
PREPARED FOR THE DEVIL
AND HIS ANGELS:
42. 'FOR I WAS AN HUNGRED,
AND YE GAVE ME NO MEAT:
I WAS THIRSTY,
AND YE GAVE ME NO DRINK:
43. 'I WAS A STRANGER,
AND YE TOOK ME NOT IN:
NAKED, AND YE CLOTHED ME NOT:
SICK, AND IN PRISON,
AND YE VISITED ME NOT.'

44. "Then shall they also
answer him,
saying,

'LORD, WHEN SAW WE THEE
AN HUNGRED, OR ATHIRST,
OR A STRANGER, OR NAKED,
OR SICK, OR IN PRISON,
AND DID NOT MINISTER
UNTO THEE?'

45. "Then shall he answer them, saying,

'VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU,

"INASMUCH AS YE DID IT NOT
TO ONE OF THE LEAST OF THESE,
YE DID IT NOT TO ME." '

46. "And these shall go away
into Everlasting Punishment:
but the Righteous into Life Eternal."

WE SURELY AGREE THAT THE LORD WAS THE JUDGE IN BOTH TEACHINGS?

Therefore he taught that believing in him would not prevent him from sending those who did not do THE WILL OF GOD to HELL.

You cannot claim ignorance of these Scriptures.

Therefore, you have DELIBERATELY MISREPRESENTED THE GOSPEL.

Can you prove otherwise?

You knew that Lord Yeshua would send people who disobeyed him to Hell, despite their believing in him, yet you lied, and said that people go to Hell for not believing on him.

OLAADEGBU:
Much damage has been done to the cause of the gospel by telling the world that they will go to Hell "because they don't believe in Jesus." This makes no sense to the ungodly. It seems unreasonable that God would eternally damn them for not believing something. However, this can be explained this way: If a man jumps out of a plane without a parachute, he will perish because he transgressed the law of gravity. Had he put on a parachute, he would have been saved. In one sense, he perished because he didn't put on the parachute. But the primary reason he died was because he broke what has often been called "the law" of gravity.

IF GOD WERE SPEAKING IN YOU, HE WOULD NOT USE ANALOGIES THAT DO NOT WORK.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GaANi96Z-Wg

What if the person jumped out of the plane without a parachute, while the aeroplane was on the ground, or not flying very high, or, like LUKE AIKEN, he had PREPARED beforehand what he was going to land on?

You failed to account for those factors, therefore your analogy in invalid and uninspired.

OLAADEGBU:
If a sinner refuses to trust in Jesus Christ when he passes through the door of death, he will perish. This isn't because he refused to trust the Saviour, but because he transgressed the Law of God. Had he "put on the Lord Jesus Christ" (Romans 13:14), he would have been saved; but because he refused to repent, he will suffer the full consequences of his sin. Sin is not "failing to believe in Jesus." Sin is "transgression of the Law" (1 John 3:4).

THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS CASES OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE DIED WITHOUT BELIEVING IN LORD YESHUA, BUT RETURNED TO LIFE.

The King of my hometown is such a person.

https://punchng.com/i-once-died-and-woke-up-when-about-to-be-buried-aroloye-owa-of-idanre/

However, the BENEFACTOR of CARLOS CASTANEDA, one Don JUAN MATUS died as a young man, did not perish, but woke up in a shallow grave to find that TWO DAYS had passed.

[See: THE POWER OF SILENCE, by Carlos Castaneda.]

He attributed his survival to his practice of a technique taught him by his own Benefactor, NAGUAL JULIAN.

oaroloye:
SHALOM!

HELL IS NOT THE WORST THING!

If you don't ACT ON THIS, you won't make it to HELL: you will have NO AfterLife.

THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT SPIRITUAL TRUTH YOU CAN EVER READ:

When people die, they are tested for sentience.

The test is very simple: a complete account of one's entire life is required from one.

If one fails to provide it in a timely fashion, the Accountant-Entity, that manifests every time something dies, cuts into one's Soul Body, and extracts the data it requires by Brute Force.

After this Entity has departed, scavenger Spirit beings attack, tearing the compromised Soul Body open before it can deploy, as they consume its life Energies.

Only those who perform the simple task of learning to TOTALLY RECALL one's entire life in minutes escape this fate of all Animals.

[See: THE POWER OF SILENCE, by Carlos Castaneda.]

IF ONE MEETS SUCH AN END, ONE'S ENTIRE LIFE WAS FOR NOTHING.

The Discipline is very simple: spend 20 minutes daily remembering everything one knows about everyone one ever met to begin.

At at one point, one ceases to REMEMBER the Past, but rather RELIVES IT, if it were happening again!

When TOTAL RECALL has been earned other SuperPowers follow.

.. THE TEN TALENTS. (Matt. 25:1-46)

1. TOTAL RECALL.
2. EXTRASENSORY PERCEPTION.
3. TELEKINESIS.
4. TELEPORTATION.
5. TRANSLATION.
6-10. ETERNAL LIFE.

[See: THE FIRE FROM WITHIN, by Carlos Castaneda.]

THEREFORE I AM INTERESTED ONLY IN WHAT HAS PRACTICAL APPLICATION!

http://youtube com/watch?v=fvlkckrSYMg

THE TECHNIQUE IS CALLED "RECAPITULATION;" IT ENTAILS SEQUENTIALLY RECALLING THE EXPERIENCES OF ONE'S ENTIRE LIFE UNTIL ONE ATTAINS TOTAL RECALL.

It takes up to a year to complete, but no longer.

He did not enter into the Exercise with the intention of Resurrecting himself from the Dead, but that appears to be what happened.

It is a cliche, that people who experienced Near-Death often testify that: "MY WHOLE LIFE FLASHED BEFORE MY EYES!" The implication is that THAT specific ability is what enabled them to come back from the Dead.

American Prophet KENNETH ERWIN HAGIN died as a young lad, before his Miraculous Healing, and was converted at a place consistent with "The Gate of HELL," and returned to life.

He casually mentioned in a sermon, that, as a schoolboy, after his Miracle Self-Healing from a DEFORMED CHEST, DEFORMED HEART, and INCURABLE BLOOD DISEASE- expected to kill him by Age 15- he had the ability to recite any page of any book he had read only once.

This was never connected with his rising from the Dead, but, in retrospect, it may have been integral.

L. RON HUBBARD cited a childhood experience that set him on the path to discovering DIANETICS: A pair of CHINESE Classmates, who could recite any page of any book they had read once- making the Westerners, who could not do that, all look bad.

Ignorant and stupid people would rather believe that L. Ron Hubbard founded SCIENTOLOGY "because he wanted to become a millionaire."

ONLY THOSE WHO ARE ABLE TO TOTALLY-RECALL THEIR ENTIRE LIVES AT DEATH ARE ALLOWED TO ENTER INTO THE AFTERLIFE.

However, that is obviously not the only application of that ability.

Every Hebrew Israelite was supposed to have attained that ability. Lord Yeshua seems to have expected everyone he spoke to to have known the whole Law and Prophets, and to understand everything he said and did in the light of that Knowledge.

[color =silver].[/color] PSALM 119:11.

11. Thy Word have I hid
in mine heart,
that I might not Sin
against Thee.

IT IS WESTERN GENTILES WHO ARE SO STUPID AS TO THINK THAT CHRISTIANS ARE SUPPOSED TO FLIP BIBLE PAGES, TO TRY TO "FIND OUT" WHETHER THINGS ARE IN THE BIBLE OR NOT!

You are supposed to KNOW THE BIBLE BEFOREHAND, rather than interrupting the Prophet of God, asking him:

"EXCUSE ME, SIR- WHERE IS THAT WRITTEN?"

You are supposed to KNOW!

Therefore I never explained my Teaching on Death, expecting those who had actually read The Bible to speak up, and confirm what THE NAGUALS *saw.*

However, that has never happened yet.
