Lol. There is no hell there is no heaven. The only thing awaiting you in the afterlife is eternal darkness. Does it torment you? Does the fact everything you do is completely meaningless torture you? You will never see your loved ones after your death. You wont even be aware of the fact that they existed, you wont even know you existed. grin grin grin

You are deceiving yourself :

Luke 16:22-28 KJV
And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; [23] And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. [24] And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. [25] But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. [26] And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. [27] Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: [28] For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.

The rich man was tormented and he remembered he had brothers on earth .

I pray for you to received knowledge , in Jesus name.

You asked questions and you are void of its answer. For God to create a stone that he cannot carry simply means He is powerless and not its creator.

So next time , ask questions you can answer .

God is Omnipotent and Holy .
The evil of this world was caused by we humans and not God . We are there4 reaping the result.

But because God is good , He has made a away of escape for us through the blood of Jesus that was sacrificed on the cross of Calvary for you and I . That is also why there is an end for this evil , which is the judgement day .

People often finds it really really difficult to grasp the idea of HELL. Though most Bible translators rendered the word grave as hell in their versions and religionists have exaggerated fabricated and brainwashed their followers on this matter. But the truth is ....

God never created anything to exist forever unless the creature earn it {Genesis 2:17} immortality is a gift from God NOT for the wicked but only the righteous. John 3:16
The sight of pain irritates God so the idea of sustaining living creatures under excruciating pains doesn't occur to him. Jeremiah 7:31


Jesus is a teacher who mostly teaches with parables (idioms), his contemporaries grasp what he is saying but after the death of his Apostles false religionists borrowed pagan customs and traditions and inculcated it in the minds of people claiming it's part of Christianity. That's the origin of HELLFIRE and the idea of all good people go to heaven!
From the beginning God never created humans for heavenly life, earth was God's plan for man {Psalms 115:16} and the only punishment for sin is a return to non-existence (DEATH) Romans 6:7,23
So God has nothing to do with evildoers other than sending them back to dust {Genesis 3:19} it is only the righteous that he has good prospects for not because they're righteous but because that's what he wanted from the beginning {Genesis 1:26-28} it was the rebellion in the garden of Eden that caused all what we're experiencing today! Genesis 3:17-19
Crooked religionists imported the idea of torment from pagan Greece teachings. This concept teaches that the gods has predestined some to suffer while some will enjoy all through, according to this pagan teaching good people will be with the gods and become gods too while those destined to suffer will be poor on earth and later continue with their punishment after death. It was believed that those who are financially buoyant and influential were predestined by the gods and the poor/pauper were also predestined by the same gods too.
So when this was imported into the churches of Christendom they turn the table to be those whose lifestyle are approved by the churches will go to heaven while those who has no business with the church will be tormented continually.
This was a means to threaten those who are not churchgoers so even when the so called unbeliever is virtuous the teachings says he/she will end up with demons and be tormented by the demons while the Churchgoers will be forgiven no matter the atrocities committed.

That's not what Jesus taught!
In fact all of us are sinners according to the teachings of the Apostles and none of us qualifies for God's glory {Romans 3:23} so there are certain things we must do to qualify for the first screening for those who will live forever, as the second screening will be more stringent than the first.
If you're interested in knowing what the criteria for the first and second screening is, i'll be obliged to explain from the scriptures.
God bless you! smiley

Rejecting Jesus Christ is the only thing that can send a man to Hell in this very dispensation (John 3:18,36 kjv). As for Muslims and Atheists and all unbelievers that rejected Jesus Christ, of course Hell awaits them. No doubt about that.

Heb 6:18 kjv - “That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie.”

Rom 3:3-4 kjv - “For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.”

You said many wrong things above , but there is no time to bring them out for reprove .

According to your post above , where is it in the Bible that church goers will go to heaven no matter their atrocities ?

If there is no hell and eternal punishment , there is there4 no reason for Jesus coming to die for us on the cross .

Can you please answer the above question ?

Hell means Grave so there is HELL, the eternal punishment for sin is death so Jesus' coming is to redeem believers from eternal damnation and resurrect innocent people from the Grave (Hell)

You said there is no torment after death for the sinners in hell , but the bible says other wise :


Luke 16:22-24 KJV
And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; [23] And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
[24] And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.

Grave is not hell and hell is not grave , don't be deceived .

Proverbs 15:24 KJV
The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath.

If you replace the word '' hell'' in the stament above with the word '' grave'' , does it make make sense to you ?

Abraham actually existed and if it were a parable there wouldn't have been need to mention names of people who once existed .

When did God began judging people, before or after resurrection? Revelations 20:11-14

Where was Abraham before Jesus' coming to the earth? John 3:13

What fine works did Lazarus do?

What were the evil deeds of the rich man?

Are the dead conscious? Ecclesiastes 9:5-6, 10

A

God's judgement on people begins :

1) Immediately after death before resurrection .

Hebrews 9:27 KJV
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

2) After resurrection . Revelation 20 : 13 .

Abraham was in a Paradise or a safe place inside the earth .

The fine works of Lazarus was what earned him a place in Abraham's bosom .

Born again Christian simply means someone who is associated with Christianity and is born of water and of the Spirit .

so, basically it is born again first before one can see the kingdom of God. That doesn't mean that everyone who were born again saw the kingdom of God.
Infact, very few of the born again in bible(only 120 disciples. Act 1:15) saw the kingdom of God when it was established at Jesus resurrection, hence few people entered the kingdom according to matthew 7:14


Matthew 7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is THE WAY, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Mark the emboldened THE WAY :
When you follow the story behind this whole thing you will understand.
Born again(which means to believe in Christ and follow him and become his disciple because he is the way) was the way to the kingdom but not the kingdom itself. The kingdom itself is holding that believe till Christ died and resurrect. It was at the point were Christ died and resurrected that Christianity was established, that marked the end of born again.
Remember, even John the Baptist disciples(because they followed Christ too and were also born again) were later baptised into Christianity after Christ had resurrected. Act 19:5-6
But along the way to Jerusalem where Christ was to be crucified, many of his disciples(born agains) ran away. Peter believed too, but he denied him three times and almost lost the kingdom(Christianity), if not that Jesus prayed for him.

In all I'm saying, born again was not part of Christianity but simply the way to Christianity.

[4] Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? .
[5] Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
[6] That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
please don't be confused when Jesus says A MAN be born of water.
A man there does not necessarily apply to men living today but only men who lived at the period before the death and resurrection of Jesus.

There are many who go to church and call themselves Christians but indulge in sins . These are Christians by name but not lead by the Spirit of God .
please don't use the phrase CALL THEMSELVES CHRISTIAN again. You are not the one to determine who should be a Christian and who should not be a Christian. grin
The only thing that determines whether a person is a Christian or not is that person himself, not even whether the person commit sin or not.

Romans 10:8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

You said born again '' is a way to Christianity and does not relate to men of nowadays but those who lived before the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ .

Are you saying old testament believers like moses, Elijah, Abraham e.t.c would all stroll to hell ? Because as far as I'm concerned they were men of God not Christians. And GOD IS NOT A CHRISTIAN O!. But Christians are children of God. HELL and LAKE OF FIRE are not same....so also MILLENIUM REIGN OF CHRIST(1000YRS), HEAVEN AND PARADISE are not exactly the same things....THOSE THINGS ARE VERY CONFUSING .BE SURE OF WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.

Those prophets or righteous men that died be4 Jesus came ,and died on the cross, did not go to heaven until the death of Jesus Christ :

John 3:13 KJV
And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.

John 5:25,28-29 KJV
Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. [28] Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
[29] And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

ABRAHAM DID NOT GO TO HEAVEN UNTIL JESUS CAME :

Luke 16:22-24,26 KJV
And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; [23] And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. [24] And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. [26] And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.

You are more than confused .
just say there things i have been saying that are not clear and point them out specifically.
I understand it's difficult to understand because i not coming out comprehensively. I'm just trying to summarize not to bore you with too many writings hoping you will think and relate all i have been saying with what you have read before in the bible.

Where is it written that there is an end to being born again ?
but you have read in the bible that the disciples followed Jesus through a journey from Galilee to Jerusalem and the journey ended when Jesus was crucifed.
That there is no physical Jesus to follow today, meaning the physical following ended approximately 2000 years ago?

You said born again '' is a way to Christianity and does not relate to men of nowadays but those who lived before the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ .
exactly!

Can you prove this from the Bible ?
it does not relate to men of nowadays because men of nowadays don't see physical Jesus to follow again.

Lastly , when you are proving your point , mind you words and stop giving conmand as if you are talking to your surbodinate.

did i give any such command? grin

OK, whatever!
If i did, I'm sorry.

But these things I'm saying, they are basic knowledge every Christian should know about their religion Christianity.

I remember in my secondary school days there is this revised standard version of the bible that was recommended for us. It used to come with maps.
Maps indicating the journey of Jesus before his crucifixion, also the journey of Paul who helped spreading the gospel.
Little did i know then that those maps were of great significance to understand what the bible is trying to let us understand.
