No. Hellfire is not enough.

That is why there is a place called Nigeria.

Nigeria is the advanced form of hellfire.

Only the small sinners go to hellfire. The real crooks are born in Nigeria.

1. Hell was not made to be a deterrent for sin, it was made as a place to put creatures who are useless to God and his Will.
2. It is erroneous to think that the devil and his Angels torment people in hell: hell is also a torment for them. Everyone in hell is suffering his wages

But but the wages of sin is death

No worry.

Imaginary threat ba... Issokay.




Gospel of threat. Nobody preaches hell again these days.

My friend would say, it's better she believe in hell, and discover that hell doesn't exist after death, at that point, she has nothing to lose. Than for her to assume that there's no hell, then die, only to discover that hell actually exsist.


It's all still in fear.
Fear that they've instill in you from childhood till now.

How will God put devil to oversee hell when devil himself is a sinner

How will one sinner be punishing another sinner ? Please explain cos the story never clear

Cos that is all we call injustice

Where is it written that Devil will be punishing sinners, in the Bible?

Hell is enough deterrent for sin, because after death,there is no repentance or mercy or forgiveness of sin in the grave.
Hell was originally made for Satan and his demons,but he has vehemently vowed to drag as many souls as possible to share the flames of eternal damnation with him.
Lucifer is very wicked,so much that he would prefer nobody made Heaven,but he's a realist.
He knows some will make Heaven,but he's relentlessly fighting to get the greatest majority to Hell. He's throwing in a very wide array of weapons in bringing millions to eternal damnation.
Being the god of this world,Satan uses mind control to induce humans to focus on self and satisfying the desires of the flesh, programs evil desires and the urge to execute them.
He has great influence over humans when they are far from God, and do things, believing in their self sufficiency, without bringing God into the picture.
Hell is deterrent for sin, because eternity there is unimaginable.

So if I live for 80yrs and do some bad once in a while, let's say adultery, subtle lie and the likes, then I'm entitled to eternal condemnation in hell? Like my sufferness even pass my life span?

Even human judge no go sentence you to life in prison if you steal 10M,
which can punishment is that? Even you will complain if a punishment is to harsh,
The concept of hell is a whole lie, distorted and meant to discredit the personality of God.

Jesus and the bible people didn't live in this world, it was another "earth". This present world we are living is the hell fire of the bible. Many years back you lived a wicked life in a better world until you died there,then you were sent to this present earth (hell) to be tormented. Why do new born babies cry ones they land in this earth? Because they've come to hell where there is "weeping and gnashing of teeth".

Revelation 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

The Devil will be tormented in Hell 🔥 itself.. bring in hell fire is punishment for those that will be cast there...

Revelation 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

Lem ask from an outsider looking in, let's say there's no Jesus no demons, Heaven or Hell.

But pple still consult native Doctors for
evil
doings against another person and such works. Where do these evil men get such powers to take a life spiritual if the devil doesn't exist

There's nothing like HEAVEN OR HELLFIRE

God doesn't exist,Satan or demons doesn't exist.Jesus Christ or Angel doesn't exist, there's no verifiable concretable approvable evidence of their existence

But but the wages of sin is death
But there are three kinds of death
1. Physical Death
2. Spiritual Death
3. Second Death

Death is a Disconnection between entities.

Second Death is the eternal DISCONNECTION between God and the person in the prison of the rejected called the Lake of fire

Hell is very real, the fact that you don't believe that it does, changes nothing. The Devil and his agents are there but they aren't been tormented yet but humans who die in their sins are suffering there right now.

Any sin can take you to hell, be it pride, anger, murder, fornication, telling lies etc. there's nothing like big or small sin.

The good news is that no matter your sin, God is always there to forgive you so long as you confess that sin before him and ask for his forgiveness. Constant repentance is the key.

No matter what you do, don't run from God, RUN TO GOD.

I cover this comment with the blood of Jesus. Amen.

That concept of heaven and hell seems fishy to me.
Have you wonder why God and Government have the same rules.
It seems more like a government apparatus .
If we can’t get you to fear the police and prison, maybe Satan and Hell will work the magic.
Guess what, it’s working pretty fine even me wey they form hard guy sometimes get controlled by this mechanism.
Yoruba religion have no hell.
I believe religion is just kind of a mechanism to stop human from hurting humans…. I might be wrong though, but that’s my thought.

You're not far from the truth.

And they're to be tormented forever??
Does this make God better than those he's supposedly tormenting??

Here's what I believe...
There's is God...
There's heaven..
And the punishment for those that sinned is a cessation of their existence, a return to the dust from which they were created.

Why do people will rather choose not to be sinful, is it because of the fear of hell fire or because of the fear of the immediate or later consequences?

I know that everyone make mistakes in life, but what kind of mistake do attract hellfire punishment?

Is hellfire enough deterrent for any sin all?
Has anyone had the misfortune to go to hellfire and was back to life, what was your experience?

Matthew 25:41 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:

Is the devil and his angels tormenting people in hellfire enough deterrent for sin?


When we talk about hellfire, it's more like weather forecast:

raining season had just begun:
"people living around riverine areas should relocate, because there shall be flood...". Forecasters giving warnings

When we talk about hellfire, it's more like weather forecast;
it is not to instigate/instill fears on sinners...
but to create awareness
and let those who love themselves do the needful!


*. 2 Corinthians 6:17 "Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you."

Repentance and faith in Jesus' death, burial and resurrection is the only antidote for sin...
