You better run and find a clergy that knows well enough about hell fire and eternal fires of hell to straighten your understanding and put you in the right path. You are in danger of hell from your ignorance and ignorance is not an excuse
I'm a Christian but I hate this hellfire preaching passionately.
If I should worship God because of hell, that's mean, without hell, I will not worship God therefore means that God is threatening me or intimidated me with the fear of hell to worship Him.

I said it again... Let worship God because of his proves in our life and not because of hellfire. It sounds childish worshipping because of the fear of hell.

Three Nigerian Pastors Who Preached God Is Not In Heaven

What the Bible exhausts about Heaven;

Psalm 33:13, “The Lord looketh from Heaven, he beholds all the sons of men."

If God is not in Heaven, there is no way by which the scripture will state that God looks from Heaven. The same was the revelation Eliphaz had and asserted that this same God is in the height of heavens, Job 22:12. That means a place far above from the earth.


Psalm 11:4, “The LORD is in his Holy Temple, the LORD's is in Heaven. His eyes behold and his eyelids try, the children of men."

The Lord's throne is in Heaven, there is no doubt about that, rehearsing that God's throne is not in Heaven contradicts the Holy Bible.

To this horizon, the Bible clearly states that the Lord Jesus Christ is in Heaven; Acts 1:11,
“This same Jesus, which is taken up from you into Heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into Heaven."
With the pieces of information obtained about Heaven from the Holy Bible, various Nigerian preachers have insinuated the contrary to their devotees.

The preachers; Apostle Johnson Suleiman

“If God made Heaven, where was he living before he created the heavens?."

Pastor Blessed Dikeh:

“There is nothing like Hellfire afterlife. Heaven is here on earth already.”

Pastor Abel Damina;

“He opined that God can not live in what was believed he created. He must have lived outside the Heavens and the Earth."

grin So it happens that heaven is just another planet, where God, angels, humans and animals live? So God runs the place exactly like a human king? Then how is heaven different from an alien planet?

Ok, you tell me. I figure you have some insight as to how some are not what they appear to be.
Or how they are not spiritual at all.
Or how no spirituality exists.

The purpose of life is beyond escaping hell. The real purpose of life is to give pleasure to God with your life. We are all created for his pleasure.

That's a somewhat sickening worldview which inspires nothing elevated or noble. I am not interested in the cosmic masturbation of any deity.

A better way to put it would be to say that all that exists is the natural and unavoidable emanation or radiation of the source, through which it experiences itself and bears consciousness.

Do not listen to him. He is trying to mislead you into hell. That is not the purpose of life. There is another life that is forever and ever and ever after death. We must live a purposeful life so that we do not fall to the left path after death and we go on to live forever and ever and ever. The purpose of life is much but to become the visible expression of the invincible God is the first purpose of life. The next one is for us to learn about God, His ways and His deeds and to become vessels worthy of God's divine kingdom

There are thousands of religion in the world, how do you think it is the religion that was shipped into Africa that is the right religion? Think of this very well. What would had happened if the religion didn't get to Africa? You beleive you will go to hell?

Everything has to do with the Universes Because we didn't invent the machinations out of nowhere ... we are materials of the Universes same as all other materials whether invented or not .... we only gather the elements together to make a purposeful sense !
Yes, in the sense of where the materials come from you are correct...but I mean all these are not in the grand plan of the universe. The universe is about evolution, biology, this is how the universe creates life forms. You are not wrong just different context.

Faith? Sigh.

If you believe animals aren't going to anything like Heaven or Hell fire, then it is same thing for humans too.

Religion were tools used to keep humans in check during the olden days.

Have you not seen so many scientific discoveries that contradicts most religions

You need to elucidate.

Because whilst all humans are not the same, certain fundamental properties are central to what it means to be human. So one would not be wrong to say, for example, that all humans have red blood.

Sentience, sapience, these are integral to the nature of humanity. So is spirituality - regardless that some may be more or less spiritually inclined than others.

I love this, when you have such mentality, things like racism and tribalism would never make sense to you. Yes, you would have some sentiments mostly because of where you were raised but you would never see life like the others.

I watched this YouTube video where the guy goes to npcs in the video game and try to convince them that the life they were living was all fake and programmed by some humans.

Guess what?

None of them believed, they all said he was talking BS. Now imagine someone telling you that everything you've gone through — y'know, your beliefs, thoughts, and emotions were all part of an illusion 😳.
yeah free guy is the title of the movie

Anybody that still believes in Noah’s flood in this age deserves a brain transplant.
Even a monkey won’t believe that.
Now a so called scientist is saying a flood destroyed the whole earth 5000 years ago. Abeg where were the Egyptians, Chinese, Africans when all this were happening?
Abi na Noah give birth to Chinese, indians, Arabs, whites and blacks ? People no just get sense I swear




It is a pity. That after death people will beg God but He won't listen. No single human being that passed thru this planet from the start dies. Not even one. It is either one wakes up to eternal life or is thrown into everlasting fire. You were told. You chose not to accept God's redemption plan for humanity

Even if I'm to go by this your view, it means every creator has a purpose it creates.
If the creature fulfilled the purpose it was created, it'll surely be worthy of being created when compared to the that failed to fulfilled this purpose.

For, this purpose is our purpose of life, it is to serve our creator. You can't serve what or who you do not know, so it's important to know the creator. How do you know him is why I ask us to read through religious books with open mind, convince yourself don't let anyone misguide you.
