What a topic! Thank you 4 taking your time to write this wonderful meaningful message. We are living in the end time, the Bible said in the end time ,men will not like the truth. Churches are avoiding this topic not to scare people away but its wrong. The truth has to be told. |

Because Some pastor's has come to realized that hellfire doesn't exist, God , Satan, Jesus Christ, Angels and demons doesn't exist, there's no reliable concretable approvable evidence of their existence, heaven and hellfire is just a figment of imagination, it's not real. Open your eyes and free yourself from religious bondage. |

Janosky:Matt.5.22 - But I say, if you are angry with someone, you are subject to judgment! If you call someone an idiot, you are in danger of being brought before the high council. And if you curse someone, you are in danger of the fires of hell. Matt.5.29 - So if your eye--even if it is your good eye--causes you to lust, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. Matt.5.30 - And if your hand--even if it is your stronger hand--causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. Matt.7.13 - "You can enter God's Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose the easy way. Matt.10.28 - "Don't be afraid of those who want to kill you. They can only kill your body; they cannot touch your soul. Fear only God, who can destroy both soul and body in hell. Matt.16.18 - Now I say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it. Matt.18.9 - And if your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better to enter heaven half blind than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell. Matt.23.15 - Yes, how terrible it will be for you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. For you cross land and sea to make one convert, and then you turn him into twice the son of hell as you yourselves are. Matt.23.33 - Snakes! Sons of vipers! How will you escape the judgment of hell? Luke.12.5 - But I'll tell you whom to fear. Fear God, who has the power to kill people and then throw them into hell. |

gohf:Jesus was quoting the law! Hell fire there was a physical punishment among the Jews in those days for breaking the law. In some cultures, if you curse anyone, you will receive 10 strokes of the cain right there as punishment. But in the Jewish culture of those days, if you curse anyone you will receive hell fire right there as punishment. So, what is that punishment called hell fire? It might just be going to the farm to clear forest of cassava to make akpu for village people. That is your punishment for insulting a person |

johnstin:There are several possible reasons. First, many pastors today recognize that biblical scholarship has revealed the subject to be far more complex than older traditions suggested. Second, modern audiences often respond better to messages centered on hope, purpose, and transformation than constant fear. Third, many pastors simply avoid controversial theological debates that could divide their congregations. Finally, some ministers genuinely believe that leading people through love produces deeper faith than leading them through fear. None of these explanations necessarily mean they reject hell. They simply approach the subject differently. Fear Should Never Replace Understanding |

AntiChristian:Dawah imams and Alfas are also looking for trend They get money from Muslim countries to cause mayhem in Nigeria. You haven't answered my question. What's Zacharia and Elijah doing in your Quran since allah is not the same person as YHWH? Your alllllah can't get his own prophets but started copying contents from the Bible. Is your allllla dimwited?! This shows that your entire Quran is a book of liiies and deiception! |

Janosky:**Matthew 5:22** "But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother will be liable to the council; and whoever says, 'You fool!' will be liable to the hell of fire." **Matthew 5:29-30** "If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body be thrown into hell. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body go into hell." **Matthew 10:28** "And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell." **Matthew 18:8-9** "And if your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life crippled or lame than with two hands or two feet to be thrown into the eternal fire. And if your eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than with two eyes to enter in to hell with both eyes. **Luke 16:19-31 (ESV)** "There was a rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously every day. And at his gate was laid a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, who desired to be fed with what fell from the rich man's table. Moreover, even the dogs came and licked his sores. The poor man died and was carried by the angels to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried, and in Hades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus at his side. And he called out, 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the end of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am in anguish in this flame.' But Abraham said, 'Child, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner bad things; but now he is comforted here, and you are in anguish. And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, in order that those who would pass from here to you may not be able, and none may cross from there to us.' And he said, 'Then I beg you, father, to send him to my father's house for I have five brothers so that he may warn them, lest they also come into this place of torment.' But Abraham said, 'They have Moses and the Prophets; let them hear them.' And he said, 'No, father Abraham, but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent.' He said to him, 'If they do not hear Moses and the Prophets neither will they believe is someone rises from the grave. |

angelboy01:Revelation 14:10-11 "he will be tormented with fire and sulfur... the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever" Revelation 19:20 the beast and false prophet "thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur" Revelation 20:10 the devil thrown into the lake of fire, "tormented day and night forever and ever" Revelation 20:13-15 Death and Hades thrown into the lake of fire. "This is the second death, the lake of fire. And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire." Revelation 21:8 "the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars — their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death" |

There is no place up there in the skies where God incinerates the spirits of dead people. Hell is when people are suffering Heaven is when people are enjoying When people die, their souls goes to rest in God and they reincarnate back to suffer for the sins or enjoy for the deeds of past life |

| Re: Why Some Pastors Avoid Preaching About Hellfire by olurotimi(m): 1:25pm On Jun 28 |
Because Jesus didn't also come to preach hell fire but came to save us. The motive should be love not to scare or coerse to salvation. "Come unto me"...( gentle persuation with love). God loved us (sinners)and gave his only Son. Jesus. {John 3:16} We also should love other sinners and not be judge about 'who goes to hell. |

johnstin:All your points are accurate. You see, this is exactly what our churches have become. Everyone of them want to be big. Everyone want to be invited to a very highly esteemed pulpit. You know, one of the commonest requirements to get invited to some of these highly exalted pulpits is that you are big and have much results in the ministry. And you also know that before having much of these results you must need to compromise with your messages a little that is for a sincere Pastor. You cant imagine what the insincere wolves among them is doing to achieve these results. This is why I can't ever stop respecting and loving our father Kumuyi. I am not a deeper life member but this man of God has never compromised with the true message of salvation yet very high and mighty. As for me and others the gospel is revelation of the deep love of God shown to man through his son Jesus Christ who came and died for all men to repent, quit sining and accept him (Jesus) as their Lord and saviour knowing that there will be an eternal consequences for anyone who does so and anyone who refuses to do so. Ofcourse if you believe and confess him as Lord you will be saved, but if you do not believe even all your good deeds are useless because our own righteousness can not save us. Romans 10:12-13 [KJV] [12] For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. [13] For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. The scriptures says our righteousness is like a filthy rag before God because all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. This is why Jesus the righteous one has to be the one to come die for all. No one was qualified among mortals to pay the price of sin. |

Paulnoma:If God says he hates something why are you arm twisting him. God is love not evil, only an evil God will sentence his creation to burn infinitely for a sin he committed in a finite world. You don't even know the God you serve. All those revelation, rapture won't happen bro. Emancipate yourself. |
| Re: Why Some Pastors Avoid Preaching About Hellfire by angelboy01(m): 2:20pm On Jun 28 |
Reloadedisraelp:Hell doesn't exist, what you dreams about is nothing about what you have allowed fear to create into your subconscious mind. God is love, not evil. |
| Re: Why Some Pastors Avoid Preaching About Hellfire by angelboy01(m): 2:26pm On Jun 28 |
Dtruthspeaker:God is love not evil bro, please understand that. A loving God won't sentence his creation infinitely for a sin he committed in a finite world.. An omniscient, omnipotent God already knew me before he formed me. So why will he create me to burn in hell for a meaningless sin as little as adultery. Even an eartly judge won't sentence you to death by burning.. |
