Is hellfire really a true teaching? Can we imagine that God, who is loving, will torment bad people in fire, for countless billions of years? OAM4J |

Zubbykan007:For you to imagine that God who is loving will torment bad people in a fire for countless billions of years, shouldn't you at least have a decent understanding of what it means to say God is loving... God is love? The statement that "God is Love" reveals to us that God is the embodiment of Love. Everything about God, of God, His every action is Love itself. What does this really mean? It means Love in action is seen when God... * drowned the world sparing only Noah and his family, along with the animals * rained fire and brimstone from the skies to burn the entirety of Sodom and Gomorrah * set confusion into the midst of the people at Babel * caused manna to fall from heaven to feed his people in the wilderness * caused quails to fall to feed Israel, and then caused all those who had eaten it to choke to death * caused the grounds to open up and swallow about 14,000 Israelites in one day * caused all generations of Israelites, 20 years and older, who came out of the land of Egypt to perish in the wilderness * signed His first covenant with His Children Israel, right before they entered the promised land of Canaan * handed his Israel over to the enemy so many times over the many millennia whenever He needed to have Israel punished for their sins ... * sent Jesus Christ, His new Covenant for all the world * sent His only Son to die so that man might be redeemed That is just a bit of what Love means. The God of the Bible does not apologize for who He is. He is Love and Love is He. So, my question to you is, is this the love you had in mind when you created this thread asking if Hell exists[b]?[/b] If not, don't you think you need to first understand God as He truly is? 1 Like |

Re: Is Hellfire Real by Kobojunkie: 12:57pm On Jun 07, 2020 |
LordReed:I don't understand why you would assume that your actions can be equated with that of God's. What am I supposed to do with that? Did you expect a response to that? |

Zubbykan007:I don't want to know either it is real of not but all I know is that I will not go there no matter what, because the Bible made me understand that it wasn't created for me, it was created for the devil and his angels, so why will I go to where isn't meant for me by doing evil, I will rather live a Holy and purified life so not to be dragged with devil to hell, I have a choice and I am talking it. |

Yes hell is real. And I know that God is the ultimate judge. He is the same God that rewards good deeds and punishes the wicked. We all cry out how the world is unjust, women being rapped and murdered, people kidnapped, genocides and massacres going on and so on. God is not like our government, he is not corrupt. When you do evil, you won't escape punishment. If you escape justice on earth, there is no way to escape the one at the other side. I tell people that instead of criticizing the punishment why not work on fulfilling the law. There is reward in doing good. If you are good, there's no need to worry about some burning hell fire.
