I advise you, to be sober and reflect on eternity...heaven and hell are real. The same God that kills also make alive. The same God that is very kind is also very severe and terrible in judgement...the choice is yours. It doesn't take anything from you to believe, rather gives real hope everlasting....

So what if hell is real?

I should hide under the ocean right

Ok it's real, thanks but d fact is I don't give a f

Christians and their fear fuelled hell preaching again?

Hell always sounded like a cynical marketing ploy designed to make people afraid to leave or displease the particular sect. And it seemed to really kill empathy - 'god says they burn, they burn' doesn't make me think of someone being full of love and compassion and all that.

Eternal punishment for finite transgressions always seemed abusive to me. How can someone look at the idea of a being who would condemn people to that and call it love?

Even when I was a Christian Hell was just too weird for me to accept. Infinite punishment for finite offenses is an eye for an eye on steroids. Punishing people for disobeying nit-picky rules makes God an abusive parent. One reason often given for punishment is to teach the offender not to offend again, but if punishment is eternal then how can the offender benefit from this teaching? Jesus is supposed to be into forgiveness but forgiveness shouldn't involve eternal suffering. Hell isn’t redemptive, it isn’t leading to repentance, it’s simply pain for pain’s sake.

I love this quote: “Heaven and hell seem out of proportion to me: the actions of men do not deserve so much.”

and of course I get the rationalisation of hell by Christians saying its moral accountability and saying bad people go to hell;
that's nonsense and they know it!!!

If Yahweh is real and omniscient, that means he already decided that we're going to hell before he even created us. But if this omniscient deity allows for deathbed conversions, then it doesn't matter what kind of life you lead. You could be a brutal dictator who massacred tens of millions of people, yet still get into heaven if you tell Jesus you're sorry. Your victims could all go to hell for eternity if they never repented. That's how bleeped up Christian morality is.

Maybe Christians can answer a few questions for me. The Bible says that there is ONLY ONE way to get into Heaven: by accepting salvation through Jesus.

So it follows that the Christians who ran the Nazi death camps can get into heaven. But their 6 million Jewish victims must burn for all eternity in the pits of Hell. I've talked to many Christians about this and they just pretty much accept it.

My questions are:

1. How f***ed up do you have to be to believe Nazis can go to Heaven but their 6 million Jewish victims must burn? That's just sick. But Christians believe it. What the f*** is wrong with you people?

2. Why would ANYONE willingly worship a god that would act like that? Is it just a fear thing (better known as cowardice)? And

3. Even if you get into Heaven what makes you think you'll be safe with a psycho god like that running the place? What's to stop your god getting a wild hair up his ass one day and sending Christians to a place so bad it makes Hell look like an ice cream parlor? He used to like the Jews too. Or so the story claims. What makes you think you're safe?

Thanks for this.

I am a Christian. An educated one I believe, and I appreciate the continuous search for knowledge. I often wonder, If we as humans can build a modern civilisation driven by innovation, science and continuous improvement, why do we then choose to be dumb when it comes to understanding the teachings of Christ and the service of God? I’d like to address a lot of what you said, not sure typing will allow me enough space to share some of my perspectives. That said, I agree with a lot of your sentiments.

The major problem is, most christians today(especially in Africa), do not understand the concept of God, the sacrifices of christ and what is expected of us. Our experience of him is largely influenced by doctrines and denominations. Doctrines and denominations are dangerous, as are often driven by greed, manipulations for financial gains and so on. So pastors use scare tactics, twist the bible for their own selfish gains. Gullible members run with it and so on. And once you refuse to be gullible, or ask questions they seem not to wriggle their way from, you are demonised and pronounced a candidate of hell.

One thing I am certain of is this: Nobody, not even your pastors will get eternal life by virtue or their own works , because by default and nature, all of us are sinners. We sin daily, leaders and extremists only like to demonise other sinners to keep the agenda. To me, that’s why this Gospel based on the threat of hell is doing a disservice to the body of Christ. As Christians, the best template is that of Christ. All his friends and disciples sinned daily (Peter, Mathew, Judas, etc). He never was judging or threatening them. Jesus himself expressed weakness in human form (he almost chickened out at the cross). God knows this fact, and in his infinite mercy, wanted his son to be the sacrifice for all. So you are not going to “Heaven” because you sin less than others, you are going because you acknowledge there is a God who loves you no mater what, and he sent his son to die do you. Simple as! Every other thing is CAP. Once you start understanding this, you are motivated to build a relationship with him, and so on. Most of what is regurgitated today in the church is simply humans teaching God from their own very limited world view!

Like I said, I don’t have all the answers, but I usually love critical assessments like this. We must keep asking questions! Shalom!

The Jews never taught about hell fire. Periods when the scriptures were exclusive right of the clergy, many subtraction and additions were made to suit their interest, including the contradictory hell fire. Ecclesiastes 9:5 shows hell fire teaching is inconsistent with bible teaching.

Jesus the Lord and master of all things taught about the fire of hell, even the apostles of the Lord.

1 Corinthians 15:51-52
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.


You Believe or you Don't Believe, The Agenda on God's Time table is the Mystery of the RAPTURE of the Saints.

That day is the Great day of The Lord. Its gonna be a Day of Joy, Happiness and Settlement for all who will make it. While a day of total Confusion, Sadness, Regrets, Pains for those who miss it. A day where all who have Refused, Rejected and Scorned at the Free Gift of Salvation from JESUS Christ will roll, Cry and wail " Had I Known"

Isaiah 13:6-11
6 Howl ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.
7 Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's heart shall melt:
8 And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames.
9 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.
10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
11 And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.


No Matter How Hardened, Bold, Intellectual or whatever you Have Claimed to be all these while, you Will Cry "HAD I KNOWN " on that day.

Revelation 6:15-17
15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?


Today, Death has become a kind of Sport. The rate at which People are Dying is Fearful. The thought that comes to mind is where are they Going to? Some Came across our Messages, but Felt, this is not for Me! I still have so much Years to live. Right now they are in Hell Screaming and Wailing " HAD I KNOWN "

Anyone who Departs this Earth Without Jesus Christ is Guaranteed to Join the Wailers in Crying " HAD I KNOWN "

Today is another Opportunity for Repentance for Somebody! Today might just be Last time of Hearing or Seeing the Gospel. Today is a day of Salvation. Today is a day to Confess all sins to The MASTER and seek for Forgiveness.
Today is the Appointed day of Salvation! Don't Mess with it! Surrender All to JESUS. Mercy Expires at Death! There is No in the Grave!
Repentance is Past (RIP) once your Eyes Closes in Death!

Calm down and Humble yourself Before GOD Almighty. Repent , Amend your Ways and Surrender to JESUS.

The Most Important thing Anyone can have in Life is not Wealth, Properties, Degrees, Business, Position, Power, Wife, Husband or Whatever! The Most you Can Gift yourself is JESUS Christ!

It is a Fearful thing to Fall into the Hands of an Angry God..

In all you Do Here on Earth, Remember, Sinners will Cry HAD I KNOWN

‘My Father is greater than I’ (John 14:28)

‘My father is greater than all.’ (John 10:29)

Jesus can not be God if God is greater than him. The Christian belief that the Father and son are equal is in direct contrast to the clear words from Jesus.

Jesus never instructed his disciples to worship him

If Jesus was God, he would have sought worship for himself

Since he didn’t, instead he sought worship for God in the heavens, therefore, he was not God.

Jesus worshipped the only true God

‘that they might know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.’ (John 17:3)

‘he continued all night in prayer to God.’ (Luke 6:12)

‘Just as the son of man did not come to be served, but to serve’ (Matthew 20:28)

How did Jesus pray to God?

‘he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, ‘My Father’ (Matthew 26:39)

‘During the days of Jesus’ life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission.’ (Hebrews 5:7)

Who was Jesus praying to when he fell on his face?

Was Jesus crying in tears to himself pleading to be saved from death? No man, sane or insane, prays to himself! Surely the answer must be a resounding ‘No.’ Jesus was praying to ‘the only true God.’ Jesus was the servant of the One Who sent him. Can there be a clearer proof that Jesus was not God?

The Bible says that Jesus was God’s servant

‘Behold, My servant, whom I have chosen, in whom My soul is well pleased.’ (Matt 12:18) Since Jesus is God’s servant, Jesus can not be God.

The Bible says that Jesus could not do anything by himself

‘The son can do nothing by himself; he can only do what he sees his Father doing.’ (John 5:19)

‘I can of mine own self do nothing.’ (John 5:30)

The Bible says that Jesus did not consider himself equal with God

and that God performed miracles through Jesus & Jesus was limited in what he could do:

‘But when the crowds saw this, they were awestruck, and glorified God, who had given such authority to men.’ (Matt. 9:cool

‘a man attested to you by God with miracles and wonders and signs which God performed through Him in your midst.’ (Acts 2:22)

‘he went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.’ (Acts 10:38)

If Christ was God, the Bible would simply say that Jesus did the miracles himself without making reference to God. The fact that it was God supplying the power for the miracles shows that God is greater than Jesus.

Also, Jesus was limited in performing miracles

One time when Jesus tried to heal a blind man, the man was not healed after the first attempt, and Jesus had to try a second time (Mark 8:22-26).

Once a woman was healed of her incurable bleeding. The woman came up behind him and touched his cloak, and she was immediately healed. But Jesus had no idea who touched him:

‘At once Jesus realized that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and asked, ‘Who touched my clothes?’ (Mark 5:30)

‘He could not do any miracles there, except lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them.’ (Mark 6:5)

Quite obviously, someone with such limitations can not be God. The power of miracles was not within Jesus.

1 Corinthians 15:51-52
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.


You Believe or you Don't Believe, The Agenda on God's Time table is the Mystery of the RAPTURE of the Saints.

That day is the Great day of The Lord. Its gonna be a Day of Joy, Happiness and Settlement for all who will make it. While a day of total Confusion, Sadness, Regrets, Pains for those who miss it. A day where all who have Refused, Rejected and Scorned at the Free Gift of Salvation from JESUS Christ will roll, Cry and wail " Had I Known"

Isaiah 13:6-11
6 Howl ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.
7 Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's heart shall melt:
8 And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames.
9 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.
10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
11 And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.


No Matter How Hardened, Bold, Intellectual or whatever you Have Claimed to be all these while, you Will Cry "HAD I KNOWN " on that day.

Revelation 6:15-17
15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?


Today, Death has become a kind of Sport. The rate at which People are Dying is Fearful. The thought that comes to mind is where are they Going to? Some Came across our Messages, but Felt, this is not for Me! I still have so much Years to live. Right now they are in Hell Screaming and Wailing " HAD I KNOWN "

Anyone who Departs this Earth Without Jesus Christ is Guaranteed to Join the Wailers in Crying " HAD I KNOWN "

Today is another Opportunity for Repentance for Somebody! Today might just be Last time of Hearing or Seeing the Gospel. Today is a day of Salvation. Today is a day to Confess all sins to The MASTER and seek for Forgiveness.
Today is the Appointed day of Salvation! Don't Mess with it! Surrender All to JESUS. Mercy Expires at Death! There is No in the Grave!
Repentance is Past (RIP) once your Eyes Closes in Death!

Calm down and Humble yourself Before GOD Almighty. Repent , Amend your Ways and Surrender to JESUS.

The Most Important thing Anyone can have in Life is not Wealth, Properties, Degrees, Business, Position, Power, Wife, Husband or Whatever! The Most you Can Gift yourself is JESUS Christ!

It is a Fearful thing to Fall into the Hands of an Angry God..

In all you Do Here on Earth, Remember, Sinners will Cry HAD I KNOWN

God will only have mercy on whoever he desire.....
