HELL

[Tinky]

Hell is a place, a time, a consciousness, in which there is no love.

Richard Bach

Hell has three gates: lust, anger, and greed.

Bhagavad Gita

The hottest places in Hell are reserved for those who in time of great moral crises maintain their neutrality.

Dante Alighieri

The torture of a bad conscience is the hell of a living soul.

John Calvin

Indeed the safest road to Hell is the gradual one--the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts...

C S Lewis

If we had more hell in the pulpit, we would have less hell in the pew.

Billy Graham

Hell is truth seen too late.

Author Unknown

The lost enjoy forever the horrible freedom they have demanded.

C S Lewis

If sinners be damned, at least let them leap to Hell over our bodies. If they will perish, let them perish with our arms about their knees. Let no one go there unwarned and unprayed for.

Charles Spurgeon

I would rather go to heaven alone than go to hell in company.

R A Torrey

When sinners are careless and stupid, and sinking into hell unconcerned, it is time the church should bestir themselves. It is as much the duty of the church to awake, as it is for the firemen to awake when a fire breaks out in the night in a great city.

Charles Finney

I willingly believe that the damned are, in one sense, successful, rebels to the end; that the doors of hell are locked on the inside.

C S Lewis

Disbelieve hell, and you unscrew, unsettle, and unpin everything in Scripture.

J C Ryle

None sink so far into hell as those that come nearest heaven, because they fall from the greatest heights.

William Gurnall

Don't say that a loving God is going to send you to hell - He's not. The thing that's going to send you to hell is that you're a sinner and you don't want to admit it.

J Vernon McGee

How many souls have been blown into hell with the wind of popular applause?

Thomas Watson

Sin's first-born is death - and its last-born is hell

William Secker

I cannot preach on hell unless I preach with tears.

D L Moody

Hell is God's great compliment to the reality of human freedom and the dignity of human choice.

G K Chesterton

Conscience which should have been the sinner's curb here on earth becomes the sinner's whip that will lash his soul in hell. That which was the seat and center of all guilt now becomes the seat and center of all torment.

John Flaval

Those who go to Heaven ride on a pass and enter into blessings that they never earned, but all who go to hell pay their own way.

John R Rice

I believe that a great number of people are going to die and go to hell because they're counting on their religiosity in the church instead of their relationship with Jesus to get them to heaven. They give lip service to repentance and faith, but they've never been born again.

Adrian Rogers

You are not going to be lost when you get to hell. If you are without Christ, you are lost right now. Your trial is already over. You've already been sentenced. You're just waiting for execution morning to roll around.

Lester Roloff

A man can slip into hell with his hand on the door-knob of heaven.

Billy Sunday

Satan can make men dance upon the brink of hell as though they were on the verge of heaven.

Charles Spurgeon

You are hanging over the mouth of hell by a single thread, and that thread is breaking. Only a gasp for breath, only a stopping of the heart for a single moment, and you will be in an eternal world, without God, without hope, without forgiveness. Oh, can you face it?

Charles Spurgeon

It is a very remarkable fact that no inspired preacher of whom we have any record ever uttered such terrible words concerning the destiny of the lost as our Lord Jesus Christ.

Charles Spurgeon

People do not have to do something to go to hell; they just have to do nothing to go to hell.

John MacArthur

If I never spoke of hell, I should look on myself as an accomplice of the devil.

J C Ryle

I would rather go into the kingdom of heaven through the poor house than go down to hell in a golden chariot.

D L Moody

Excellent.Most of the unbelievers that I know at work laugh at the existence of hell.Well,I guess they are going to have a big surprise.They often say"well we can have a big party because everyone I know will be there". Oh no.Hell will be so dark and lonely with only you to regret all of the things you have done to get there.Their will be plenty of others but you will not see them.The biggest regret will be the choice you made not to believe in Jesus Christ.Imagine the most horrible time you have had on this earth and multiply it 100 times.That is hell.

If the Bible were not enough to convince me, reading the dreams of hell and NDE's would convince me that it is real.

[He giveth more grace]

Great quotes, there, Tinky.

I know, there is this widespread joke now that "well I might be going to hell but I'm dragging you with me" "i'm on the highway to hell" i even saw a tattoo someone got that said "hellbent hottie" if only they knew how unfunny it truly is. satan has really covered alot of ground. hell has turned into this spring break vacation destination.

[JTC]

One sad thing is nonbelievers don't believe Hell is real. That's why we see tatts like the one mentioned. This is one of Satan's best lies. But he has an even greater lie that lead to this one. Satan has most of the world convinced he's not real. So prideful arrogant people feel that if Satan isn't real, neither is hell.

Here's an interesting story that may help in dealing with nonbelievers. Back when I was 18, I quit believing God was real because the RCC did such a poor job in teaching me about God. And before that, when I was a real kid, I was very into mythology. I loved to read books on Zeus, and the other Greek and Roman gods. So at 18 when I left the RCC, I considered Jesus and the real God as another myth. And since Satan comes from the Christian traditions, I considered Satan another myth.

Well, by 25 I had gotten to know people who's lives were taken over by the evil. I don't think they chose that for themselves. I think bad parenting, poverty, and other bad people had put these people with no religious upbringing at all, into a place where Satan could get into them and control their lives. I didn't know much about God, but I knew something about Satan.

So at 26 or 27 I became convinced Satan is real. I then reasoned if he's real, and he's part of the Christian myth, I better reconsider the reality of God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. That was the beginning of my journey back to God. I'm still on it.

The point is because I became convinced Satan is real, that lead me to believe God is also real, because they are part of the same story.

So when you see a tatt or anything that speaks of hell or satan, you might say, I see you believe hell is real. So do you also realize Heaven is real? And then take it from there.

Sadly this was from a believer Researching the illuminati and govt conspiracies is how I came back to God. Kind of the same concept as yours that once I saw all the evil going on in the world for being what it truly is, part of satans dealings. There is abundant info out there that led me to believe that the elite of the world truly are under evil spells, probably literally sold their souls. And thus it made me pull closer to God than I ever have. Praise God.

So very true.Satan loves the deception of people not believing that their is a hell.Otherwise people might get really nervous and maybe take a look at it.

or take a look at themselves, a long hard one with their faults, their shortcomings, their failures, and grudges, their lies, their bad habits, their evil thoughts, their fights, their SIN. Some people are just not equipt to do that, and if they do they concvince themselves a loving God could not punish them for it. Hell can't be real because then I might have to change my way of living. Or if they really can't stand the thought of it, the idea of a moral and just God, and especially a hell, they just give up the whole shebang. And cling to their lifestyles. I wonder if this is why so many atheists believe in aliens..because they dont come with any guidebook outlining moral standards to live by.

I never thought about that! Wow, great insight!
