I was telling Smiles one night in chat my thoughts on the subject. In the Bible we're told about Heaven that eye hasn't seen, ear hasn't heard, neither has entered into man's heart what Heaven is going to be like. As I told Smiles, I believe the same principle can be applied to Hell; we can imagine with our limited imaginations what it will be like but I would rest well assured it's worse than what we ever want to imagine. Thank God He sent His only Son so that we didn't have to go there!

I know that hell is such an awful place that Jesus was willing to suffer and die just so I would not have to go there.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

AMEN <_<

I could not agree more with that statement.

Ok, I think I need to reword my question. I don't think I was very clear as to what I was asking :) Sorry about that, let me try again here.

"First, hardly anyone takes all the talk about hell being a place of fire and brimstone literally. The Bible uses a host of metaphors to describe this place..."

Let me just use this quote from the book. Is it true that "hardly anyone" takes it literally? I always thought that it was a literal description of hell, but this author seems to think differently. SO, let me ask again, what do you think about this?

Thank you Kindly

Daniel.

I believe hell is a literal place that doesn't exist yet. I also believe in part that what the author said was true. (Hell is being w/o God) I also don't believe its a place where the devil is having fun torturing you but a place where all the enemies of God go. I think that its a place for God's enemies that provides a sort of mercy for them. I don't think that darkness can exist with light...therefore someone with sin I believe would be grateful that God provided a place of Hell to remove them from his perfect being.

I believe that hell is the total absense of the presense of God. Even unbelievers have not felt what it's like to be completely out of Gods presense. Thats just my thoughts. Please don't bite my head off if you don't agree. Thank you.

God Bless You

I have read a book about a woman who went to hell.

She described it in a very shockimg manner.

Terrifying manner, I would say.

The images in hell that she saw were horrific.

Won't say them now.

But they are are well and truly frightening....

I'm so glad God sent His Son to die for us!

Thankful Yomo

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
