Is my father in Hell ?

[billie]

Well, I can tell you that anyone who never repented and confessed the Lord Jesus is definitely in hell if they died already.

I'm sorry, but you don't know that.

If you wish to make an issue out of this...let's not do it here. That is not what this thread is all about. If you must continue this...out of respect for the OP, start another thread.

Very wise man, uh, Man.

Dear Sister Rachel

{What if he is not there?}

Oh Sister! I cry for your distress!

Dear Lord

Deliver Your Daughter Rachel from the lies of the enemy.

"Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.

I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.

Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD."

In Jesus

Love, Your Joe

I think the only correct answer that can be given here has to be based on God being perfectly Just. That is his justice is always perfect.

I can only say to you in response to your question that I do not know where your father is right now...But I DO know that wherever it IS, it is perfectly RIGHT.

I cannot tell you where your father is because God has not consulted me on this issue. I do not know YOU and I do not know your Father either, so it would be impossible for me to know where your father is.

My mother was a very strong believer and when she passed God gave me a real sense of peace that she has gone to be with him. Of that I have NO doubt as God consulted me on this issue. He gave me the peace that passes all understanding, so I know that I have not lost my mother. I will see her again.

I can only share with you my own experience. I wont try to guess YOURS.

Regards,

Ben.

Frankly, I don't think anyone could find your statement very comforting in a time of uncertainty. God's justice is indeed perfect but it demands punishment for sin. God's justice says we are all guilty and deserving of His wrath. That is not good news. The good news is found in God's mercy, not His justice. That mercy is given in Christ Jesus. That is our hope and comfort. God's justice provides us no hope for reaching Heaven. That is done only through His grace and mercy.

We are not under the law, but under the Grace that Jesus gave us. You knew your father naturally, but you also knew him by his fruit. There a lot of people that will harp on one such commandment. Yes we should honor the sabbath and will build their doctrine on the sabbath only and anyone else that doesn't worship on saturday is destined for hell. Hello: read what Jesus said. You know I believe daily that we are to rest (from our trying to work things out in our own flesh)in the Lord and give him full reign of everyday. If your father had a relationship with Jesus Christ and maintained that relationship; you better believe he is in heaven!! And one day you will see him again-that is hope.

blessings,

The OP is asking for assurance, because she is unsure of her father's redemption, so if some have nothing comforting to add to the thread, then I suggest they should keep their insenstive remarks to themselves. We are here to encourage our brethren.

To Rachel

With Love!

"I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me."

"O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me."

"O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit."

"Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness."

"For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning."

"And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved."

"LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled."

"I cried to thee, O LORD; and unto the LORD I made supplication."

"What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?"

"Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my helper."

"Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;"

"To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever."

(Psalms 30)

Dear Lord

Please comfort Sister Rachel

In Jesus

Amen
