A Journey Through The Halls Of Hell by PastorOluT(m): 5:59am On Nov 03, 2013
A JOURNEY THROUGH THE HALLS OF HELL

There are many journeys I would like to take. I would like to go to the beautiful Hawaiian Islands or up the snowy Alcan Highway to Alaska, or across the Atlantic for a tour of the Holy Land. But there is one journey I never want to take-and that’s a journey through the halls of Hell.
You say, “But even an earthly father (no matter how rude) would not think of sending his children to place like Hell. Do you mean to charge our loving GOD with tormenting his children in a Hell of fire and brimstone?” And the answer is, “No-God does not send His children to Hell” Unsaved sinners are not the children of God, but children of the devil (see John 8:44). God’s children never go to Hell, but the children of the devil all go there. And God will never send anyone to Hell. One who goes there, will go because of his own deliberate choice. God wills that all men be saved, and thus Hell was not prepared for man, but the devil and his angels (see Mathew 25:41).
The bible teaches that there is a Hell, that Hell is a literal place of torment, and that Hell is eternal punishment.

THERE IS A HELL

Jesus gave an account of the death of two men, as recorded in Luke 16. The one died and was carried by the angels into the presence of God. The other opened his eyes in Hell. The rich man (who refuse to repent Luke 16:30) was once a man who lived and walked on earth exactly as we are doing now. But today he is alive and awake and conscious in Hell.
The bible says, “The wicked shall be turned into Hell” (Psalm 9:17). You may not believe it now, but you’ll not be in Hell five minutes until you will be convinced that there is a real place of punishment. The kindest man who ever lived, said, “But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Hell” (Mathew 10:28). It’s true that some people with softest smile will tell us that saints and sinners all alike, will turn up in Heaven at last. They say that both Nero and Paul, Jesus and Herod, Elijah and Jezebel-that each will come out on the same side of coin on the judgment throne. But if it is reasonable to hold out the hope of Heaven as a reward for serving God, it is just as reasonable to hold out the fear of Hell as a penalty for rejecting God’s plan of salvation.
The words uttered by the unsaved in their dying moments, also testify of the existence of a burning Hell. It is not pleasant to see the ungodly die. Charteres on his death-bed said, “I will give one hundred fifty thousand dollars to have it proofed that there is no Hell.” The infidel Adams cried, “I am lost, I am lost! Damned! Damned forever! When Volataire lay dying, his condition became so frightful that the nurse who stood by, later said, “For all the wealth of Europe I will never want to see another infidel die”
Road repairs were being made on one of the main Pennysylvania. At the place where the construction began, there were two signs. The first said “Travel at your own risk.” The other said, “Road closed beyond the cemetery.” That last sign expresses the view point-nothing beyond death. But the bible teaches that there are two roads-the one lead to life everlasting, and the other to eternal damnation.

HELL IS A PLACE OF TORMENT [/b]

Hell is more than the torment of a guilty conscience. Hell is not the grave. The rich man (in Luke 16) said, “I am tormented in this flame.” He wanted his brothers to repent “lest they also come to this place of torment” Repenting would not have kept his brother from the grave, because all people die-but repenting would have kept them from Hell.
Hell is not just some spiritual state. The rich man in Hell knew he was not merely in some hazy, cloudy mixture of nothing, for he wanted his brothers warned lest they come to this [b]PLACE
. Hell is real place, and its inhabitants suffer real torments. Consider the agony and imagine the anguish of that poor lost soul to whom a drop of water would have been a taste of Heaven.
Even if you are not sure[b] HELL[/b] is a place of torment-why needlessly take a chance? A skeptic was teasing his Christian friend, he asked, “George what would you say if when you die you find there wasn’t such a place as Heaven after all?” The smiled and said, “I will say I have a fine time getting there anyways “Then the Christian companion shot back with a more difficult question: “Fred, what would you say if when you die, you found there was such a place as Hell afterwards?” That’s a sensible question to think about, especially if you have been scoffing at the idea of eternal damnation in Hell.

It took the torment of Hell to turn the rich man thoughts towards God. Are you going to be like him? Are you going to wait until you are burning in Hell before you get concerned? The tragic fact is that the harvest would be past, the summer ended, and it will be too late.

HELL IS ETERNAL PUNISHMENT

If we could get a vision of the sinner’s agony and pain during his first five minutes in Hell, and then add to that miserable condition the word “everlasting”, we might have some concept of what it would mean to go to Hell.

The bible says much about the duration of Hell. Daniel 12:2 says that some shall awake to shame and “everlasting contempt.” Mark 3:28 contains a warning of Jesus concerning the danger of “eternal damnation.” Jesus says (Mathew 25:46), “And these shall go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into life eternal.” The expression “Forever and ever” is used thirteen times in the book Revelation. Nine times it refers to the existence of God. One time it refers to the duration of Heaven. Once it describes the torment of devil in Hell, and twice, exactly the same expression (forever and ever) refers to the duration of the suffering of the lost in Hell. If the existence of God is forever and ever, then the lost in Hell will be there just as long-forever and ever.
Hell grows more Hellish as eternity marches on. The abyss becomes more dense and fiery. To die would be a happy release, but death would not enter there.

The bible says, “Whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire” (Revelation 20:15). Is anyone reading this tract whose name is not in the book of life? Remember that all of us are sinners (Romans 3:23). Yet God loves us and has a plan for our salvation (John3:16). Unbelievers are under condemnation (John 3:18). But Jesus Christ died for us (Romans 5:cool. And He is our only hope of salvation (Acts 4:12). Open the door of your heart and receive Him as your savior today.

Are you prepared for the second coming of Jesus?

Spending unique quality time in the presence of the Father daily to pray and read the bible, will keep one spiritually inclined and alert!

Stay blessed and remain rapturable

sorry Bro, Hell Fire the way it is preached is a LIE and doctrine of demons.

God is not in the mafia business of using threats to get his way, sounds more like SATAN.

Thanks.

Bro I will want us to discuss this if u will? Starting from the scriptures quoted giving me ur own interpretations in the light ofthe word.

Okay.

Let me ask you a question : If you came to realize that HELL does not exist, will that take out the power of your preaching ?

Smile, nope the power is in the message of the cross (message of Hell inclusive) which is the total gospel, but this is not the way I want us to go about it. Lets look at scriptures n allow it to interprete itself.

Let us start with this;

And do not fear the those who kill the body but can not kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

Matthew 10:28

What's ur interpretation of this, n pls let us stick to bible and not what we think is right or not based on feelings.

My own question....1.where will everybody in saudi arabia go to2.where will our ancestors who where worshipping idols before christianity came to our shores go? I believe these two questions are straightforward so i require straightforward answers.
Re: A Journey Through The Halls Of Hell by Oduduwaboy(m): 9:58pm On Nov 30, 2013
Hmmmmmm.....Hell is real to you because that is what you were scared with since you were born !

My ordinary human mind believes no self -respecting God will create a lake of fire where he knows about 99% of his creations will somehow end up in....including the hell preachers ( remember narrow is the way that leads to eternal life.....!)

Please stop all these scare mongering . Jesus has been coming for the past 2000 years .....

Nice ASSERTION, but this is just what u think n feel, what does the bible really teaches about Hell?

If u believe the bible then lets look at the scriptures together concerning Hell, n if u dont believe the bible lets look at the validity of the bible?

Hell is real...as long as hell here means the lake of fire and not "a temporary place of punishment".

I believe hell/lake of fire is where all the ungodly will be destroyed at the end of time, I don't see hell as a separate place from the lake of fire because the bible doesn't teach this.

Hell=A place of burning=Lake of fire=Everlasting fire.

In other words I don't believe there is one place where devil is waiting for sinners to come or a place where a sinner goes immediately he dies, no, this idea sounds more like that of the belief of hell/hades in greek mythology which plato layed down.

Devil is waiting for his own punishment too in this same hell we are talking about, he is not tormenting some sinners somewhere but rather possessing the ungodly with his demons 'here on earth'.

Hell is a future event where the ungodly will be destroyed.

This verse doesn't say much as regards the issue here, it means don't fear those that threaten to kill you In this life because they can't take away your eternal life in the hereafter, but fear God who can destroy you in hell(lake of fire) eternally.

This verse doesn't prove anything much to me, if at all its proving something, it is proving that the body and soul can be destroyed.

I used that to state the obvious there is a Hell, since u believe that we move directly to Luke 16:19-31. The story of Lazarus and the rich man to prove instant judgement, and also that presently Hell and Heaven remain n some are already there.

So we look closely into this!

but you are confusing things.

The hell mentioned in this parable is hades which means the place of the departed or gravedom.


Jesus only used Gehenna ( hell ) in the context of punishment, in this case destruction.


So my question to you is :

- do we have 2 hells
- if the bible says after death is judgement , then why are people in hell before judgement day, does this mean there are 2 judgments.
- show me in ONE bible verse where Jesus took paradise with him to heaven


I can ask more questions but let me wait for answers to these for now.

There is nothing to miss here bro, u call everything in the scriptures parable which is where the problem lies. What Jesus said was that there is a destruction of the body n the soul in Hell after death, meaning after death that's not the end.

Concerning Hell, yes there is Hell n lake of fire, Mathew10:28, Luke 16:19-31, Revelation 20:15 . Also there are two kind of Judgement so to say (I enjoin u to read my thread Judgment) so we can discuss that. But lets take it one at a time.

The case of Lazarus n the rich man shows that there is no soul sleep after death, also 'cos man was created as an immortal soul that cant die, though he dies in the flesh bt the soul/spirit lives on!

How can you reconcile this with other scriptures that says a person sleeps at death?

When lazarus, who Jesus ressurected, died did he go to heaven or hell?
