On HELL---a few of God's random omissions!

(1/3) > >>

Duane:
Duane's random thoughts for the day are Biblical thoughts:
The book of Genesis records the creation of the heavens, earth, people, animals, plants, day/night, fishes of the sea and the creation of the land that divides the seas.
God then stepped back and looked at His creation and after every grouping He said:
"And I saw that it was good"! On the seventh day he rested.
On which day did God create Hell? (that is so important to fundamental theology) and when He added the fire and brimstone did He step back and "see that it was good"?

Later God gave specific instruction (Matthew 5:35-37) "thou shall NOT swear by heaven for it is God's throne, nor by Earth as it is His footstool, nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great king, nor by your head for you cannot make one hair white or black----more than this is from the evil one." IN ALL THE DETAILS, where is: "Thou shall not swear by HELL as it is God's punishment for the unrighteous for ever and ever and ever and ever--with NO CHANCE of reconciliation for the bad choices of the short lifespan on earth"?

John 3--Nichodemus comes to Jesus by night to seek information on gaining eternal life. "Ye must be born again" is explained, the water and the spirit-explined, the wind blowing back and forth- a mystery, and no man hath assended to heaven; and lastly the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. THE CLIMAX is vs 19! "And this is the CONDEMNATION!!!!! HELL! HELL! HELL! ?? NO! MEN LOVED DARKNESS MORE THAN LIGHT BECAUSE THEIR DEEDS WERE EVIL. (Talk about a missed opportunity to spew fire and brimstone--that was just downright ANTI-CLIMACTIC!

Duane, Hey!

Your three random thoughts on hell is way over the top! (sarcasm).  Is that how you count sheep at night... by thinking about that kind of stuff? (again, sarcasm).  I'm speaking for myself, because I certainly do!

Several years before joining this forum site I came to a belief in no everlasting punishment only because I replaced it with the doctrine of annihilation for the "wicked" which seemed much more reasonable to me at the time.

I don't believe there is one web site that even comes close to all biblical proof that supports the "no hell" doctrine better than Bible Truths.  Isn't it soooo nice to be with so many like-minded believers that have such a "civil" attitude and coherent understanding of such matters!

Here is a "hell" thought I used to wrestle/anguish with for many years.  I was visiting my brother one summer in Morganton, NC and while traversing the mountainous terrain in his truck, I vividly remember him pointing out to me a billboard near the edge of the narrow road.  The billboard depicted a man and woman's body projecting out of huge red, orange and yellow flames with the most grotesque expressions on their faces.  I don't remember the exact caption but it said something like - "Repent now or you will spend Eternity in Hell!"  At that time in my life my brother knew I was a charismatic bible thumpin' "man of God".  And, it is still imprinted on my mind and psyche to this day as he looked over at me with an unemotional face and said, "Doug, why would God do something like that?"  I kinda sank low in my seat and wanted to become invisible.  Of course I had not ONE answer to give him.  Further on down the road I felt a tear come to my eye...

Duane:
Doug--than you for sharing that--and YES! my thoughts come at night when I "am too awake to be tired; and, too tired to be awake!"  Most of the time thy come all written in my mind and all I do is copy them off.  It is like God just lends me a copy of what he has all ready written and I type it out.  Here is another pre-packaged quote":
Duane Gevert
Now, Duane's insight on the "spiritual":

"God allows DIFFERENT trials, of DIFFERENT durations, to DIFFERENT people, for DIFFERENT purposes, producing DIFFERENT results --many times the REASONS are known ONLY to Him." --Duane Gevert

It pays to have apnea sometimes!
In Christ,
Duane

santgem:
God creates hell when the time Adam and Eve sinned. God will abolish hell when God will be All in All.

Hell is a myth, no such place exists.
