"Jesus preached to people in HELL!"
Kat:
John 15:18 If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you.
v. 19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.
Just thought this really fits with this topic.
mercy, peace and love

Hadn't you been given eyes to see and a friend of yours came up to you telling you about the nonexistence of hell and the salvation of all, you too would shun your friend. Their reaction is not weird. It is to be expected by us.
I now see that what's also to be expected is our attitude of disbelief when we see in others the same blindness that used to plague our lives.
"Oh the garbage that they pass along to these people as truth!"
We used to swallow this same garbage hook, line and sinker before. :-\
Let us not allow a spirit of provocation get the best of us.

Loverly, they believe themselves to be right not because they read what they know and believe from the scriptures but because they chose to believe what they were told what the scriptures say.
When I had first read Rays papers and saw all the scriptures he use in making his point, God had open my eyes at that time to these truths I was reading.
I remember this past summer being at a pool party and there was a couple who had also attended the pool party as well and this particular couple were very religious folks. They were talking about God to everyone there and so I had joined the conversation.......LOL
I went on to explain to this couple some of the things I was learning here at B.T. everything seem to be peaceful and fine at the time but when I started explaining to them about how excited I was to learn that HELL was a Christian hoax they became upset and said to me many things before getting up and literally leaving the pool party,
I remembered when I was apart of Christendom I use to have a great fear of death because I honestly believed in hell and being a sinner I believed it was my destiny until I came across Rays papers.
Believe it or not but in this life there are some people who derive pleasure in thinking that many people are going to hell after death to be eternally tortured without any hope of ever being released but they themselves feel exempt because they believe themselves to be righteous.
One thing about the blind, the blind are really blind , they cannot see and because they cannot see they cannot except God’s truths. :(
Anyways, it amazing to me that God chose me to understand some of these truths and for that, I am most thankful for.
Peace and love to all. :)

Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. Jhn 8:31-32
Then, you are the true Jew....... :)

Folks can get nasty when you tell them the wonderful truths of God. I haven't had anyone react in that manner, but a lot of people seem to just scoff and ignore what I have to say when I talk about it. I also have had people, including a pastor in a very conservative church, say that they would like it if what I said was true, but they know what their Bible says and don't want to take any chances.
That's a big thing in churches today. I think a lot of pastors know the truth deep down, but they choose to keep it a secret out of fear. Some fear the consequences of being wrong about that doctrine, some fear that their congregation will shrink which means less $$$ in their paychecks, some fear ridicule and loss of respect from their peers, etc.
