HELL (THROUGH THE EYES OF A 5 YR OLD TODAY)
hebrewroots98:
Dear All,
I just wanted to share with you of a situation that took place today while I was teaching Science to some of the 'Christian'home schooled kiddos. This has got to be one of the saddest, most grevious situations that I have experienced in quite awhile. (I know that I should not be surprised by this, and I am not; I am just saddened beyond words...my heart is crying for this little innocent boy and his 7 yr. old brother as well.)
This little precious boy stated so matter-of factly that...'when people die they go to heaven to be with JESUS or to hell and burn there forever and forever.' I know that this is no new revelation, but to see this sweet child who is so eager about life and so briliiant and full of innocence to have words such as this to come out of his mouth, ...well, I was just heartbroken immediately upon hearing him say this. I was actually speechless (for once ;)), while my partner knew my views (of there being no hell), she immediately knew that this innocent childs' statement bothered me greatly, so she said to him..."well, God will sort it all out in heaven one day."
Everyone here knows that we have all come from this same mindset and how we too belived in hell at one time. There was a time when I would have thought NOTHING of this "going to hell to burn forever and ever" statement, infact, I would have thought the young boy to be so spiritually wise, as compared to the other kids his age, as well as his parents beign wise for teaching their kids this hard lesson to have to bear.
So I guess what I'm trying to say is that I have never seen this woman as being anything but spiritual, but,now I have been made to see her in the opposite light...for who she really is...spiritually diabolical for misleading Gods' little children...AND THIS MAKES ME VERY ANGRY. Now I know that she is the most messed up spiritually compared to all of the other moms there! I have been given new eyes form God and I can finally see how she realy is; I am actually pretty amazed at just how we think that we know someone when really we were totally wrong. Interesting, but sad :'( to say the least.

Yeah, Susan, God has brought us a long way in opening our eyes to the truth hasn't He! Praise God!
It is very sad that this little boy (or any child) would have to bear the burden of thinking that God would burn anyone in Hell forever. :'( This teaching brings torment to the mind. How can someone have joy and peace when people they love are burning in hell? And how can people worship a God of Love that would do such a thing? I am so thankful that I no longer have these thoughts or concerns.
I have become very intolerant of such teaching these days.
Peace to you!

I talked to some kids a couple of years ago and their parents took them to a Haunted Hell House on Halloween.
It was just awful hearing them tell about it.
Here is the link to the The Hell House Outreach Kit! It's horrible that they would do this to children.

Yes Sue
I know what you mean. I too saw only the bad dark side of this world when my eyes started to open. Then I was blessed to be comforted by the thought that eyes that are not open do not see, discern or comprehend. It was because my eyes were open that I could see the dark!
We learn in BT that Gods way is to give us weak hearts that He grows to become strong in Him and His Spirit. We grow through a process of circumstances that contrast between evil and good. We begin by liking and enjoying evil then if God chooses us then He dragges us to Christ.
From LOF Part 15 D
GOD’S PEOPLE ARE IN BABYLON
The Church of God is
"in the wilderness."
And this Church has a name:
"MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH" (Rev. 12:6 & 17:5).
And just where do you suppose that God’s "chosen elect" come from? Why out of Babylon, of course:
"And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, COME OUT OF HER MY PEOPLE, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues" (Rev. 18:4).
Maybe the biggest single aspect of "coming out of Babylon" is giving up the unscriptural "free will"/"free choice" idol of the heart. We've seen the sin for which, the King of Assyria was punished by God, the sin of "free self will." Believing that he, himself, had the power of will and choice to act independently of God’s foreordained intentions.
This little child has a head start. :D Trust God. He has the plans for this child beginning with a testimony of faith in error and trust in horror that has to go through the process of refinement into the understanding of faith in Christ and trust in God as and when God will reveal and show these little blind eyes and hardened heart His light and His truth. It will happen.
God has started His plan in this childs life in preparation perhaps for a contrast that can happen in big terms too because great is his blindness and great will be his joy when God shows him HIS truth!
We are assured also that God will wipe away all tears........... all will know the truth and all will be saved. Hope this cheers you up because you already know all this! 8)
Peace to you

To All,
My precious one is 8 monthes old. He will know of hell and what it is, but he will no that there is NO hell. I wish for him to be aware of all the mythes and stuff out there. It is so nice to be a sponge right now, and hopefully when he gets old enough to learn some of this stuff, I will be able to remember it.
Susan,
Actually that is not surprising, again might I point out Lubbock? And all the churches? The churches have brainswashed many and will continue to do so, up until the time that things of this eon start to wrap up.
God is in control yet again.
Sincerely,
Anne C. McGuire
