Going to He!!

(1/4) > >>

JDH:
I found out today that according to my parents I am going to Hell. Evidently, believing in Jesus as my savior is not enough.  Believing he is the son of God is not enough.  Trying to follow his example is not enough.  Actually, according to my parents and my dad who is a preacher you must believe in hell or you will definately go there. 
Of course I'm not too terribly concerned for my sake.  I don't believe hell exists so how can I go there.  I guess what really concerns me is that my parents haven't called me for about 2 months (I've called them the last 5 times we've talked).  They don't seem too concerned that I'm going to hell.  At least not enough to call me.
I was thinking though.  That since like me you are all going to hell, <<Sarcasm implied>> when we meet up there let's throw a party (I'll bring the chips).

we now know the truth! i agree, but that does not mean we will not face judgement at some point. while i would that God would choose me to be raised first and rule and reign with His Son for the melennial, i have no way of knowing that and just knowing the truth doesnt qualify me. to say or tell someone God will eternally punish them is serious and blasphemy. just my thinking.............rick

Hi Joel.

I have been rejected by some members of my family too (my mother and a sister). Not for Christ...just because we are dysfunctional! But it still hurts either way. In your case though with your family you are living what Jesus said would happen. If I am understanding these scriptures correctly. I feel as if God has wiped the slate clean and I am learning everything all over again. Praise God! It actually makes sense this time.  :)

Luke: 49-53
49I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?

 50But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!

 51Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:

 52For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.

 53The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

and...

John 15:11-27
11These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.

 12This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.

 13Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

 14Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.

 15Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.

 16Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

 17These things I command you, that ye love one another.

 18If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.

 19If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

 20Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.

 21But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.

 22If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin.

 23He that hateth me hateth my Father also.

 24If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.

 25But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.

 26But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:

 27And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.
