This may sound bad, but I kind of giggle inside sometimes when I hear about hell anymore.  The more I read the Scripture and the more I read here, hell just sounds absolutely ridiculous!  And it amazes me how others have done the same thing I did-beg for the truth, and that's when God opened their eyes.  I guess when you think you already know the truth (ie Hell), there's no reason to ask or beg for it, right?  I am just in awe of God!  Sorry if my comment is in the wrong place-I just had to share. ;)

Hi Beth,

I know exactly what you mean. I knew many in the church who could talk down to anyone because of their belief. ESPECIALLY when they were asked to explain it :)

And they think we are lost..... :)

Thanks so much for sharing and welcome to the forum.

Love in Christ,
Darren

Welcome Beth,

I know what you mean as far as this idol of the heart eternal hell hole business goes, the reactions are amazing when I speak to some of my family and friends about this. I might get a look like they are thinking I have finally lost my mind to the look of a child when someone tells them there is no Easter Bunny, once our eyes are opened to the Truth of the matter it does seem more than a little ridiculous.

His Peace to you,

Joe

Beth,

You "nailed" it with that statement.  Those "Christians" who are still in spiritual darkness, believe their "man-made" doctrines are truth.  They do not know they are spiritually blind.  Jesus addresses this very issue at John 9:41; i.e., those who are blind but think they have sight.  In addition, they believe the "lie" because until you are blessed with spiritual sight, you are experience a "strong delusion" (2 Thes. 2:11).  However, this is all a part of God's will and purpose at this time!

Beth,
LOL! I know exactly what you mean! At the same time, when I think of how misled people are, some of them being all of my closest loved ones, it makes me very sad. They've been misled by all arenas of the modern "Christian" life: church leaders, media like books magazines tracts and music, it's all around us! How ever did WE find a way out of that? Mind boggling.
