Jesus spoke more on Hell than Heaven...

willieH: Hi all... :D
JESUS actually, in approximately 3.5 yrs... of ministry on earth, only (as far as Biblical notations we have available) Only spoke of this topic in any of the terms (mis)translated HELL, only on 7 occasions...
GEHENNA...
(1) Sermon on the mount: Matt 5:29-30,22 and Mark 9:43,45,47... all 6 on the SAME OCCASION reported by both Mark and Matthew...
(2) Warning the Apostles to fear: Mark 10:28 / Luke 12:5 two mentions...SAME OCCASION...
(3) Upbraiding the Pharisees: Matt 23:15, 33 ...2 mentions ...SAME OCCASION
(4) Warning against offending little ones: Matt 18:9 ...one mention, ONE OCCASION
HADES...
(1) Capernaum exalted to heaven, then brought down to hell (hades) Mt 11:23 / Lk 10:15 ...two mentions on SAME OCCASION
(2) Lord says He will build His church: Mt 16:18 ...one mention, ONE OCCASION
(3) Parable of Rich man & Lazerus: Lk 16:23 ...one mention, ONE OCCASION
GEHENNA... 4 Occasions... 11 total mentions of this word...
HADES... 3 Occasions... 4 total mentions of this word...
Seven total occasions, and only 15 total utterances of either word... not much ATTENTION to the potential subject, especially for 3.5yrs worth of teaching...
His mentions of Heaven were over 100+ even though some were multiple mentions on single occasions... but 100+ far exceeds 15...
Peace... ;)
...willieH ;D
Peace...

Hi
I saw this exact quote myself last week on another forum, which was also discussing hell. Anyway It can't possibly be true because the prosperity teachers tell us that Jesus spoke more about money than anything else ?
I might be wrong but I believe Jesus spoke more about The Kingdom than anything else

this is just a word search but it pretty much sums it up:
hell=16
death=22
fire=23
worm=3
darkness=18
judgment=26
gnashing=7
total=115 lets round it up to 120 :-*
life=68
heaven=128
total=196, lets round it down to 180 :P
yes this is just a word search yet one can see there is NO way Jesus talked more about hell
than heaven, death than life, darkness than light ....ETC.
these people who say he talked about hell more than heaven are only parroting what they have heard
and are a fullfillment of amos:8:11
Amo 8:11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:
its is our job to:
Mat 25:44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
and so in gentleness we feed them and give them drink true bread tis Christ.....etc.
may the Lord bless you all
inlove

How fitting.
What did I see in one of our "small town local newspapers" this week?

I usually can't get past about 3 sentences from him before I move on.
And some folks have this to say when they spar with Pastor Huck.

MovieMaker:
You know, one of the things I have always noticed (and maybe I am off the mark?) is that when terms like "unquenchable" or "everlasting" are used to describe fire -- this only denotes that the FIRE is everlasting, not necessarily the length of stay IN the fire.
