Visions and visitations of hell
musicman:
What do all of these hell visits have in common? (well, besides that they're all a bunch of crap). Absolutely nothing!! Gee, you would think that if God were warning us of some horrific destination that the destination would be the same for all visitors. Sometimes there's fire, sometimes there's worms, sometimes there's demons ripping people apart, sometimes it smells like rotten egg farts. . . Oh, and I love the one where the damned are dancing the cha cha barefoot on hot coals or something. These people are ridiculous. There's way more to Ray's writing than teaching against the hell doctrine. His greatest teachings show what the scriptures say, not what they don't say.
Sorin:
Hahaha the cha cha on hot coals!
They also have in common that there is no way out of hell, yet they managed to get out. ::)
Also if there is no way out, then how is there a way in?
Deborah-Leigh:
Ray's.... greatest teachings show what the scriptures say, not what they don't say.
Well stated musicman!...and therein lies the difference between those who misrepresent God because they do not know Him and those who represent God because they do know Him and they study His Word and represent what God says not what man thinks or what they think He says! A huge difference. One is focused on God and the other is focused on illusions or devils doctrines.
Peace be to you

Good point, I noticed that too. Now I will answer my own question: we no more have to explain these visions than to explain people who have been abducted by aliens. I'm sure you can find many people who claim to have been to heaven, hell, other planets, etc. And don't forget near death experiences (most of which are positive rather than hellish, regardless of the person's faith.)
We can never base our faith on an experience someone says they had - even if it's our own experience. Truth comes from the Word of God, not the words of just anyone trying to sell a book or something.
Sorin:
I think the people who have been abducted by aliens, should get together with those who have been to hell, or other planets, and let them
discuss their craziness amongst each other.
That's just my opinion.
