Knowing the truth the hell message really bugs me

(1/4) > >>

Nikoa:
 About 7 months ago a decided that I needed to return to my First Love and get my life back in order with Christ.  I had always believed in Hell and did my fair share of witnessing trying to save loved ones, friends and even strangers especially when I was a new believer.  With my new walk I started listening to Ray Comfort from the Way of the Master and even ordered his "how to witness" kit.  I really started to believe that my family would be in hell and got very depressed.  I remembered back just a few months earlier when my youngest son was just learning to walk and he put his little baby hand against the glass of our gas fireplace for a mere second and what that looked like.....almost like he was he was holding a baseball the blister was so big..very painful.  I thought...my family and even myself could one day be burning for ever and ever and ever in this place....WHY!!!!!!  I prayed out to God...PLEASE HELP ME UNDERSTAND!  I would go to the Gym in the morning and when I would come home I would be going the opposite direction of the traffic heading to work and I would think...is this it?  Is this what it would look like if everyone were to die today....6 lanes of backed up traffic heading for eternal torment forever and just a handful going to everlasting peace?  I was so disturbed which lead to some depression (and I'm a happy person by nature).  THEN..Then I found this site.. I was very cautious and very slow in reading at first as it went against everything that I had been taught for so many years.   I started to read more and more and realize that this made so much sense.  I have to say that it shook me to my core.  My whole foundation crumbled not knowing what to believe.  Well, after reading and reading and listing, it's under new construction.  Now I know that there is no literal hell of burning flesh.  I know it.  Now I have another problem.  I am so upset when preacher teach on hell I have to speak up.  Not sure if it's right or not but it's just were I am right now.  It makes me sooo mad hearing that message.  Just wanted to talk to somebody and this feels like a great place to do that.  Ive got a longggg wayyy to go!

Hey Nikoa,

I used to listen to Ray Comfort a lot and even ordered a few of his witnessing dollar bills. Seems crazy now. I still get his emails and mostly ignore them but every once in awhile feel the need to write back. I doubt he reads them. Some poor secretary I'm sure.

What most of us seem to do is quit listening to preachers. I no longer attend church or watch Christian TV. The hell doctrine always drove me crazy and I argued with God about it every day for decades until I found Ray's site almost 4 years ago.

That youtube video is gross!

Honestly I was almost at the point of standing on the street corner.  I figured if hell is true then every waking second needs to be dedicated to warning other people that are going there.  One of Ray Comfort's messages even made me believe that if I wasn't doing that then I too would be there.

"Preachers" like that just LOVE putting people in bondage like you describe. Throw down those chains and don't look back.

They say don't shoot the messenger.  Well, I yell at the the messenger every time Ray Uncomfort and Kirk the Cameraman come on my TV.  That's right, the TV is the hapless messenger I'm speaking of (I'm not gonna shoot my TV, yet).  Iv'e tried sending e-mails to these clowns several times but they would'nt waste their time with me.  But I've saved the e-mails and giggle at them from time to time.  I can't stand their heretic witnessing styles.  I wish they would interview me.  Man, those poor blind saps that they witness their hell crap to, who start crying.  Makes me want to scream and start shooten.
