HELL
Who Goes To Hell?
Recently
I have found false teachings about HELL on the internet. It really disturbs me. I
know Satan is strong but he is also wrong! Everybody will
NOT go to Heaven. Universalism is a damnable heresy (2 Pet.2:1). I knew I must bring forth God's never erring
Word and show people what Hell is really like. There
really IS a HELL. It is a literal PLACE! And
most of the world's population will go there UNLESS they have
a change of heart.
Matthew 25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: [KJV] . . . Anyone who willingly and purposely rejects Christ, and those who have a superficial faith in Christ will go to Hell. Jesus called hypocritical believers goats. Real believers are sheep, and they prove that their faith is genuine by their good works.
Are all unbelievers condemned to Hell? My answer: Gen 18:25 That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right? [KJV] . . . The Judge of all the Earth ALWAYS does right! God knows the hearts of all people. He knows what you are really like, what you really think. You cannot fool Him! NO way! NO how! Jesus is the only Saviour from sin. Without Christ and His Holy Spirit, NO one can truly live a righteous life. Because of this, unbelievers are not saved, not only because they are not Christians, but because they have rejected the only Way to be right with God (Rom.5:1; 1 Cor.1:30). Only through acceptance of Christ, are we are given the power to live righteously. So without Christ, the Bible tells us that NO sinner can truly live righteously and holy, thus avoiding Hell.
Peter hits the nail on the head about salvation: 1 Peter 4:17-18 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? [18] And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? [KJV] . . . Since it is difficult for the righteous (those who believe God) to be saved . . . for those who have rejected Christ, it is impossible. With man’s own efforts, salvation is impossible, but with God all things are possible (Mat.19:26).
God has appointed Christ Jesus to be the Judge on Judgment Day (John 5:22). Now, a very serious question . . . when you stand to be judged and you see it is Jesus as the Judge, will you regret past decisions? I am sure that you have heard the Gospel of Christ. I am sure that you have had many chances to open the door to your heart to Jesus (Rev.3:20), because the Holy Spirit keeps trying to convict people's hearts. When you stand before Judge Jesus, He will open the books on you (Rev.20:12). IF your name is not in the Book of Life (Rev.20:15), the verdict is Hell. PLEASE consider this! If you have not believed God (1 John 5:10-12) and believed on the Name of Jesus (John 3:18; Acts 2:21; Rom.10:9-10,13; 1 John 3:23; 5:13), you will hear words you do not want to hear. IF you do not bow to Jesus NOW, one day you shall (Phil.2:10). God CANNOT lie!
IF a sinner truly repents and accepts Jesus, he will enter Heaven no matter how bad his sin was. True repentance brings complete forgiveness from God!
Psalms 103:12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us. (KJV) . . . East and west NEVER meet! You can go a million miles east and never meet up with west! When God forgives, He FORGIVES! We need to be more like Him!
Micah 7:19 He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea. (KJV) . . . Cast into the depths of the sea . . . never to rise again! Never to wash up on shore! And wonder of wonders, God does NOT go fishing for them. He FORGETS them!
Who is a God like unto thee?
- 1. He pardons our sin. Only God alone has power to save or to destroy.
- 2. He can heal backsliding, and restore them that are fallen.
- 3. He does NOT retain His anger forever. He is justly displeased because of sin, and He pours out His judgments upon the wicked; yet IF and when they return to Him, He is ready to save them.
- 4. He delights in mercy. Judgment is His strange work: but, He is always more ready to save than to destroy. Nothing pleases Him more than having the opportunity to show the repentant sinner His awesome mercy . . . without which that sinner must perish eternally in Hell.
- 5. He has compassion on us. What a blessing that is!
- 6. He will subdue our iniquities . . . He will bring them down, and bruise them under our feet.
- 7. He will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea. He will fully pardon us, and never ever remember those sins against us. God will plunge our sins into eternal oblivion, never more to come into sight or remembrance; like a stone dropped into the "depths of the sea."
Hebrews 8:12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. (KJV) . . . When we truly, sincerely repent (turn away from) our sins, those sins are forgive and forgotten! God remembers them NO more!
Hebrews 10:17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. (KJV) . . . Again! This Promise to forgive and forget!
1 John 1:8-10 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
[9] If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
[10] If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. (KJV) . . . If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Romans 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: (KJV) . . . Only our faith in Jesus and God's amazing grace saves us from Hell!
Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
[9] Not of works, lest any man should boast. (KJV) . . . NO church, NO rituals, NO works of any kind, NO amount of money, can save us from Hell. Only FAITH in Christ and God's grace. Eternal life is a GIFT!
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (KJV) . . . Eternal life is a GIFT from God! BELIEVE it! God CANNOT lie!
Anyone (whosoever) can be saved from Hell. Even a person on their deathbed can be saved. As long as a person has breath in them, they can still be saved! Believe this! God CANNOT lie! BUT, after a person dies physically, there is NO chance at all. Do NOT believe false teachers bringing damnable heresies (2 Pet.2:1). They lie! They are the devil's children (1 John 3:10) and the devil is the father of all lies (John 8:44). There is NO truth in the doctrine of Universalism! NOT everybody goes to Heaven! you must be born again spiritually, into God's family (John 1:12-13; 3:3-8, 14-18,36). IF a person is not born again, it shall be Hell for eternity! God's Gospel, not mine.
Luke 23:42-43 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.
[43] And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise. (KJV) . . . The thief on the cross next to Jesus, was literally on his death bed. When He repented of his sin and acknowledged Jesus was who He said He was, Jesus saved him.
The Bible calls this man a criminal. No one knows for certain how bad a criminal he was. It doesn't matter! His repentance and sorrow was evident. Jesus promised him eternal life that very day. He tells us something along this line too. John 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. (KJV) . . . Do you see that one little word "hath"? IF we believe, we HAVE eternal life now!
John 8:24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins. (KJV) . . . IF we refuse to believe, we die in our sins, meaning our sins are not forgiven, and we would go to Hell.
Does Hell have various degrees of punishment?
Yes, this humble servant thinks so. What does the bible say? Luke 12:47-48 And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.
[48] But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more. (KJV) . . . In our criminal system there are various degrees of punishment based on how serious the crime was. This Passage states that God's judgments are based on many factors. I am sure that God will consider all aspects in determining the level of punishment for each person.
I also believe this Passage applies to Heaven's citizens. Some will receive many rewards, others few. For instance, a person who has worked his/her entire life for the Lord shall receive a greater reward than someone who accepted Christ on their death bed.
Can souls be condemned to Hell for sinful thoughts? Again, I say yes. What does the bible say? Matthew 5:28-30 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. [29] And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
[30] And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. (KJV) . . .
Sin is described as wrong thoughts or deeds. Clearly deeds are worse, for sometimes thoughts are never put into action against another. BUT, Jesus tells us that IF we THINK of sexual intercourse with someone, we have already committed the sin. Very serious! Lust is adultery of the heart.
The Bible also clearly teaches us that anger is murder in the heart. 1 John 3:15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. [KJV] . . . The “Criminal System” cannot judge thoughts, because they really do not know what the person was thinking. BUT. . . God certainly can and shall judge our hearts! He is all-knowing (Job 31:4; 34:21; Ps.139:4; Pro.15:11; Eze.11:5; Heb.4:13). He shall take into consideration all our thoughts when it comes to judgment. Some will say "But, I cannot control what I think." Yes you can, with the Holy Spirit's help!
Is the Devil real? Or is he just a symbol of evil? Satan is real. He is an angel, an EVIL angel! Angels are real spiritual beings. God would not have prepared the Lake of Fire for the devil and his angels (Mat.25:41) if they were not real. God did NOT make a place of punishment simply as a symbol.
Why does God allow Satan to exist? Why does He allow him such power? I think it is God's way of testing His people. The trials and temptations by the devil are allowed by God (consider Job), to reveal if we are true children of God (1 John 3:10).
God has a future plan to remove him from having any more influence on us. He will throw Satan into the Lake of Fire when Christ returns (Rev.20:10). But, for now, he is here to test us. A test can either be failed or pass. Failure means your soul ends up in Hell. If you pass the test, your soul goes to Heaven with God.
Is Hell different in other Christian religions (cults)? MANY cults do NOT believe there is a Hell; Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons are two of them. True Christians have always accepted the existence of Hell. Catholicism in my estimation is also a cult. They believe in a so-called purgatory, which is mentioned NO where in the Bible.
How can we know who is possessed by the devil, or associated with him? What does the Bible say? 1 John 3:7-8 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
[8] He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. (KJV) . . . The way a person lives is the only way we could know. Every judgment must be left to God. Sometimes we think that because someone has fallen deep into sin that they cannot truly be a believer. But, consider David. He was truly a child of God and loved by God (1 Sam.13:14; Ps.78:70-72; 89:20; Acts 13:22). Now, consider David and his sin (2 Sam. 11:2-5,6-25). ALL of us become weak at some point in our lives. But . . . do we continue to remain in that sinful lifestyle? To wake up to your sin and repent and confess it (1 John 1:9) is obedience to the Holy Spirit's conviction. To remain in sin is to practice sin (1John 5:18). BIG difference!
Another way to tell if someone is under Satan's control is by their teaching. 1 John 2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. (KJV) Anyone who does not acknowledge the deity of Christ proves that they are deceived (by the devil). Again, the Jehovah Witnesses and Mormons do NOT accept the teaching of the Trinity . . . one God revealed in three Persons. BEWARE!!!
Satan constantly tempts God's children to sin. He is not concerned about unbelievers. He already has them in his power. But he wants desperately to get those who went to Jesus to return to him. And as the parable of the Sower tells us, many will do it (Mat.13:1-23). 1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: (KJV) Eph. 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. (KJV) BEWARE!!!
I do believe in demon possession in today's world. I also believe that drugs have MUCH to do with it. Addiction to drugs of any kind leaves a person feeling helpless and unable to cope with life. If you are on drugs . . . get OFF them NOW!
There absolutely IS a literal HELL.
You do NOT want to go there!
