Hell is one of the most unpopular doctrines in the Bible (only "predestination" may be a doctrine more unpopular than Hell). A definition of Hell is as follows, "An eternal furnace of fire both material & spiritual where the inhabitants of Hell are tortured in mind & body by God, by every rational being in the universe, & the damned themselves (their memories & lusts torture them as well as their own active consciences). The damned in Hell would give, if they could, the world & all that is in it to have the number of their sins reduced by one." The Bible contains 1800 verses directly attributed to Jesus & of that number 13% relate to the judgment of God & damnation in Hell. Half of all the parables that Jesus spoke in the Bible relate to judgment & damnation (in Hell). Hell is a PLACE of ETERNAL TORMENT & is described as: Everlasting Fire (Matt. 25:41, Matt. 13:49-50), Eternal Punishment (Matt. 25:46, Rev. 20:10), Outer Darkness (Matt. 8:12, Matt. 22:13, Jude 13), Everlasting Destruction (2 Thess. 1:9, 2 Thess. 2:10-12), Lake of Fire (Rev. 19:20, Rev. 20:14-15); Hell is PREPARED for: the Devil & his angels (Matt. 25:41, 2 Peter 2:4), Wicked Men & Women (Psalm 9:17, Rom. 2:5, Jude 7, Proverbs 6:12-7:27), Nations that Forget God (Psalm 9:17), Disobedient, Apostates (Rom. 2:8-9, Hebrews 6:4-8, 2 Peter 2:21-22), The Beast & the False Prophet (Rev. 19:20, Rev. 20:10), Rejectors of the Gospel of Christ (Matthew 10:15, 2 Thess 1:8-9, Galatians 1:6-9), Worshipers of the Beast (Rev. 14:11), Fake, self-deceived "Christians" (Matt 7:15-23, James 2:14-26), Adulterers, fornicators, drunks, etc. (1 Corinthians 5:9-10, Gal 5:19-21, Ephesians 5:3-5), Those hated by God (Psalm 11:5-7. |
