Eternal Hell Fire



ETERNAL HELL FIRE

Are you lacking in abundant faith?  Has God not given you enough faith?  Guess what?  You may become one of the billions of people consigned to never-ending fiery torture forever burning alive in the pit of hell.  Doesn’t that sound exciting?   The best news is:  there will be a group of saints laughing their glorified backsides off (Ha Ha Ha Ha) as you twist and turn in excruciating pain forever.

Were you born in South America in BC times and never heard of Jesus Christ?  Too bad – into the fire you go.  Oh, you are an Inuit Eskimo and the Gospel was never preached to you?  Well, you will no longer worry about frostbite.  So you paid no attention to Noah’s message and you drowned in the flood?  I have some good news for you:  there is no water in the lake of fire (although you might prefer some).

Did you know that babies and children will be sent to the unending fire of hell?

“Accountability” is not a term explicitly found in Scripture. Rather it is an implicit and abstract concept. This is obvious because of the many references to the various judgments and because of passages like Romans 14:12. This passage uses the English term, “give an account.” But I know of no passage that specifically speaks of an age of accountability even in an abstract way. However, as with other doctrines like the trinity that are not specifically spelled out, many theologians and Bible students have come to the conclusion that there is an age of accountability, though it undoubtedly varies with individuals.

Romans 14:12 NET  Therefore, each of us will give an account of himself to God.

Millions of infants are being aborted.  God (Who is Unfailing Holy Love) wants most babies preserved alive so that as adults they will burn in agony "forever and ever."

Burn Baby Burn

If you are qualified to be raised in the first resurrection, it will be your position to judge the world which will give you the ability to consign most of the world's myriad of human populations to hell fire for all eternity.

Jesus is quoted as saying, “Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets”.  However, the Savior has already planned to consign the majority of created human beings to be burned alive in hell forever and ever, which of course, He will NEVER be treated. 

Join us as we sing:
“Baby, you can light my Fire”

Meditate on the beauty of God's holiness. Rejoice that some of you are destined to be conformed to His holy likeness.  However, despite your Heavenly Father's holiness, He has "foreordained" prior to creation that most of His own offspring will be UNHOLY and will forever be burned alive in a fiery hell.

Meditate and give thanks that our Lord's commands are not burdensome. (1 John.5:3) Therefore He bids you not to worry about tomorrow, 

Matthew 6:34 NET  So then, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Today has enough trouble of its own.

and He assures you that His yoke is easy and His burden is light and that He will give you rest for your soul.

Matthew 11:28-30 NET  Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.  (29)  Take my yoke on you and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  (30)  For my yoke is easy to bear, and my load is not hard to carry."

Goodness, Gracious, Great Balls of Fire

At the same time meditate on the truth (according to John Calvin) that many will THINK they have come to Christ and have found rest for their souls. However, time will eventually prove that their turning to Christ was not authentic, and they entered into a false "rest." Therefore He will say to such ones, "Depart from Me! ('Forever!', according to Calvinism.) I never knew you."

But We Are Certainly Getting Stoked Up
Or Smoked Up

In case you haven’t figured it out – the above article is a sick parody. 

They may never have considered it, but the people believing in a literal lake of fire that unbelievers and miscreants will be consigned to would possibly agree with the above comments.

There is no lake of fire created for the eternal burning of unbelievers.  If you believe in an actual literal lake of fire or an eternal fiery hell then you must believe that the majority of the human population, from the beginning of creation, will be consigned to that fiery hell forever and ever.  However, if you believe in universal reconciliation then you should believe the lake of fire, or the fire of God, is a purifying agent that will rid the spirit of all offending worldly flesh until everyone receives eternal glorified existence although it may take a long period of time in some cases, although elapsed time will not be an issue at the end of the Millennium.

Why & How did Jesus Die?



WHY AND HOW DID JESUS DIE?

An article contained on the Tentmaker website written by A.P Adams entitled, Why Did Christ Die? http://www.tentmaker.org/articles/why-did-jesus-die.html brings up an interesting point which may be obvious to several Bible students after it is openly discussed.  Mr. Adams entitled his post as “Why Did Jesus Die” but the important concept he actually covers is “how did Jesus die?”

The underlying concept in the above article is not His physical death at the Crucifixion but His birth as a living human being or His incarnation.  Mr. Adams goes through many proofs, which are interesting but appear to be convoluted, in my opinion.  He basically answers the question in one sentence but not in a straight forward manner.

The real answer always goes back to the supposedly first created man named Adam.  I say “supposedly” because many people, even Christian believers, consider the first man as mythological symbolism written in the Bible to make a certain point and tell a particular story.  Whether one thinks there was an actual Adam and Eve or not, the necessity of an actual Biblical Adam, of some type, is absolutely essential to explain the theological comprehension of the life, death, and resurrection for the purpose of atonement as offered by Jesus Christ.

Romans 5:14 KJV  Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.

The first man and woman called Adam and Eve, were considered to have been created in a spiritual (glorified) body similar to angelic entities.  The apostle Paul points out that Eve was deceived and supposedly unwittingly sinned but Adam purposely ate the forbidden fruit due to the actions of Eve.  Because of Adam’s knowing sin, both Adam and Eve lost their spiritual bodies and suddenly discovered they were naked. 

In addition to losing their spiritual existence, they also began the process of aging and dying.  Abel died early due to the assault by Cain.  The individuals listed in Biblical chronology lived for many years although they increasingly became weaker and their bodies aged and increased in feebleness.

Genesis 2:17 NET  but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will surely die."

It has been said that Adam’s sin resulted in the eventual death and sinful nature of all human beings.  One commentator has said that we die because we sin and others have said we sin and therefore we die even though babies die without any obvious sin on their part.  However, we all sin and we all die due to the sin of Adam, regardless of which (sin or death) came first.

Then we come to the death of Jesus.  Mr. Adams claims His death on the cross did not qualify as the atonement death.  Although the death of Jesus was brutal and bloodthirsty, we all die and some in a hellish manner. Instead it is proclaimed the  atoning death of Jesus, and His true death, was due to His incarnation as a human being and a descendant of Adam.  Jesus was given birth by a human woman named Mary and His genealogy as listed in the book of Luke goes all the way back to Adam, who is listed as the son of God, the same as Jesus.

Luke 3:38 NET  the son of Enosh, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God.

As a descendant of Adam, Jesus apparently inherited the sentence of death and sin from the first couple just as all human beings have inherited.  Although Jesus did not sin because He is God in the flesh that apparently did not exempt Him from the process of death, either slowly or quickly.  He was crucified too young for old age to set in and He had no diseases, heart problems, or strokes that are mentioned, however He did age from a baby to a young boy to a man from age 30 to 33 plus.  His death was through murder, like Abel, and it can be said the curse of death from the above mentioned causes did not happen although He became older.

The particular method of Jesus’ physical death, by crucifixion on a wooden structure called a cross sets forth the suffering, shame, and reproach that invariably befalls those who are actively working citizens of the Kingdom of God. 

Matthew 16:24 NET  Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If anyone wants to become my follower, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.

Taking up one’s cross does not mean getting crucified but following the teachings of Jesus and being an active working citizen of the Kingdom of God.  If one is a true Kingdom citizen then a certain amount of suffering, shame, and reproach will be a part of one’s life, some places in the world more than others.  The literal cross is a symbol of Jesus’ way of life through death to eternal life.

Jesus refers to the significance of the cross when he says, "And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me".  Verse 33 is a parenthetical comment by John.

John 12:32-33 NET  And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself."  (33)  (Now he said this to indicate clearly what kind of death he was going to die.)

According to Mr. Adams, “there is no real connection between the drawing of all men to Christ and his literal crucifixion”; in other words the particular form of his physical death is not the cause of the drawing of all men unto him, as would seem to be indicated by the letter of these words.  However, the actual cause of all men being drawn to Christ is His incarnation death through the sin of Adam.

We were not reconciled to God by the literal physical death of Jesus Christ.  That theology is a complete misunderstanding of the scripture and leads to the penal substitution theory of atonement.  (See Atonement for further information)

Jesus did not die from crucifixion as a payment to God for the sins of the world.  Jesus was incarnated as a descendant of Adam with a sentence of death that He would nullify our death sentence with a promise of resurrection and eternal life.

Jesus conquered the death sentence for all people by His incarnation as a human being and inheriting the curse of Adam’s death.  His crucifixion was not a substitutionary death for all people.  It was His acquired death sentence of Adam’s curse and His subsequent resurrection from the dead that produced atonement for humanity.  Everyone will die by some method but everyone will be resurrected at some point in God’s time which is actually no time.

1 Corinthians 15:22 KJV  For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

1 Corinthians 15:45 KJV  And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.

If you believe in an actual literal lake of fire or an eternal fiery hell then you must believe that the majority of the human population, from the beginning of creation, will be consigned to that fiery hell forever and ever.  However, if you believe in universal reconciliation then you should believe the lake of fire, or the fire of God, is a purifying agent that will rid the spirit of all offending worldly flesh until everyone receives eternal glorified existence although it may take a long period of time in some cases, although time will not be an issue at the end of the Millennium.

Sex Trafficking & Pedophilia



SEX TRAFFICKING AND PEDOPHILIA

It may be possible the shooting of Steve Scalise, and others, by James Hodgkinson may have not been a mere random shooting of Republicans.  It appears that Scalise and a few other politician types were writing a bill to combat sex traffickers and pedophilias.

High ranking politicians, government officials, and many others are deeply involved in sex slaves both young male and female.  There have already been several low level busts involving these types of degenerates in the USA as well as Europe.  It could be the rich and powerful deep state maggots enabled Hodgkinson to at least shoot to kill Scalise and some other politicians so it would appear the scenario was a hatred of Republicans and not just the individual bill author.

Like several other events of this type, the gunman was killed so that he could not be interrogated after the fact.

Stephen Jones 6-17-17
Steve Scalise, Republican congressman from Louisiana, was shot and critically wounded on June 13, 2017 by James Hodgkinson of Illinois. The shooter claimed to be angry at President Trump and Republicans in general. Is it just a coincidence that the congressman was working on legislation to outlaw pedophilia? This legislation has alarmed many powerful people in Washington, who are actively involved in pedophilia. (It is estimated that about a third of our government officials are pedophiles.)

The war is heating up. The Babylonians are losing their grip on power, and they do not like it. They have tried to make it appear like the right-wing Republicans are dangerous, but it now becoming more and more obvious that the left-wing Democrats are far more likely to start a shooting war to maintain corruption in government.

From the Hagmann Report by Liz Crokin

Two Republican members of Congress targeted in the Virginia shooting during an early-morning practice for a charity baseball game have recently pushed for legislation to combat sex trafficking.

On June 13, the suspected shooter, James Hodgkinson, shot Rep. Steve Scalise and three others as they practiced baseball in Alexandria, Virginia. Rep. Brad Wenstrup, a veteran combat surgeon, rushed to Scalise’s side to administer emergency medical attention after the bullet struck Scalise in the hip. Both Scalise and Wenstrup have been very vocal about their efforts to end human trafficking through legislation.

On May 25, Scalise posted a video on his YouTube channel and on his Twitter feed discussing recently passed bills in the House to target child predators and to provide protection for human trafficking victims. “The sad truth is that human trafficking is a real problem plaguing each and every community in the United States,” Scalise said. “This week the House took strong action to stand up for the victims of human trafficking, passing tough bills to provide them protection and to target child predators.”

Scalise went on to encourage his colleagues to work together to get the legislation signed into law. “Let’s work together to get these bills signed into law,” Scalise said.

On June 6, Wenstrup published an op-ed on the topic titled Human Trafficking: As Easy as Ordering a Pizza. “It is true – with the rise of the Internet, human trafficking has become one of the fastest growing businesses of organized crime in the world,” Wenstrup wrote. Wenstrup cited that human trafficking generates billions annually in illegal profits around the globe and as many as 17,500 people may be trafficked into the United States every year while approximately100,000 American citizens may be victims of trafficking within the United Sates, according to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the Congressional Research Service.

Mystery, Babylon Understanding
Revelation 18:12 begins a list of items bought and sold by the merchants of Mystery, Babylon. 

Revelation 18:13 KJV  And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves (literally bodies) and souls (literally breath or dead people) of men.

The last section of verse 13 has bewildered some commentators because of the use of the word slaves.  For those who read certain internet news sites it is known that Arabs take children as sex slaves and sell them as well.  However, not too long ago it became known that sex trafficking was extremely prominent among wealthy politicians and business people within the USA and Europe.  This disease may be festering in other parts of the world but if so, the news has not reached the Western areas.
