A Christian's Response to Carlton Pearson's "There Is No Hell"

Bishop Carlton Pearson was recently on Megyn Kelly Today's "Leap of Faith" segment, where he shared his view that people are not going to hell. The subject of an upcoming Netflix film "Come Sunday," Bishop Pearson is viewed as a heretic of the faith in many religious circles.
Today on Real Life, Don Black, Teri Black, and Jay Gilbert address Pearson's claims and share a Christian perspective on his infamous beliefs.

[@SometimeAgo65]

I was reading up on this doctrine of Inclusion because I know someone who switched over to this belief...and I'm not sure if I have it all right but I know they believe there is no hell because Jesus came and did away with that. It's kind of like they're saying, You're saved because Jesus came so you can sin, live your life however you want whether homosexual or whatever and you'll still go to heaven. If that were true, Why did Jesus Christ say to the woman at the well "Go and sin NO MORE" ??? And there are other stories throughout the scripture. I have no idea why someone would switch to this doctrine. It is confusing and worries me for these people

[@denisehedrick6722]

Yes that is the doctrine of demons to tell people there is no hell and y'all can live and be happy God is love and know is ones going to hell that is a lie from the pit of Hell because Lucifer and 1/3 of the Angels was kicked out of heaven and they are roaming around in the earth in people today as Ministers of Satan

[@JudahTVHD]

Hell is the grave. A return to dust and non-existence. When the Bible talks about 'fire and brimstone' it's a description of the lake of fire, not hell. After the resurrection and the 1,000 yrs is complete, those who continue to follow satan will go to the lake of fire. You cannot send a man to prison before he is found guilty in a court of law. Therefore it would be unrighteous of God to send people to hell before the day of judgement. The day of judgement is after christ rules for 1,000yrs. Christians need to be re-taught the Bible. Without a re-teaching, they will forever remain in the deception of satan. Look up hebrew words, then use precepts for understanding. Here is a good example to start! Do you think Jacob the fore-father of Jesus went to torments and chains in hell? Genesis 37:35: "And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted; and he said, For I will go down into hell unto my son mourning. Thus his father wept for him."

[@raphaelgreen8913]

In the fall of 1973, I met Carlton during my freshman year at ORU. During the five years I was there as a student, I had the privilege of serving together in ministry with him in a choir and smaller ensemble that he founded and formed. Both groups were commissioned to minister on campus, in the greater Tulsa area and around the nation -- in many different settings, but especially in particularly in urban areas. After graduating in 1978, I worked briefly in Tulsa at various jobs but eventually returned to my hometown to look for work and engage in ministry. We stayed in contact periodically but not very much. I was blessed to serve in itinerant ministry, meet and marry the woman who is now my wife and mother of our four children, plant an church and continue in ministry -- much with his support and encouragement. During those years, I cheerfully watched as God elevated him to higher levels of visibility and supported his ministry over the next decades. Many of us in that mid-level boomer generation joined with others throughout the world, thrilled over the voice and platform God gave him to preach the gospel of salvation and the kingdom inter-generationally. After several years, you can only imagine the shock many of us felt as he turned and left the word of God and us to preach his truth. When Carlton presented this message of inclusion, it was difficult to believe he was espousing such things. After several personal conversations and debates both live and online over the years, I'm convinced he's been deceived through a line of reasoning that affects all of us at some point in our lives; namely, the premise that the human heart is a sufficient discerner of truth. During our debates, I discovered that his "theology", philosophy and ideology, have been shaped by beliefs which deny the deity of Christ and the errancy of Scripture. With that paradigmatic framework and foundation, very little those of us who have been transformed by the life, message and power of Christ espouse, has substantial or significant weight to him any longer. He falsely assumes that he has been where Christians are, that he knows us better than we know ourselves, and that he has evolved beyond the state where we fearly and ignorantly live. Unfortunately, he sees those who are genuinely transformed followers of Christ as monolithically living and/or functioning either in incriminating denial of the logical implications and blatant conclusions of our belief or that we are ignorant of what our beliefs rationally lead to. Of course, those of us who live in relationship with Christ, know differently. But, he's beyond convincing by any of us at this point. So, in my judgment, it is best that we continue to pray, love, and trust that God will reveal the culprits involved. Also we must trust God to untangle the devastating web in which he's entrapped. Honestly, I've learned a lot through the intercession on his behalf and the debates we've had. One lesson among many is that truth exists on multiple levels (God, human and demonic / spiritual and natural). Another is that the standard that we use to determine something or someone to be true must be from God or we can reach a defiant posture of autonomy vs God rejecting His views based on our own perspective of jurisprudence. Finally, (at least for this post), this is where many in the world who are not espousers of the truth revealed in Christ or Scriptue live daily. Thus, it is vital that we rely less on our ability to reason, less on our carefully crafted arguments and exclusively on the power of the Holy Spirit as we respectfully speak & argue biblical truth in opposition to this and other errors. Given the fact that most view private interpretation as a personal entitlement and inalienable right, both this trust in God and His salient responses are indispensible.

[@EzekielsCall]

I don't know why I didn't know what happened sooner. I didn't pay much attention to him after I heard him preaching the prosperity stuff. I mean, yes I believe God wants us to prosper, but the emphasis on prosperity is a problem. Anyway... I somehow saw a video tonight about him coming to this conclusion, and now preaching in a unitarian church or something. When I studied the topic of "hell" for myself, I found a very different perspective on it than I had ever heard in the church. I still think that the church greatly misunderstands what it is. I messaged Carlton myself tonight with my perspective, which I believe is the biblical perspective. . I have no idea whether he will even read it, but I had to try, There are two words rendered as Hell. One is Sheol, the place where the wicked dead go upon physical death, where the stripes, ie punishment, are according to their crime The second thing rendered as "Hell" is Gehenna, the lake of fire, and the place where the Second Death takes place as they are thrown into that lake of fire. Jesus never said there was eternal suffering, except on the part of the devil and his angels. He said that we could "lose our soul" and and said, don't fear those who can kill the body, fear the One who can destroy BOTH body and soul in hell. I see a phrase "Eternal Judgment" which literally means an eternal judicial decision or punishment, ie one that will never be reversed. While I see that the smoke of their punishment rises forever, the fire never goes out, and the worm never dies, I do not see anywhere in scripture that claims that the person thrown into that lake of fire never dies. The punishment is literally called the second death. can't find a teaching of eternal suffering for humans anywhere in the scriptures. I shared this with Carlton just a little bit ago via Facebook Messenger. I will pray for him, and hope that he was not just a false teacher to begin with, biding his time until he sprung the "what if hell doesn't exist" thing on the church, never imagining that they would turn him out over it. The fact that his theology is, as you say, based on a denial of the divinity of Jesus Christ, and a denial of the inerrancy of scripture makes me wonder whether this was planned all along. I am seeing a pattern of people starting churches, and literally trying to subtly turn people away from the truth in ways that a lot of people don't seem to pick up on. I was investigating one such person when I stumbled across the info re Carlton's losing his ministry over all of this. Of course I don't know his heart, butI wonder if maybe he was not completely honest with other Christians from the beginning. Unless he initially did believe the bible was the Word of God, and then somehow got talked out of his faith. I pray if he really wants truth, that God will show him the error of his beliefs, and help him to see the deceptions and any deceiving spirits for what they really are.

[@princedarius7224]

Yes, Jesus did talk about the reality of hell - in fact, He talked about it more than any other person in the Bible. He warned, “Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell” (Matthew 10:28). Did He say this simply to scare us? The reality of hell should frighten us, because not one word in the Bible about hell would ever make you want to go there - not if you take it seriously. The Bible speaks of hell as a place of absolute loneliness and despair and hopelessness. It calls it a place of “darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth” (Matthew 22:13). But Jesus didn’t talk about hell just to scare us. He talked about it instead because He wanted us to know that God has provided a way of escape! Listen: God doesn’t want you to be separated from Him forever. He loves you, and He wants you to spend eternity with Him in heaven. Unlike hell, heaven is a place of joy and peace and freedom from all the fears and pains of this world. Who wouldn’t want to go there? Don’t gamble with your soul, and don’t turn your back on Jesus. Instead, by faith turn to Christ and commit your life to Him. He alone gives us hope - hope for today, and hope for eternity

NopFor OpposingForce we talk about Hell because that’s what we are trying to avoid. God wants us all to repent and believe in Jesus but the punishment for those who don’t is eternal separation from Him in Hell. If Hell isn’t a real place and if our sins aren’t needing to be paid for why do we need a Savior? We wouldn’t! But in fact Hell is real, and God sent His Son to pay for our sins and all we need to do is trust Him and believe in His Son. And that will produce fruit as we are to lead others to Him.

@NopFor OpposingForce fear is the stornegst weapon used against us to reach the true peace and true love in our harths. that is why is so hard to drop eternal torture from the mind, but its easy is we know that God created anything for one true purpose only - to live forever not to be torturing anything forever. Sin is destroying and after sin itself is destroyed, the destroying is finished. What purpose the Eternal Love and Mercy will have from the creation of everlasting torture?

Even the dogs came and licked his sores. 22 “The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried. 23 In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. 24 So he called to him, ‘Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.’ 25 “But Abraham replied, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony. 26 And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been set in place, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.’ 27 “He answered, ‘Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my family, 28 for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.’ 29 “Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.’ 30 “‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.’ 31 “He said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.’”

Being lost is hell. This concern seems more of semantics than a change. Anyone not knowing Christ or believing in God is lost. And that is not a peaceful place, not a place of fulfillment or of understanding. Carlton Pearson's core message remains the same, that there is a sovereign God and the world is saved by the sacrifice of the Christ Jesus. Those not accepting or acknowledging this fundamental are lost and not living in the fulfillment of God's Grace and Mercy. Knowing God and that we are saved through Christ is what energizes our spirits and brings peace to our plight. Those that need a hell to fear for salvation are missing the essence of God which is LOVE. IMHO

The same book the slave holders used to justify slavery is the same book abolitionist used to condemn it . And according to the bible they are both right and simultaneously both wrong.. Carlton Pearson is doing what every other christian does rationalize their beliefs then find that part of the bible they like to suit it. God is a loving and caring God therefore how can he allow someone who has been sinning for 30 years of their life to burn for all eternity. Doesn't sound loving to me therefore hell doesn't exist.. Thus is his thinking. And any christian that chooses to respond i can show that they do the same exact thing.

[@sophietherobot6343]

Pentacostal is Calvinistic based. Not only do they interpret and worship an unmerciful God, they believe this all knowing God created most life to see it be punished forever. The teaching of no resurrection required of spiritual consciousness, as ETERNAL consciousness is given by design. If you don't repent and believe in Christianity, you will pay eternally (no choice of non conscious existence). Blackmail and coercion into a Christian heaven. The bribe and the threat, the carrot and the stick. Yahweh, like any other religious definition of a God, is logically impossible. Evil nature did not arise from nothing. If there were no Yahweh, there would be no evil nature. A super intelligence cannot be BOTH simply all powerful and all loving. Is your God a monotheistic Creator of all nature, existence and reality or not? A God that deliberately created opposition to Itself to satisfy it's own vanity. There is no required cosmic conflict. If free required sin, you'd lose it in Christian heaven. Evil nature is a negative end on a scale on how not to do things for mutual beneficial survival. Without the real role of conflict, we are not driven to learn, experience and adapt. Time to stop swinging from, and get out of the trees.

Revelation 14:10 “they, too, will drink the wine of God’s fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. They will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb.” And Hell is not death - its eternal burning in flames in torment: Rev 21:8 "But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars-they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.” 2 Thes 1:9 "They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might" Matthew 9:43 "If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go into hell, where the fire never goes out."Jude 1:7 In a similar way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire.

Consider that it's ALL a steaming pile and when you die... you die. That's all we have evidence for. Your consciousness emerges from brain synapses, it does not exist independent of a brain. Manipulate brain chemistry and you can change a persons personality, character, mood, memory and other cognitive attributes. When the brain is under anesthetic your consciousness is temporarily frozen to the point where there is no awareness, no sense even of time passing. Six hours passes in a blink of an eye. Therefore when your brain dies so does your conscious awareness.

Question: "Is hell real? Is hell eternal?" Answer: It is interesting that a much higher percentage of people believe in the existence of heaven than believe in the existence of hell. According to the Bible, though, hell is just as real as heaven. The Bible clearly and explicitly teaches that hell is a real place to which the wicked/unbelieving are sent after death. We have all sinned against God (Romans 3:23). The just punishment for that sin is death (Romans 6:23). Since all of our sin is ultimately against God (Psalm 51:4), and since God is an infinite and eternal Being, the punishment for sin, death, must also be infinite and eternal. Hell is this infinite and eternal death which we have earned because of our sin. The punishment of the wicked dead in hell is described throughout Scripture as “eternal fire” (Matthew 25:41), “unquenchable fire” (Matthew 3:12), “shame and everlasting contempt” (Daniel 12:2), a place where “the fire is not quenched” (Mark 9:44-49), a place of “torment” and “fire” (Luke 16:23-24), “everlasting destruction” (2 Thessalonians 1:9), a place where “the smoke of torment rises forever and ever” (Revelation 14:10-11), and a “lake of burning sulfur” where the wicked are “tormented day and night forever and ever” (Revelation 20:10). The punishment of the wicked in hell is as never ending as the bliss of the righteous in heaven. Jesus Himself indicates that punishment in hell is just as everlasting as life in heaven (Matthew 25:46). The wicked are forever subject to the fury and the wrath of God. Those in hell will acknowledge the perfect justice of God (Psalm 76:10). Those who are in hell will know that their punishment is just and that they alone are to blame (Deuteronomy 32:3-5). Yes, hell is real. Yes, hell is a place of torment and punishment that lasts forever and ever, with no end. Praise God that, through Jesus, we can escape this eternal fate (John 3:16, 18, 36).

Hell is the eternal grave. It was mistranslated from Greek and Hebrew. Only the righteous live forever.

[@HiVizJoe]

It could be looked at that since heaven is eternal then so also hell would be too but it could be that the illustration of fire is meant to show the annihilation of the departed reprobates. Ezekiel 18 says the soul that sins will die so thus how can the soul be eternal? Not to mention the Ecclesiastes 9:5 verse that says the living know that they shall die but the dead know nothing. Or how about psalm 115 that says the dead don’t praise HaShem nor any that descend into silence. It’s the resurrection of the bodies of the righteous dead that we wait for when messiah comes. Until then the righteous dead sleep in their graves. The wicked dead will be annihilated. Luke 16 about the rich man and Lazarus is but a parable and though the fire is never quenched and the worm never dies it don’t mean the conscious torment is eternal

How 'bout this explanation: Although Sheol is but a temporary abode, to serve till the time of the final judgment, the fate of its inhabitants is already foreshadowed by their condition while there. In Section 5 - chap. 22 (Enoch) , which is devoted to its description, we learn that it has four apartments: one for those righteous who died at the hands of sinners, the second for the other saints, the third for the sinners who were not punished on earth, the fourth for those whose retribution was at least partially given them before death.¹ The last class, however, shall remain here, and not be subjected to a farther condemnation. Only one that had seen with his own eyes the numerous persecutions of the righteous could think of making for them a special apartment in Sheol with the prototype of martyrs, Abel, where they have the special privilege of continuing their cry for vengeance. The inhabitants of three apartments shall rise again, the unrighteous for punishment, the righteous to take part in the glories of the Messianic kingdom.

[@kwakles]

The Biblical Evidence for Hell. Would a loving Jesus really teach about hell? Yes, and so does every New Testament author. Let’s consider what they teach. Hell in Matthew In the Sermon on the Mount, often known for its emphasis on love and the kingdom, Jesus teaches the reality and nature of hell (5:20-30; 7:13-27). In Matthew 5:20-30, Jesus contrasts hell with the kingdom of heaven and warns that hell is a real danger to unrepentant sinners. The fire of hell, the justice of hell, and the extreme suffering in hell are particularly stressed. The unrepentant are warned to use extreme measures to avoid being cast into it by God. As Jesus concludes the Sermon on the Mount, He contrasts the kingdom of heaven with the horrors of hell (7:13- 27). Jesus cautions that hell is a place of destruction, depicted as the end of a broad road. Hell awaits everyone who does not enter the kingdom of heaven- even those who profess to know Christ but continue in sin. Jesus is Judge and King who personally excludes the wicked from His presence and the kingdom of heaven (“Depart from me,” 7:23). Indeed, those who fail to follow Jesus are like a house built on the sand that ultimately comes crashing down. Matthew also recounts Jesus’ surprising warning that Jews devoid of faith are in danger of hell, which is portrayed as outside, darkness, and a place of intense suffering (8:10-12). Jesus addresses hell when He commissions His disciples not to fear humans but God alone, “who can destroy both soul and body in hell” (10:28). In Jesus’ parables of the weeds (13:36-43) and the net (vv. 47-50), hell is seen as exclusion/ separation from the kingdom of God, described in terms of fire and is a place of suffering. Jesus later describes hell as a place of “eternal fire” (18:8) and even warns the scribes and Pharisees of hell, characterizing it as inescapable for the unrepentant (23:33). In the Olivet Discourse, Jesus speaks of future punishment in the parables of the slaves (24:45-51), bridesmaids (25:1- 13), talents (25:14-30), and the section on the sheep and goats (25:31-46). Several truths about hell emerge. Hell is punishment for disobedience to the master. Hell is graphically expressed as a location where people are cut into pieces and placed with the hypocrites (24:51) and as a place of suffering (24:51; 25:30). Jesus also likens hell to being outside, or a place of exclusion/separation (25:10-12, 30), as the outer darkness (v. 30), as personal banishment from His presence and the kingdom (“Depart from me,” v. 41), and as just condemnation/punishment (vv. 41, 46). Hell is then described as eternal. It is a place of “eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels” (v. 41) and of “eternal punishment” (v. 46). Hell in Mark Mark 9:42-48 is similar to Matthew 18:6-9 and records Jesus’ teaching that hell is a punishment for sin that is worse than death and earthly suffering. Hell is exclusion from the kingdom of God, a result of God’s active judgment on sin, and a place of eternal suffering. Hell in Luke In Luke 13:1-5, Jesus speaks of hell as punishment for the unrepentant, and those in hell are portrayed as perishing. In Luke 16:19-31, Jesus calls for generosity to the poor by proclaiming that justice will prevail through the coming judgment on the wicked oppressors. The punishment is marked by suffering, torment, fire, agony, exclusion from heaven, and finality. Hell in Paul It would take too much space to survey all that Paul writes, so we will highlight Romans and 2 Thessalonians. In his letter to the Roman church, Paul stresses that Jews and Gentiles alike are under sin, under God’s wrath, and under God’s judgment. Only those who have faith in Christ will escape. In this context, Paul relates important truths about hell. First, future punishment is connected to God’s wrath. The wicked are presently under His wrath (1:18-32), are objects of wrath (9:22), continually store up wrath for the day of wrath (2:5-8; 3:5), and can be saved from wrath only by faith in Christ (5:9-21). Second, future punishment is God’s judgment. The wicked are deservedly condemned under the judgment of God, which is impartial, true, righteous, and certain (2:1-12; 3:7-8). This condemnation is the result of sin and is just punishment for sin (6:23). Third, future punishment will consist of trouble and distress. This suffering shows no favoritism between Jews and Gentiles (2:8-11). Fourth, future punishment consists of “death” and “destruction.” Sinners deserve death (1:32), the wages of sin is death (6:16-23), as sinners we bear fruit for death (7:5), those who live according to the flesh should expect death (8:13), and sinners are vessels of wrath “prepared for destruction” (9:22). Fifth, both sin and future punishment are separation from Christ (“accursed and cut off from Christ”; see 9:3). As he encourages believers suffering persecution in 2 Thessalonians, Paul stresses that God’s justice will prevail (1:5-10). In just a few verses, Paul emphasizes several important truths about hell: hell is the result of God’s retributive justice on sinners; hell is punishment for those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel; hell is eternal destruction; and hell is exclusion from Jesus’ presence and majesty. Hell in Hebrews Two passages in Hebrews speak clearly about future judgment. Hebrews 6:1-3 refers to the future punishment of the wicked as “eternal judgment” (6:2), which is an “elementary doctrine” of the faith. Hebrews 10:27-30 depicts this judgment as fearful and dreadful and as a raging fire that will consume the enemies of God. It also teaches that hell comes from God as punishment, judgment, and retribution. Hell in James The letter of James depicts future punishment primarily in terms of destruction, death, justice, and suffering. In particular, the oppressors wither away and are destroyed (1:11); sin produces death as its offspring (1:15; see 5:20); and God is the Lawgiver and Judge, able to save and destroy (4:12). James teaches that oppressors of God’s people deserve to be punished severely. This just suffering is certain and severe, graphically portrayed as miseries, flesh being consumed by fire, and the day of slaughter. Hell in Peter and Jude Peter’s second letter is filled with references to hell, and Jude closely parallels 2 Peter 2. Peter and Jude both depict hell as destruction (2 Peter 2:1, 3, 12; Jude 5, 10, 11), as condemnation hanging over the wicked (2 Peter 2:3; Jude 4), and as a gloomy dungeon where rebellious angels are held for judgment (2 Peter 2:4; Jude 6 is similar). Peter illustrates future punishment with the account of Sodom and Gomorrah burning to ashes (2 Peter 2:6) and warns that God holds the unrighteous for the Day of Judgment while continuing their punishment (2:9). Peter also writes that hell is a place of retribution (v. 13) and blackest darkness (v. 17; Jude 13). Jude adds that hell is a punishment of eternal fire (Jude 7, 15, 23). Hell in Revelation Revelation teaches that hell is a place where God’s fury and wrath are felt at full force (14:10). Hell is a place of intense suffering, filled with “fire and sulfur” (14:10; see the lake of fire in 20:10, 14-15; 21:8), a place where “the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever” (14:11). The suffering is continual: “They have no rest, day or night” (14:11), and “they will be tormented day and night forever and ever” (20:10). In Revelation 20:10-15, the Apostle John emphasizes that hell is just punishment for the wicked. God casts the devil, the Beast, and the False Prophet into hell. They do not rule or have any power in hell but are “thrown” there (20:10). Hell will also contain everyone whose name is not found in the book of life (v. 15). Such will be separated from God in hell (21:6-8) and banished from heaven (22:15). Three Pictures of Hell Clearly, the future punishment of the wicked is a significant theme in Scripture. Jesus teaches it, and so does every New Testament author. While this brief survey has demonstrated an array of truths about hell, three key depictions of hell recur in the New Testament: 1. Punishment. The chief picture of hell is a place of punishment for sin. The punishment is deserved, consists of suffering, and is eternal. 2. Destruction. This destruction is likened to death, second death, loss, and ruin (see Robert Peterson’s article in this issue of Tabletalk for more on this). 3. Banishment. Whereas punishment stresses the active side of hell, banishment shows the horror of hell by highlighting what unbelievers miss-the very reason for their existence, namely, to glorify and love God. Hell-this is what we deserve. This is how sinful we are. This is what Christ endured for our sakes. And this should spur us to share the true gospel. Amen

Legacy/// When will you be publishing that book?

[@EzekielsCall]

ok, well first , the bible does not teach "eternal torment", except for the devil and his fallen angels. The bible teaches an eternal JUDGMENT, and that word Judgment means a Judicial DECISION or punishment. The bible teaches a Second DEATH for unbelievers, not eternal consciousness in a lake of fire. it teaches that the FIRE never goes out, and that the worm never dies, it does NOT teach that people will SUFFER for eternity. as a matter of fact, the judgment of God, Jesus taught, is in ACCORDANCE with their works. The Stripes fit the crime - some will receive less stripes, others more. I find it really sad that this man never studied hell closely before simply deciding that the bible teaches Eternal suffering. The judgment/decision of the Second Death in the Lake of Fire is eternal. It will never be reversed. Jesus said, don't fear them who can kill the body.... fear Him who can destroy BOTH body and soul in Gehenna. I don't know about what others think, but I got my understanding from the bible, instead of relying on preachers. The wages of sin is DEATH, but the gift of God is eternal LIFE. The wages of sin is not called eternal suffering, but an eternal punishment. Ie, a judicial decision/punishment that will never be reversed. People also need to realize the difference between sheol and gehenna. Both are translated as "hell" but they do not both mean the same things. There are people suffering in sheol right now. That is the place where the wicked dead go when they die. It is not the place where the second death or the destruction of body and soul take place. Gehenna is a literal place on the planet. The bible says we will literally go there and LOOK UPON the dead bodies of those who are destroyed by God in the battle of Armageddon (Har Megiddo). But in addition to that, the bible ALSO tells of God raising all people from the dead , death and hell give up their dead , and when God separates the sheep from the goats, ie the believers and the unbelievers, the unbelievers will be thrown into a lake of fire. That isn't the same as the suffering they endure in sheol. Sheol is temporary . Sheol is the place where the spirits of the unbelieving dead go. The idea of an eternal torment is a pagan concept of the "underworld". So in Sheol, based on the story Jesus told of it, is a place where the wicked dead go, and where their suffering is appropriate to their crime. ie. the rich man who failed to help Lazarus , a suffering man who was set at his gate, whose sores the dogs would lick. The rich man passed him by day after day, and never offered any help or comfort whatsoever. His punishment upon death, was to be in sheol , suffering HEAT AND THIRST. AT the final judgment, however, the bible says that death and hell (sheol) give up all that is in them, and after God separates the believers and unbelievers, the wicked are cast into the lake of fire, Gehenna, and this is the SECOND DEATH. I believe this means it is the final death. . There is a "hell".. but it isn't like the Greek final destroyed, both body and soul, in the lake of fire. Satan and his fallen angels however, do receive what appears to be an eternal torment of some kind, possibly being locked up for eternity in a place they can't get out of. it may be that the fallen angels , being immortal, cannot be destroyed in the same way humans can. In Revelation 14, it says that the smoke of the fire goes up forever, AND it says that those who are being punished by God have no rest day or night, ie those who take the mark. It does not say that the suffering lasts forever. "And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, the same shall drink of the wine of the WRATH OF GOD which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be PUNISHED WITH FIRE AND BRIMSTONE in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment (agony, vexation) ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name." This does not actually say it's hell. What it says, is that God's WRATH is coming upon those who take the mark. These people will be punished, ie God's WRATH will fall upon them, which He says is fire and brimstone. This will take place in the presence of God and His angels. This is not necessarily a description of Gehenna. However, even if it is, all it says is that they will have vexation/agony because of God's wrath . That does not necessarily imply eternal punishment. The statement, ":they HAVE no rest day or night who worship the beast and his image..." is a switch from future to present time in the text. He is saying that those who are worshiping the beast and take the mark HAVE no rest day or night. There is no day or night in Gehenna. Gehenna is the lake of fire, which they will be thrown in at the final judgment. The outpouring of God's wrath is not that final judgment. The final judgment does not take place until after the 1000 years is passed of Jesus ruling on the earth. Just because the smoke of someone's agony will go up forever, and the fire will burn forever, does not mean that they are still alive. It means that the smoke and the fire of their punishment is left there, burning and smoking. As a matter of fact there is a scripture in the old Testament that says we will go out and LOOK UPON the dead bodies of those who are burning in Gehenna. I'm pretty sure it says that the smoke goes up forever, and the worm doesn't die. Gehenna is a real place. This is reference to the wrath of God being poured out, but not a reference to the final judgment. Though the final judgment is called Gehenna, it may be symbolic of a real punishment, likening it to Gehenna, It is a a lake of fire that it was created for the devil and his angels, but where humans will be thrown after they have been resurrected, and when they are thrown in, this is called the second death. The wages of sin is death. Not eternal suffering. It is an eternal death, it will never be reversed. Though it does seem that the devil and his angels will suffer eternally from the sound of it,... possibly because they are eternal, they will be in anguish over being trapped in a lake of fire for eternity.

The good people of Cornerstone Television need to more carefully research (thoroughly) the word, hell. They very clearly do NOT understand that it's an atrocious translation error! It has been a heavily and unnecessarily mistranslated word to mean something that was never even in the Bible in the first place, but it's been falsely taught in the churches for years and years simply because people like to adhere to the traditions of men and not the understanding of Jesus Christ. The correct word that was replaced with the word, hell was sheol. It merely means, the grave, the very thing that Jesus was the atonement for! In fact, it was his atonement for THE WHOLE WORLD! He has already forgiven EVERYONE! Before anyone comes after me calling me a heretic too, do yourself a favor and quit condemning people with your uneducated passages from Scripture and just look up various passages that mention the inclusion of all people back to God, the salvation of all people, how Jesus actually did save the WHOLE WORLD! You will find these passages and they will be the same ones I would have provided you with in response to your objections. I'm not going to spend a bunch of time arguing on who has the most proof on what one needs to do for salvation. The answer by the way, is NOTHING, but do your research and you will see that if you follow Scripture through the lens of Jesus, the answers will start to unfold and be unveiled for the first time in your life!

[@melindagoldsby1192]

Brothers and Sisters I love you and JESUS LOVES YOU MORE. We walk by faith not by sight. You don't have to see something to believe its there. We breathe in oxygen, but we don't see that. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. If Hell does not exist neither would there be a Heaven. So the definition of Hell is a place or state of punishment of the wicked after death; the abode of evil and condemned spirits; These are other names of Hell Gehenna, Tartarus, Sheol, or Hades; A place of torment and misery. Hell is real, and so is Heaven. Brothers and Sisters do not be deceived. We MUST pray for Carlton Pearson that Jesus grants him mercy because this Brother has been handed over to Satan. He is leading several souls to Hell, a place he claims doesn't exist, but it does. In the beginning God created the Heaven and Earth (Genesis 1:1). God is Spirit and those that worship Him must worship in Spirit and in Truth (Saint John 4:24). God is from everlasting to everlasting; He is the Beginning and the End (Revelation 1:8). He is the WORD and He created everything by speaking it into existence. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made (Saint John1:1-3). But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name; Who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the WORD became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth (Saint John 1:12-14). Brothers and Sisters the natural man does not understand the things of the Spirit. We Must have faith because without faith it is impossible to please Him(Jesus) for he who comes to God must believe that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him (Hebrews 11:6). All things that are written comes from God Who is Spirit, so all Scripture is Spiritual. Just because you don't see something doesn't mean that it does not exist. Brothers and Sisters we MUST believe God over man, because God is the ONLY ONE who could save our souls. Trust in the Lord(Spirit) with all your heart and lean not on to your own(human) understanding, but in all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths, and do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and depart from evil(Proverbs 3:5-7). Do not be deceived the Bible says My people perish for lack of knowledge. We MUST seek God in everything, not man because we are in the last seconds before Jesus returns for His Church(Rapture of the believers of Jesus Christ). The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction. So we Must believe God over man. Let God be true but every man a liar (Romans 3:4). Carlton Pearson is deceiving many and is doing the Devil's bidding. Many will believe these lies and be led to Hell. Some think that he is intelligent, but for those who know the real Truth he is far from it. There is a way that seems right to a man, but his end is death(Proverbs 14:12). Brothers and Sisters all Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness(2 Timothy 3:16). Through the Holy Spirit was the gospel given to holy men of God (1 Peter 1:12). Knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation. For prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit (2 Peter 1:20-21). Brothers and Sisters with the help of the Holy Spirit I will explain this to you all. The Holy Bible is God's written WORD; all comes from Him. Everything that was said and done is not written down in the Bible (Saint John 21:25). God created Heaven and Earth and during this time He also created the Holy Angels. After He created the Heaven and earth. On the 6th day He created Adam the first man (Genesis 1:26-28, 31). Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." So God created man in His image; in the image of God He created him; male and female, He created them. Then God blessed them, and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply.................... Then God saw everything that He made and indeed it was very good. So the evening and the morning were the 6th day. Brothers and Sisters a day to the Lord is like a 1000 years (2 Peter 3;8), so after 6000 years after God created Heaven and Earth, He created man. When God created Adam He gave Him dominion over all the animals, and that he could eat freely from any tree, except the tree of knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die (Genesis 2:16-17). However because God is a God of balance; He saw that all the animals had help mates, but Adam(first man) did not. So God crated Eve from Adam and He took out one of his ribs (Genesis 2:21-22). Brothers and Sisters God gave Adam a command, but he also had "free will." Adam was in the Garden of Eden for about a 1000 years before God created Eve, and she too had free will. God did not make us(humanity) as robots we all have a choice, but our choices have consequences. Eve was cunned by Satan in the Garden and she ate the fruit that God had told Adam not to eat and Adam told Eve. When Eve ate the forbidden fruit she took it to Adam and he ate it. Once the forbidden fruit was eaten sin(death) entered into the world. The animals began to die, the plants, and humanity. Everything that God had created He said it was good because it was perfect without sin. So God came down from Heaven, to remove Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden because they had sinned against God; if they had eaten from the tree of life humanity would live forever with sin(Genesis 3:22). In Genesis 3:1, 3:13-15; I will paraphrase it. The serpent is Satan, before God created Adam; He had already created the Holy Angels. Satan's name in Heaven was Lucifer which means the "morning star". He was next to the Throne of God, he was an "archangel", but he rebelled and became jealous of God. He was cast out of Heaven along with a 3rd of the fallen angels(demons). So God created a kingdom for them HELL, the job of Satan is steal, kill, and to destroy humanity, God's creation. Satan can not touch God so he temps humanity through sin, and the wages of sin is death. Satan is a deceiver the word cunning means; having or showing skill in achieving one's ends by deceit. The Devil is the serpent in the Garden of Eden and God told the devil; " Because you deceived Eve and they both ate the forbidden fruit, you are cursed more than all cattle, and more than every beast of the field; on your belly you should go, and you shall eat dust all the days of your life. God is telling Satan that he will be in Hell. And I will put enmiy between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel. God is speaking of His Son(Jesus) crucifixion. Brothers and Sisters because Adam and Eve sinned; We as humanity as a whole inherited sin from them. Since sin separates us from God we needed a Savior and God wrapped Himself in flesh and shed His Blood for all of us so we could all have life and more abundantly. He was born to die so we don't have to. God is Holy, love, pure, righteous, peace, joy, forgiveness, faithfulness, gentleness, kindness, and most importantly without sin. Since God is Spirit He placed His Holy Spirit in the womb of Blessed Virgin Mary. The Blood that JESUS shed for us all is same Blood that He washes us with when we sincerely repent and turn our hearts to God. For God so loved the world that He gave His ONLY begotten Son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish(HELL), but have everlasting life(HEAVEN) (Saint John 3:16). We must be wise as serpents and gentle as a dove. Do not be deceived flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God. God is Spirit and His Spirit is in Jesus. When you see Jesus you will see God. We MUST PRAY. Turn to Jesus NOW; He is calling us NOW to REPENTANCE. For we all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). If we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse from all unrighteousness. If we say we have not sinned we make HIM(JESUS) a liar and the Truth is not in us(1 John 1:8-10). Brothers and Sisters a contrite heart He will in no way despise (Psalm51:17). God is slow to anger but quick to forgive (Psalm 103:8). Brothers and Sisters confession is made with the mouth, but repentance is made with the heart. We MUST forsake sin and turn away from it. The wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23). This includes people, places, and things that causes us to sin. No one and nothing is worth going to Hell over. REPENT FOR THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS AT HAND. Heaven and earth will pass away, but His WORD will stand forever. The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but patient towards us not wishing for any to perish(go to Hell), but for all to come to repentance. Jesus is God. Its because of Him that we move, we breathe, and we have our being(ACTS 17:28). If it wasn't God's MERCY we would all be consumed. MERCY triumphs judgment, but without mercy there is judgment (James2:13). Without Jesus we could do nothing and all things are sinful.

God love his people but me as a parent I would have to chastise my children when they disobey. With God everyone that reject Jesus will be done for. Hell: a place for those who reject the loving God It can be hard for the person who loves God to comprehend that there are people who hate God as much as we love Him. That there are people who hate Him so much that if they saw Him finally, they would not embrace Him and turn from their rebellion, but they would shake their fist all the more and damn themselves for eternity. Just as through the Spirit, the believer is finally sanctified after death, something happens to the unbeliever at death that makes him unable to ever repent. He has chosen to hate God and he will hate God for all eternity. Jesus reminded us that some will not believe even if He rose from the dead. The unbeliever cannot inhabit Heaven, because he embodies everything that can never enter Heaven; and to be in the presence of God is not Heaven for him in any case, but the most exquisite torment. He has lost the ability to experience God as anything but terrifying. For such a person, Hell is God giving him what he asked for all along-a place where His presence is not manifested as it is in this life. But this also means that there are none of the blessings and providence that even the unbeliever experiences in this life. The loving God became our Savior The person who goes to Hell must reject Christ, who died so that anyone who repents can be saved. So why would a loving God send someone to Hell? Because that person has chosen in such a way that God has no other choice. The existence and reality of eternal judgment for the person who does not repent is sobering, and no one really wants to contemplate it too deeply. But the person who goes to Hell must reject Christ, who died so that anyone who repents can be saved. So God is not to be blamed when an unrepentant, rebellious creature chooses a destructive path that leads to Hell. In fact, we all deserve hell due to our sin nature that separates us from God, but thank God for Jesus. The good news is that anyone reading this article is still alive, and so if you haven’t repented of your sins and trusted in Jesus yet for salvation, there is still time to avoid the terrible fate that awaits those who rebel against the Creator, or to tell your unbelieving friends or family members about the Gospel. If you consider yourself a good person that doesn’t need salvation then just consider the following questions: Have you ever told a lie? Have you ever stolen something, committed adultery, blasphemed etc? If you are truly honest with yourself you will find that you have failed to reach God’s standard for holiness and entrance into eternity with Him. And if you haven’t accepted Jesus as your Savior then you will have to represent yourself in God’s ‘courtroom’ when you die and answer for your sins. But for those who believe, “we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous” (1 John 2:1).

Denise Hedrick You sure have a lot of opinions but nothing to back you up. Let me ask you some questions below. Question as a parent would you send your child to burn forever and ever in a fire and then call that LOVE? Myself I would call it very SICK. Please answer the Questions below. What does the K.J.B mean below? is it saying He is both the Saviour of believer and non believer? 1 Timothy chap 4 v 9-11 For therefore we both labor and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of ALL men, specially of those that believe. Question do you know of anyone who ask Adam to pass his sin down to them? Or anyone who had a choice to say! NO thank you I think i will pass? 1 John 2 2And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. (PROPITIATION) means The act of appeasing the wrath and conciliating the favor of an offended person; the act of making propitious. PROPITIOUS means The act of appeasing the wrath and conciliating the favor of an offended person; Whos going to Judge you? ACTS 17 31Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; Now was Jesus a hypocrite - a person who professes beliefs and opinions that he does not hold? Below he says be you kind to the unthankful and to the EVIL. QUESTION HOW CAN YOU BE KIND TO THE UNTHANKFUL AND EVIL AND JUDGE THEM TO GO TO HELL? Also says be ye merciful as your father is merciful. Have you ever took the time to look up the word merciful? Luke 6/ 27But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, 28Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you. 29And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloke forbid not to take thy coat also. 30Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again. 31And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise. 32For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them. 33And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same. 34And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again. 35But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. 36Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. MERCIFUL= Full of mercy; having or exercising mercy; disposed to pity and spare offenders; unwilling to punish. Opposite of merciless. The Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious.
