The Doctrine of Hell - Tim Conway

[@georgebradley4583]

This might quite possibly be the most sobering message I've ever heard. Watching this I kept thinking about Jesus' hands and feet being nailed to the cross. Jesus is the treasure of heaven! He stepped down from his eternal glory to pay for our sins. I pray anybody reading this will repent and accept Jesus!

[@Wise_As_A_Serpent]

Brother,I've spent hundreds of hours listening and studying and reading ever since Christ became my gravity and oxygen. But all thanks to the most high for allowing me to find this man because he softens parts of my heart I didn't know was there. Its sobering teachings

[@PAPAof5]

Gods kindness is meant to draw us to Him that we remain with Him.

Powerful sobering truth.

[@nathanoppy]

I understand the gravity of my sins. Therefore I fear God and tremble at the thought of standing before Him some day. If it wasn’t for Jesus I would most deft burn. And if God sends me to hell it’s what I deserve and I will not complain

Why are people tortured on this planet? Why are wicked people allowed to roam free? Why are there people who do such horrible things to each other. Would the answer be to just let go of holding on to the need to survive? Why is living forever even desirable? Fearing death is black and white. Duality is heaven and hell. Isn't it? Who are we and why were we created? God is all powerful isn't it? Why were we created? There is no true reason to exist. We always say God save us Why are we not doing the work to prove that we are worthy of being saved. Religion is different Relationship with God is truth Christ is Lord And let's do the best that we can to be the way we have been taught to be. God is the Love that breathes life into us. Why are we here though? Existence is suffering? Isn't it? Jesus Christ is Lord No one can deny such a thing.

[@jovemministro]

One of the greater doctrine of the Bible, but neglected by the most of teachers in our churches.

[@jamessmith6915]

No one has an answer for this: where are the believers? Doesn’t it say in the New Testament: “these signs will accompany those who believe: in the name of Jesus Christ they will cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues, they will take up serpents, and if they drink anything deadly, it will buy no means hurt them. They will lay hands on the sick and they will recover. The Lord will work through them, confirming the Word through the accompanying signs.” Where is this happening? I see a lot of teachers and preachers, but I see absolutely no DEMONSTRATION of God’s power. Like Jesus and His apostles did quite frequently in their missions. I have heard a number of “justifications“ for why we don’t have miracles today. Things ranging from “God uses doctors to heal people now” to “that was under a different dispensation because of persecution but we don’t need miracles now.” BUT THATS NOT WHAT THE WORD SAYS! So my question is is: where are the believers? Where are the accompanying signs? Where is the demonstration of God’s power?

the fact that God talked about hell is crazy to me isaiah ( the light to the gentiles ) - isaiah 50-11

Where is God 1st,2nd world wars

[@arrkbats]

In His throne in heaven, storing up wrath (now they are receiving it) for all who sin(ed), and you better get right with him lest you be condemned as well. Look to Jesus for the forgiveness of your sins.

[@elijahtheprophet4544]

Amen! Thank you, thank you for breaking this down. If more people took GODS word seriously with fear and trembling they would already KNOW the answers to their questions and turn away from sinful behavior. 💜💯☝️🙏​@arrkbats

[@MTnomad186]

By your logic then where was God in any of the wars that preceded WW1 and WW2? God gave us free will instead of making us into mindless robots, He gave us ability to choose right from wrong and this is how people chose to exercise that liberty, to murder others for the sake of greed, so please, it is about time that people take some personal responsibility for the depravity happening in the world rather than blame God for everything. You want God to babysit you and others so that WW1 and WW2 would not happen, but at the same time you reject His commandments and His teachings, so which one is it, make up your mind, you either want God to be present and active in your life or you don't, you can't expect Him to act on your whim while rejecting Him the rest of the time and wanting nothing to do with Him.

[@virginiahobby3726]

God gave us free will Don't blame God for man's sins.

Up until about 500 A.D., Christian beliefs about hell were reasonable and beautiful. The prevailing view then was that hell (the lake of fire, actually) not only punished but also purified the unrighteous. It was temporary -- each person's finite punishment would fit their finite crimes (sins). (The Greek speaking early church fathers knew that _aionios,_ the Greek word that is mistranslated as "eternal" in most English Bibles, didn't mean "eternal.") Once a person's punishment and purification were complete, he or she would join other saved people on the beautiful new earth described in Revelation 21-22. Everyone would eventually make it there and be blessed, with heavenly rewards varying by person, based on the lives they led. For supporting verses & quotes, see my two replies. Christ came to seek and to save the lost (everybody) (Luke 19:10), and he never fails.

[@tomm6167]

Some verses which promise, imply or strongly suggest eventual universal salvation: "As in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive ... God [will] be all in all." (1 Corinthians 15:22,28) "As one trespass [Adam's] led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness [Jesus'] leads to justification and life for all men." (Romans 5:18) "God has committed all to disobedience that he might have mercy on all ... From him and through him and to him are all things." (Romans 11:32,36) "...every knee shall bow to me [God], and every tongue shall confess to God." (Romans 14:11) " ... at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." (Philippians 2:10-11) "And I [Jesus], when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself." (John 12:32) "And every creature which is in heaven and on earth and under the earth I heard saying, 'Blessing and honor and glory and power be to Him who sits upon the throne and to the Lamb forever.'" (Revelation 5:13) "O you who hear prayer, to you shall all flesh come. When iniquities prevail against me, you atone for our transgressions." (Psalm 65:2-3) "All you have made will praise you, O Lord." (Psalm 145:10a) "I will not contend forever, nor will I always be angry; for 'the spirit would grow faint before me, and the breath of life that I made'." (Isaiah 57:16) "The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end. ... " (Lamentations 3:22) Also see John 17:2, Romans 5:19-20, 8:19-21, Ephesians 1:10, Philippians 3:21, Colossians 1:20, 1 Timothy 2:3-6, 4:10, 1 Peter 4:6, 1 John 2:2, 4:14, Revelation 15:4, 21:5,24-25, 22:2,17c, Psalm 22:27,29, Isaiah 25:6-8, 45:22-25, Lamentations 3:31, Ezekiel 16:53,55, Malachi 3:2-3, _Hope Beyond Hell_ by Gerry Beauchemin

Most leading early church fathers believed in eventual universal salvation: "Christ saves all men. Some he converts by penalties, others who follow Him of their own will ... that every knee may be bent to Him, of those in heaven, on earth, and under the earth" [Isa. 45:22-23, Rom. 14:11, Phil. 2:10-11, Rev. 5:13] -- *Clement of Alexandria,* _Commentary on 1 John_ "The Word will subdue to himself all rational natures, and will change them into his own perfection." [John 12:32, 1 Cor. 15:22-28, Phil. 3:21] -- *Origen,* _Contra Celsum_ 8:72 "What else does 'until the times of universal restoration' signify to us, if not the aeon to come, in which all beings must receive their perfect restoration?" [Acts 3:21] -- *Eusebius,* leading historian of the early church, _Contra Marcellum __2:4:11_ "A few drops of blood renew the whole world, and become for all men that which rennet is for milk, uniting and drawing us into one." [Col. 1:15-20] -- *Gregory Nazianzus,* _Oration 42_ "Christ captured over again the souls captured by the devil, for that He promised in saying, 'I, if I be lifted up, will draw all men unto Me.'" [John 12:32, 1 Peter 3:19-20, 4:6, Psalm 68:18, Eph. 4:8-10, and maybe Matt. 12:29] -- *Athanasius,* _Expositions on the Psalms, 68.18_ "The peace [coming] from the Lord is coextensive with all time [eternity]. For all things shall be subject to him, and all things shall acknowledge his empire; and when God shall be all in all, those who now excite discords by revolts, having been quite pacified, [all things] shall praise God in peaceful concord." [Psalm 145:10a, 1 Cor. 15:28, Rev. 5:13] -- *Basil,* _Commentary on Isaiah 9:6_ "So the Son of Man came to save that which was lost, i.e., all, for as in Adam all die, so, too, in Christ shall all be made alive." [Luke 19:10, 1 Cor. 15:22] -- *Ambrose,* _Exposition on the Gospel of Luke 15.3_ "For the wicked there are punishments not perpetual, ... but they are to be tormented for a certain brief period, according to the amount of malice in their works. They shall therefore suffer punishment for a short space, but immortal blessedness, having no end, awaits them; ... the penalties to be inflicted for their many and grave crimes are very far surpassed by the magnitude of the mercy to be showed them. The resurrection, therefore, is regarded as a blessing, not only to the good, but also to the evil." [Isa. 57:16], *Diodore,* _De Oecon_ "Some among the wise and learned … have alluded to this in an enigmatic way, by adducing that God is not only just, but also merciful, and that it becomes the One who judges with justice to have sinners suffer in a measure that is proportional to their sins and then make them worthy of blessedness." -- *Theodore,* _Liber Scholiorum, 2:63_ "'All the kings of the earth shall adore him.' Some, indeed, in the present life willingly, but all the rest after the Resurrection; for not yet do we see all things subject to him, but then every knee shall bow to him." [The "kings of the earth" are rebellious unbelievers in Rev. 6:15, 17:2,18, 18:3,9, 19:19,21 ... but check out what happens in Rev. 21:24-27!] -- *Theodoret,* _On Psalm 72:11_ "Death shall come as a visitor to the impious; it will not be perpetual; it will not annihilate them; but will prolong its visit, till the impiety which is in them shall be consumed." [Matt. 5:26] -- *Jerome,* _On Micah 5:8_ "After the complete abolition of sin, praise shall be sung to God; which praise contain (implies) our being incapable of turning to sin ... when every created being shall be harmonized into one choir ... and when, like a cymbal, the reasonable creation, and that which is now severed by sin ... shall pour forth a pleasing strain, due to mutual harmony. Then comes the praise of every spirit for ever abounding with increase unto eternity." [Psalm 150] -- *Gregory of Nyssa,* _On Psalms, Tract 1, ch. 9_ Other church fathers who believed in eventual universal salvation include *Asterius, Bardaisan, Cyril of Alexandria, Didymus the Blind, Dionysius, Ephrem the Syrian, Gennadius, Hilary, John Cassian, John Chrysostom, Marcellus, Maximus the Confessor, Maximus of Turin, Methodius, Paulinus, Proclus, Titus of Basra & Victorinus.* Sources: Thomas Allin, _Christ Triumphant,_ Annotated by Robin Parry edition, chapters 4-5, 1905 & Ilaria Ramelli, _A Larger Hope?, Volume 1: Universal Salvation from Christian Beginnings to Julian of Norwich,_ 2019

The Catholic Church developed those doctrines

[@MTnomad186]

...you do realize that Catholic church came only about 300 years after the New Testament was written? The only things that Catholic church has invented was the notion of indulgences and purgatory, as well as the false idea of praying to Mary to intercede for people's sins...read the Bible for yourself and pray to God to grant you understanding of what the Bible says, God resists the proud so if there is any pride in you when approaching the scripture, that is the reason why you are unable to understand it.

Ancestors were superstitious, could not comprend

[@MTnomad186]

Pretty sure ancestors were far wiser than the modern humans, afterall those are the same ancestors that built Egyptian pyramids and many other complex structures that we still cannot figure out how they did it so let's not be so arrogant as to imagine ancestors as a bunch of some ape-like creatures running around and give them some respect for possessing greater intellectual capacity than what we currently have, we are the generation that came up with twerking and snapchat, both useless inventions that appeal to people's narcissism and contribute absolutely nothing valuable to the future generations, while the ancestors were busy building structures that withstood the test of time and we still cannot figure out how they did it.
