Hell and heaven are real places, and it's up to each of us to decide which door we will enter, or which road we go down.

We all have a free will to chose, no one will make it for us. When it's all said and done we will only have ourselves to blame if we end up in hell.

Christ died for each and everyone of us to have the chance at eternal salvation. I advise each and everyone of you to Choose wisely.

This is a great read I stumbled across. It was written in 1888, but its relevance has probably never been more relevant than in today's world. 48 Hours in hell as described by a man who was pronounced dead, and then came back to life as he was being carried into his coffin. What follows is what he remembers seeing while he was thought to be dead.

The road to heaven is narrow and lonely.

The road to hell, is wide and well traveled.

He chose unwisely.

Without Christ, hell is your destination.

No feel good speaker or quiet contemplative therapy will ever get you there.

Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Light. No one comes to the Father except through Him.

The worst thing I ever did against another person was steal a baseball cap.

Fabian, you need to understand that this guy you keep referring to people does NOT believe in Christ. This is what he said.
One of the biggest curses in Christendom is the false idea that Jesus is God.

The Foundation you push does not mention the Holy Spirit in any of its publications This guy is a cultist. Nothing more than a pied piper leading people to hell.

Have you ever had bad thoughts of others? Have you ever thought of being with women in a carnal way that you were not married to?

If you thought it, you are guilty of doing it.

Besides, I doubt very much you never did anything besides steal a baseball cap.

Have you cut someone off in traffic?

Have you gone over the speed limit while driving?

Have you ever got drunk and yelled at someone or pushed them?

have you ever gotten in a fight?

Have you flipped someone the bird?

Have you watched an R or maybe and X rated movie?

Have you looked at pornographic pictures?

Have you ever looked upon a naked woman/man with lust?

Trust me, I bet I could write a book about the sin in your life that will send you straight to hell without the blood of Jesus to wash you clean.

No, I do not need to know you or ever see you sin, I know for a fact you have, and so do you.

If you dare say you do not sin, then you are sinning by not being honest.

For all have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God.

Sin is the failure to live the perfect spotless life.

Anything that falls short of the perfection God demands from us, is sin.

Only one man has lived a sinless perfect life, Jesus Christ, and that is why He gave His life so that you, me, and every person who has ever lived can be forgiven for our imperfect sinful life.

Thanks for this post.

Hell is a real place, and our Savior warned us about it!

Thank God He shed his blood for us as propiation for our sins so we could avoid Hell and spend eternity with Him instead.

I didn’t come close to claiming I never sin. I only stated the worst act I ever did to another person. You can believe it or not - no skin off my apple.

Your over wrought reaction makes me wonder who you killed.

Let’s see, worst thing I did to another person...10 bucks tops. Worst someone did to me, stole 7,000 dollars.

I both forgave and sought forgiveness.

Sorry to be so controversial, I guess.

What makes hell hellish is not just what it is, but why it is.

Our biggest problem is not even vis a vis other people. It’s vis a vis God.

"48 Hours In Hell" seems to be the product of a very fertile tract-writer's imagination. The dead give-away of the falseness is that the motive of earning one's way to heaven is woven into the finish of the tale as a reward for "living a Christian life." This approach is a sure indicator of the true path leading to a real Hell, not just 48 hours of it.

Even allowing the possibility that the protagonist was actually someone lying under a pile of close-packed coal for that amount of time without utterly expiring (most probably also a product of the "narrators" creativity), the "tale" neither mentions a Biblical Gospel nor a Redeemer to whom the victim might trust the rest of his/her life.

Neither does the story match the doctrine and timeline as to the relationship between a literal Sheol/Hades/Hell (of which there was a sign, written in the teller's own language??); a final judgment scene, dominated by a great throne and Judge; and a fiery reservoir into which death, "Hell", fallen angels, and unjustified humans are consigned forever, sometime in the future after the Final Judgment..

The plight of carefully considering the death of the Man Jesus on the Cross of Calvary, which punishment each born human actually does deserve, ought to be enough to reach out for the promise of missing out on such a perpetuity of torment as a condition of relief.

The heralding of assured delivery from death and Hell, for ever, solely on persistently, permanently, and irretrievably committing trust in the Loving God Who humanly substituted Himself for one's deserved punishment, on the basis of which a human crying out for mercy may be justly declared "Not Guilty" (on the basis of exchanging roles), ought to be enough of a holy prompting for one to accept the release from the penalty, the power, and eventually even the presence of Sin and sinfulness of any otherwise lost descendant of Adam.

Sorry, I'm not buying this story of "48 Hours In Hell" as a truthful Gospel-declaring, conviction-rendering, conscience-searing, soul-saving, sentence-pardoning, foundation-laying pathway to a permanent residence in The God's Eternal Presence and Fellowship.

Though the hint of Hades in the offing ought to cause one to attempt to discern the meaning of the Real Saviour's Merits, Methods, and Message, eh?
