48 Hours In Hell

Your welcome.

This isn’t directed to any one persons comment, but more of a general statement as to why I posted the story, and what I believe.

First off, thanks for those who defended my attempt to point out the obvious of stating what one needs to do to be saved and how I did not mean to accuse anyone of not being a Christian, but just wanted to point out the error of our way when we think we are real good when nothing we do is good. It’s all dung to God.

I am not pinging this to fabian, because he doesn’t even believe in the same Christ as we do, by his own admittance.

I do not believe the man in the story died, even if he thinks he did. I believe the_daug said it best, by the idea the guy was probably oxygen deprived and not dead. deep sleep maybe, and I think God used a dream to wake him up, not physically, but spiritually.

God has often times used dreams to speak to us. So no, he was not dead, and I should have added this when i posted the story. For that I apologize.

I also agree that the very fact that hell exists should tell us why we should change our lives. Hell was created for Satan and the angels who fell with him, but God will send any human there if that is their choice, He would rather not and I believe it hurts Him to do so when we reject Him for such a terrible place out of ignorance.

I posted this story, just because it was a very good read.

I cannot remember his name, but there was a very good well known preacher from the 1800’s who said that if every man spent 5 seconds in hell they would never go against God.

I agree, but then we would not be choosing him off His Word, but instead off empirical evidence we see. God wants us to chose Him on faith and without human verifiable proof other than his Word.

The man in this story, was scared straight one could say. As I said, I think it was but a dream. No more than a dream I had the other day of being in a very dangerous situation that could or never take place. I am not Joseph or Daniel so I cannot interpret dreams. If this man’s dream saved his soul than it’s a great testimony.

I am sure I wrote too much, so that someone will take something I said to task. Well, so be it.

God bless each and everyone of you and thanks for your response, and I again apologize if anything I wrote insulted anyone, I did not do so with that result in mind.

what made me think it was a false story,,is I have trouble believing demons would speak in the king james english,,,

Thanks 1vike...

One point - does God actually “send” people to hell?

I think not. I think hell is simply the default for those who refuse to choose to be with God forever. He won’t force anyone into his eternal presence that doesn’t choose to do so willingly.

They are one in intent and spirit.

The Mormons post that lie, too.

Jesus didn't say they were one in intent and spirit.

HE said they were one. Period.

Ever read about the final judgement?

We are in agreement.

He gives us a choice, but we are the ones who choose.

I could give you much more conclusive scriptures that show that Jesus himself never claimed to be God. He is the son and savior, but Satan had to convince the gullible that he is more. Sad. But that is the apostasy that was foretold.

Not everything said is direct translation, nor literal. You guys just do not get it. And I believe in the savior, you guys believe in our savior as God...yet even in the bible it says no man has seen God. Jesus is OBVIOUSLY the son and their is obviously only one God as stated throughout the bible. I am sorry to write this, but you guys are pathetic in your willful ignorance.

Please do not pray for me because He needs real Christians to serve Him...not gullible and brainwashable people that try and convince others that our dear savior is a God! Shame on you.

You want we should discuss original intent by discussing it in the original language?

I know enough about Hebrew, Aramaic, and Koinonia Greek the Bible was originally written in..

We can discuss it in the original language, and I will prove to you that you are wrong, because Jesus is God.

I would love to, because it’s a lot easier explaining it in the original language.

It’s english that allows heretics like your false teacher to confuse ignorant untrained lost souls and lazy Christians who fail to read the Bible on a daily basis to believe that crap.

So go ahead, ask me anything, Sound fair?

“Father, if it is possible, take this cup from me. Either way, your will be done.” “no one comes to the Father but by me.” sorry for the paraphrase...”no man has seen the father.” !
You guys twist and turn to try and make him lot to be God. But clearly his own words throughout scriptures prove out that he only did his Fathers will. You can try and point to other scriptures to uphold your misvotten belief, but Jesus himself proves you very wrong. Period. And all your stuffed knowledge in the world will not change that...only gets in your way.

Then you’re in violation of Exodus 20:2-3 where God says that we are to have no other gods before Him.

If Jesus is not God, then going through Him to get to God is putting another god before Him, breaking the first commandment.

If Jesus is God, then it’s not an issue.

Jesus made it VERY clear that He was God. He said so in so many words and the religious leaders understood that claim very well, too. THAT is why they kept trying to have Him crucified.

Satan loves to impugn the deity of Christ. He doesn’t want us to believe in Immanuel - God with Us.

Actually, you are very confused. That scripture refers to make no other gods before the one and only...which you guys are violating. Going through the love of Jesus to God is not making Jesus God at all...very illogical thinking on your part.
And as I wrote earlier, Jesus made it clear that he does his father’s will. God does not do anyone’s will.
.he is THE will! Daaaa!

for being supposed Christians, I can’t believe how ignorant you guys are about the obvious! Very sad...that you will probably never admit to your gullibility.

Well put. I was thinking the same thing, that this was a fictional story from a creative mind. What that makes me wonder is, “Can a person come to the saving knowledge of Jesus through a lie?”

Those Scriptures gave me a lift. Thanks.

“Can a person come to the saving knowledge of Jesus through a lie?”

I think you've made your point. This rhetorical question is one which demands the answer, "No."

What others mean for evil, God can and has used for good.

It matters not how they come to believe, because if they truly believe then soon their eyes will open to the truth and see the lie of those who are wrong.

I know a gentleman who gave his life to Christ in a cult. Within a couple of Months he began questioning the things he was hearing. He looked into it and soon left the church and joined one that was biblical based.

Many have come to know God without learning the truth, but once they do, God begins speaking to them. God wants His children to follow Him, and will give them the tools and teachers to follow if they are truly born again.

That is because salvation is a heart thing. Not a building or denomination thing. God calls us all, but only His sheep hear His voice.
