Hell... the Lake of Fire.
No one talks about this anymore. It's no ones favorite subject... it's certainly not mine.
But it's in the Bible. In fact quite frequently.
The word "Sheol" 65 times in the old testament.
The word "Hell" 15 times in the New testament (NASB, NLT)
The word "Hades" 10 times in the new testament.
The phrase "Lake of fire" 5 times in the new testament.
... a place where there is "gnashing on teeth", 7 times in the new testament.
This is over 100 verses. Not many other subjects can say that. Not money, not marriage,
not even homosexuality.
Here is the plain and simple truth in a nut shell.
Those who trust and obey Jesus will be saved from this place.
Those who don't will end up in hell and eventually the lake of fire.
That's it. Those are the only two destinations in the Bible.
There is no other way.
Allah can't save you. Buddha can't save you. Mother earth can't save you. Mohammed can't save you.
Vishnu can't save you. Zeus can't save you. Odin can't save you. Mary can't save you. The pope can't save
you. Good deeds can't save you. Being a "good person" can't save you... only one thing.
Only one person can save you. The Bible says there is only one way to the Father.
Jesus.
If you don't believe this... off into the fire you go.
Any of your loved ones, family, parents, children, spouses, girl-friends, boy-friends....
if they don't believe and obey Jesus.... they will end up in hell. It's that simple.
(Something to keep in mind if you're considering marrying an un-believer).
Despite all the bumper stickers that say "Love and Tolerance" and "CoExist"... God doesn't
share. He doesn't want you to co-exist with other gods. If you do... off into the fire you go.
So what does the Bible say about this place... or rather places (plural).
... to be continued ...
