I don't belive in hell, least not the way most christian religions do. Hell for me can only be attained one way: Having a testimony of the existance of the Holy Ghost, then out righty denying it. And having actually felt the presence of the Holy Ghost, I know that to denounce it would be impossible, least for me.
To explain what the Holy Ghost is, he is our conscience. He helps us decide what is right or wrong. To put it plainly, I ask you this: Have you ever had to make a choice, and when you made it, you felt warm to the very core of your being and you knew beyond any shadow of a doubt that that choice was right?
That is the Holy Ghost.
To discribe hell for me would be this: If God is the bright center of the Universe, then hell is the farthest thing from it, where one would be in eternal darkness for all time till you simply cease to be.
Everyone will go to Heaven, even the lowest form of scum that has ever walked the face of the earth, you want to know why? Be cause Jesus Christ took upon himself all the sins of the world, all of them for everybody that has ever lived or will ever live, then he suffered for them in the Garden of Gethsemane, suffered so much that even Jesus, the son of God, asked why God had forsaken him, and then he died for the sins of the world on the Cross at Calvery.
Now with that said, I bet you that John 3:16 will have a whole new meaning for you.
Quote:
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. – John 3:16 (KJV) |
Now, lets anilyze that passage for a moment.
Ok, God loves the world. He gave his only begotten to die for the sins of man kind. "GAVE", meaning not ordered. Jesus had to make the choice to do what he did, enter free will (Again). If you belive in him, you will not perish. Now, this death that is mentioned is not a physical death, but a spiritual death, and by spiritual death, hell, eternal damnation ect ect. "But have everlasting life." Meaning Your spirit will exist for eternity in heaven.
That is what I belive.
