I am seeing a lot of postings from a lot of people who are claiming that the REAL CREATOR could not create HELL.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Here are some things to consider.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
First, John describes hell as in the belly of the earth, and later talks about the lake of fire. LAVA is a great way to describe that. Would John have any way to have seen that image?<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Now, think of this – God gave man a conscious. We know it’s wrong to lie, cheat, steal, commit adultery. In fact, civilizations that don’t have a bible will still form rules that seem to mimic the 10 commandments. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Imagine someone precious to you – a young niece or a young daughter. A stranger kidnaps her – rapes and tortures her – slits her throat – cuts her up – and burns her and buries her body. And gets away with it. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Does that to a few more of your family. That person dies of natural causes 40 years later.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
If God saw all that, would a God that would look the other way be a God we would want to worship?<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Why is JUSTICE so much a part of us? Why does that injustice feel so wrong?<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
No, the God we serve would have to punish that crime. The unfairness of this life demands justice. The fact that we know right from wrong demands that things will be made right.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Now, God will punish the rapists that got away with it.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
And the murderers that got away with it.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Shall not the Judge of all the Earth do right?<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
But God is so Holy He cannot stop there.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
He will punish all liars, all thieves, all idolaters, all blasphemers, all adulterers. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The holier our God is, the more that even the smallest offense and smallest sin will be brought to justice.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
There will be no more fitting punishment than HELL.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
And as severe as a punishment that is, there is no greater display of God’s mercy and love than the CROSS to pay that penalty.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
There is no other place where the LOVE of God and the JUSTICE of God meet.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Where the MERCY of God and the WRATH of God converge. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
That is a God worthy of our worship.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
And a GOD we best bow down to and offer our bodies a living sacrifice, holy acceptable unto God which is our reasonable service.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
How shall we escape, if we neglect so GREAT Salvation? The bible asks that rhetorically because to neglect, or reject so GREAT SALVATION leaves God no other option than eternity in HELL.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
And we will have NO EXCUSE. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Today is the day of Salvation. Seek ye the LORD while HE may be found. Look unto JESUS and be YE SAVED, the author and finisher of our faith.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Without faith it is impossible to PLEASE HIM.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
For by GRACE ye are saved, by FAITH, not of works. This is the work of GOD that ye believe on HIM who he has sent. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Believe on the LORD JESUS CHRIST and THOU SHALT BE SAVED. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
When it comes to HELL – DON’T GO THERE.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
AND COME TO JESUS INSTEAD.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
