I did believe what they were saying was true but because i had no foundation when other views came i was a wash in the sea of confusion. Guys this is why it is important to test the spirit, we do this by having a look at gods word.
So there are many people suggest that they have been to hell and Jesus showed them hell and there were people in hell crying and calling out to Jesus saying help me and im sorry for what i did on earth. Lets see what the word of God says.
____________________________________________
Ps 146:4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.
-Ecc 9:5 5For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.
Notice above. When people die their thoughts perish they know nothing. So even Ghost are demonic manifestations. So through the word of God we have proved that no one in "HELL" has any memory or remembers what they did in the former life.So these are lies.
The next important question is where did these visions of hell come from then?
Let us have a look at JER 23:16
16Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD.
So the people believe what is in there hearts, What they have learnt so who told them in it in the first place?
1 tim 4:1 says
1Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
So that answers that question, But the other question is what is in hell?
This is where things get interesting, Now i came across something that proves that there is no torment in hell but hell is just a keeping place.
Acts 2 25
For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:
26Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:
27Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notice Davide a man after Gods own heart says Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell neither wilt thou suffer thine holy one to see corruption. Is this the image of a just God? sending his own holy one to a place where it is said people burning forever, does that make sense?
31He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.
32This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.
Why would God send Jesus the one who came to save us, So this leaves us with the conclusion that hell is just a grave period, HELL comes from Hades with is the underworld, the grave, from the hebrew Sheol meaning grave. so we can take it form these verses that HELL is infact a mistranslated or misguided way of saying graves.
Knowing this it makes alot of sense that.
4:16- For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
notice those dead in christ shall rise first, Thus meaning that no one is in hell like the churches of men teach.
So is hell forever?
No these will prove hell is not forever.
Revelation 20:13-15
13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
See when ever "Wicked" are mentioned in the bible it normally has to do with Perish or die and death.
Colossians 2:21-22 21
21 Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!"?
22 These are all destined to perish with use, because they are based on human commands and teachings.
Below talks about perishing not eternal torment like the churches teach.
2 Peter 2:12
But these men blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like brute beasts, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like beasts they too will perish.
People believe that because it says unquenchable fire or eternal fire then it means that the fire will never stop burning.
Note.
7Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
So if the fire was eternal then we would expect it to be burning today. It simply means it will not be satisfied until it has devoured all sin.
e verse you have just read shows that the wicked will be destroyed/perish like beasts. Now if that somehow means that the wicked suffer eternal torment, then we can only conclude given that argument that animals will also suffer eternal torment. Doesn't sound right to me, I would suggest that both are destroyed ie: they no longer exist.
1 Corinthians 15:54
When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: "Death has been swallowed up in victory.
Luke 13:3
I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish.
John 10:28
I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand.
Romans 2:12
All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law.
1 Corinthians 1:18
For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
1 Corinthians 15:50
I declare to you, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.
2 Corinthians 4:3
And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing.
2 Thessalonians 2:10
and in every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.
1 Peter 1:23
For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
*John 3:16
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
DESTRUCTION : The Greek word for 'Destruction' according to the Strongs Concordance, can mean the following: Perdition, waste, to die, destroying, utter destruction of vessels, ruin.
To understand the meaning and context of the word destruction; Read the next 2 scriptures.
1 Corinthians 5:5
To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
2 Peter 2:1
But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
The following scriptures tell us that the wicked will also be destroyed.
Romans 9 22
What if God, choosing to show his wrath and make his power known, bore with great patience the objects of his wrath--prepared for destruction?
Matthew 7:13
Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.
Philippians 3:19
Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is on earthly things.
2 Thessalonians 1:8-9
8 He will punish those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.
9 They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord and from the majesty of his power
2 Peter 3:7
By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.
2 Peter 3:11-13
11 Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives
12 as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming. That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat.
13 But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness.
It is possible that the fire God uses to destroy the universe is the Lake of Fire itself.
Isaiah 65:17
Behold, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind.
Revelation 21:1-2
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea.
Note: If Hell is inside the earth? and the earth is destroyed then Hell cannot exist after the destruction of the earth.
Also: The words "passed away" in the Strongs means 'Perish' or 'Go away'. The words 'Everlasting Destruction' actually mean that they will always be destroyed. That is God's punishment to the wicked. They will never have life. It is also God's mercy to the wicked because nobody really wants to exist forever in a sinful state, cut away from the presence of God who is Love and the source of all good.
The last verse summarizes the truth that sinners lose their lives and destroyed:
