Is Hell Real? Do you deserve it? Is it at earth's Center?

Posted by Bible Probe on June 25, 2006 at 10:49:21:

Is Hell real? Is it just for the Hitlers, Mao's, Stalin's, Muslim Jihadists, and other such murderers?

What about lying, thieving, blaspheming adulterers. These surely are also sins.

The Bible says; "he who says he has no sin deceives himself".

Will we be judged not only for our actions, but also for our thoughts?

Doesn't the bible say that NO thief, adulterer, drunkards fornicators, or extortioners, etc., etc., will inherit (enter) the kingdom of God? 1 Corinthians 6:9-11

We have all lied; so we are liars. God said that; "All liars shall have their
part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone" (Revelation 21:8).

We have all lusted. So as far as God is concerned we have committed adultery with him or her
in our heart (Matthew 5:28).

If we have ever used God's name in vain as a cuss word -then we are guilty of blasphemy.

Have you stolen anything? No matter how small?

"He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?" Hebrews 10:28-29

Jews - Pay Attention to your own Scripture here:

Proverbs 30:4 (700 B.C.): "Who hath ascended up into heaven or descended? Who hath gathered the wind in His fists? Who hath bound the waters in a garment? Who hath established all the ends of the Earth? What is His name, and what is His son's name, if thou canst tell?"

Psalm 2:11-12: Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

The Son of the Eternal Father's substitutional death on the cross stands at the heart of all other salvation truths revealed in the Bible. Jesus willingly took our place in suffering the penalty for sin. The demands of the Law against the transgressor were fully satisfied by His voluntary acceptance of our punishment (as a korban) that holy day in Jerusalem, when hanging on the cross He said; "it is finished".

It was the Savior's incarnate entrance into the human family which laid the foundation for the entire redemptive process. According to the Scriptures, He had to be born of a virgin in Bethlehem, live a sinless life, ride into Jerusalem on a foal of a donkey precisely on April 6, 32 A.D., exactly 173,880 days after the command to rebuild Jerusalem by the Babylonian king Artaxerxes.

IS HELL REAL?

"Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations. All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us?" Isaiah 14:9-10

"How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit." Isaiah 14:12-15

"I will set your prisoners free from the waterless pit" (Zechariah 9:11)

"And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell." Matthew 10:28

"And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell." Matthew 5:29

"Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:" Matthew 25:41

"And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison," Isaiah 24:22

"For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;" 2 Peter 2:4

IS HELL AT THE CENTER OF THE EARTH?

0 When I shall bring thee down with them that descend into the pit, with the people of old time, and shall set thee in the low parts of the earth, in places desolate of old, with them that go down to the pit, that thou be not inhabited; and I shall set glory in the land of the living; Ezekial 26:20

Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? Ephesians 4:9

But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth. Psalm 63:9

And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground clave asunder that was under them: And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods. They, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into the pit, and the earth closed upon them: and they perished from among the congregation. Numbers 16: 31-33

A Land Unknown: Hell’s Dominion

Bryan Melvin contracted Cholera by drinking contaminated water in Tucson Arizona. For about 4 hours the atheist Bryan was gone from his earthly body; first to stand in front of Jesus, and then to a nightmarish world, a place of horrors, doom, despair, unending nightmares and ugly ghoulish creatures.

Beyond the Darkness

Angie Fenimore, a wife and mother haunted by abuse in childhood and overwhelmed by despair, was in a desperate state of mind. On January 8, 1991, she committed suicide, hoping to escape her sense of emptiness and suffering. But clinical death didn't draw her to the light seen in so many near-death experiences. Instead, she found herself in a realm of darkness. The hell she experienced was far more horrific and personal than the old fire-and-brimstone metaphors. Her hell was a realm of terrifying visions and profound psychic disconnection. Her experience demonstrates the Scriptural mediator ship of Jesus between us and the Father.

My descent into death
by Howard Storm

An atheist, Howard Storm was lying in a Paris Hospital in 1985 - dying from a perforated stomach. His stomach acids were leaching into his other organs. Suddenly he was standing up in a surreal brightly lit hospital room. He tried to talk with his wife and a fellow patient, but they both ignored him. Off in the distance, outside the room in the hall he heard voices calling: "Howard", "Howard". Come out here the voices said, Let's go, hurry up". We've been waiting for you a long time. He stepped out into the hallway and could see these people off in the distance. He could tell they were male and female, tall and short, old and young adults. He followed them feeling very much alive. Every time he hesitated they demanded that he keep up. These people kept telling him if he would follow them his troubles would end. A fog surrounded him, and it got gradually darker as he shuffled along behind them. These people became increasingly angry and sarcastic with Howard. He now felt he was being forced by an angry mob of unfeeling people to an unknown destination. They next began shouting and hurling insults at Howard. The more miserable Howard became, the more enjoyment they derived from his distress.

Rev Timothy LaFond
tells of dying and going to hell

While I was getting electrocuted the electricity was flowing right through me, I saw my spirit leave my body. Instantly, I was in hell! At that time, I didn't know anything about the bible. I wasn't a religious person or a Christian and didn't know any Christians. I just know that I was cast into outer darkness. I heard the most horrifying, tormenting screams imaginable.

Colin's NearDeath Experience

Then I started to hear rustling and clicking sounds next to me and I turned around and saw Satan standing right next to me. He was wearing a red and black robe and his face looked like a living skeleton. I was terrified and I tried to get away but I couldn't move. He put his face right next to mine and said he had been waiting for me and I had to go with him. I looked around for the loving light but it was gone and all I could see were ugly little creatures laughing at me. They looked like trolls or goblins.

Then I felt myself being grabbed from behind and held tightly and then I was raped by these demons. I started to scream and cry out to God to help me, and all the small devils laughed in small cackling voices
