Hell is a Christian Hoax 12
"For OUR GOD IS A CONSUMING FIRE"
(Heb. 12:29).
God is "the furnace of fire," "the unquenchable fire," "the eonian/age-abiding fire," "the flaming fire," "the Gehenna ( hell?) fire," "the baptizing fire," "the lamps of fire," and "the lake of fire," and as fire purifies and refines, so likewise, God "Who makes His angels spirits; His ministers a flaming fire" (Psalm 104:4).
And why does God make His ministers flames of fire? Because we too are to Judge the world, and judging involves refining and purifying:
"Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world, and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?" (I Cor. 6:2)
SINNERS AND SAINTS WILL BOTH BE "IMMERSED" IN FIRE
God's chosen Few are instructed to be a sacrifice - a living sacrifice:
"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service" (Rom. 12:1)
Does the Bible teach that "fire" is for the wicked and unrepentant sinners only? Get ready for another Scriptural shock. God puts all His Believers through fire and salt:
"For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt" (Mark 9:49).
"I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but He that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: He shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit, and with fire" (Matt. 3:11).
"Whose fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly purge His floor, and gather His wheat into the garner; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire" (Mark 3:12).
An "unquenchable" fire is not an eternal or everlasting fire, but rather a fire that is not quenched. That is, it will be allowed to burn or purify until it's purpose is accomplished. (See, Jer. 17:27; Ezek. 20:47; Jude 1:7). Although these fires are called "eternal" or "non-quenched" fires, they are no longer burning today. They burned out on their own.
James said we should count it all joy when we are severely tried (James 1:2-3), and Peter said:
"That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perishes, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ" (I Peter 1:7).
Yes, Jesus paid the penalty for sin in full, yet it remains to take away the sin out of the sinners. Yes, Jesus is the Saviour of the world, but they don't know it yet.
"The next day John sees Jesus coming unto him, and says, Behold the Lamb of God, which takes away ( Greek aorist - indefinite tense, 'is tak-ING away') the sin of the world" (John 1:29).
Yes, Jesus presently "...is taking away the sin of the world." One sinner at a time (the "few) in this Church age. It is a process that will continue "...till He ( Jesus) has put all enemies ( all sinners) under His feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed ( Gk: 'abolished') is death" (I Cor. 15:25-26). And then and only then will "God be ALL in All" (Verse 28).
The Day of His judgments upon all the entire wicked world is coming (Isa. 26:9), when all humanity will be judged; will repent; will bow; will be made righteous; and all will be saved. This church age is not "the" only day of salvation, but rather "a" day of salvation:
"For He says, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succored you: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day... ( the definite article 'the' is not in the Greek manuscripts, it is rather 'a' day) ...now is a day of salvation" (II Cor. 6:2).
Notice that II Cor. 6:2 is a quotation from Isaiah 49:8 in the Old Testament, which is translated:
"Thus says the LORD, In an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in A day of salvation have I helped thee."
Theologians want us to believe that "now" is the only day in which people can be saved. Nonsense:
"Sing unto the LORD, all the earth; show forth from day to day His salvation" (I Chron. 16:23).
"Sing unto the LORD, bless His Name; show forth His salvation from day to day ( not 'now only') " (Psalm 96:2).
The rest of the entire world (as in the "all men" of I Tim. 2:4, etc.) will see the salvation of God:
"The LORD hath made bare His holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see ( is future tense when God will judge and will save all humanity) the salvation of our God" (Isaiah 52:10).
"Who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time" (I Tim. 2:6).
Bill Wiese in his book, and theologians around the world often talk about when it will be "too late" for people to repent and be saved. What utter unscriptural nonsense. Must the acceptance of Christ's ransom be "now" or never? No, Jesus' ransom "for all" will "...be testified IN DUE TIME"! Not all are being saved now. Not all know Jesus now. But they will, "in DUE TIME."
Furthermore, no one can save himself. The disciples asked,
"Who then CAN be saved? But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE" (Matt. 19:25-26).
But isn't every person responsible to seek God on his own? Nonsense:
"There is NONE that seeks after God" (Rom. 3:11).
We don't choose Jesus until He first chooses us:
"You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you..." (John 15:16).
And this is so because:
"No man can come to Me ( where is man's supposed "free will" in this statement of Jesus?) except the Father which has sent Me draw him ( Greek: 'drag him') and I will raise him up at the last day" (John 6:44).
Are we sure that man does not possess a "God-thwarting power" called "free will/free choice/free moral agency?" For sure man has a "will," but it is anything but "free" from all the causalities that makes man subject to all his carnalities and the pulls of the world. No, GOD is in charge of everything:
"For it is GOD ( man's 'free will?' No, 'GOD') which works in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure" (Phil. 2:13). (Read my 4-part series on "The Myth of Free Will Exposed" which is found at the top of our home page - The Lake of Fire series.
There must be something every man must contribute before God can save him? Not! Doesn't Heb. 11:6 state that it is impossible to please God without faith?
Doesn't man contribute his own faith in order to be saved? NO:
"For by grace are ye are saved through faith; and that ( that 'faith') is not of yourselves ( it is not man's faith) ; it is the GIFT of God ( it is God's faith in us" (Eph. 2:8).
Yes, every good thing including our faith, comes from God:
"...and what have you that you did not RECEIVE ( from God) ? Now if you did receive it, why do you glory, as if you had not received it ( from God) ?" (I Cor.4:7 & James 1:17).
I could go on like this for a hundred pages, showing you that God is in perfect control of His entire Creation, and that good will ultimately triumph over all evil, and God will correct every wrong and convert every soul until He becomes "ALL in All" (I Cor. 15:28).
There are no Scriptures that contradict the hundreds of Scriptures that I will present in this paper. The Scriptures do not contradict, so no one can find a verse that contradicts any Scripture I present. If you think some do contradict, then it is your understanding that is in error, because no Scripture contradicts another Scripture. Keep these marvelous Scriptures in mind as we go through this damnable and evil doctrine of the Christian hell.
According to virtually all Christians, it is the vast majority of humanity that will go to hell - estimates range from 90 to 95 percent. So based on their own statistic, I will now show what category of people must dominate the Christian hell.
