Hell is a Christian Hoax 40
Contradiction #38
"I asked my wife to come up for a minute so that she could just share with you what happened when she found me in the living room, because I don't remember that part" (23 Minutes in Hell, Internet Script, p. 3).
Here's the testimony of Bill's wife, Annette:
"I found him there traumatized, literally traumatized holding his skull, holding his head between his hands and crying out and screaming...I just started to pray..." (Internet Script, p. 3).
Bill asks his wife to "...share with you what happened when she found me in the living room, because I don't remember." But when we read Bill's testimony, somehow he does remember that part:
"But when He ( Jesus) left, the fear returned. I started screaming and ( I) lay there in a traumatized state. It was far beyond what anyone could bear. My cries were loud enough to reach the bedroom and wake my wife..."
Apparently, he does remember.
Then we have the contradiction of who got the two glasses of water - Bill himself, or Bill's wife Annette? Video #1 - "He ( Bill) ran to the kitchen and grabbed a glass of water." Video #2 - "One of the first things he asked for was a glass of water, and I ( Annette) I got it for him." And now from page 47 of Bill's book:
"I remember being amazed as I looked at the water in the glass Annette handed to me. It was life in a glass.
I gulped it down and asked for another - I never wanted to be thirsty again.
After the second glass was finished, my wife and I returned to the bedroom" (23
Minutes, p. 47), In the 2nd Video Annette says, "I got that ( glass of water) for him, and he calmed down and told me about what happened to him."
So once more, Bill contradicts himself. He says he didn't remember what happened after Jesus left, but then gives us some rather detailed events of more things that he did remember than even his wife remembered.
Contradiction #39
Bill experienced total darkness in a coal mine, or was it in iron mines in Arizona?
"I was lying in the cell and it went dark, pitch, pitch black. I mean a darkness I have never ever felt before. And I have been...way down in iron mines in Arizona. Somehow I was able to crawl and they let me... I remembered where the door was so I crawled towards it..." (Internet Script p. 9)."
Regarding this same event and experience from his cell in hell, Bill states: "I was once in a coal mine in Arizona that was completely void of light. I couldn't see anything, yet it was nothing like the darkness in hell" (23 Minutes, p. 9).
So, did Bill experience a similar darkness "in a coal mine," or in "iron mines in Arizona?" Are you ready for this? The answer is neither! Bill didn't experience this total darkness in a coal mine, or in iron mines. Well at least he got the right state (Arizona), didn't he? Nope, not even the State of Arizona is correct. And how can I state so dogmatically that Bill didn't experience any such darkness in a coal mine, nor in iron mines, nor in the state of Arizona? Simple: Because ARIZONA HAS NO UNDERGROUND COAL MINES OR IRON MINES!
Contradiction #40
"About this time, I'm going up this tunnel, and I'm just in absolute fear, hopelessly lost, and fearing these demons. All of the ( 'a') sudden, just all of the ( 'a') sudden, Jesus showed up! 'Praise you Lord", Jesus showed up. This bright light lit up the place. I only saw HIs outline, the outline of a man. I couldn't see his face, it was so bright. I just looked into this light and saw this outline. And I just fell on my knees and collapsed" (23 Minutes, Internet Script, p. 15).
What? he's ascending up a hollow tunnel, and he "fell on his knees?" How is it possible to fall on one's knees when one is suspended in space with absolutely nothing solid to fall on? If it is possible to fall down in the center of a tunnel, then he would have fallen all the way down back into hell once again.
Contradiction #41
"The reason I was shown this place was to bring back a message of warning... Today in our society, warnings serve to protect us from harm...What loving parent does not warn his or her children not to play in a busy street?...The truth is that He ( God) warns us because He is a good God, one who loves us and wants to help guide, and protect us...And it has now become my life's purpose to tell others what I saw, heard, and felt so that whoever reads this story will be able to take the proper measure to steer clear of this place at all costs" (23 Minutes in Hell, pp. xiv-xvi).
There are so many unscriptural contradictions in the above statements, however, we will take the time to look at just a few. So Bill says God sent him to hell so he could warn others of this fate. And that "God warns us because He is a good God." But then Bill gives us the following contradicting nonsense:
"The worse ( sic) thing in Hell, worse than all the torments, was I understood that, first of all, that there was life going on up here on the earth. And that people up here, Most people had no idea that this world even existed down here! They don't even know this is a real world down here and there's billions of people suffering and begging for one chance, if they had an opportunity to get out.
But they never get a chance to get out, and being mad at themselves for not taking the opportunity to have received Jesus, that they are stuck there forever ...This is the worse ( sic) thing about Hell, that there was absolutely no hope of ever getting out. I understood that. I grasped eternity. I could understand eternity" (23 Minutes in Hell, Internet Script, p. 15).
"I remember thinking, MOST PEOPLE up on the earth's surface have no idea that there's a whole world going on down here below the surface They don't know or wouldn't believe that so many are here" (23 Minutes, p. 107).
So God is a good God and therefore wants to warn humanity of this terrible place of eternal, insane torture called hell. And this is then stated as the reason God sent Bill to hell. Problem: How were the people on the earth warned before Bill Wiese was born? And why was it ineffective? What was God's original method by which people were warned before Bill was born, and why was that method a failure? Maybe sending Bill to warn the world will also be a failure?
There was no warning to Adam and Eve concerning an eternal hellhole of torture if one does not repent before he dies. Where? Moses did not warn Israel that they would go to an eternal hell of insane torture if they did not repent of their sins. There is not one single warning concerning an eternal hell of torture for unrepentant people anywhere in the entirety of the Old Testament. Is that fair?
Furthermore, not one Scripture that uses the spurious rendering of the word hell, anywhere in he Bible has anything to do with an eternal torture chamber in fire.
Bill himself tells us that most people are totally unaware of such a place:
"...most people had no idea that this world even existed down here! They don't even know this is a real world down here and there's billions of people suffering and begging for one chance, if they had an opportunity to get out."
So there apparently wasn't a warning for these "billions of people." Our first parents (Adam and Eve) weren't warned; Cain wasn't warned of an eternal hell when God confronted him for murdering his brother, Abel; Moses never warned Israel of an eternal hell of torture; and not one of the Old Testament Prophets ever warned of such a place. And so Bill goes on to say that "most people" have no idea that there exists a place called hell. And if most people don't even know Bill's hell exists, how can they be "...mad at themselves for not taking the opportunity to have received Jesus?" (Internet Script, p. 15). There are contradictions upon contradictions in virtually everything that Bill says.
If God sent Bill to hell to come back and warn others of this place, how, pray tell, were people warned before Bill was born? Does anyone in their right mind really believe that Bill Wiese with all his lies and unscriptural contradictions (not to mention his inane scholarship and writing ability) are God's best effort to save billions of fellow human beings from an eternity of insane, Satanic torture? Give me a break! And then for over a quarter of year Bill refused to get out this warning as he promised Jesus that he would.
