Rachel, the Lord sent
your kitten to flash light
in your eyes three times
to try and correct you.
wake up.
wake up.
see the light.
He always corrects by love,
with those closest to our heart.
The Word.
A Kitten.
A Friend.
Three witnesses.

Something I have been searching myself. hell and damnation that is taught in most churches. the past few months I have been questioning this doctrine. I think the translations have interpreted this incorrectly. It makes sense now that when we die we are in a state of sleep until Jesus comes back. Rachel appreciate this teaching on this very important subject.

Good on you Rachel for being brave enough to look into & speak up about this issue.

You might be interested in Evangelical Universalism? Have you come across it?

One of the biggest lies spewed out by pagan Christianity is Eternity spent in Heaven,..not one place in The Whole of Scripture does it say that,..quite the opposite actually,..The Messiah will Reign as King on This, His Fathers Earth, Forever,..as it is Written.

in fact i can find anywhere that says any human will be in ‘hell’ for enternity,

why if our lives are described as a ‘vapour’,..as in

James 4, v 14,For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away

why,would Our Loving Heavenly Father,..His Son,..or Holy Spirit want to keep something that lives for so short of time in torment for ever?..

from what i can discern,.only 3 entities are thrown into the ‘lake of burning sulphur’…satan,..the beast from the pit,..and the false prophet,..we can discern,..this is not the bottomless pit as satan is in it for 1000 years,..while the beast n false prophet are in the ‘lake of sulphur’

what we dont know is,.. what is the ‘lake of sulphur’?

as for everyone else they go into the ‘lake of fire’..with ‘death’ and ‘hell’/'hades’,..call it what you will,..who’s names arent Written in The Book of Life.

the only other group,..tares/satans seed/the brute beasts type humans,..the Waterless-spring ones,..hmmm,..’blackest darkness’ is reserved for them,..
is this Bible speak for nothingness?

as for the disobedient angels that are in The Fathers Prison,..what of them?,..are they getting their punishment now in ‘prison’ to actually maybe be forgiven?

The Parables of The Lost Sheep,..and The Prodigal Son,..have maybe more meaning to them than what is taught in Churches too!,..just like the lies of Eternity in Heaven…or hades/hell….as they both go into the lake of ‘fire’ forever!,..from that we can discern,..theres nothing going to be in them then!

Thankfully we can take comfort that Our Heavenly Father has Chosen A Loving Gentle Humble King to be over us Forever,..and The Fairest Judge

Anonymous …of course Luke 16 v 19-31 is a parable,..a fantastic parable,..

i mean the ‘rich man’ calls Abraham, Father,….surely there is only One Father,..and are we not told to call no one Father…..and what use would dipping a ‘finger’ in water be?

Please explain,
‘died, and was buried.’
(below)

Luke 16:22 And it came
to pass, that the beggar
died, and was carried by
the angels into Abraham’s
bosom: the rich man also died,
and was buried;

In that context,
please explain the
statements,
“remember” and
“in thy lifetime”
below.

Luke 16:25 But Abraham
said, Son, remember that
thou in thy lifetime receivedst
thy good things, and likewise
Lazarus evil things: but now
he is comforted, and thou art
tormented.

Only those with the ears to hear understand. For those who have the ears, the parable clarifies .. to others that don’t it hides the truth. But if you seek the truth from God and trust HIM to teach you … you will find. Matthew 7:7

Matthew 13:13 “Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.”

Matthew 13:15-16 For the hearts of this people have grown dull. Their ears are hard of hearing, And their eyes they have closed, Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, So that I should heal them.’ But blessed are your eyes for they see, and your ears for they hear;

Matthew 23:8-10 But you, do not be called ‘Rabbi’; for One is your Teacher, the Christ, and you are all brethren. Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven. And do not be called teachers; for One is your Teacher, the Christ.

Along with that parable in Luke 16:19-31 … read Matthew 19:23-26.

Rachel, I’m not being a
smart elect, but do you
think this is a parable?

John 18:20 Jesus
answered him, “I spoke
openly to the world. I always
taught in synagogues and in
the temple, where the Jews
always meet, and in secret
I have said nothing.”
