*Is Hell Real??? What do people Think? Proverbs 14:12 & 16:25 No, hell is not real. It is only a myth that bishops and church officials made up a very long time ago, i can't say when, but when Christianity was being converted from good will and piety, to exploitation of the followers and demonization of other faiths. They invented 'The Devil' and 'hell' to make easily fooled peasants believe that they needed church. Many people love the idea of heaven but hate the idea of hell. Many people believe in heaven; fewer believe in hell. It doesn t matter as we are all Okay and A good God would not send any of us there would he??? Well I have not done anything that bad so I don t believe I would go there!
What Does the Bible tell us about Hell? (Over 100 Verses) Matthew 25:41 as "eternal fire" Matthew 3:12 "unquenchable fire" Daniel 12:2 "shame and everlasting contempt" Mark 9:44-49 a place where "the fire is not quenched Luke 16:23-24 a place of "torment" and "fire 2 Thessalonians 1:9 a place of "eternal destruction Revelation 14:10-11 a place where "the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever" Revelation 20:10 a "lake of burning sulfur" where the wicked are "tormented day and night forever and ever" Matthew 25:46 Jesus Himself indicates that punishment in hell is just as everlasting as life in heaven (Jesus talked more about Hell than he did Heaven why?)
My Summer Vacation! 1. Iceland is the most volcanic place on earth. Iceland has about 200 volcanoes, dormant or active. 2. Iceland is responsible for more than 1/3 rd of all the fresh lava on earth! Earth s biggest eruption of the last 250 years, measured by volume of lava, was Bárðabunga in 2014-15 the eruption went on for 6 months and produced a stunning 85 km 2 of lava covering an area greater than the island of Manhattan! 3. 99% of Iceland s surface is made up of volcanic rocks. 4. In Iceland, the average soil heat flow is 175mW/m 2 and up to 300mW/m 2 5 times more than earth s average. Here our soil reads 65mW/m 2.

https://youtu.be/tshhzvvim84 The water in the geyser is 204 degrees Fahrenheit. The steam has been measured above 350 degrees. That s as hot as your mom s oven! Right before the geyser erupts, you ll see little jets and squirts of water. Then the geyser will begin to play. It shoots water up to 185 feet in the air. Most two-story houses are between 20 and 30 feet tall. Old Faithful is a lot taller than your house. If you go to look at Old Faithful, you ll sit on the boardwalk, about 300 feet from the geyser. (Or you could be badly burned!)

Why Would I Go to Hell Ten Commandments? 1. Have you ever put anything in your life ahead of God? 2. Have you ever worshiped a man made image over God? 3. Have you ever misused God or Jesus name? 4. Have you ever missed church or not taken a day of rest? 5. Have you always honored your mother and father? 6. Have you ever committed murder? 7. Have you ever committed adultery? 8. Have you ever stolen anything ever? 9. Have you ever told a lie about another person? 10. Have you ever coveted anything a women, a man, someones house, car, job, image, looks? If you answered yes to any of the above questions, per God s standards you now fully qualify for and should go to Hell! Regardless of what you think or believe you can t change this!
Why does this qualify me? Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, Romans 3:10 As it is written: There is no one righteous, not even one; Isaiah 64:6 All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; There is Hope? Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
Proverbs 15:9-21 (MSG) A life frittered (wasted, squandered) away disgusts GOD; he loves those who run straight for the finish line. It s a school of hard knocks for those who leave God s path, a dead-end street for those who hate God s rules. Even hell holds no secrets from GOD do you think he can t read human hearts? God is Omniscience! Psalm 139:1-6 You have searched me, LORD, and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you, LORD, know it completely. You hem me in behind and before, and you lay your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.
God is Omnipresent! Psalm 139:7-12 Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. If I say, Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me, even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you. It is impossible for you to escape the presence of God. What happens when we die? Hebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: 2 Cor. 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he has done, whether it be good or bad.
Galatians 5:19-21 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
John 10 The Good Shepherd and His Sheep Very truly I tell you Pharisees, anyone who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber. The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice. But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger s voice. Jesus used this figure of speech, but the Pharisees did not understand what he was telling them. Therefore Jesus said again, Very truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep. All who have come before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep have not listened to them. I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture.
John 14:6-7 Jesus the Way to the Father Jesus answered, I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him. Acts 4:12 No Other Name Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved. Romans 14:11 Every Knee / Every Tongue As surely as I live, says the Lord, every knee will bow before me; every tongue will acknowledge God.
1 Kings 19:11-13 The LORD said, Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the LORD, for the LORD is about to pass by. Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake came a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper. When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave. Then a voice said to him, What are you doing here, Elijah?
