“HELL IS REAL; LAKE-OF-FIRE IS REAL”!!!
April 14, 2007
Hello everyone;
I am writing about a place today that no man should want to go, “Hell”…Hell was not designed for man, hell was designed for satan, the beast, the false prophets…
Rev 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshiped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
It’s sad to say that there are some out there that do not believe hell is real, some don’t believe God is real, that the devil is real, some think the bible is nothing more than a book full of writings to scare people…Some people out there believe that Christ died on the Cross for our sins and there saved no matter what they do in there life…The problem with that kind of thinking is, that it will get you to hell, because God gave us strict instructions as to what we must do in order to be able to enter into heaven (The kingdom of God)…
It is true that God came to earth and manifest his self in the flesh (Jesus Christ is his name) and made him self a sacrifice for us to save us from our sins…However, the Lord also gave us a set of instructions, if you please, to live by, to guide us through this life, and if we do not abide by his laws and his commandments and become obedient children, well then, we will not being going to his kingdom in heaven…God demands obedience, if you have read the bible you would know this, and you know, God really doesn’t ask that much out of his children….Let me ask you a question, do you believe that the bible is the inspired written word of God, the only truth out there?
Before you answer that, I realize that there are bibles out there that people are reading that have been altered, some have been added to the word, and some have taken away from the word of God, which would be contrary unto the word of God….As it is written in the book of:
Rev 22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
Rev 22:19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
The NIV bible is a classic example of a bible that has been altered, for instance, there are scriptures that have been completely taken out of the bible, scriptures altered to have different meanings that what God intended for us…So, let’s take a look at what the word of God has to say about hell and the lake-of-fire…(I read from the King James Version of the bible, it is the closest to the original Hebrew and Greek writings)…And yes, there are people out there that say the King James Version has been altered, but I have something to say about that also at a later time)…In the book of:
Dan 12:2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
Deu 32:22 For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains.

Psa 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.
Psa 55:15 Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them.

Pro 23:14 Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.
Pro 27:20 Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied.
Isa 14:9 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.
Isa 28:15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:
Isa 28:18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.
Eze 31:16 I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to hell with them that descend into the pit: and all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, shall be comforted in the nether parts of the earth.
Eze 31:17 They also went down into hell with him unto them that be slain with the sword; and they that were his arm, that dwelt under his shadow in the midst of the heathen.
Eze 32:21 The strong among the mighty shall speak to him out of the midst of hell with them that help him: they are gone down, they lie uncircumcised, slain by the sword.
Amo 9:2 Though they dig into hell, thence shall mine hand take them; though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down:
Hab 2:5 Yea also, because he transgresseth by wine, he is a proud man, neither keepeth at home, who enlargeth his desire as hell, and is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth unto him all nations, and heapeth unto him all people:
Mat 5:22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
Mat 5:29 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.
Mat 5:30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, 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.
Mat 10:28 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.
Mat 11:23 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.
Mat 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
Luk 12:5 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.
Luk 10:15 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell.
Mar 9:47 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:
Mat 23:15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.
Mat 23:33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
Luk 16:23 And in hell he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
Jas 3:6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity; so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
2Pe 2:4 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;
Isa 5:14 Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.
Rev 1:18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive forevermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
Rev 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night forever and ever
Rev 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
Rev 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
Rev 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Rev 14:10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
Rev 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshiped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
Rev 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
Jud 1:13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever.
1Co 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
1Co 6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
1Co 6:11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
1Co 6:18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
1Co 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
1Co 6:20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.
If you truly believe the word of God, then you should believe that there is a hell and there is a lake-of-fire….Friends, heaven is real, hell is real, God is real, and the devil is also real…The bible is the only truth out there, which is the gospel of Jesus Christ…Don’t be fooled by cheap imitations, don’t fall for some watered down version of the word of God….There is One Lord, One faith, and One Baptism….Have faith in the one true God, Jesus Christ, believe the gospel…Anything contrary unto the word of God is of the antichrist….

antichrist;
Thank you for your comment…
I am going to heaven to be with my Father, Jesus Christ, although, the climate will be great also…
Why would you not want to live in a place where there will be no more:
Rev 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
Rev 21:2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
Rev 21:3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
Rev 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
Have you read the story of the rich man in the book of Luke, how he was being tormented in hell and was crying out to Abraham to let Lazarus dip the tip of his finger in water, that it may cool his tongue because the rich man was being tormented in this flame…
Doesn’t sound very inviting to me, what about you, antichrist?
antchrist, I have not made it to heaven yet, I must maintain obedience unto to my God, Jesus Christ, there is no such thing as once-saved-always-saved in the bible…
Luk 16:19 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
Luk 16:20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
Luk 16:21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
Luk 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;
Luk 16:23 And in hell he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
Luk 16:24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
Luk 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.
Luk 16:26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
Luk 16:27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father’s house:
Luk 16:28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
Luk 16:29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
Luk 16:30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.
Luk 16:31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
Hell is enlarging herself as I speak, without measure, according unto the bible…You really do not want to go there, besides, it is to easy living for the Lord, it’s hard living for the world, I know, I speak from experience…
Remember, it is for an eternity, forever and ever…
Truthbear
Truthbear,
I think I understand your points in this article. I agree partially with you, but do want to challenge you on one thing. You appear to claim that the “King James Version” is the only proper version of Scripture.
So, I have a couple questions to ask you:
1) How did all the writings spanning hundreds of years (the Old & New Testament) come together into the book we call the Bible today? Who selected the books to be put into the Bible?
2) The original writings were not in English. They were in Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic. Who translated the texts from these languages into the English version known as the 1611 King James Version?
2b) If your answer is King James, what do we know about his sexuality? (This is just an extra question for ya)
3) Did God only speak directives during the time the writing compiled together (we know as the Bible) and then cease – or would you say that He is still speaking to people today who are writing “inspired” works?
4) How are you, an individual who speaks English, sure that the translation from the native languages into English are accurate? Do you speak all of these languages and have read the original texts?
and finally…
5) What about the writings that are still being found today, from the same era as the Bible was written (such as the Dead Sea Scrolls)? Are these works of the devil or should we consider reviewing them and adding them to the “Bible” we know today?
I’m truly sincere in asking these questions. I would like your response, and will be revisiting soon to see if you have posted one.
Thanks,
Brandon
Brandon,
“Johnnie” is of the order of Christianista who uses the Bible as a drunk does a lamp post – for support rather than illumination. The message of the Bible is not something he can understand, he’s too busy trying to get the mote out of the eyes of everyone else to notice there is a beam in his. It’s useless to try and reason with intransigent delusion – he doesn’t know his aramaic from his greek, he doesn’t understand the subtleties, nuance, or danger of translation – and further, he doesn’t want to know. Sad, really – Christianity has much to offer, but Jesus’ followers have so distorted the message that it can’t get through the ignorance.
antichrist;
Once again you have came through loud and clear that your ignorant…God is my Rock, God is my Fortress, God is my Salvation…This seems to bother you antichrist, Why? Because you are a worker of iniquity, you have the spirit of the antichrist in you, and that is to bad, because God has something for you….God will forgive all sins, God will wash away your sins, but you have to cry out unto him and ask, you have to cry out and Repent of your sins…
However, your to busy taking cheap shots at Christians…The last time I checked, I never said that I was perfect, I am a long ways from it…You and me have something in common antichrist and you don’t even have a clue because your to busy being Mr. negative…I was the devil him self at one time in my life, or at least that is what people told me that knew me well…
But, look what the Lord has done! God took that ole stoney heart out of me and gave me a brand new one, God picked me up and turned me around, God placed my feet on solid ground…If God can do it for me, then He can do it for anybody…God is a miracle worker, God is a healer…antichrist, when your done being stupid, call upon the Lord and He will change you, God will fill you with His spirit…Amen….
Truthbear
Brandon;
I have done a little research on the King James Version of the bible, however, it is to long to put into a comment, so I will put out a post on the subject…As far as the Dead Sea Scrolls, well, it’s like this, if it isn’t in the bible, well then, it isn’t of God, pure and simple…God said in his word that His word will live forever…
Now with that said, I am no bible scholar and no I do not read Hebrew or Greek or Arabic, but I know what the Holy Ghost has told me…There are going to be many things said and shown in these last days, I do know to look up what I don’t understand, I do have a God that will enlighten me…
The Prophets and the apostles were moved my the Holy Ghost to write the bible and they all line up from the book of Genesis to the book of Revelations
Mat 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
Heb 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
Faith is how I know the bible that I read is the true word of God…
These are the last days my friend, beware what you hear and believe, God’s word never lies nor can it ever…
This HAS been amusing–but I lost track of how many times you wrote “your” for “you’re”–and as an indication of being stupid, that works for me. I won’t be back because you’re not worth the time and effort. Wallow in your mindless Christianista ignorance, if it gives you comfort.
You just make me yawn.
aNTICHRIST;
Your a weak mindless little dweeb…Your like a sewer pipe that just keeps running and running with no direction…In the end, you will know the truth, but it will be to late for you….
Truthbear
Truthbear,
Since you obviously looked up the answer to my question from a 1611-only supportive website, I want to give you my answers to my own questions. I am not a master of knowledge regarding all of this material, but I have done some research myself.. here is my findings…
1) How did all the writings spanning hundreds of years (the Old & New Testament) come together into the book we call the Bible today? Who selected the books to be put into the Bible?
2) The original writings were not in English. They were in Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic. Who translated the texts from these languages into the English version known as the 1611 King James Version?
2b) If your answer is King James, what do we know about his sexuality? (This is just an extra question for ya)
3) Did God only speak directives during the time the writing compiled together (we know as the Bible) and then cease – or would you say that He is still speaking to people today who are writing “inspired” works?
4) How are you, an individual who speaks English, sure that the translation from the native languages into English are accurate? Do you speak all of these languages and have read the original texts?
and finally…
5) What about the writings that are still being found today, from the same era as the Bible was written (such as the Dead Sea Scrolls)? Are these works of the devil or should we consider reviewing them and adding them to the “Bible” we know today?
The fact remains… regardless… that unless you read & understand the original language of the writings from the Scriptures – then you’re reading a copy. One that was translated by a human, not by God.
Saying that the first translation is the only authorized translation is just not accurate. Many Bible scholars have spent thousands of hours studying Scriptures and carefully recrafting the Bible in a language more easily understood by today’s audience. This isn’t “the word watered down.” Jesus saves is just as powerful as Jesus saveth.
Again, I ask you to consider your position of isolating people simply because it doesn’t align with the theology of your upbringing. The fact remains clear that we have a world of unbelievers that deserve to know God and His love.. but too many of us are busy fighting amognst ourselves that we don’t have time to witness. It’s no wonder many in the world want nothing to do with Christianity.
I hope to hear your response and I look forward to future dialogs with you on this subject.
Brandon
Brandon;
For your records, I did not look up 1611 information from a supportive website…I ran across this information from a source of mine, I read it and then I published what I read on my site…I was not aware that there was such a website anyway…
Brandon;
I preach the gospel as the Holy Ghost gives it to me…I will not cow down to man, I will follow the Lord…I give the word as it has been given to me…How did Jesus Christ preach the gospel, how did Paul and the other Apostles preach the gospel, “With Boldness” and of course with love…
Now I understand that you cannot beat someone over the head with God’s word…You cannot shove it down there throats, you can lead a horse to water, however, you cannot make them drink it..Some are indeed hungry for the gospel and want to be fed, and others just want to be intertained, some are truly hungry, but are afraid of what the gospel says….
I will not sugar coat the gospel, I will not retract the word of God for any man, if that offends some, well, I say, how many did Jesus Christ offend with the gospel? If the truth is not in a man/woman, then his gospel will offend them…
Okay, you talk about originality with the King James Version,(1611), Let me ask you something, How was the original “10 Commandments” written?
Were they not written in two tablets of stone? And if so, which they were because that is what the bible says, then what we read today is nothing but a copy,unless you can produce the orginal tablets of stone…
However, we uphold to them, do we not? Well, some do and some don’t, some just don’t care because of unbelief or ignorance…God said that his word will stand forever, Who will you believe, God or Man? I believe God will and has preserved his word from generation unto generation from the beginning of the bible…Let me ask you something else, the place you get your information, Is it original or a copy?
You cannot say original, because you did not write it, therefore it would be a copy of whatever you read…What I am writing now is a copy, unless I print it off and sign it as being my writing…You say that if a person doesn’t read the bible in the original Hebrew and Greek writings (language) that we cannot understand the meaning of the gospel…
That is simply not true…What you read and what I read and everybody else reads, is not original, unless you get it right from the writer them selfs…We have to believe and have faith in the fact that,Jesus Christ said his word will stand forever…We can hash over originality until the cows come home, but it is not going to change anything my friend, the truth is the truth…
The bible is the Authoritive Word of God, no if’s ands or but’s…Now that is what I believe, and since God called me to his church, his word has never lied to me, not even once…God used the Prophets and the Aposltes to write the bible over some 2500 years, why would God do that? Because God can do anything, Remember, we are his vessels, we are his tools to use however he wants to…
It is not for us to question the Lord as to what and why he does this or that…God is God…Are soul purpose for being here is to worship him, to praise him, to glorify him…Our other purpose for being here is to spread his gospel through the whole world to every creature as the bible says in the book of Mark 16:15;
Mar 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
You feel that the bible isn’t the only authoritative information on the gospels, well my friend, your standing in dangerous territory…Anything contrary unto the word of God,is not of God…
Eph 4:14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
Eph 4:15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
1Ti 1:10 For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;
Rom 16:17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offenses contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them
1Th 1:5 For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.
My position on isolating people:
I do not isolate people or at least not on purpose…Because I am not perfect, I therefore, am not above making mistakes just like everyone else…When I first came to God’s house and was preached to, his words offended me and the reason that the gospel offended me was because I was unlearned, ignorant unto the word of God…
And not only that, our flesh is in constant battle with our spirit, which both are contrary with the other…So, what i am saying is, that people are going to be offended no matter how you feed them the word, only because of what I mentioned above…None of us are immune to this, our flesh does not like the word of God…So, hopefully this makes since to you…
I believe the bible that I hold is the true word of God…It may be a copy, but God made sure that it is the truth…However, there are bibles out there that are not of the truth, I mentioned one of them earlier in a post, the NIV…I have read through it and compared other bibles, they have been altered, some scriptures have even been completely removed from there bibles, What’s it say in the book of Revelations 22:18-19?
May you have a blessed day;
Truthbear
