A friend received an email admonishing her for her lack of knowledge regarding hell. The email went on to list several books my friend should read as well as a link to a must see forty-five minute video.
As Christians, called by His Name, bought by His blood, saved by His Amazing grace - we are called to be salt and light, not torch bearers for the enemy.
"There Is No Hell" is certainly wishful thinking at its worst and most destructive. The Bible is replete with warnings about the lake of fire and who will follow the Antichrist, False Prophet along with satan and his demons.
As we stumble and grope our way through life, tilting at windmills, majoring on minors, grumbling and complaining as did the children of Israel traveling in the wilderness, we must remember:
"the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds,casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.” 2 Corinthians 10:3-5
Our battle is a spiritual one and can only be won when we employ the spiritual weapons that God has put at our disposal. Indepth studies of hell produce no fruit, shine no light into the darkness, give us neither peace nor joy and offer no hope to a lost and dying world.
The enemy of God would like nothing better than that you should take your focus off Jesus and all that He has done. How does knowledge of hell edify the lost, bring sight to the blind, or hope to the hopeless?
Do not loose site of your goal Christian, Do not loose your focus.
"Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passes away, and the lust thereof – but he that does the will of God abides forever."
1 John 2:15-17
