I will look up that book.Yet what about all the people who have had near death experiences and have come to opposite conclusions?Betty Eadie,for one.
I may be terribly mistaken but I really don't think Hell is my destination.Sure,I've sinned VERY often in life and not only violating God's law but my OWN moral standards.I have had to do a lot of forgiving and atonement,not only to God but for those I have hurt.
I'm almost sixty now,a cancer survivor going on five years-Praise God-,a doper,an alky,a s--t stirrer,a blasphemer,an adulterer,a fornicator,a liar and a real jackass much of the time.I KNOW sin,baby.
So the only way to redeem myself is to spend my life serving God and the righteous down here on Earth.I ain't got it COMPLETELY together yet but I'm sure nuff' working on it!

If you have Christ in your life as your Lord and Savior, don't worry about hell. Heaven is your destination. We're all sinners saved by God's grace, Riverman. When you repent and ask for God's forgiveness, it's like a clean slate. Of course, if you keep doing the same old sin, you need to stop and He can help you do that as well. Your past is just that, PAST. Enjoy today and don't worry about tomorrow. We spend way too much time in guilt and shame for what we've done (I've done some of that stuff, too, Riverman) when God wants us to live for Him NOW. We don't know what tomorrow will bring so let's enjoy today. Love, Maryxxx
