Yashua spoke more on Hell and why to avoid it than on any other subject.
Jesus spoke more of Hell than He did of Heaven..
The ‘fires of hell’ made famous by Dante, I believe, were the actual burning refuge area of Gehanna on the outskirts of Jerusalem, where the trash was burned and pagans had earlier thrown their unwanted babies.
And he was not speaking of either Hell, Norway, or Hell, Michigan.
What is ridiculous is saying that the Lake of Fire is Hell.
Revelation 20:14
“And death and HELL were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.”
Hell is destroyed in the Lake of Fire along with the unsaved. That is what is meant by the “second death.” The first death is the death of the body. The second death is the death, ending, of the souls of the unsaved.
Yes, there is a Hell. Yes, there are people right now suffering in Hell. However, Hell will be destroyed in the Lake of Fire.
One other thing in the study of Hell...the location/town of Gehenna is sometimes mistranslated into the word “hell”. Gehenna was a physical location which was known by Jews as a place of national punishment. Gehenna was a picture of what Hell would be, but Gehenna isn’t Hell.
October 24, 2012/ Rev. Marjorie Drickey called me on the phone to tell me she had a “MESSAGE FOR THE NATION”
This is Marjorie’s testimony: “I was sitting in my chair in the dining room at the Stockton Nursing Home in Stockton, Illinois, and my feet started to burn. I yelled, “My feet are burning up!”
The Lord then gave me a message for the nation: “The entire United States needs to repent! Hell is real. If we don’t receive Jesus as our Savior, we will go there.”
27 “He answered, ‘Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my family, 28 for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.’ Luke 16:27
The nurses at the Stockton Nursing Home had to put cool cloths on Marjorie’s feet to soothe them. When asked if she wanted pain medicine to relieve the pain Marjorie’s red feet, she answered, “This is nothing compared to hell. There’s no pain medicine in hell.”
If we are to love our neighbors as ourselves, wouldn’t we want to tell them about the Good News before Jesus comes again?
Background: As a young woman Rev. Marjorie Drickey received a vision from the Lord of people falling from a cliff into hell. She was convicted and called into the ministry as she read Luke 4:18: “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free.”
Marjorie attended Asbury College and became a Methodist pastor in nine different churches; 2 in Michigan, 4 in Chicago, Nebraska, as well as Calvary, Kent and Willow United Methodist Churches in Northwest Illinois. After her retirement Marjorie continued to preach at Kent and Willow Methodist Churches until the age of 87.
Shortly after her retirement Marjorie received a prophetic dream. The Lord told her to get her house in order. Marjorie then saw herself teaching Bible studies in a building with a large room and a smaller room off the side.
Rev. Marjorie Drickey, 92 years old, resided at the Stockton Nursing Home, Stockton, IL. The resident living area at the home had a large room and smaller room off the side. Marjorie conducted Bible studies and gave Sunday morning sermons for the residents.
The Lord has given that message more credibly before 2012. But as Abraham in the parable answered the rich man: Luke 16:27
Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: 28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. 29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. 30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. 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.
Nothing has changed since that parable was taught, for One has risen from the dead, yet sin and unbelief remain.
“Nothing has changed since that parable was taught, for One has risen from the dead, yet sin and unbelief remain.”
May we have a heart for the lost.
Matthew 9:36-38
36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 37 Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. 38 Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”
A literal, eternal, burning pit? No.
Punishment and death is eternal, just as the life everlasting is eternal....
to deny that is to deny the Bible.

Hell is nothing more than a Norse myth. Google it.
bkmk
I went to a very conservative Seminary and it was acknowledged by the professors quite reticently that probably around 60 percent if not higher of Protestant pastors are in fact universalist in their private beliefs. Universalism is the belief that an omnipotent and loving God would not send anyone to an eternal Hell and thus all will arrive at Heaven. I’m sure there are some variants but that is the gist of it.
Even someone like William Barclay admitted to this belief in his autobiography - he’s not the best example. Rob Bell along with all the guys in the emergent church/ social justice persuasion are not surprisingly falling into this heterodox belief system.
Yeah, pretty sad.
Well, whose arguing about it in the first place???
There’s also a “Perdition” in Michigan! I saw it in the move “The Road To Perdition!” You can look it up!!!
see above. :)
