Hell Revealed


HELL REVEALED

There are many articles and books written about “Hell”. The books and articles vary from something you’d expect from a Hollywood horror movie to something you’d expect in a university classroom. There have been people who have claimed to visit there and have written books on the experience, there are people who present, with frightening detail a place of unimaginable suffering, and then there are some who explain that the word “hell” from scripture is nothing more than an allegory and has been used by a religious system to control people by feeding off their fear.

I have written about this subject before, but I hope to present a clearer explanation of what I know “hell” to be. Mainly because, like David, and Jonah, I have known the pits of Hell myself.

Pslams 9
15 The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken. 16 The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands.

You see, this “hell” that so many are frightened of, is in fact something most people are spending a good deal of time in themselves. The “Pit” (of despair) that many find themselves in is not some future event where they are roasted infinitely, it is an emotional state that they themselves have been caught in because of their unbelief. This essay will show you what “hell” really is, what the word “hell” literally means, and how each of us has control over its gates, in Christ.

The good news is, regardless of where you find yourself… God is always there. So much for those people who say “Hell” is a place where God is not.

Psalm 139:8
If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in HELL, behold, thou art there

Everything has it’s existence in God. So there is nowhere, and no place, God is not.

1 Corinthians 8:6
But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are ALL THINGS…

Like David, we all can make our beds in hell and find God is always there to lift US out of it. In fact, we do this quite often. Like Jonah, we too have cried from the belly of hell and asked to be delivered from the belly of the great Beast (OUR carnal nature) we were trapped in, and God caused that beast to vomit US onto the shore (better foundation).

Jonah 2:2
And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of HELL cried I, and thou heardest my voice.

Notice the above passage. Jonah writes, “by reason of my affliction” which of course means his suffering, God heard his prayer… He was in the “belly” of Hell. He was in a place of suffering, he was afflicted by his unbelief and he was suffering in the “belly” of the great fish.

Now you know by now that I believe scripture to be a metaphor, an allegory, a mystery that God must unlock and reveal to us all. The Kingdom of Heaven is a MYSTERY to those are “WITHOUT” (the understanding and interpretation of it). And to those that don’t understand the “mystery/allegory/parable” all things are done in “Parable/Mystery/Allegory”.

But if you will dare to press further than a literal interpretation and you will pray to God saying, “teach me the truth no matter what the cost”, you will find that scripture does a good job of explaining what these stories really mean.

For example in the story of Jonah, even the word “belly” is an allegoric representation of our carnal mind. The “belly” is analogous with the “lusts” of the flesh (carnal mind). And of course the FISH is a representation of the carnal man that needs to be fished out of the depths of his ignorance (sea/mans ways). This is why Jesus made us fishers of men… get it? 🙂

In fact the “SERPENT” otherwise known as the “devil” goes about on its belly. His BELLY is how he gets from one place to another, the BELLY (man’s carnal mind) is how man navigates this world, and carnal man does this in darkness. That is a hell unto itself.

Genesis 3:14
And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life

Job 15:35
They conceive mischief, and bring forth vanity, and their belly prepareth deceit

I don’t want to go into too much detail about this word “belly”, but I want you to understand that as the word BELLY is an allegory, so too is the word HELL… Obviously a person’s literal stomach does not prepare deceit. Our imagination does. When we believe lies we act and think foolishly and for that we end up in “hell”.

And the sad thing is that there is no end to the suffering that we find when we leave the truth and faith of God for the lies and fears of the world (our lusts).

Proverbs 27:20
Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied

Now many have taken this above passage to mean there is a literal place of endless torment waiting for us, and it is so huge and there are so many sinners that it “increases daily”. But notice, how Hell and Destruction are simply other words to describe man’s lustful appetite?

You see when you operate out of that carnal nature, you will never have enough, never be enough, and you will never find peace or be content. Because the carnal nature of man, the ignorance of man is never satisfied, it is never full.

I know many of you reading this essay right now, have felt, at times that life is too hard to bear. I believe all of us, at points in our lives, hurt deeply and wonder, “What is the point of it all?”…

You see, when we are in those negative thoughts, God does not seem to be anywhere around. In fact, we may even get angry at God for allowing hurtful people to tear us down, or allowing disease to steal our peace… This anger and pain can feel like a fire inside of us, burning our spirit, tearing us apart. But when we REMEMBER the gospel (the truth which is good news) as Paul said, we are set free. And what we are set free from is our own ignorance. This is salvation indeed.

So what does the word “Hell” even mean? Well when reading scripture you will find many words translates into the word “hell”. The most common is Sheol which literally means “the grave, the pit, hidden place”. Now what you will also find is it is our actions, our thoughts that open the gates to hell for us to check in for a spell.

Matthew 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.

When we allow our anger to take hold of us, we act foolishly. And when we act foolishly we indeed reap what we sow. Many times in scripture you will read about “fire”, in fact the words fire and brimstone have been used to describe what you might find in “hell”.

But if truth be told, Fire and Brimstone are simply allegories for how God, purifies people from their foolish thoughts. Both Fire and Brimstone are used to purify. Fire is used by the smith to rid precious metals from impurities, and Brimstone was used much like we use soap today. For those that don’t know what brimstone is, it is simply another word for sulfur… You may have heard of Sulfur soap, well if you haven’t Sulfur Soap has many Benefits. Historically known as brimstone, sulfur is a powerful natural mineral that is essential to physical health!

So both Fire and Brimstone are GOOD things. Well for years, FIRE has scared all of us. But look at who else is compared to FIRE.

Deuteronomy 4:24
For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire

Matthew 3:11
I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire

Christ BAPTIZES us with FIRE! That means when we begin to come into the Kingdom of God, into the Rule and Reign of Truth, we are immersed in FIRE. Now of course this isn’t a literal fire, but it is an ALLEGORY. Take a quick look at how God purifies us, and delivers us from our ignorance and suffering.

Malachi 3:3
And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.

A Silver Smith holds the Precious metal over the HOTTEST part of the FLAME. All of the impurities bubble up and away, and the Smith only know the metal is pure when he can see his reflection in the silver. The same is true for us. Our hardships, our suffering, everything we go through in life, all the “hell” we endure is for but a moment. It is there to bring us to perfection.

Acts 14:22
Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.

There is no future afterlife to fear. There is no “hell” waiting for those in the future after they die as some say. There is only “hell” in the present. And yes it is a place of darkness and suffering, and weeping and back biting and pain. But this is not an ENDLESS place. In the end, Hell and Death are destroyed and they give up their dead.

Revelation 20:14
And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire.

So much for people teaching you “HELL” is infinite. Don’t forget in the end, ALL OF GOD’S CREATION praises God! And it will be in those moments, when none of your past sufferings in “hell” will matter, because it cannot be compared to the glory revealed in you.

Revelation 5:13
1 And EVERY creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.

Notice it doesn’t say SOME, but EVERY, everywhere, will be praising God. There are many other scriptures that speak of this reconciliation of all things into God. But this article is for those who want to know what “hell” is. The first thing I have tried to do is show you that “hell” is a not event.

2 Samuel 22:7 The sorrows of hell compassed me about; the snares of death prevented me…

Notice, the sorrows of hell are also the snares of death. Both hell and death are allegories of our IGNORANCE.

Romans 8:6
For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace

When we operate out of our carnal mind, we are ignorant and do not know the truth. It is impossible to avoid suffering when you don’t know whether something is real or not. Fear is the noose that strangles us all and makes us all act the way we would not, if we knew better.

HELL is a mindset we enter when we leave the Truth of God for the lies of this world. It is our anger, our guilt, our sorrow, our fear and more negative nonsense that causes us such suffering.

HELL IS THE OPPOSITE of LOVE and TRUTH.

Whatever one thinks in their heart, that they become. Our faith and our thoughts are a powerful tool of creation. This is why, we are told to think ONLY ON GOOD THINGS.

Philippians 4:8
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

You’ve heard the old expression, “You are what you eat.” – Well this is taken from the great wisdom of those who have gone before us, “You are WHAT YOU THINK.”

This is why, the only escape from HELL is Christ (the Power and Wisdom of God). The only way out of a tormenting mindset is to change your mind. You must leave the LIES you believe for the TRUTH of God. The Good news is, Love does prevail in the end.

I believe, ultimately we learn from our mistakes, we reap what we sow and grow because of it.

As the lead character in my novel says, “Even a child learns to stop touching the hot stove.” – This is how God brings us to the knowledge of the truth and the stature of the perfect man (Christ).

Now many have been taught that once you are sent to “hell” that there is no return. But not only is that not true it is the farthest thing from truth. Our sufferings are for but a moment, and good will always come out of it. God will not leave us in a place of torment (testing).

Psalm 16:10
For thou wilt not leave my soul in HELL; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

God will not leave our soul in such a state. We will learn eventually, that it is better to love than hate, better to forgive than be bitter, better to see to a persons pain than see their fault.

You see when we suffer, we learn from what we endure. It all works together for our good. In the end none of it will matter anyway, because our suffering is for but a moment in the grand scheme of things. But like the pressure placed on coal to create a diamond, like the suffering of the oyster to produce the pearl, the hell we go through creates something far more valuable… a PURE SPIRIT AND PEACE OF MIND!

This is the way GOD has LIFE set up, our reaping what we have sown eventually teaches us that we MUST COME TO CHRIST (GOD’S POWER AND WISOMD) to escape the DEPTHS OF HELL (our suffering, ignorance, carnal ignorance, anger, guilt, shame, fear)

Proverbs 23:14
Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from HELL.

Like any Good Father, I believe God corrects us. Sure we’ll suffer in the TIMEOUT of our own personal hell, until we say… “Sorry Dad, I won’t do it again.”

We, like Jesus LEARN OBEDIENCE by the things we suffer. And we suffer when we SIN (thinking and act foolishly – And many times we suffer because other people taught us wrong, and so we end up worse than we were to begin with, and worse than those who taught us ignorantly.

Matthew 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.

This is what it boils down to. Most of our suffering and insecurities comes from the conditioning/brain washing/and experiences of our past.

To be a child of HELL, doesn’t mean you are birthed out of a place of infinite suffering, it means your beliefs have been birthed out of ignorance which causes you to suffer needlessly.

When I ask many people, “Why do you share the Gospel?” The answer is always the same… “I want to see people saved.” — My follow-up question is always the same, “Saved from what?” — Their answer “HELL, ENDLESS TORTURE”

Now, God does not give us the SPIRIT OF FEAR, yet many have this FEAR, and USE THIS FEAR as a motivator. Not just that they threaten, “You better do this or else.” They also worry about those that died or their loved ones who killed themselves without saying the words “Jesus save me”. They truly believe these people are destined for INFINITE TORTURE. What a terrible thought. How very little many think of God. They think the worst of God instead of the best. As if God is some petty, hateful monster who would rather torture than teach.

Many today say that OUR CHOICE can keep us from the Love of God. That we can someone choose to be apart from God. Well, in our thinking, yes, but truly there is no separation from God, for God is all there is. And NOTHING can separate us from the LOVE OF GOD… Mind you, I said NOTHING!

Roman 8:
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God.

There isn’t anything that can separate us from the Love of God. Now that doesn’t mean, people won’t be entering those gates of hell again and again, and weeping and screaming, until they UNDERSTAND THE TRUTH and FINALLY ACCEPT CHRIST (Power and Wisdom of God) TO BE FREE.

The Hebrews didn’t believe in Eternal Torture. Ask any Devote Jew.

Paul “worshipped the God of his Fathers” — God is the same, yesterday, today, and tomorrow. The God of Paul’s fathers, didn’t know Jesus after the FLESH, but they knew Christ after the spirit… and the ONLY HELL they understood, was the HELL OF THEIR VAIN IMAGINATION. (ignorance, anger, hate, greed, sorrow, guilt, shame, etc)

Proverbs 15:24
The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from HELL beneath.

HEAVEN is always pictured as UP, and HELL is always beneath. These are two mind sets, One of HIGHER UNDERSTANDING and one is LOWER UNDERSTANDING. One brings hope and peace, the other brings fear, anxiety, and suffering.

We are all where we are and God makes everything beautiful in ITS TIME. So we need to put this debate to an end, we need to say THE HELL WITH HELL and seek Christ.

Many have asked man to prove the things of God, but man cannot do this, only Christ IN you can reveal the things of God.

Deep down we all just want to be accepted… This is our DESIRE, because deep down we’ve been tricked into believing we have been REJECTED BY GOD. Even though He has never left us, nor forsaken us, and is WITHIN US, not far away as some will say.

Religion over the centuries has continued to perpetuate the belief that if we don’t do exactly as “THEY” say, we are headed for a place of endless doom. No wonder everyone walks around with a dark cloud over their head.

So, if a person from birth is brought up to believe this or that, I understand someone coming along with all the proof in the world is not going to change that persons belief. An outside work NEVER DOES IT, it has to be done INSIDE.

God is not the AUTHOR of confusion he is a GOD OF PEACE. God doesn’t use FEAR TACTICS to motivate man, as Man does… God motivates with LOVE. “LOVE DRAWS A MULTITUDE TO REPENTANCE”

2 Timothy 1:7
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

If all of us BELIEVED THIS, it would be easier for us to love other.

So why do people want to believe in a God that would give up on his creation and torture them instead of teach them and help them? The reason is simple, if God does this, than it gives them the excuse to do the same. This is why so many “Christians” see people as Saved or Unsaved… instead seeing People as brother or sister. However, if we BELIEVE God is forgiving, merciful, patient, kind, loving, peaceful than WE WOULD BE THE SAME. This is why I say, THE HELL WITH HELL!

If we saw God in the BEST LIGHT than we would see ourselves through the same eyes.

The world has been tricked into thinking wrong instead of right. It starts with the parents, and the cycle doesn’t end, until ONE WAKES UP to the REALITY OF WHO THEY ARE IN CHRIST… We torture ourselves daily with negative thoughts, worry, fear, and dread… THIS IS HELL PEOPLE!

When I was a child, I thought as a child, worried about the Monsters in my closet and under my bed, but when I grew up I put away childish things and said, THE HELL WITH HELL!

Many in the past have brought up the following scripture as a way of proving, “hell” was a place of infinite torture, a place where God would send his children… Even though God thinks literally burning your children is an abomination.

2 Chronicles 28:3
Moreover he burnt incense in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and burnt his children in the fire, after the abominations of the heathen whom the LORD had cast out before the children of Israel

Many use ths scripture from revelation, the sad fact is they never took the time to see how wonderful it really is.

Revelation 14:11
And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name

The word TORMENT doesn’t mean Torture, it means “To test the purity of precious metals by use of touchstone”… sound familiar? And the words for “ever and ever”, obviously doesn’t means for infinity and infinity… the word “for ever” literally translates into an “age, ages, period of time”. So in fact this scripture means God tests us all for a period of time, and while we are tested we have no rest, because we are still ignorant believing “we” are in control. The longer we worship our EGO (THE BEAST) the longer we will suffer in “hell/Ignorance”. The good news is, in the end everything that hurts us is destroyed.

We will be delivered from hell. We have been given the keys to the gates of Hell, which means, we have the understanding to let ourselves OUT OF OUR IGNORANT SUFFERING and we also have the ability to not use GOD’S WISDOM and let ourselves back in. But eventually, even our Ignorant Suffering, even this place of death (ignorance) known as “hell” will be no more.

I hope this article has cleared some things up for you. Life is hard enough in the Hell that is in the here and now, we don’t need to be scared of some future torture to make that hell (our ignorance) bigger than it was before. When you come to the truth you let it all go. There is no past anymore, there is no future to worry about, there is only the moment. The question is where are you choosing to live that moment in?

I want to leave you all with some questions to ponder. Perhaps these are questions you can share with others who do believe in infinite torture. In the mean time, if you haven’t already PLEASE SUBSCRIBE to this blog, it is free and you will get all the updates and new essays. Peace Jacob

1) God teaches us there should never be an end to our forgiveness. The question is, will there be an end to God’s forgiveness? Does God says do as I say, not as I do, OR does God’s mercy endure forever?

2) Gods finishes his creation in VICTORY. Is sending a majority of his ignorant creation to endless torture, Victory? God saw all that he created and he said, IT IS GOOD?…How can that be, if a majority is lost? (It is God’s will that none perish.) How is that Victory?

3) How can any be lost, if EVERY tongue confesses Christ is Lord, to the Glory of God? And the only way to glorify God is to be completely obedient to Him.

4) If “NAME” is translated as “NATURE” from the greek, is it possible that EVERY NATURE that is not written in the book of Life, like greed, lust, hate, envy… is what is actually destroyed? And if the Lake of Fire is eternal Torture, why do ALL OF US have our part in it?

5) If the things of the Kingdom are a Mystery, and many things are meant to be taken allegorically… is it possible the same is true for HELL?

6) Can anything separate from the LOVE OF CHRIST? Bible says no.

7) If Hell is eternal Torture, then how did David make his bed there? How did Jonah pray from there and be released?

8) If God doesn’t change and is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow, then how come ETERNAL TORTURE, which was created by the Holy Catholic Church and there is no record of it before that? … Why don’t the JEWS believe in Eternal Torture… Paul worshipped the God of his Father’s, and if the Jews do not believe in Eternal Torment, than Paul couldn’t believe if he worshipped the same God.

9) God says we cannot choose HIM, but he Chooses us. God hardens and loves whom he hardens and loves… How then are we responsible? Name one character in the Bible who didn’t do God’s will… including Pharoah and Satan.

10) If Hell is ETERNAL TORTURE, why is HELL thrown into the lake of Fire?

11) 1 Timothy 4:10: If God is the SAVIOR OF ALL MEN, and the GREEK WORD FOR ALL… means “ALL:)” How can any be tortured for eternity?

12) If someone is ignorant, what is better for a Loving God to do… PUNISH ENDLESSLY WORSE THAN ANY EVIL PERSON CAN DREAM UP… Or would a Loving God TEACH HIS IGNORANT CREATION to know better?

13) If we wouldn’t cast away our children and torture them endlessly for doing the wrong thing and not knowing better, and we be “evil” know this, why would a PERFECT GOD OF LOVE do different?

14) How come Hell is sometimes translated as Death and The Grave if it is endless torture.

15) How come the word TORMENT from the Greek is translated as “THE TESTING OF PRECIOUS METALS BY USE OF TOUCHSTONE” and not Torture? (Is it more likely we are TESTED until we are PURE? Or Tortured endlessly)

16) If God is a Just God, how is ENDLESS TORTURE a just punishment for IGNORANCE?

17) If God doesn’t give us the spirit of FEAR, and Jesus taught that we shouldn’t use fear as a motivator, why is there a DOCTRINE OF ENDLESS TORTURE?

18) If it is IMPOSSIBLE for MAN to know the things of God, is it possible then that the way HELL is UNDERSTOOD and TAUGHT by some today, is completely wrong?

19) If God ONLY DOES WHAT HE WILLS, and it is GODS WILL that ALL BE SAVED? And ALL OF CREATION comes to perfection and the knowledge of the perfect man Christ, HOW then are any Lost? And if they are Lost, will he not leave the 99 found sheep to go after the one who is astray?

20) IS GOD’S ARM SLACK THAT IT CANNOT SAVE? Is it possible, the doctrine of Eternal Torture is in fact error… considering even the word FOR EVER, is translated as “age, ages, period of time” — from the Greek Aionos. Could many be wrong?

Now if you are looking for more BIBLICAL PROOF… please do go through this extensive list that was compiled by my dear friend Elwin Roach from http://www.godfire.net/ — ALWAYS QUESTION AND NEVER SETTLE! If it isn’t love it ISN’T TRUTH!

12 thoughts on “Hell Revealed

  1. Guest November 14, 2011 / 11:44 AM

    I want everyone to know we cannot serve 2 masters. That means we are only subject to 1 master at a time. And in this world(hell), like it or not, admit it or not, our master is not God, it is our ego and we are only deceiving ourselves even further if we say otherwise. Our ego is not subject to God or his law, therefore, God is not our master. This is really important to grasp in order to begin to tear the veil down. To say we can change our thinking to get ourselves out of hell is a lie. Sure, it will seem as if things are great for a while, but trust me, it won’t last and you will be right back where you have always been. That is because it is still your ego doing the thinking, it’s just thinking different thoughts but those thoughts still belong to the ego, not Christ. And those thoughts only serve the ego, not Christ because we cannot serve two masters, only one. We serve ourself in this world. We are our own master and our counsel is our thoughts which is actually coming from the serpent hanging from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. That is why we are told to take every thought captive and to take no thought for tomorrow. This is impossible to do in our waking life because in our waking life, we are constantly eating from that tree of knowledge of good and evil and the serpent is always speaking to us our thoughts. So, Jacob, you were right when you said we are what we think. We are indeed and everything we think comes from the serpent who is a liar. So what the serpent speaks is lies which is our thoughts and eat those thoughts and become one with them and we become a lie and that is why scripture says let every man be a liar. Everything I have written is for the purpose of making you all realize your whole life is a lie. You are not anything this world says you are. You are not who you function as in this world. You are not your physical body. You are not who you are married to. You are not your sexuality. You are not your money or your financial portfolio. You are not your job or career. You are not your education or lack therof. You are not your gender or race. You are not your clothes and jewelry or lack therof. You are not your home or lack therof. You are not your vehicle, vehicles, or lack thereof. You are not your physical health. You are not that reflection staring back at you in the mirror. You are not your fears, doubts, worries, insecurities, or goals. You are not a product of your family. You are none of this. But this is who you function as in this world. But this is not who you will be when you leave this world. It is only for now and only for you, who you really are, to learn from. Because, once again, in order to know the truth, we must first know the lie. That is what we are all now experiencing, the lie and it is generated by the carnal mind. The truth is within, not without. The truth is not anywhere outside of us and cannot be seen with our physical eyes. It can only be seen with our spiritual eye. When we are asleep in this world/reality, we are much more spiritualy aware than we are when we are awake in this world/reality.

  2. Guest November 14, 2011 / 10:36 AM

    Jacob, you have written before that our wife is an allegory of our soul. I agree. Adam was made a living soul. Adam is our carnal nature. We marry the person who we are attracted to. And what attracts us? Their physicality, their personality, their beliefs, their goals, their education, etc, etc, etc. And all of those things we are attracted to are apart of this world, which is hell. So we get married and call it a union of God. But it is not a union of God which is a union of spirit, it is a union of man which is a union of flesh. And that union is conditional. There are certain things we expect from one another in order to keep that union strong and in tact. We have to constantly work to keep our marriage strong and if we fail, our marriage fails. The true marriage, which is a union with Christ does not require any work and can never fail and it certainly is not a marriage of flesh. In this marriage, there is only ONE and that one is Christ. There are not 2 people in this union as there is with the marriage of flesh. What I am getting at, is the marriage of flesh does not in anyway represent our union with Christ. Our union with Christ is not conditional, requires no work, and can never fail. Our union with Christ is not based on how physically appealing we are or what kind of clothes we wear or how much money we make or how nice of a home we live in. No, those things belong to the marriage of flesh, not the marriage of Christ. And here is one more thing. In the marriage of flesh, the rings are always on the LEFT HAND. But Christ sits on the RIGHT HAND of the Father. Just another example of how everything in this world(hell) is opposite of the truth(God).

  3. Guest November 14, 2011 / 10:20 AM

    We left the truth of God the moment we opened our physical eyes when we were born. This is when each of us began to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. One of the first things that occur when we are born is we are given a name(nature). That nature is who we are in this world and who we will always be in THIS world. We cannot escape hell while we are in this world. We can only be made aware of the truth that we are in hell NOW. Once we realize that we are in hell now and that hell is actually for our good, then we will begin to have some peace. But it does not change the fact that this world is indeed hell. Whether we want to admit it or not, each and everyone of us are completely attached to our egos, our nature, who we function as in this world. We can say we trust in God but then as soon as hardships strike, we default to worry, depression, anger, etc, etc, etc. This occurs because we are still attached to our egos and always will be in this world. This world is not our destination, it is our JOURNEY. We are here to learn the complete truth of who we are, where we came from and where we are returning to. We do not have any power over the gates of hell, only God does. We cannot simply change our thinking and poof everything is okay. That is yet another lie of a very long list of lies our ego tells us. Do not forget that Satan, not God is the God of this world we are all in now. Satan(our ego) tells us we need to be financially secure. We need to have a good marriage, a dream home, nice cars, fancy clothes and jewelry. Satan(our ego) tells us we need to have a great career or job, we need to be physically appealing. You see, those are the types of things we all seek in this world to fulfill us. We say God wants these things for us. That is why we are here. We are suppose to love our lives, right? Well, what happens when things don’t quite go our way anymore? What happens when the money isn’t quite as good as it once was? What happens when the marriage turns rocky? What happens when nature begins to take its course and no matter how much we hit the gym or how many surgeries we have, our physical bodies just don’t seem as hot and sexy as they once did? We get down. We may even become depressed. Where is our happiness then? Where are the praises to God then? My point is we have all been deceived by our ego(Satan/the god of this world). I am not saying it is wrong or bad to want the forementioned things above. I am saying lets be honest about it all. Those things are what our egos desire in this world. Those things are what makes our egos happy in this world. And all of those things are very much apart of hell because that is what this world is, hell. We can say we can have heaven here or enter into the Kingdom of God here, but it is all a lie our ego tells us to keep us trapped. Jesus said my kingdom is not of this world. He knew full and well this world is hell. That is why he told the pharisees they love the LIE(this world) more than the TRUTH. There is a scripture that says if we love the world we do not have the love of God. But here is the good news. We cannot help but to love this world because we function through our carnal mind(our ego, satan). And it is the carnal mind that generates this world we love. And the carnal mind is not subject to the law of God which is true, unconditional love, than man is not capable of by the way, nor can it be. And here is the real kicker, God subjected us all to this carnal mind also known as vanity. He subjected us all to it to learn from it. And what we all will learn and are learning is the truth because in order to know the truth, we must first know the lie. The lie comes before the truth. So please don’t believe you can escape hell in this world because you cannot. This entire world is hell and is for our good and God will not open those gates to let us out until we have learned everything He sent us here to learn. Only then will we get out. Only then will we not be subject to the carnal mind, our ego, which generates this world/reality, we very mistakenly call life. This is our death. We have not begun to live yet because we are all still eating from the tree of knowledge of good and evil that the serpent hangs from and speaks to us from. We cannot change our thinking or our mind, only God can do that and He will do that in His own time, not ours. We cannot take the Kingdom by force.

    ENDJOYED YOUR WRITING JACOBTHE BESTS LINE IS
    You are WHAT YOU THINK.”

    This is why, the only escape from HELL is Christ (the Power and Wisdom of God).

    • jacobisrael71 November 14, 2011 / 7:52 AM

      Right on Paula, we are what we think indeed. I wish we all could think better or ourselves and others. Much love Jacob

  5. peter November 13, 2011 / 9:33 PM

    Another great article, Jacob.. but i can already see Christians come up with verses that they think prove hell anyway. Here are a few:

    matt 8:12 But the subjects of the kingdom will be thrown outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

    and this is another nasty one which is difficult to comprehend if you don’t have the eyes nor the will to see:

    matt 25:45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’
    46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”

    And let’s not forget this one:

    john 5:28 “Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice 29 and come out—those who have done what is good will rise to live, and those who have done what is evil will rise to be condemned.

    Anyway my point is that hell-believers will always find something in the bible to keep their ‘faith’ in hell alive. I guess it’s pretty hard to look at those verses in any other way once you’ve been brainwashed to see them in the ‘light’ of Christian doctrine..

    Still i think that an article like this is very helpful for those who really seek truth. In the end i think something has to start working within first, something that makes you feel there’s something not quite right with what the preacher preached today.. and that’s when the quest begins. It was quite a long path for me so far, and still i have the feeling that i’m just at th every beginning, the tip of the iceberg.. but i love every bit of it so far!

    Keep up the good work Jacob!

    • jacobisrael71 November 14, 2011 / 7:51 AM

      Peter,

      Very true indeed. It would be hard to really share and explain every scripture that has taken on the “hell/endless torture” context. And I do believe whoever is being prepared to learn more will learn more indeed. Thanks again for the comment man, Peace Jacob

  6. Dan G. November 13, 2011 / 7:00 PM

    This essay is one to store and re-read from time to time….This one point you wrote says so much “So why do people want to believe in a God that would give up on his creation and torture them instead of teach them and help them? The reason is simple, if God does this, than it gives them the excuse to do the same.” EXACTLY! Who gives the authority for this kind of behaviour?…Our nature (name) does. This is a good proof to see just who an individual obeys.

    Thanks Jacob…really good

    • jacobisrael71 November 14, 2011 / 7:48 AM

      Hey Dan, glad you enjoyed it man. Believe it or not that is one of my favorite points as well. We are what we worship. Peace friend, Jacob

      • Marilyn Patterson December 8, 2016 / 7:59 PM

        You have just touched the surface,line upon line…but “Thy will be done on earth that it is in Heaven…”

        Earth is the place where Satan, the son of the morning,was cast down with his believers…a place of confinement…forever being
        found in human suits for gravity sake…there is only one truth and it is by God’s supernatural revelation not by peacing together with your mind’s effort…

  7. Penny November 13, 2011 / 2:34 PM

    I’m so glad you wrote another essay about hell. The teaching about this subject by most churches has planted so many seeds of ignorance, fear & suffering…but it is suffering that does not produce a greater understanding of God…it instead causes us to see God as a hypocrite who tells us to forgive our enemies but shows him as a tyrant who tortures his without any hope of redemption.
    What we believe about hell definitely affects our perception of God. It’s no wonder so many criticize “Christians” for being so ignorant to follow such a manic God…because that is exactly how the “man-made doctrine of hell” portrays him.

    Thanks again for another essay that shows God as the God of love, mercy, & wisdom that he truly is…

    • jacobisrael71 November 14, 2011 / 7:47 AM

      Thanks so much Penny! There is so much we all still have to learn, I’m always looking for more and hoping more will be revealed. I just hope whatever I write makes a difference for those who read it. Peace Jacob
