Are You Tormented By the Thoughts of Hell?

While growing up in my broken home I wasn't taught much about God or Jesus Christ. I didn't really know anything other than the fact that there is a God and I learned some Bible stories. However, I did get exposed to quite a few churches at different times through various people.

When I got married and had children, we became involved with a certain church and became members. I thought I was doing the right thing. Going to church makes you a "good" and "respectable" person, right?

But the things I learned instilled terrible fears in me. I became afraid for everyone. Especially, those that I loved and cared about. I had learned about the awful hell that most of humanity "is going to burn in forever and ever".

All I could think about was looking down from heaven and watching them scream in agony while I "enjoyed" paradise because I did the so-called right thing and they didn't.

As in most churches, my preacher had a way of making it seem that if you weren't an active believer and "doer" in the doctrines that he believed and taught than you were going to be a part of the eternal barbecue.

Of course, I was on a mission to help save my loved ones and others so I would end up in talks and (heated) debates with them to try and make them see "the light" to try and save their "soul" from "hell". They all thought I was a fanatic. But, I was determined to do all I could to "save" them.

Many years have passed since then and I've been through a lot of valleys in my walk with Jesus Christ and I am truly thankful to be able to say that I know Him personally because He has removed the veil from my eyes so I can see Him and our Father clearly. To see God is to see the Son. To understand His character is to see clearly. God is L-O-V-E.

He has used my experiences, many hours of seeking the Truth in His Word, and the teachings of godly men to bring me to the understanding of His true character. He has also taught me that the Bible is written in a way that no other book on this earth is written. It is encoded with deeper hidden meanings than what the literal words on the pages "appear" to say.

Our God is not a cruel and mean God that created people to torture them throughout eternity. The hell that the preachers all rant and rave about is not the meaning of the word hell, lake of fire, or judgment, at all. They are teaching that our good God is evil by teaching these lies. They do not know Him or Jesus Christ.

If you truly know God then you know that these teachings are not true because God is not mean and evil. And, you can't get anymore mean, cruel, and evil then to torture babies, kids, teenagers, women, and men by burning them with fire forever and never stopping, even for a second. This teaching is the ultimate blasphemy! It makes God out to be the worst of the worst of all time!

Please think about what you are believing. Do you really believe that God is going to roast helpless little infants and children alive? Can you even imagine how evil this is? Does this sound like God or does it sound like satan? Who's character does this really sound like?

When you know someone then you know what their capable of. Of course, we can be deceived about a person but God is not a sinful person. God is SINLESS. He is PERFECT. He is GOOD. He is RIGHTOUS. HE is LOVE. HE is MERCY. Get the picture?

Jesus Christ said that if you have seen Him you have seen the Father. What was Jesus like? He was kind. He healed, fed, and helped thousands of people. He didn't accuse the people before He helped them. He just wanted to help them and did because He loved them.

The only people that Jesus Christ ever even showed any sort of anger against was the "preachers" (pharisees) and the money changers in the temple. Even then He didn't harm them physically. He just exposed their wickedness to the people.

If there was a horrible torture chamber that God is going to burn babies, toddlers, children, teenagers, women, and men in for all of eternity, wouldn't Christ have made a really big deal out of it to desperately warn the people so they could avoid going there? Did He go around shouting about the tortures of hell and how everyone needs to do this certain ritual or that certain ritual to keep from burning? NO! Christ preached the gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven. THE GOOD NEWS!

What's good about what the churches teach? Their teachings are backwards. The only thing good that they teach is that they themselves will be "saved".

The churches don't come right out and say these things, but what they teach is that satan is on the throne in control of everything, that God is weak, at satan's mercy, hoping people will "get saved" because God is too helpless to save ALL His creation from the power of satan and sin -even though the Bible expressly teaches over and over that Jesus Christ died for the whole world.

The churches don't even teach that it was God that created evil. Satan didn't create evil or become evil. God created satan evil from the beginning in order to do the evil that God need to be done so we can learn what evil is. But, remeber that God's purpose for evil is to bring something good from that evil eventually. It is not for meaness.

Remember: Christ was angry with the "preachers" (pharisees) because they were teaching the people lies about God. They were making up doctrines by their own interpretations and convincing the people that their teachings were God's teachings.

Friend, this is exactly the same thing that is still going on today. It has never stopped. It started back then and grew worse and worse until the world has been so brainwashed by these doctrines of demons that the teachings are just accepted as Truth.

I'm not saying that these preachers are all purposely teaching lies. Most all of them really believe their own teachings. But, it doesn't change the fact that they are teaching lies about God and blaspheming His character.

The Bible interprets itself but you must be shown how it does it and it is NOT they way the preachers do it - it is NOT context, context, context! It is NOT literal! The Bible is SPIRITUAL just like God.

If you have been deceived by this strong delusion that has come upon all of mankind to believe that "good is evil and evil is good" then I pray that your eyes will be opened to the real Truth of God and His loving character and His love and plan for all His creation.

Yes, we are having to experience evil during this lifetime but God has reasons for our experiences. He is using our experiences to achieve His final goal of creating us in His image. God knows the difference between good and evil and it was necessary that we learn the difference also in order to be like Him. You can't tell someone what evil is you must experience it. God's ultimate goal is not to harm any of us but to bring us all to perfection in Jesus Christ. He is working everything for our eventual good.

No one is going to spend eternity in horrible, screaming, agony. God's purposes in chastising us is to teach us to do good not to torture us. We are God's creation. We are His children. We are His family. If sinful humans wouldn't burn their children in a big bonfire (even though some have) for all eternity do you think that a sinless God would? God does not do evil, He does good. Yes, God uses evil as a tool but only to accomplish a good purpose. Even the worst evil has a good purpose eventually because God control evil not satan. Satan cannot do anything that God does not want him to do!

If you want to learn the real Truth about God the Father and Jesus Christ His Son and what the Bible actually teaches about these things that have been so twisted until they are completely backwards, then please visit these two sites:

These sites are run by very godly men, L. Ray Smith and Mike Vinson. I thank them both for being tools in helping me to understand God's true character. Their teachings are a wonderful supplement to help understand God's Truth.
