Seems like Hell has become to a lots of people, one big joke. People use this phrase when they are mad at someone,people use this phrase in a kidding manner. What's funny about a place God set aside for judgement? Why is Hell not preached anymore in Churches by God fearing pastors. Fact is Hell is a place of no hope forever, no dying in Hell, no friendships in Hell.
Think about this, Hell is a place of eternal separation from a loving God. Hell has become so common place that people no longer fear going there. Some time back, I heard a preacher preach a sermon titled "What in Hell, do you want?" In my learning about this place, I have concluded there is nothing there in Hell for me.
There is an insanity that takes over people, who would want any part of a place called Hell. My heart is heavy in that many good people will go to a place called Hell. We must realize that unless people are saved through repenting of one's sins, they will go to a place called Hell. Unless they accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Master or else, they'll go to a place called Hell.
This comes from the God breathed Word of God, the King James Version of the Bible. I know people that honestly think a loving God would not send them to a burning Hell. Truth is that God hadn't sent anyone to Hell, individuals send themselves to Hell by rejecting the Lord Jesus Christ. Hell is a subject that upsets people that have loved ones that have died without the Lord Jesus Christ.
Hell is a subject that most backslidders try not to think about knowing at some point in time, they will have to stand before God. Hell is as real as any place, I've ever been or places I know about like Mount Rushmore,or the Grand Canyon. Get this Hell is mentioned 22 times in the New Testament, Jesus spoke most about this place called Hell.
Jesus spoke mostly in the form of warning against people going there. The sad part of writting this message is that many who could avoid spending eternity in Hell's flames will go there.What in Hell do you want? Why..... would you not accept Christ and make Heaven, you're eternal home?
Scriptures about Hell and the Lake of Fire:
Revelations 20:11-15,
11. And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
12. And I saw the dead, small and great stand before God; and the books were opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them; and they were judged every man according to their works.
14. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Luke 16:22-25,
22. And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
23. And in Hell he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
24. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
25.But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things; but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
2 Peter 2:4, For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into the chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment.
Matthew 10:28, And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul; but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
