The Severity of Hell Part 3

 I have previously written the following as introductions to the Scripture review on the topic of hell:

This is part 2 of this teaching on hell. How long has it been since you heard a sermon on hell? Do you consider the subject tasteless and unloving? If so, how do you reconcile the fact that Jesus taught on hell? If He is your Master, why do you not follow Him? I wrote the following in part 1:

If you attend church on a regular basis, how long has it been since you heard a message on hell? Most pastors prefer to teach on the soft and gentle subjects like love, grace, blessings and happiness. If a pastor never preaches on hell, you may rest assured that they are an unsaved hireling working for Satan under cover as a minister. How can I say that? Simple, if I was a watchman on  bridge and I knew the bridge was out because it had been sabotaged by a cruel individual in the midst of a storm and I saw cars headed that way and I only told them how great the road was and how wonderful the view, I would not be a true watchman. I would be someone who was working for the cruel individual that sought to destroy as many people as he could with his plan to kill and destroy.

An article was published on July 25, 2021, by the Washington Times. The article stated that "Fake Christianity" has supplanted Biblical Christianity in America. The Fake Christianity has at its core what is referred to as Moralistic Therapeutic Deism. MTD believes that we are here to be good people and try to do good. Everything is supposed to be geared to making you happy. MTD believes that there is a distant God who just wants you to be happy. So away with the prohibitions on homosexual behavior, lust, infidelity and any thing that makes you feel unhappy, and of course that includes the topic of hell. 

People are going to hell that think they are Christians and we that know the truth have a command to tell the lost the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ and includes His teaching about hell. The following are additional Scriptures to study:

1. Punishment of, is eternal: Isaiah 33:14: "The sinners in Zion are afraid; Fearfulness has seized the hypocrites: 'Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? Who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?'"

2. The wicked shall be turned into: Psalm 9:17: "The wicked shall be turned into hell, And all the nations that forget God." (BLJ: this most assuredly must include the USA given the anti Christian government in place and the hypocritical "Christians" that supported putting it in power.

3. Body and soul suffer in: Matthew 10:28: "And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell."

4. The wise avoid: Proverbs 15:24: "The way of life winds upward for the wise, that he may turn away from hell below.

5. Hell is getting bigger: Isaiah 5:14: "Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure...."

Reader friend, consider the Scriptures on hell. It is to be avoided at all costs. It will be eternal and severe. Find a church that preaches against hell and gives you the way of salvation, not some sugar coated easy believeism or decisionism. Know the gospel: Christ crucified, Christ buried, Christ resurrected, Christ ascended and Christ exalted!
