Jesus Did Not Believe In Hell!
Or is it really so surprising?
Though they’re loath to admit to the real reason why they do it, there’s a good reason why more and more Evangelical ministers are no longer preaching “Hell fire and brimstone” but are, instead, referring to it as a mere “separation from God,” as if the fiery flames were a good metaphor for the kind of feelings pining teens go through after a break up with a boy friend or girl friend! No, on some level, they know very well that Jesus’ original, core message–that God is loving, caring and forgiving–is completely incompatible with the idea that the same God plans to torture billions of people for all the rest of eternity!
If one is willing to look, there’s a ton of evidence contained in the gospels to show that Jesus opposed the idea of Hell! Here’s just one example: In Luke 9:51-56, there’s a story about his great disappointment with his disciples when they actually suggested imploring God to rain fire on a small village of people just because they had rejected him. His response: “You don’t know what spirit is inspiring this kind of talk!” In other words, Jesus said only the spirit of Satan would inspire such a thing as burning people! He went on, trying to explain how he had come to save, heal and relieve suffering, not be the cause of it.
It only stands to reason, then, that this same Jesus, who was completely appalled at the very idea of burning a few people, for a few horrific minutes until they were dead, could never, ever burn billions of people for an eternity!
So, are you one of the millions of people who suffers from the fear that, maybe, just maybe, there is a Hell?
Have you been taken advantage of by preachers and/or extreme political organizations who used your uncertainty about how God might want to cause you pain in the next life…for their own gain?
Or, even if you are sure there is no Hell, wouldn’t you like to have some very clear and concise facts and explanations that you can have on hand to help out friends and acquaintances who are clearly suffering from the abuses that all too typically follow the acceptance of this horrific belief?
Then my book Hell? No! would of great help to you!
I literally spent decades figuring out where the belief in Hell really came from, why it’s impossible for Hell to exist, and also why anyone who wants to follow what Jesus originally said to do needs to begin by tossing out this man-made doctrine.
I’m not exaggerating. You really and truly can be certain, there’s no such place as Hell!
