1 | belief in hell? | Bible general | Maus | 240082 | ||
Don Holmes: I fully believe that Jesus has accepted you just as you are, and that He will eventually show you the truth of all matters which He deems important for you to understand correctly, much better than any person can. Nowhere in the Scriptures has God given any man perfect wisdom and understanding in all things. If God chooses that you do not believe in Hell, what is that to anyone else? It certainly cannot affect your salvation by faith, because we are commanded to believe that God is, and that He rewards all who seek Him. And that Jesus is the only name under the heavens whereby we may be saved. Nowhere does it say that believing in Hell is essential to our salvation. Perhaps someday God will clue you in, perhaps not, who is anyone else to judge between you and God? Meanwhile, when you ask questions of people, do not defend your position, but listen quietly; for if you can't help but to disagree with them, then you must ask the question of yourself; Did I ask a question in hopes of finding something out better, or only to provoke an argument? |

It does bother folks that is why most Christians try to get other people saved. I believe some of the most accomplished "soul winners" are those that have internalized the realities of hell. We are not given the option of simply saying we don't believe in this or that. We are told we must rightly divide scripture.2 Tim 2:15 Which means to handle the Word of God correctly or in a straight forward manner. We are not given the luxury of being able to ignore or remove the sections that don't appeal to us. Too many claim today to be Christians but only believe the parts of Christianity that they want to believe. Some have even made their own God by taking the attributes of God they like and keeping them and discarding the parts they don't like. What they end up with in not God of Creation the God of Abraham Issac and Jacob at all but a god created by them. A false god. Hell is a reality. Jesus spoke of it often. It is woven throughout scripture. How can we say we believe Jesus just not the parts we don't agree with? It is all or nothing. |
