Hank, You stated what I have heard many preachers proclaim, even some books I have read - "you might suggest to your friend that she run a tally (using an exhaustive concordance) of the number of Jesus' references to both hell and to heaven in the New Testament. (There are more of hell than of heaven, by the way.)" It's where do the preachers and authors get their information that I don't understand. Don't get me wrong, Hank. I AM NOT SAYING everyone will be saved and somehow delievered from the flames of hell. But according to Strongs Concordance - Jesus talked a lot more about heaven than He talked about hell. Hell is only mentioned a total of 15 times in the Gospels and only 8 times more elsewhere in the New Testament. Heaven is mentioned 130 times in the Gospels and about 108 other times elsewhere. This is just to "keep the records" straight. Keep up the good work. :) I appreciate you. Tom P.S. If I have neglected some detail about this subject that condradicts my conclusion - I am very open to being corrected. |

Hi, Tom. Did you also include the references to hell which don't actually employ the term, such as when Jesus refers to outer darkness with much weeping and gnashing of teeth, or to eternal punishment, or to being cast into the fire? All of those are obviously references to hell as well. --Joe! |
