Subject: how to start reading the bible? |
Bible Note: Dear Friend, How true! Yes, that is an EXAMPLE that we should ALL FOLLOW. And yes, most of those who believe in the doctrines of eternal torment in hellfire and in the Trinity DO NOT follow that example set by our Berean Brethren. They simply DO NOT search the Scriptures, but they tend to take every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of their preacher, vice 'every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God' as Jesus said we should live by every word out of His mouth. If they would follow this fine example set by the Bereans, they would quickly see that God has never created a place for anyone, including the Devil, to be eternally tormented as they would know that God's JUSTICE is just that, JUSTICE and it will not exact a more stringent penalty than what is deserved. Most Christians believe that God's JUSTICE is 'JUST-US', or just those that believe, this too is untrue. They would also recognize that Jesus, having DIED for our sins, and thus paying the wages of sin, i.e. DEATH...He being perfect and without sin took our DEATH in His body on the tree so that we might have life again IN HIM. If eternal torment in hellfire were the penalty for sin, then we're all lost in our sins as Jesus never paid such a price for our redemption. He DIED for the ungodly, and thus took our place in DEATH, not in Hell. If Hell were eternal, then our Savior would have to suffer eternal torment in order to REDEEM or RANSOM us from such a penalty. I, along with the Bible, declare that our Savior PAID the PENALTY for Sin, namely, the DEATH [Romans 6:23] penalty. He did not and is not currently roasting in hellfire, and this is positive proof that NO SUCH PENALTY for sin ever existed. "Prove all things, hold fast that which is true." - 1 Thess. 5:21 "STUDY to show thyself APPROVED..."- 2 Tim. 2:15 Yes, this is GOOD ADVICE for those who do not yet know the GOOD NEWS and also for those of us who do, this is faith-strengthening!
