"endless punishment" doctrine -
the "God's gonna get you that" teaching.
For years I have had trouble with two conflicting
ideas. On the one hand we were taught that
"God is love." But in the next breath we were
told that we would spend eternityin hell.
"This book is a “must-read” for those Christians
who have lost their way because they couldn’t
reconcile a Bible that declares that “God is Love”
while simultaneously teaching that the fate
of the sinner is eternal damnation."
"Are you at peace regarding the eternal
destiny of your children, parents,
brothers, sisters, grandfather, grandmother,
aunts, uncles,cousins, and friends?"
"We Christians have a problem,
a very serious problem.
The problem is in our belief that hell is “eternal”
and that most of humanity will go there."
But then, what about scripture like this?
"Thou wilt not leave my soul in hell" [Ps 16:10]
"God is the most awesome and marvelous Being
in the universe. He loves all people with an
everlasting love and has demonstrated that love
in Jesus Christ."
God's punishment is temporary, for correction, and at the end of a specific period of time,
we will ALL be together in heaven.
The book is available, free for the asking. Or, you can download it and read it on your computer.
Just go to www.hopebeyondhell.net and check it out.
If you read only the first 20 pages (the introduction) I think you will understand my enthusiasm.
