Re: Check this Book Out!!
[QUOTE=Jay;1140025]I have sat many times under the preaching of Hell fire. I have never once felt abused by that fact. I have afterward searched my heart because I desire to be perfect in the eyes of God. I am fully aware of how far I must go to attain that position, but I will not cease. I love my God and do not wish to fail Him, however, I also bear in mind the recompense that is due when I contemplate rebellion against His authority. My aversion to pain and suffering is enough to make me want to get as close to Jesus as possible.
The problem with Catholicism is that they take away from the doctrine of Hell by adding other doctrines to comfort their souls such as purgatory and limbo. Further, they will actually put more people into purgatory than they will ever say went to Hell.
I believe that Hell is a place of eternal pain, suffering, and explicit photographic memory. I believe that the cravings that caused a person to rebel against the Lord during life will remain and torment them after death. I do not believe that there is any release for those that are eternally lost for it is not located in Scripture.[/QUOTE]
That my friend is the most sad possible news, and I completely disagree with your view.
I have had a heart and a pursuit of God all of my life, and He has graciously revealed Himself to be a truly loving heavenly Father. Answering my prayer to "know Him as He really is", though it is not yet totally complete.
All will for sure be "salted by fire", or purified by fire. And that is the great Good News.
