Comment by Rev Hellbound Alleee on May 1, 2009 at 4:31am Hi Alleee God not only offers eternal life. Jesus saidYou "prefer," to talk about the good stuff. Of course. That means you don't want to think about it. You say we'll understand after we're dead. That means you don't want to think about it, and you don't understand why.
that our minds could not begin to fathom
the wonder of what He has prepared for us.
He said eye has not seen what the Father
has for us in heaven. Everything God has
for us is good ...except hell. He loves us
and wants to give us good gifts. Jesus
stands at the edge of hell watching people
going into it and do you know what He is
doing when he watches this. He is weeping
for them. He made it so easy for them to
accept Him but they wouldn't. He wanted
to take them under his wings like a hen
takes her chicks under her wing and He
wanted to protect them from this.
Yes, there is terrible unspeakable suffering
for those who do not accept Jesus but the
Bible tells us we will understand why it has
to be so when we are in heaven. We also will
forget people in our lives who we knew here
on earth who do not make it to heaven. God
will wipe them from our mind even if they are
our own children who refused to accept Christ.
This suffering which also goes on forever
need not be a concern to you personally but
you are letting your pride keep you from being
saved from that. There is nothing more that I
can say to you. If God came and offered you
something you desired most and you yourself
had no hope of getting it on your own, would
you let your pride stop you from accepting it?
I prefer to talk about God's love for people
rather than scaring them half to death but
the truth is there is a hell, and the rapture
will happen very soon and after watching
the "To Hell and Back" videos, I felt an urgency
to compel people to watch it and to choose God.
The final decision is theirs.
Babies and children do not go to hell.
In your example, you are talking about a man.
They cannot be trusted. Maybe if it was a
woman .... just kidding. But if the man
was a good man, fair, honest, loving then his
jail would not be an issue for those who chose
him and if he has all these attributes why
wouldn't you choose him. Pride, maybe?
Probably.
Did you know that God created Hell as well
as the earth and all that is in it? Hell was
created for the fallen angels and Satan. The
way I see it He could not have Satan in
Heaven contaminating it with his evil. He
could not risk it.
God is not only just and fair and loving, He
knows that He is. He can do these things
because He is God. We are nothing compared
to what He is. Who are we to question Him?
Yet He lets us do that.
Why don't you present your concerns to
God. He will not be surprised or even angry
at anything you say. You don't even have to
accept his Son, Jesus if you don't want. Ask
God to show you these answers. I think you
will be surprised what you will find out.
I don't think your brain can get it so I will
leave it at that. You just don't get it. You
haven't got what it takes. It takes guts to be
a Christian in this world.
You went to all that trouble to tell me that story
but who am I going to listen to? You or God?
You cannot say someone did not reach out to
you in love and tell you about the Way, the Truth
and the Life.
Tell me, what will you do or think when you
find everything I said is true, then what?
Have a great life on this earth because if you
don't change your mind, it is the only great
life you will have. I really feel sorry for you.
While I still have your attention, let me ask
you if you would like to be on my mailing list.
I don't always talk about God things. I send
various kinds of email of general interest and
you can always try it for a while and if you
ever want to be taken off of my list, just let me
know. I promise not to cry.

Comment by Rev Hellbound Alleee on April 30, 2009 at 6:13am Hi Alleee Alleee, you are always concentrating on
or trying the find the negative. It is to your
loss.
God gave us the choices or the offers and
He did so because He loved us. When we
disobeyed him in the garden of Eden or
anytime thereafter, He could have just
wipe us out and said "Forget it".
If you are so sure God is doing it all wrong,
please tell me how you would have done it.
Are you saying that you know better than
God?
To be fair to God (and yourself), you need to
try to look at it another way. Just try it
sometimes.
God could have simply chosen to let us
all go to hell and to live life without God.
Because He loved us, He went so far as
to become a man and die an excrutiating
death. Did you see the movie called "The
Passion"?
I don't understand why but apparently for
there to be light (righteousness) there has
to be darkness (evil). When you think
about it, if there was no darkness there
would be no need for light.
Do you know something ....The Bible calls
me righteous. People who know me will
tell you I am far from righteousness. God
calls me righteous because I am washed
in the blood of Jesus, cleansed of all sin
I have committed, do commit and will ever
commit. Do you see how it is not about
what I did to become righteous but it is
about what Jesus did FOR me. I hope
you will one day be able to say that about
you.
You say you have chosen between the two
offers but remember you can always ask
God to change your mind and HE WILL!
It is never too late in this lifetime. You
might even be given a chance to change
your mind at the edge of hell after you
die ...I don't know about that as the Bible
does not talk about it but in the videos it
seemed evident that God intervened at
the edge of eternity. When ever you are
faced with evil whether it is in this life or
on the brink of hell, say the name of Jesus
over and over. He will save you. There is
power in the name of Jesus. Try it sometime.
I am praying for you.
Don't think for a minute that it was an
accident that we met on the internet. God,
I believe, is giving you another chance to
change your mind and probably was the
one who arranged this 'meeting'.
The Bible says, "..... be transformed by the
renewing of your mind ...." Romans 12:2
To do that read the Bible. Start with the
New Testament. It can't hurt, can it?
In the Bible it says, "8 But God demonstrates
His own love toward us, in that while we were
still sinners, Christ died for us." Isn't that
wonderful? He didn't ask us; He just did it.
If He had asked us, we are so stupid we would
have probably said 'no'. Then what?
Then it goes on to say in Verse 9 "9 Much more
then, having now been justified by His blood,
we shall be saved from wrath through Him.
10 For if when we were enemies we were
reconciled to God through the death of His Son,
much more, having been reconciled, we shall be
saved by His life." Romans 5: 8-10
Did you watch the videos about hell?
God bless you and yours. God hears the cry of
your heart.
love and hugs
yf,
Helen

Comment by Rev Hellbound Alleee on April 29, 2009 at 9:17pm The answer is "no". When you accept Jesus as your Lord and
Savior, you go to heaven. So it is you who
decides if you go to heaven or to hell.'

Comment by Rev Hellbound Alleee on April 29, 2009 at 2:58pm Hello Alison
I just want to say one more thing about the 'command' to love God.
It is not possible for people to love God especially if they are not Christians yet but even Christians don't come out of the gate loving God. It appears to be a process that begins once you accept Jesus into your heart. It can happen instantly or it might happen over time. With me, it seemed to take a long time but I hear others who say they loved God right away.
Here's what the Bible says about it,
"Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us." Romans 5 verses 5
You do not make it happen, God does that after you have accepted Jesus into your heart and life. You can completely trust Him to take care of it. It is no concern to you about how to conjure up this love. When we ask Jesus to come and live in us, we are also given the Holy Spirit, which is the spirit of God. The Holy Spirit is a teacher and will teach and guide you into all things.
The Christian life is not about doing or not doing a bunch of things. It is about giving God permission to do it because He will not override your free will. The Christian life is not difficult to live but without Christ living it in and through you, it is impossible to live it.
These are the steps you need to take.....
1) Believe that the Bible is God's word
2) Understand that God is 3 parts. He is the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. He is one God with these 3 parts. There is probably a better word than 'parts' but I don't know what it is right off.
3) Jesus is the Son and is and was God. See the gospel of John. In verse 1, it says "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." (emphasis mine). Then fourteen verses later, it says "The Word become flesh and dwelt among us." This 'flesh' was Jesus. It is important to understand that Jesus was and is God.
4) Once you are ready to do so, you accept Jesus into your heart and life.
5) Then you learn about Him especially through the Bible. You can also learn from teachers, if you wish.
6) Call Bob George and find out if there is a People to People Ministry near you. It is a good idea to surround yourself with others of like mind as you.
Let me know if this information is helpful.
love and hugs
yf,
Helen
My answer:
Helen: You know the answer to this question. Please be brave and answer.
Did God make the rule that people who do not believe in Jesus must go to hell?
