Topic: Hell Fire

Many people today don't want hell talked about because it scares them. Many people today do not want to believe or hear there is a hell after death.

Luke 12:5 But I will show you whom you should fear: fear Him who, after the killing of the body, has power to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear Him. (NIV)

It is better to live forever in Paradise because you saw reality and got scared, than to burn in hell forever because you didn't want to face the truth. You ought to be afraid of burning in hell. Fear is a great motivator. Jesus didn't have any trouble in telling people they were going to burn if they did not accept His truth into their heart and life.

Luke 16:19 "There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine Linen and lived in luxury every day. 20. at his gate was laid a beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores 21. and longing to eat what fell from the rich man's table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores. 22. "The time came when the Beggar died and the angels carried Him to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried. 23. In hell, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. 24. So he called to him, 'Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.' 25. "But Abraham replied, 'Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony. 26. And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.' 27. "He answered, 'Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my father's house, 28. for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.' 29. "Abraham replied, 'they have Moses and the prophets; let them listen to them.' 30. "'No , father Abraham,' he said, 'but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.' 31. "He said to him, 'if they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.'" 17:1. Jesus said to his disciples: "things that cause people to sin are bound to come, but woe to that person through whom they come. 2. It would be better for him to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around his neck than for him to cause one of these little ones to sin. 3. So watch yourselves. "If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him. (NIV)

Corinthians 15:55 "Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?" (NIV)

If you have ever gotten a bee sting, that is not what the unsaved person experiences in hell. No, there is not just a constant stinging, but worse. After physical death comes judgement. The alternative to living forever in heaven is living forever in hell. However, living in hell is worse than dying. Living in hell is an after-life where you remain conscious. This after-life is the hellish death of not breathing but gasping for air, starving for a tiny morsel of food but not being able to eat, begging for life but constantly dying, and begging for a drop of water on your tongue but never receiving any. This after-life in hell is knowing snakes and rats are crawling all across your body without any way to stop them. This after-life in hell is the worst horror movie you can imagine or the worst nightmare you have ever had come true. This after-life in hell is a living nightmare. This after-life in hell is what the loser chooses because they want to ignore it so they can sin.

Now, do you really think God will give you a pass from class when you chose not to attend?
