Showing results for "Hell" in Bibles & Bible Study

The great fourth-century church father Basil of Caesarea once observed that, in his time, most Christians believed that hell was not everlasting, and that all would eventually attain salvation. But today, this view is no longer prevalent within Christian communities. In this momentous book, David Bentley Hart makes the case that nearly two millennia of dogmatic tradition have misled readers on the crucial matter of universal salvation.

Is God a sadistic torturer? Coldhearted judge? Genocidal maniac? Unfortunately, our popular caricatures often make him out to be. God has some skeletons in the closet. At least, that's what many of us fear. "How can a loving God send people to hell?" "Isn't it arrogant to believe Jesus is the only way to God?" "What is up with holy war in the Old Testament?" These are difficult questions that our family, our friends, our culture - even we ourselves - are asking.

Why Hell? is meant to educate the interested listener without advocating for any one point of view. Steve Gregg provides food for thought for both trained theologians and serious Christian listeners who want all the data and then consider for themselves the consequences of three Christian perspectives on hell.

What happens when you die? We don't like to think about death. It's not a pleasant subject, and we avoid even discussing it seriously or giving it any diligent study. Yet our appointment with death is the most certain event in our future. We all know of personal examples when death has come suddenly to people, without warning, without preparations; car accidents, stray bullets, unforeseen strokes. When it comes our time, what do we expect death to be like? How will we enter eternity?

The question of whether God can be loving and send people to hell is one people have been asking for a long time. Surely a God who sends people to hell cannot love them? Starting with a look at who God is and how we relate to him, Benjamin Skaug looks at the difficult topic of hell, and what the Bible says about it.

In Hell? No! Rick Lannoye masterfully unravels all the ploys used to perpetuate the fear of Hell, beginning with the history of its pagan origins, the process by which Christianity adopted Hades' Realm from Greek mythology and how the original gospels have been manipulated to keep the unfounded fear of Hell alive today. Most importantly, Lannoye provides practical advice to anyone--no matter how emotionally and spiritually abused--about how they can be set free and become absolutely certain there is no such place as Hell.

The Gospel of Nicodemus, otherwise known as the Acts of Pilate (Acta Pilati) is not assumed to have been written by Pilate, but rather to have been compiled from the official acts which were preserved in the praetorium at Jerusalem. The original is said to have been written by Nicodemus in Hebrew. The work gained a wide readership in the Middle Ages, with its popularity shown by the number of languages and versions in which it exists.

In this caustic essay, the author asks: “Who goes to hell?” His answer: “According to the Bible, and the creeds, the immense majority of mankind.” He later comments that the idea of the inevitable damnation of the unbeliever “has probably done more harm to humanity than it has benefited from the rest of the gospel.”

As indicated by the title, this book presents a very critical look at the doctrine of Hell, which is rarely criticized within Christendom today. In the scriptures, there is no mention of "eternal torment" in the Old Testament, and in the Greek scriptures (the NT), there are three words translated to "hell": Gehenna, Hades, and Tartarus, none of which have anything to do with eternal torment. My objective is to guide you into the knowledge that the doctrine of hell is unbiblical and extremely harmful to those who hold to it.

Christians oftentimes are so ignorant of Islam and Mormonism that they argue that the Quran or Book of Mormon can’t be true if they contradict the KJV Bible, because they don’t understand that the Quran says that the Bible was altered by copyist transcribers onto decaying scrolls repeatedly, while Joseph Smith said the Bible was mistranslated if it disagrees with Mormonism. This book explains the differences between the Quran and KJV Bible, and also reveals other evidence for why the Quran’s version of Jesus could be possible.
