There is no HELL!! Really? Luke 16:19-31

 Hello Fellow Americans and Christians!!  God is good all the time, all the time God is good!

 Why would I say there is no HELL?  Well, let us look at it for a moment.  First, we have the atheist who believe there is no God.  So, I'm guessing that in their eyes when we die we just cease to exist.  Hmmm!  Could that be so? Say it ain't so, say it ain't so!

   Then you have the agnostic who is not convinced there is a God, and believes it is impossible to prove there is a God. This person is non-commital, they won't say there is a God and won't say there is not a God.  What happens to them? Hmmm!

   Then you have the religious person who says there is a God and a Jesus and a Holy Spirit.  They believe in the Trinity, yet, no commitment or relationship with Jesus Christ.  They can talk the talk but don't walk the walk.  What happens to them?  Hmmm!

   And finally, in my book, you have the Christian, people of the old testament Way.  These people believe there is a true living God who sent His one and only son, Jesus, to shed His blood for us; giving us salvation.  Where do these people go upon death?  Hmmm!

   Well, the reason for the title, "There is no HELL!" is because for the true God fearing Christian there is no HELL that they will experience.  They, you and I, are heavenly bound for eternity.

  However, the first three, atheist, agnostic, and religious, there truly is a HELL. A place of torment for eternity.  How do I know this?  Look at Luke 16:19-31. - Lazarus and the rich man. 

   The rich man lived a life of luxury whereas Lazarus lived the life of a beggar, lying at the gate full of sores.  The rich man lavished in food, clothing, and worldly pleasures.  Lazarus ate crumbs and dogs licked his wounds.  A large difference between the two.  Well they both died.  Lazarus wound up in the arms of Abraham and the rich man went to hell and was tormented.  Now here comes the real story and we must know this and share it.

   The rich man saw Lazarus in Abraham's arms and cried out for him to send Lazarus with a touch of water on his finger to relieve the torment on his tongue.

   A thought you may have is can we see into hell and can they see us in heaven?  That is heavy theological discussion to have with a theologian, not me.

  Abraham said it won't happen and there is a great gulf between us (heaven and hell) that no one can cross.  Then the rich man asked that Lazarus be sent to tell his brothers.  Abraham said they had Moses and the prophets that was enough.  They would not believe anyway.  

  So what am I trying to say here.  First, when we die our soul will continue to exist - either in heaven or hell.  For the believer there is no hell.  Second, we need to share the word with family and friends, plant the seed, let God germinate the seed so they will be in heaven with us.  Third, just a reminder that what you have here on earth, your worldly possessions mean nothing to God at the time of death.  What you did with what God gave you (worldly possessions) could have an impact on many if you were a good steward of those possessions.

   I do hope this all makes sense to you.  It does to me. :) Thank you for reading. Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
