Christ on Hell - Series

Christ on Hell Series


A lot people say that there is no one who spoke more on hell than Christ...


They claim, Jesus talked a lot about Hell. No he did not.


"By my count (with the help of some BibleWorks magic), there are 1,944 verses in the four gospels that contain Jesus’ words.

Surprisingly,  only about 60 of those verses–or an unwhopping three percent of them—might be construed as either directly or indirectly referring to hell.

On the other hand, there are more than three times as many verses in the gospels in which Jesus references heaven, eternal life, or his coming kingdom: 192 verses in all, or almost 10%.

So Jesus did not, in fact, speak more about hell than heaven. But many people who should know better still seem hell-bent on insisting that He did."  Did Jesus Speak more about hell than heaven.


He talked a lot about Gehenna


The word "hell" never came out of Jesus' mouth. Jesus spoke Aramaic. He said "Gehenna" which is quite different.


Look it up and read some books on the Jewish history of its meaning.


-------


Why did He talked a lot about Gehenna?


You see, Jesus was an upgraded version of Jeremiah.


Jeremiah warned many years before Christ, that Jerusalem would be burned in Gehenna at the destruction at the hands of Babylon


Jesus said the same. Unfortunately the translators used the word hell. However the 1st century Jews would have known that Jesus was channeling Jeremiah and a worse destruction was to take place. It did in AD 70 at the destruction of Jerusalem.


Gehenna was hell for Jerusalem. Lots of 🔥.


Jeremiah declared that the temple became a den of thieves and that it would be made desolate like Shiloh.


Jesus said the same. In fact in the spirit of Jeremiah he whipped the temple, declared it was a den of thieves and it's own desolation. This time it was at the hands of the Romans and not Babylon.


Jesus did not talk about hell. He talked about Gehenna, the Valley of Tophet, GeHinnom.


He channeled Jeremiah.  And what He prophesied did occur.  Over 1.3 million Jews were burned and buried in Gehenna when fire was set to the temple mount and all of Jerusalem was burn.


This should help to understand what Christ was talking about.


This is something your pastor, your denomination, your apostle did not teach you.

Harpazo vs Rapture - Part 1

Image
Harpazo is different from rapture. Rapture is based on the notion that Christ comes with dead ones, picks up believers and makes a u turn and flies back up to heaven with unbelievers left behind.  It's helpful to consider Paul's word for "meeting" in this passage. It is the Greek word apantesis, which typically described the formal welcoming of a dignitary into a city. In other Greek literature, it was a term that described a great delegation that would travel to the outskirts of the city gates and beyond to receive the conquering king as he returned to the land." The Rapture counts for absurd eschatology.... And if you believe in the rapture guess who is taken? Not the righteous as you were taught but the wicked. Notice the disciples are asking "Where they were taken"... notice Christ's answer "wherever the dead bodies are for the vultures to consume" Luk 17:34 — Luk 17:37 I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the o...

Is Everything According to Gods Plan? Sovereign Will Part 1

Image
Questions: Why do we pray for God's will to be done if it is always done? What am I missing? Did he not know about it after all since the beginning? So if we deliberately don't do God's will, do we say, well he knew from the beginning that this will happen anyway? Why not? It's part of His Plan! There are many times God's will is not done. God's will, is and will always be done. Both statements are true? Do you agree or not? Answers: "Sovereign Will vs Permissive Will. God will permit us to do whatever we like, but eventually His Sovereign Will will be completed. Perfectly. No matter how well we play the game of Cosmic Chess against the Master of the Universe, He will win." - Andre van der Sandt "God's will is not done because man is flawed. Man makes wrong decisions sometimes when he uses his gift of free will. In which there is a lesson he will learn that will ultimately become God's will." - Ricky Diggs "His sovereign...

Narrow Gate vs Broad Way

Image
That quote also comes from Luke 13... the ENTIRE Chapter is the context.. We can't just pull one verse to form a doctrine. This is the quote.. "Then one said to Him, “Lord, are there few who are saved?” And He said to them, 24 “ Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able" The question is saved from what?  is this talking about "eternal salvation"? NO.   Again context. Please make note of the following in Luke 13 The people who asked Christ this had little or no knowledge of the issues and particulars of salvation as we know it today. They were immediately reacting to Christ spreading an interesting message as he was heading towards Jerusalem. What was Christ's message? Well it started with folks pointing out that the Galileans were the most unfortunate because they had Pilate mix their blood with their sacrifices. They concluded that God judged them.  Doesn't that sound familiar with all the...
