Jesus Did
Not Believe In Hell!
In my new
book Hell? No!, I lay out dozens of solid reasons to prove, once and for all,
that Hell cannot possibly exist. But of all the points I make, the one that seems to be
the most striking is the fact that Jesus himself did not believe in Hell's existence.
Or is it
really so surprising?
There's a
good reason why more and more Evangelical ministers are no longer preaching "Hell
fire and brimstone" but are, instead, referring to it as a mere "separation from
God," as if the fiery flames were a good metaphor for the kind of feelings pining
teens go through after a break up with a boy friend or girl friend! No, on some level,
they know very well that Jesus' original, core message--that God is loving, caring and
forgiving--is completely incompatible with the idea that the same God plans to
torture billions of people eternally.
However, if
one is willing to look, there's a ton of evidence contained in the gospels to
show that Jesus opposed the idea of Hell! Here's just one example: In Luke 9:51-56,
there's a story about his great disappointment with his disciples when they actually
suggested imploring God to rain fire on a small village of people just because
they had rejected him. His response: "You don't know what spirit is inspiring this
kind of talk!" Presumably, it was not the Holy Spirit. He went on, trying to
explain how he had come to save, heal and relieve suffering, not be the cause of
it.
It only
stands to reason, then, that this same Jesus, who was completely appalled at the very idea
of burning a few people, for a few horrific minutes until they were dead, could never,
ever burn billions of people for an eternity!
So,
are you one of the millions of people who suffers from the fear that, maybe, just maybe,
there is a Hell?
Have
you been taken advantage of by preachers and/or extreme political organizations who used
your uncertainty about how God might just want to cause you pain in the next life...for
their own gain?
Or,
even if you're an atheist, wouldn't you like to have some very clear and concise ideas
that you can have on hand to help out friends and acquaintances who are clearly suffering
from the abuses that all too typically follow this horrific belief?
Then
wait no longer! You can be rid of needless stress, unfounded worries for loved ones and,
not to mention, a huge obstacle standing in the way of understanding God the way Jesus
originally tried to communicate.

in Hell?
I
literally spent decades figuring out where the belief in Hell really came from, why it's
impossible for Hell to exist, and also why anyone who wants to follow what Jesus really
said to do needs to begin by tossing out this man-made doctrine.
I'm
not exaggerating. You really and truly can be certain, there's no such place as
Hell! |
