What Does the Bible Say About Hell? (Part 1 of 2)

- Do people really burn in hell? Part one of this two-part teaching reminds the listener that God is love and explains the choices of life or death. The Hebrew word gehenna is erroneously translated as “hell” in Scripture. The teaching dispels the theology that sinners burn forever in hell.
Verses: Josh.15:8; Ps. 37:10; Jer. 7:20; Mal. 4:1; Matt. 5:29; 10:28; John 3:16; Rom. 6:23; Rev. 20:14

There was a Pastor here locally who also figured this out, he studied the original languages and was an amazing teacher- however when he talked about there not being a Hell, he quickly lost his congregation. The church was called "Beersheba" and within a few months of his updated teachings he no longer had enough parishioners to stay open. I had in my mind questioned the existence of Hell since, but recently I prayed and asked the Lord to reveal to me the truth- and now here I am watching this video. I've never even seen any of your videos before, and this one came up in my "suggested videos" on the youtube homepage. Could be a coincidence as I do look up a lot of bible related videos, but I feel that I was lead here for a reason.
The eternal torment thing is hard to push out of your mind once it's been planted in your head, so unfortunately it still gets me all worried sometimes, but I keep praying to God asking him to show me the truth, that he IS love! And seeing videos like yours gives me hope. So thank you. I also am hoping to find a new church, because the one I'm at is obviously not right for me as it's taught those beliefs that torment me.
Well, you want the truth? Here's what God's own word says, in Revelation 21:8.
"But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death."
@@xbbt7770 that is talking about people who not believe in God, everyone who believe in God is Salve, so stop tormenting people who is a God's child
@@xbbt7770 Yes, it is the truth. But you probably don’t understand it, Do you know what “death” means in the Bible? It means you’re not immortal, and you will die permanently if you’re not found in Christ. “The soul who sins shall die” Ezekiel 18:20. It doesn’t say the soul that sins shall be eternally punished. Revelation 21:18 is talking about the future judgment, when the wicked are resurrected from the dead and punished temporarily. The lake of fire will have an “everlasting” effect in the sense that the wicked will never come back to life again and will cease to exist by that fire. That’s why it says second “death” because these people are going to literally DIE.
In order to understand it better, there are two resurrections that’s going to take place. The first one when Christ returns is the resurrection of the righteous, who will live forever and reign with Christ. The second resurrection is when the wicked come back to life and are sent to the lake of fire to experience suffering. See revelation 20:6, Daniel 2:12. But their final destiny is eternal death.
This made me scream at the sky; GOD YOU ARE THE LOVE OF MY LIFE 🙏🏽 he truely is good
Very clear concise teaching! I’ve believed this for 40 years of bible study; starting early in my christian walk, finding the teaching of eternal torment repulsive and totally unlike the nature of God, especially in Christ. So doing a serious thorough study of scripture on these words I came to the same conclusion. I have listened and read many other views, giving them the fair opportunity to prove it wrong, but they could never come close to disproving this. God deliver them from the traditional blinders they refuse to take off.
Amen
Amen brother for having the truth
After my father RIP taught me that hell means dirt or the grave I became so relieved
Thank you for this video...I am a young Christian who has been tormented with the hell teaching for years. I've always thought, "How do the sins most people commit during their lifetime warrant an eternity of burning?" and "why would a loving God keep people immortal just so they can burn?" and "how could I be happy in heaven knowing that billions of other people, including some that I know and love, are suffering?" For years I couldn't fully enjoy life,
This just goes to show you the importance of bible reading and studying. Don't believe anything that others teach you unless it lines up with God's word. I used to believe what I was taught about hell, that they LIVE there forever, then I READ THE BOOK. Let me tell you that Satan lied to Eve in the garden when he told her 'Thou shalt NOT surely die.' well meaning Christians still believe his lie till this day. The truth is that you WILL die without the savior. No one LIVES in Hell
@@pattygreen5229 And the entire point of Jesus dying on the cross is so that we can obtain immortality. The teaching that humans already have an “immortal soul” completely diminishes the point of Jesus dying for our sins.
This brings so much joy to me, finding this out has changed the way I view God now. I used to live in fear about Hell. And that is what happens with many people, they only accept Jesus because of the fear of Hell. How could that be? Then there is no true love. God is Love. So he can't force us to love him. But he allowed us to have free will, to make a choice.
This should enlighten everyone, their love for God should not be forced no longer, but it can now be genuine.
even though people do not LIVE in the hell fire, the consequence for sinners is STILL horrible. They will DIE forever with no chance of living ever again. That is sad. This is why Jesus wants us to share the good news of the gospel, so the curse of death can be lifted for so many.
Cole The VII True on that.
That belief of eternal hellfire actually puts a subconscious wall between you and God and it's very sad. They don't even realize that it's there. I'm glad you're getting the truth out.
Not really as It shows how Good,God is so loving to save us from it.
@@ay613 but then he puts you in it
Anyone with common sense knows that eternal torment is harsh and sadistic
Jesus said Repent or perish
He didn’t say Repent or you’ll burn in hell forever without end
Occasionally you meet someone who actually does understand scripture and worth listening to, you sir are one of them. Thank you.
Thanks so much for watching Pete!
💫 I have prayed for this answer. Thank you! I choose LIFE!!! 🙏
I wanna be with Jesus with all myHEART
Well said, It took me many months to find the truth about hell. To keep it short brothers and sisters. Christ died for us. He took our punishment. The punishment was death, Christ does not suffer anymore, he suffered at the cross, died and rose again. God bless you ❤️
I am so happy that the truth is finally being preached !!If they really want to discuss and debate this subject,invite some of the best Restorationist teachers into an open discussion.
Excellent summary with John 3:16. I think this resonates with all believers.
Thank you, so glad it blessed you!
God is a loving God..the doctrine of eternal torment is unbiblical, I agree with you.
What about in the bible where it talks about hell in Mark 9:48 that states: where 'their worm never dies, and the fire is never quenched.'
i explain you Brother: i am a German and i kno the original meaning of These Texts from the greek original Bible.... The word "Hell" Comes from the german word "Hölle", its a myth... originally the word for Hell must be "Gehenna"... Gehenna was the rubbish burning-place of the old Jerusalem City, they burned all the rubbish also dead bodies of criminals and other Things... sometimes These fires go out and the Things start to mold and then "Worms" come to eat all up until its compost.... the word in the old greek means not Worms but "maggots" and not "Worms dont die" but "maggots dont Metamorphose into fly", so Gehenna (the trash-place) has fires to burn and consume and if the fire goes out the maggots come to eat the Rests.... but if the maggots turn into fly they wont eat anymore and it will alll stink and begin mold.... so the "day of Gehenna" uses this trash-place as a Symbol: it will have fire that wont go out and maggots that dont Metamorphose until everybody who is wicked will be totally consumed and just ashes.... this text should Show us that there will be no escape, everybody who doesnt deserve life will be consumed and cant flee of it
soory i ment Sister :D
The fire is not quenched does not mean the people will be burning forever. It simply means what it says. The fire is not quenched! The only record of burning forever in hell that I have found is for three categories of persons: satan, the beast, and the false prophet (Revelation 20:10). If u look at the verse before (v9), the ordinary sinners were DEVOURED by fire. If they were for eternal hell, then, why were they DEVOURED & satan, beast, false prophet given a different judgement?
Just Jameka
Eternal Torment in Hell = False Doctrine
God's will not torture sinners !
He will punish them (eternal death).
Ezekiel 18:20
The soul that sinneth, it shall die.
Malachi 4:1,3
For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do [this], saith the LORD of hosts.
Ashes under the soles of your feet !
Not burn in hell for eternity.
The lake of fire will be here on earth.
Revelation 20:9
“And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.”
Hell = lake of fire
I guess people became fearful of hell due to the KJ translation
yes, because its contains very many mistakes of the german Gutenberg-Bibel of Martin Luther, its nearly a direct copy of it, as well as "Hell" coming from the german "Hölle" with Comes from old german and also celtic mythology
I guess we will ALL discover that God is both love and just, the Bible is true and hell is real....and that those who enter it do so with a one way ticket!!!
Rita G Yea I know man.
So good video! The word "hell" has caused so much misunderstanding and confusion, and should never have been used. Neither the word and concept according to the religious tradition is biblical. God is a good and just God.
The wages of sin is truly death, not eternal life in a mythological horror chamber in the underground.
Hell has been so much used to control people with fear. It's time to end this heresy once for all.
what about the rich man and lazarus. it says the rich man lifted up his eyes in torment... you know the rest
jms irrelevant. That's a parable, and it's about the intermediate state between death and the final judgement.
jms yes you right this guy know what he talking about. He like the J.W they also don't believe in He'll hell is real
Yeah.
The problem here is, that the people drawn to this video want to simply forget there's a hell, so they can [for now] feel a little less guilty about disobeying God.
jms what does it initially say about this story. It states it is a parable and an analogy to make a point to the religious leaders of that time. They had the riches or the truth but would not teach those spiritually hungry and spiritually dying. Also the word Hell is Hades in Greek meaning death and the grave.
What Yeshua was saying was in death those spiritually religious leaders are dead and have died in ignorance by preaching law instead of love and forgiveness and in death those who know God go to Abraham’s bosom which in Hebrew was referred to peace and comfort in death. Even the religious leaders descendants through Israel will not have the answers of eternal life because they believe in traditions of law and not love and forgiveness. Remember this John 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
Thats a parable about gentiles entering the covenant.
Exactly LIFE is a GIFT you either except it of refuse it.
God is love
Amen! You are so right. John 3:16 tells the whole story. My view is that man will destroy himself.
If hell isn't real what happens to the wicked. Rapist. Murderers. Those who accept the mark of the beast. Not everyone follows JESUS Do wicked people share heaven with the righteous or pure?.Please help me with this question thanks
Linda Johnson no not everyone goes to heaven
Sin cannot and will not be allowed into heaven for this reason there is punishment for the ungodly
What a great pleasure that you've share this with us, brother.
God bless you sincerely!! ;)
Also what about the different degrees of punishment the bible speaks of? If the same punishment is for all then how come the bible says that it will be worse for some.
I think it means some will stay alive longer/suffer longer before actually dying. Probably depends on severity of your sins or how much suffering a person caused another determines if one just dies almost instantly like a sprinkling of salt perhaps seconds of pain to others longer suffering perhaps minutes before they die or possibly longer ...thats my thoughts
Length of pain, suffering, burning in the lake of fire before perishing
I'm so glad to see this in the public. I got into a horrible conversation with a true college professor athesist regarding God's love.
The word Hell is english for the greek word Hades, Hades is the translation for the Hebrew word "Sheol" which means "the common grave"
Great teaching the word thanks 🙏
Wow, very controversial topic. I would love to debate this out. I really want to think there is not an eternal hell. But, the scripture is very clear that there is. It is also very clear that sinners will pay for their sins against God. I am online searching to see if the punishment is for eternity, or just Hell
Hell is a eternal lake of fire but once unbelievers are cast there they perish, God doesn't grant the damned eternal life the bible is clear on this truth
Thank you for this, I started to question hell teaching some years ago, I found that ministers don’t like to talk about it and shut me down but I would go away feeling frustrated and eventually the burning questions would start up again. I’ve been threatened with hell by believers who have accused me of being a heretic. I am convinced that believers have their heads buried in the sand and can’t cope with the question, “ can a loving God do this to those He has created” its like a confusion tinted with rage rises up to the surface. Our God is a just God and vengeance is His and He will deal with the wicked one day and each one that will stand before Him and give an account and will have to face His wrath and their reward will be death, destruction, will be no more. Just a thought to add here, if each will be judged after the 2nd resurrection then why would the lord have people burning in fire now before being judged? That would make Him unjust wouldn’t it? Sorry it’s a long reply.
Nice explanations my dear bro💖.now I know more enough of this scripture about burning in hell
the love of Christ is plainly seen in this teaching. God bless you Pastor
Thank you so much. I am a christian. And i read the bible but i wasnt sure where to look for a definitive answer as to the burning eternally belief of so many christians. I knew that my Lord would not torture his children forever. And i understood death to be the price of failing to accept Jesus because that equals denying God. Its a choice like you said. Thank you for showing me the chapters and verses. God bless you. In Jesus precious name.
What about this one?
Matthew 25:46 - And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
Translated from Greek kolasin aionion an aeon of punishment. An Aeon being an undetermined amount of time.
if These People (the wicked) burn away and die, this Status they have afterwards is everlasting.... if you burn anything like paper, its gone, and never back again, it burned away for ever and ever, but the burning process is not for ever
but our fires on earth can go out, or can be blown out.... everlasting fire cant go out, its origin is from God, so if you once burn, you wont go out until there is just ashes left.... so not the burning is eternal, but the origin of the fire and the result of it (death for ever, no resurection ever again).... thats what the original bible means all the time
Butuzucki cannot disagree here
The punishment is eternal not the punishing. A few seconds burning in consuming fire leads to eternal death.
Excellent message brother I commend you God bless you
Clear and simple teaching by John Schoenheit.
I believed in the traditional hell doctrine for many years. Now and then I have had hard to accept it but I was convinced that the bible clearly support it. It was a great awakening when I understood what the bible really says in this matter. So many times I had read the bible verses who opposed hell doctrine in the belief they confirmed it!
This because I interpreted the scripture through the theological eyeglasses I used. I realize that one main factor to that so many christians have been deceived is the use of the word "hell". Like John says in this video: the word "hell" should never have been in the bible at all!
Hades, Sheol, Gehenna and Tartarus; all these words have in various bible translations been replaced with "hell". So confusing and misleading: all these are not the same thing!
So important for us to know what the bible really says. There are so many books written, and testimonies at UA-cam, were people tell that they went to hell and saw demons torturing people down there. But we must not trust on peoples dreams or visions. If we know that the bible in a lot of verses describes death as an unconcious sleep we can reject stories that the soul continue to live under torment after death. There is nothing in the bible that supports the belief of a kind of hell in the inner of the earth. But we can find it in greek mythology, and the fairy tale Dante's inferno. The hell doctrine is a pagan myth and has nothing to do with the gospel!
I am so exalted over the truth, what a relief: God shall destroy the sin and the sinners, not immortalise them!
read my text above, please my friend
What about Genesis 1:27 which says "God made man to his own image". If God has an everlasting spirit, does not we have one aswell?
But God can destroy the soul, you aren’t searching deep enough the Bible holds the truth
Theres no such place as hell.
Eternal destruction means to be put to death and never brought back to life.
Wages sin pays is death.
Read that here in *context*
kcuf7
Thank him indeed. He is a Just and merciful God and will not sit there and watch people burn alive for eternity, no matter their sins.
+orionoxjpx I imagine Jesus feels great sadness for those that choose to perish forever.
I'm curious as to how you have come to this conclusion?
good video man let us all live in the light
hello I am a non religious person what bible do you recommend I read to attempt to avoid translation errors (I'm usually the only one anywhere defending religion however I struggle with being a part of it)
Definitely not KJV they are changing it (Mandela Effect). ESV I would recommend. Blessings.
Joseph Boustany one that is word for word translation such as ESV or NASB KJV
Joseph Boustany NET, New English Translation Bible.
ISR The Scriptures
Thank you for speaking against the false teaching that so many people are feed as truth.I've tried to do this in my three books. These things should be said yet most will remain deceived until the Messiah returns and brings liberation from all that is false.
I"m convinced (from my previous eternal hell belief) to your position. Thanks for bringing Scripture to prove your position.
TruthOrTradition would you mind reading Matthew 25:44-46
44Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungered, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
now how would you explain this?
is hell exist why didn't tell adam he will go there when he sins
John does a very fine job of debunking this false doctrine that did the become a pillar of Church doctrine until about 5 centuries, that's 500 years after the time of Christ. So, it wasn't taught by Jesus or his apostles.
Good for you being open minded enough. I'm in a similar position.
Thank you for this pretty good video. I am getting more sure that I will not go to hell which has been a fear of mine. Prayer is everything and reading. AMen.
even if you don't burn forever it's still a horrific end compared to glory. so it's not a cause of relief!
Could you explain Isaiah 33:14, please? I've looked at many different translations of that verse but all of them say "everlasting burning/burnings"
what do you think about bill wiese 23 minutes in hell? Was it just a nightmare he had?
(cont.) and worried all the time about hell. I'd cry at night and feel sick to my stomach thinking about so many humans suffering like that. The church I've been going to didn't help either because they seem to support the eternal torment belief. But it's true, no loving God could really just let people suffer. And it's not just the people in hell, but people like me too who suffer because of such a belief. So lately I've been reading the bible a lot and doing research about this.
This is what the Bible says about hell:
Why is eternal torment allowed to be believed by the Church as a whole? Because it is closer to the truth than Annihilation. But the truth is; All will be saved (through Christ) "Yet; so as; by fire.
Hey John. Is it common among people who holds an open view of God to reject the idea of an eternal hell? I know that Greg Boyd is an annihilationist.
ApologiaGuy I'm probably an annihilationist. I am still Christian.
ApologiaGuy We are a living soul and when we die we are a dead soul. the soul which is our will, mind, emotions or our personality sleeps till the second resurrection.
well i have always believe the devil gave us the image, vision, version of hell to promote a works salvation, plain and simple.
Can I ask you a question? You said that the wicked will be thrown into the Lake of Fire. And, will be destroyed. You said that people won't burn forever. But, do you think they will burn (and feel the pain of fire) till they DIE in the flames (during the "second death")? Or, do you think that people will just be destroyed, but NOT feel the torment of the flames burning them up to the point where they destroyed (and no longer existing)? Just curious.
Great video. The argument that many would bring up to counter what you said is that "well, they chose to go to hell." That is a reasonable defense. However, there is some sticky problems with that. We were born with free-will, what if we don't want to live for all eternity? We did not choose to be born. For people that don't want to live eternally they were placed on this earth with God knowing that they didn't want to live forever and knowing that they would deny Christ while still throwing them in hell. That sounds like the person was made just to be thrown in a prison cell. God is Life and He sets us free from darkness. This is an unfair scenario. A person with the ideals that I just expressed.
There is another question that is important. "What if I don't/can't want to worship a God that would treat evildoers with such a heavy hand?" This was my case. I turned away from Christianity when I was 10 years old! It was for that reason alone. I refused to believe in Jesus Christ, it's not because my heart was hardened, I just didn't want to know or be involved with a God that is so unfair and wrong to treat the wicked in such a way. I actually wanted to know Jesus but the Scriptures turned me off. Deep down I knew that this wasn't the fate of the wicked.
God has since made a powerful intervention on me and actually brought me to hell. He has shown me - and told me - very clearly that it is death. His word testifies such as well. I know this to be true as I know the voice of God and He ministers to me when I read His Word.
+consumedbyfire13 Yes you are given free will but it is ultimately the will of God that you be one with him and if you choose you do not love the holy spirit then there is no place for you in Heaven and that place is Hell where you perish forever.
"Love me..or go to hell" ..is not the gospel. If one were to remove the threat of hell from the Christian construct..99% of congregation would vacate the church.
We are not "saved" from hell, but saved from ourselves & the hopelessness of our fallen state. This guy is right-on.
Christian....Are you really born again...or just "pre-conceived"??
I'm Baptist, I do not believe at all in ECT. Use to.. but not now....Thank you Lord.
Thanks for sharing this !!!
Is there a translation of the Bible that is available that does not use the word Hell? I want to get a copy if there is. Thank you!!!
I'm an atheist, but this is nice. People who preach God as "all loving" followed by "eternal agony and suffering" is absolutely ludicrous, beyond words. How so many people righteously defend eternal hell for, lets say children born into the wrong culture, is absurd beyond comprehension. People, sincerely, believe it is deserved justice, somehow. Sorry for the long rant... A belief in God is great, it's just unbelievable how so many people can mindlessly justify something unjustifiable...
- trumped later by the verse "Behold, I make all things new, the former things have passed away" - it all ends afterward.
I dont know what hell looks like, if its burning, hopelessness or as you say, but the thing i know is that hell is the least place any person wants to come to.. thats what i say to people if they ask me too, its not important to dwell on how ''hell'' looks like, because its really bad, its eternal separation from God, eternal death! Which we ought to preach the Lord Jesus Christ so that they can be saved..
God so loved the world; got it. what do i do with 1 John 2:15? i'm told here that i'd better not love the world
+Kevin S. Dont love the world as in this physical reality of material things over Jesus.
Our first death was when adam and eve sinned against God. That is when death and diseases amoung other things entered this life. But because of salvation we are "born again" . There is hope. We can have everlasting peace in the kingdom of heaven. Second death is hell. An everlasting hell. But because of Jesus Christ dying on the cross to forgive our sins we can ask forgiveness and give our life to him. We can rest peace assured that are name is written in the book of life.
I dont believe its forever the bible calls the lake of fire the second death
*Hell shouldn't be in the bible!!!!!!!??????????????????!!!!!!!!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?*
i would like to thank you for youre teaching i have just started to believe but the one reason why i havent before is because i falsly believed if you sin you went to hell so i thought it was to late for me and that the judgement has been made so i thank you for setting me strait and god bless
How do we translate the term "everlasting contempt" in Daniel 12:3?
Thank you sir, very informative video!
what about that verse in Revelation that says they will be tormented forever and ever??
steve mcdonald it means tested for an age in Greek concordance.
Hey David!
Isaiah 45:7 is often quoted by some who try to prove that God is “in control” of everything that happens and that He is the cause of all good and evil. The problem with this line of thinking is that it produces many contradictions that cannot be explained.
We do not believe this verse indicates that God is the cause of ALL prosperity or disaster. It merely says that there are times, such as when it fits with His plans and purposes, that he “brings prosperity and disaster.”
-Truth
I think youtube cut me off for using the four letter word we are using in the correct context too much. But I digress... Please refer to Luke 12:59. Please share your thoughts.
Wellsaid brother. There are many passages wich teach that the wages of sin is death. Even in Job we find that the wicked will "be no more". Scripture teaches the wicked are consumed, perish (die), die, and will be no more. The teaching of eternal torment is one of the greates apostacies and it is put forth by those who reject scripture in lieu of their prideful preconception.
Great presentation. Only, I would say the first death is the death of the body, and the second is the *annihilation (not to be confused with death) of the soul. No soul has been wiped off the face of existence, not until Death and Hades is cast into the Lake of Fire. But is it even a fire? Many times in the Bible "fire" is a synonym for trials.
TO BE ABSENT FROM THE BODY IS TO BE PRESENT WITH THE LORD
"Then they will go away to eternal punishment." Notice it´s punish-ment, not punish-ing. The punishment is nonexistence, and its eternal, i.e., irreversible.
If eternal soul is a myth, then please explain Ecclesiastes 3-11. "God has set eternity in man's heart."
I'm not even sure how that verse points to an eternal soul.
Do you have a video on the name of Jesus or Yashuwa so many have different opinions on it I am a baby Christian I just want to understand better thank you
I have a question regarding hell and its eternity. Can hell and heaven be considered to exist in the same dimension? Is there any references in the bible that mentions how long people will burn in Hell?
Dear Sir, what about the reve where it talks about the beast and the false profit being thrown into the lake of fire for ever. What you are teaching is that if one commits a sin and dies, that they will face the fires of hell and then that's is it. That is false.......

I like this video. My question is, we choose between knowing Jesus and not choosing Jesus, what then for the people that have not heard of him?
Romans 1:20.
I think the idea of hell is abhorrent. However, how would you explain the countless "near death experiences" of people who clinically died and experienced hell? 🙏
i have heard what u said sir, but how about the case of lazarus and the rich man? also, the part that says ' gnashing and wailing day and night? ' plz enlighten me,thanks.
There is a book just for that. The title is " The Rich man and Lazurus" by E.W Bullinger. You can purchase it from Amazon.com. But just so you know, Jesus was telling a parable. It was not literal. If the meaning of a parable can be known literally without thinking about it, then the disciples would not be asking Him to explain the meaning.
Do you have biblical evidence to support your case that,it is not a parable?
What you are saying is just not good argument. Nothing in the story gives evidence that it is not a parable. But let's assume that I agree with your reasoning, then let me also ask you these few questions: How can a drop of water cool the tongue of someone who is being tortured for all eternity? And If the story is not a parable, don't you think Jesus is either lying or contracdicting himself when he said even if someone returned from the dead, people will not believe? Has God changed his mind then and sending dead people to tell us that there is hell?
Dr. Ernest L Martin(1932-2002) gave a plausible interpretation of the parable. Lazarus is the Greek version of Abraham's servant Eliezer whom he sent to find a wife for his son Isaac if you remember the story in Genesis. The rich man is one of the sons of Jacob and his brothers. I can't explain the whole parable here but I hope you get the point.
***** The rich man and Lazarus is indeed a parable. Let me quote a well known theologian (NT Wright) on this subject as he has a very convincing arguement on why it is a parable. "The story carries clear echoes of well-known folk tales, to which Jesus is giving a fresh and startling twist. The emphasis falls at the same point that was made twice - i.e., with great stress - in the prodigal son: 'resurrection', i.e. 'return from exile', is happening all around, and the Pharisees cannot see it.
"The parable is not, as often supposed, a description of the afterlife, warning people to be sure of their ultimate destination. If that were its point, it would not be a parable: a story about someone getting lost in London would not be a parable if addressed to people attempting to find their way through that city without a map. We have perhaps been misled, not for the first time, by the too-ready assumption, in the teeth of the evidence, that Jesus 'must really' have been primarily concerned to teach people 'how to go to heaven after death'. The reality is uncomfortably different.
"The welcome of Lazarus by Abraham evokes the welcome of the prodigal by the father, and with much the same point. The heavenly reality, in which the poor and outcast would be welcomed into Abraham's bosom (as everyone would know from the folk-tale), was coming true in flesh and blood as Jesus welcomed the outcasts, just as the father's welcome to the returning son was a story about what Jesus was actually doing then and there. The theme of 'rich and poor', not unimportant in Luke, is here thrown into stark prominence, as recent studies have stressed. But the point of this, when the story is seen as a traditional tale with a new ending, was not so much what would happen to both in the end, nor yet simply a statement on the abstract 'ethical' issue of wealth and poverty, but rather what was happening to both rich and poor in the present time. Jesus' welcome of the poor and outcast was a sign that the real return from exile, the new age, the 'resurrection', was coming into being; and if the new age was dawning, those who wanted to belong to it would (as in Deuteronomy and Jeremiah) have to repent. The story points up the true significance of what Jesus was doing, and the urgent need of those who were at present grumbling to recognize this significance. The five brothers at home correspond quite closely to the older brother in the prodigal son. 'Resurrection' is happening, but they cannot see it. The story takes for granted that the poor and outcast were rightly being welcomed into the kingdom, and it turns the spotlight on to the rich, the Pharisees, the grumblers: they, too, now needed to repent if they were to inherit the new day that would shortly dawn. They were refused the extra revelation of someone ongoing to them from the dead; the message of repentance was clear enough in Moses and the prophets.
"The parable is therefore further strong evidence that 'repentance', in the senses already discussed, formed a central element in Jesus' proclamation. The basic story he was telling invited his hearers to see themselves as the true Israel, returning at last from exile, and turning back to their god as an essential part of the process."

What about Angelica Zambrano's testimony that she had seen Heaven and Hell? Please answer this I'm confused :( Thank you God Bless
What about hell? and the Near death experiences?
Mrcheekymonkey1996
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
Hebrews 9:27
Faith is powerful including faith that is negative. In some African areas they can resurrect dead people through witchcraft and black magic. They have an empty shell of a human body that moves around but has no soul or personality.
If a person is thought to believe there is a heaven or punishing hell and when they die if it is not their appointed time the last thing their unregenerated mind believes as truth is whatever’s they were taught or programmed to believe so they see angels or demons etc... their spirit returns to their body and then whatever their mind has perceived as truth becomes a big story that they saw angels or demons etc...
What about these life after death experiences?..people seen people burning and tormented in hell,,and came back from death to tell about it?
I believe in Hell. I believe it is a real place. I initially got saved partly because I was afraid to go to Hell. Some years later as the Holy Spirit began to transform my heart and as I began to find out more and more about God and about Jesus and what all He sacrificed for me. My love for Him began to grow and still is growing stronger and stronger. I can honestly say that my greatest fear is not going to Hell for all eternity, but my greatest fear is being separated from God for all eternity. Yes. I believe in Hell. Yes. i beleive in Heaven. No. I dont beleive that the the Issue of Hell is what keeps a person from wanting to know God. He either calls us And opens our eyes to know the truth or He doesnt. We either answer or we dont. If we dont accept Jesus, regardless of what you believe will or will not happen, One thing is for sure. There will be consequences. Just obey God.
While most Christians say it's our nature that makes 'eternal torment' true. It's really God's nature that makes it false. Also "eternal destruction" is false.
Our souls are eternal.. This means eternal afterlife whether it be Death(separation from God) or Life(Always with God)
+pachecokig100 "the soul that sinneth ;it will die" The 'soul' is not eternal. The soul is mistakenly represented by most as being separate from the body. This belief is false; it is 'us'; not a fog of energy that is separate. The "soul" is us in an animated state.
the spiritual or immaterial part of a human being or animal, regarded as immortal.
I just saw a video that a man stated his visit to Hell. I felt this was to frighten or was given by the wicked. Thank you. But what does the Bible mean about walking Jesus through Hades. Can you explain ?
elderly poodle
In Greek Hades is death, grave. Yeshua Messsiah experienced death, grave for three days then resurrected. When it states He led captivity captive. It means through His resurrection he conquered the final enemy or foe which was death by triumphing over it.
let me ask u a question now this is extremely off topic but i wanna ask u this bcuz u woke me up on realizing that the bible is much different than wat people say about God. does God really suply your spouse? or do u have to go find someone on your own?
ok so when somebody dies does that mean that the person was punished by god because of sin how come innocent people die good people and children even true followers of god die young
Great explanation. Thank you
Thank you for speaking out against such a terrible false doctrine (eternal torture is NOT a reality)
what about this- And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever." revelations 20:10 ?
idk if im right or not im only 11 turning 12
Hell is from the German "Hölle" it means cave (Höhle).... i am german so i know it.... When Martin Luther transscripted the Bible into German, he made some mistakes and he translated Gehenna, Hades, Sheol all with the word "Hölle"
The KJV Bible is a word for word copy of the first Martin Luther Bible (the german "Gutenberg-Bibel"), so it contains all his Translation mistakes, also the Hell myth... so go back into the original languages of the Bible: Hebrew and Greek, than you will find that there is no Hell at all
"But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death."
Revelation 21:8. Does it get any clearer than that?
love your video
What about all the visit to hell testimonys.. so many people with so many similarities in story's.. ???
