Does God send people to Hell? (@Cosmicskeptic vs @Inspiringphilosophy)

 Once upon a time, an "atheist" interviewed a semi-Universalist.

Check out this conversational debate between "The Cosmic Skeptic", Alex O'Conner and "Inspiring Philosophy's Michael Jones.  On this video, I'll analyze two worldviews -  one that insists that God hasn't communicated Himself enough to humanity, and the other that says that there may be a chance for the damned to be redeemed from Hell.  

I mean, I think that's what he's saying!

The doctrine of Hell is perhaps one of the biggest doctrinal debates in Christianity and religion as a whole.  It's a good thing to consider whether there's going to be a Hell - I believe there will be a Hell regardless of whether it's in unbearable consciousness or REAL fire!   

When you consider the Words of The Lord Jesus Christ, I don't think the weight of his emphasis on Hell is anything to take lightly - that's for sure!

"Does God send people to Hell?"... "Do people send people to Hell?", 

"Is there a Hell?", and "what the Hell is Hell???" .... All massive and interesting questions to be asking.

Wanna continue the conversation? ... Hit me up, and let's talk about it.  :)

1946 (The Movie)

 The Beast system is seen more in this area than anywhere else.  It's got people locked and incarcerated to false identities, and imprisoned in the futility of self-imposed deception.  But the light of Christ shines in the darkest places to save and lift up, and re-establish people to who God has truly called them to be.  Despite the lies of the world, Christ is still healing and saving.  

"1946" is a soon to be released movie (and possibly a book) that'll try and capture more minds into deception by attempting to attack The Word of God.  Despite the efforts of the world, this production will be just as flawed and as desperate as Dan Brown's fictional book trying to claim the origins of Christianity at the Council of Nicaea. 

"1946" will attempt to claim that there was a dishonest political plot constructed by conservative evangelicals in the origin and use of the word, "Homosexual" in one of the English translations of the Bible.

Dr. James White is a New Testament critical text scholar, professor and Christian apologist and he blows this "1946" nonsense right out of the water:

"You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies." -- John 8:44

Jesus said, "Look up, your redemption is coming"!

What did He mean by that?  There are those who (for some odd reason) hate talking about a Pre-Tribulation rapture of the church.  It's become very trendy (and you know Christians love their trends) to argue against a Pre-Trib. Rapture!   :)

But The Lord, in Scripture, gives us a language of expectation.  He wanted us to be on the look out for Him while we go about doing our Father's work.  He said we should be observing the times.     

But many will say, "Why didn't He come in the first century or during WW2... many people at that time thought it was the end time too"!  

Absolutely, but the Bible also states, "We're closer now than when we first believed".  

I don't believe The Lord wanted us to be  UN- EXPECTANT or indifferent concerning His coming.    In fact, it's impossible to be indifferent with what we're seeing today going on in the world.    The progression of evil, pain and suffering is for OUR LIFETIME, supposed to lead us to acknowledge the hope that we live for.    I believe THIS is the language of the scriptures.    Not to set dates.... but to stand firm, and "..LOVE HIS APPEARING".  

Not to have that or walk in that perspective is to diminish ones hope that He placed upon our hearts to begin with.  I believe it comes with the territory of knowing Christ in ones life.    

So while evangelicals might be still embarrassed about those "left behind" movies,  we shouldn't be embarrassed about The Lord's instruction to keep watch for His coming.  I believe, there are a few parables that lead us in that direction also.  

The darker it gets out there, the brighter it should be in our hearts. 

I once thought to myself that there are about 3 distinct and generalized signs of the last days that The Lord gave us, and in which we should be observing before His appearing:    

#1- The persecution of true believers
#2- Cataclysmic changes in/on and around the earth
#3- Deception of all sorts:  Religions, doctrine, false teaching, false Christianity, etc. 

All of that has been manifesting more and more every day.   Our children no longer know The Lord, and there's no fear of God in their hearts.   And that is the evidence of God's judgment upon us.   Now all there's left is to pray for our nation, for mercy from Heaven, and say, God's will be done.    And with that, carry on with our mission to continue evangelizing and sharing the Gospel of hope of God's salvation, and of His appearing.    

God bless.
