In this forum, you will get ridiculed and laughed at... and whatever message you are trying to convey will be lost in "eye-rolling" smileys.
I think people like you need this. Running away from night fall does not chase away the night. You know people prefer to be fed with trash than be told the truth. Have a nice meal of Gods truth

If you think avoiding hell is the proper motivation for serving God then you are still in hell

"The ministry of health warns that tobacco smookers are likely to die young" Is a reality and some one ignores the warning and goes ahead to smoke away his life to death like a chimney.

Then Some one would come and say why would a kind, loving God permit such a young man to die. guys God is without doubt loving but he is also a God of justice. The soul that sinneth shall surely die.

Dont toss this truth away. I would rather take heed now and after my death, discover that there is no hell than to live like an intelligent fool only after my death to discover that hell is real and I came unprepared.

Nice witnessing, rather arrogant and presumptuous to assume you know the truth.
There are thousands of gods that are worshipped on the planet. Assuming there is a god, it is just as likely to be Thor and if you don't start worshipping Thor and abandon your belief in Yahweh then you'll be tortured in fire for eternity. What makes your 'god' so special-super strength. Convenient that 'god' doesn't have to provide a single peice of evidence to support their existence, someone just has to have faith they exist and blindly obey their stern command.

I'm not agnostic...but neither am I Christian. I always find it interesting (if not actually amusing) that one particular religion condemns everyone else to hell if their precepts aren't adopted. Have to agree with Agnostic Soldier; there are other gods being worshipped, and it's both arrogant and presumptuous to declare that "yours" is "right" to the exclusion of all the others.

You dont sound like you want to know...On your death bed you will remember all you have read and heard............ Then, you will be able to compare notes with what you now believe ........ that is if you believe in any thing at all. a LOT OF PEOPLE JUST PASS TO THE NEXT LIFE WITHOUT THINKING FOR ONE DAY ABOUT WHAT lies ahead
hmmmmmmmmm

How long have people been saying "the end is near"? You'd think they'd get tired of it.

"Dear brothers and sisters, I just came to realize

I looked at the Lord, He told me: "Hold on to

what you have seen, and do not forget it".

I was looking at the hell, and people were

screaming "Ouch! Ouch! It's for ever! it's for ever!

Pain and hatred for ever and ever."

I turned toward the Lord and asked Him: "Is

there anyone from my family in this hell?" He

answered me "I will not allow you to see a

member of your family". I asked Him again: "Lord is there anyone that I know here?" "Yes",

said the Lord and I will allow you to see him. Suddenly I saw a young man coming from the

depths of the hell: It was Alexander.

I knew this young man at a crusade my husband and I attended in Dominica Republic. During

that crusade, I heard a voice saying to me, "Get up, go and meet Alexander who is passing by.

Tell him not to reject this message, for I'm giving him a last chance". This voice was the voice

of the Lord even though I did not see Him. I told Alexander what the Lord told me. This is how

he responded: "You Christians are all fools. You deceive people by telling them that Jesus Christ

is coming, I, Alexander, do not believe this to be the truth". I told him: "Alexander, God gives

live and takes it away when he wants; Alexander, you will soon die. He answered: "I am too

young to die, I still have many good years of festivities on this earth."

This chance was well and truly the last for Alexander. Dear reader, what do you know about

yourself?

Three weeks later, Alexander died while he was drunk. His destination was this place of

torment where I saw him (hell). The Bible states clearly that drunker will not inherit the

kingdom of God (Galatians 5: 21).

When looking at people in hell, I could see Alexander attacked by two big worms. He was

screaming "Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!" He was tormented. He recognized me and told me: "I

neglected my last chance. I am here today, suffering. Please, when you return to earth, go to my

house and tell my family to believe in Jesus Christ and to obey His word, so that they will not

come to this place of torment."

Read the rest of the story in here.
Wow. I find this very disturbing. JesusisTruth, I think you need to avoid focusing on topics like this too much. Think more about salvation and eternal life in Heaven, not everlasting torment in Hell and the Devil, etc.
