Why do so many Christians preach this false doctrine?

Question

So many claim that Hell is the grave.
WRONG!
It is indeed a place of eternal suffering for sinners!
Matthew 16:24-"...for I am tormented in this flame!"
Preachers of the "grave" doctrine may find themselves
in Hell with other blasphemers!
God Bless!

Answer 1

HELL IN KJV
One Hebrew word “sheol” is rendered hell. Definition; hades or the world of the dead (as if a subterranian retreat), grave, hell, pit. Three Greek words are rendered hell; geenna, hades, and tartaroo. Definition of geenna; a valley of Jerusalem, used (figuratively) as a name for the place (or state) of everlasting punishment: - hell. Definition of hades; properly unseen, that is, “Hades” or the place (state) of departed souls: - grave, hell. Definition of tartaroo; (the deepest abyss of Hades); to incarcerate in eternal torment: - cast down to hell. Tartaroo is used only one place II Pet.2:4.
Christ teaching the Pharisees in Luke 16:19-31 shows us a separation from God is truly what hell is. The “water” is symbolic for God’s Spirit and love. The word “tormented” means distressed in the Greek, not torture. The “fire” is symbolic for the shame and desire not to be separated from God.
So all who die the first death of the flesh return to God Ecc.12:6-7, but on which side of the gulf do they end up?
Hell is not eternal but is done away with in Rev.20:14-15, called both the second death and lake of fire. This second death is non-existence, for death and hell and those not written in the book of life. This second death or lake of fire is like fat drippings that fall into the fire. Just a poof of smoke into non-existence.
Psa.37:20 But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.
In my mind what’s worse yet is no memory of you, no tears will be shed for you like you never existed.
Rev.21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
So hell is a separation from God and is not eternal torture or burning. Eventually hell will be done away with or passed away and also some souls. Like fat drippings in the fire, a poof of smoke into non-existence, the second death.

Answer 2

Concur, some teach man centered religion and its amazing how many preachers don't believe all of the bible. They dont preach on sin, accountability dont do alter calls and preach salvation, its a sin. The face of the modern church with its praise music, some of which has no doctrinal qualities at all, only one Sunday morning services are a product of a secular society and amount to little more than a social club.
It's a shame that some good Christians wind up in these churches because they are so comfortable and wind up stagnating or not growing spiritually because there lucky if there being fed Milk there.

Answer 3

There are three words for hell found in the Bible and they are Sheol and Hades and these both mean the world of dead or the grave and the word Genna which means a burning garbage dump. Genna is the concept of burning with sulfur and fire or the Lake of Fire described in Revelation. On judgement day those whose names are not found in the Lambs Book of Life will be cast into the Lake of Fire--the place that God originally designed for satan and a third of the angels that fell from heaven.

Answer 4

Well, everybody has a right to be wrong.

I noticed that entire websites were committed to attempting to convince people that hell as we think it is does not exist. I find that it's partly wishful thinking, and the other part is poor scholarship. Hell does indeed exist. And all one has to do is get a couple of commentaries and discover that it does exist. And there is quite a bit in the Bible to support the Jewish religion supporting it. So there is a definite trend towards the typical voice of Satan tainting the truth with a lie.

Answer 5

Most christics are better off believing in hell. Most were probably horable beings with no morales or ethics. Did your all knowing god create hell first or after man. Either way your god deserves no honor. THE ONLY GOOD CHRISTIANITY HAS EVER DONE IS MAKE SOME BAD PEOPLE GOOD-- AS ALWAYS Every coin has two sides ( see branch davidians-jim jones )

Answer 6

in case you examine your reproduction of the Bible you will study that there isn't any place the place the lifeless are tormented. The words translated Hell (Hebrew 'Sheol" and Greek 'Hades'" the two only symbolize the grave. (Ezekiel 18:4) . . .look! all the souls—to me they belong. because of the fact the soul of the daddy so likewise the soul of the son—to me they belong. The soul it is sinning—it itself will die. (Ecclesiastes 9:5-6) . . .For the residing are unsleeping that they are going to die; yet as for the lifeless, they are unsleeping of not something in any respect, neither do they anymore have wages, because of the fact the remembrance of them has been forgotten. 6 additionally, their love and their hate and their jealousy have already perished, and that they have not got any element anymore to time indefinite in something that ought to be completed under the sunlight. . . (Ecclesiastes 9:10) . . .All that your hand reveals to do, do alongside with your very potential, for there isn't any artwork nor devising nor wisdom nor wisdom in She?ol, the placement to which you're going. . . (Ecclesiastes 3:19-20) . . .For there is an eventuality as respects the sons of mankind and an eventuality as respects the beast, and that they have the comparable eventuality. because of the fact the only dies, so the different dies; and that all of them have yet one spirit, so as that there isn't any superiority of the guy over the beast, for each thing is conceitedness. 20 All are going to a minimum of one place. they have all become from the dirt, and that they are all returning to the dirt.

Answer 7

There are people who cannot conceive of a G-d who would send people to such a place. There is a tendency for peoples theology to follow their philosophy of life and there you have the rub. It is good for us to confront error in theology, however we must make sure that we always present the truth in Love, because Love covers a multitude of our sins (yours and mine).

Answer 8

Doesn't matter. You can escape the fiery hell BY NOT BEING BORN! If you are not born you cannot be judged.

If there is a fiery hell, then I have just fooled God and spared my potential children. God cannot be fooled, therefore, there is no fiery hell.

Answer 9

It is EXACTLY what Jesus preached in Luke 16....a fiery torment!

God help those without Him!

Answer 10

Probably because some of them dont understand their own scripture.

God knows best.

Peace and Love.
