Learning about HELL

And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; ²³ and in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, Luke 16:22


May I say, to be a complete bible preacher and teacher, you must teach / talk about that dreadful place called "HELL".  Hell was not intended for humans for the bible says it was prepare for the devil and his demons.see Matt. 25:41 ( a place of torment for the unbelieving souls)

The bible, God's word, teaches us about the under world. It talks about Sheol, the grave in the Old Testament in the Hebrew, Psalms 31-16-17. It teaches about paradise, the place for the believing Old Testament saints, Luke 16:19-31, also the Lake of fire,  And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. Rev.20:14-15

And the bible teaches on HELL (Hades) of which Jesus spoke of and taught.

First, Jesus teaches it is a PLACE, in Luke 16, this parable was more than a parable, an earthly story with a heavenly meaning.  An actual place with real names used. Not a state of mind, but an actual place.

Secondly,  Jesus PICTURED it,  a type of Hell when he saw the waste land Gehenna, near Jerusalem . where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.Mark 9:44-45

Thirdly, Hell is called a PRISON, 1 Peter 3:19  in which also He went and made proclamation to the spirits now in prison, ²⁰ who once were disobedient, The Apostle of Peter spoke of this place.

Fourthly, Hell is PIT, see Rev. 20:1-3
And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. ² And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, ³ and cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more,  The apostle John wrote this. Not a great nor glorious place. Many false teachers discard hell's teaching, but it's definitely in His book, in the bible. The natural man / lost man will not understand, but GOD will give him enough grace to believe!!

Friend, if you study Jesus's words, in the New testament, he spoke of HELL more times than he taught about Heaven, because He did not want anyone to go there. God is not willing that any should perish, but that ALL would come to Him.

OH friend, please Heed the warning !!  Please call in the LORD to save you from this dreadful place, There is a Heaven to gain but this a HELL to flee, Hell is hot but Heaven is sweet, please call on the LORD today.
