Walk in the Spirit,
and ye shall not fulfil
the lust of the flesh.
–Galatians 5:16 (KJV)–

²³ In Hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. ²⁴ And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame!

–JESUS CHRIST IN LUKE 16:23-24 (KJV)–

—

¹⁰ The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: ¹¹ And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night.

–REVELATION 14:10-11 (KJV)–

—

¹⁰ 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. ¹¹ And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. ¹² And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. ¹³ And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and Hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. ¹⁴ And death and Hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. ¹⁵ And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

To set the record straight about Dr. John Piper’s view on Hell. This video was in 2017. Here he teaches a literal hell fire; and speaks against people like Dr. Schreiner who would essentially say that Biblical hell fire isn’t real; and that its “only just a symbol” and not a literal picture of Hell. Piper completely and flatly denies any such notion here: and so he stands with the Bible, Dr. John Gerstner, and Jonathan Edwards on Hell. What he’s saying here is essentially what Dr. Weir says in the horror movie Event Horizon: “HELL IS ONLY A WORD. THE REALITY IS MUCH, MUCH WORSE.” Unlike Schreiner and R. C. Sproul, who could read about hell fire; and walk away denying it completely. Piper instead reads of hell fire and says, “This is a vision from God; and it points us to something much, much worse than simply reading a Bible verse about people burning alive in fire forever. What it points to, is the fact that outside of the Gospel, YOU YOURSELF WILL EXPERIENCE THE PAIN AND THE HOPELESSNESS, OF PERSONAL CONSCIOUS SUFFERING OF BURNING ALIVE IN FIRE, FOREVER AND EVER, WITHOUT ANY HOPE OF ESCAPING FROM IT!! ALSO, YOU WON’T READ ABOUT HELL FIRE BIBLE VERSES ANYMORE, AFTER YOU GET TO HELL. IN FACT, YOUR OWN BODY AND SOUL, AND MIND AND FEELINGS, WILL BE ABSOLUTELY, COMPLETELY AND TOTALLY IMMERSED IN ACTUAL FIRE, AND YOU’LL EXPERIENCE THE MIND-BLOWING PAIN AND HOPELESS DESPAIR, OF THIS FIRE EVERY DAY, IN TIDAL WAVES OF DIVINE WRATH IN THE FORM OF FIRE, FOR CENTURIES AND CENTURIES WITHOUT ENDING.” That’s essentially what Piper is saying. He believes in a literal hell fire–a real literal lake of fire. What he’s saying is that it’s one thing to read some unreal looking Bible verses about hell fire, and to go your way and stay mentally detached from it, after you put your Bible back on the table when your devotion is all done. Its quite another thing to actually be thrown into a very real lake of fire yourself, to look up and see angels and the Lord Jesus watching you, and all the others, and to hear thousands of people screaming at the top of their lungs all around you, at volumes that no mortal man can scream; and to never be able to get away from any of it!! –J.B.

THE WORD OF FAITH

PROSPERITY GOSPEL

IS

FALSE TEACHING.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.
–1 Corinthians 13:4-8 (NIV)–

We have seen what abominations ensue where love is lacking; such individuals are proud, envious, puffed up, impatient, unstable, false, venomous, suspicious, malicious, disdainful, bitter, disinclined to service, distrustful, selfish, ambitious, and haughty.
–Martin Luther–
