@@xcobyxzei My unsaved dad died. Next night in my dream/vision my dad floated towards me face down, arms stretched out b4 him in a sea of pitch black and the last words I spoke to him when alive, rang out.."I love you dad, God bless you dad" he grabbed onto me like a drowning desperate man. I had to forcefully remove him from me, watching him float away face down in the pitch blackness. So I dont know where he was, but I sure don't want to go there.
My sister recently passed away. When the priest would say things such as “she’s in a better place”. It didn’t comfort me but brought me sadness. I still cry because I cannot bring myself to say she’s in heaven. It was a wake up call for me. How do we come to terms with knowing loved ones may not be in heaven but hell? How can we comfort ourselves? Can we still pray for them or do those prayers not do anything? It keeps me up at night especially after hearing NDE’s of people who went to hell.
Are there people who are still alive on earth forever doomed to hell because they have not repented properly? Some sins were so bad that's it a fight to keep demons from tormenting with them dangling over your head
I met Jesus when I was at my lowest and said out loud "I just want to be HAPPY!" and I MEANT it 100%, and his face just flashed in my mind and I just accepted him right then and there after living in SIN and DEBAUCHERY for most of my life. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life; the Kingdom of Heaven is NEAR; Jesus is coming back, we must all REPENT for our sins.
The part about funerals where pastors and people are always so sure that their loved ones are in “a better place” is so true. The sad reality is way more people are being led to hell than to heaven. Nobody likes to come to grasp with it though.
@@gotone2513 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: 21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. You don't go to heaven when you die.

I grew up in church and stopped believing at 18. I started practicing tarot cards, going to psychics, and trying to open my “third eye”. At 21 I paid a psychic 2k to help open my third eye. I gave her my left shoes and a shirt which I still don't know what she had done with it to this day. She gave me a necklace to wear as well. All the sudden I start feeling like I wasn't alone and fear. Covering bedroom windows just to sleep at night and over the years it became worst and worse. I cut off the psychic from the fear. I started having sleep paralysis where I could talk or move and figures would enter my room and growl in my ear and a disgusting feeling would come over my body every time. The dreams would become worst and worse. The dream that made me call my grandfather whose a pastor, I was sitting up in bed as if I was woke and I was in my room, didn't even know I was asleep until I woke up. A thing flung open my room doors and fire illuminated the room until the door was shut. It flung me do into laying position and stark towards me growling in my ear. I was crying trying to put the covers over my face but couldn't. I called my grandparents that morning. I gave my life to Go and start praying to God to equip me with armor to fight these dreams off and suddenly I was able to say “ the blood of Jesus Christ” and I would wake up. The Lord entered my life and as I grew spiritually God removed those dreams completely. He removed what I had been battling with for two years within 5 months. God is GOOD. His love is sweet as honey. Repent, give your life to God don't want him to prove it to you. At 23 I am not sleeping peacefully and not scared to lay my head down at night please don't wait until its to late
The greatest deception I hear is "God is good, everybody goes to Heaven." The first half is true, the second part not. Combining truth with lie is what makes it so easily received. I AM now eternity minded. Changed my life and lifestyle. Thank you. The truth is a hard message, not popular but necessary. Speaking in love matters. A lot.
@@speleoth it will be the perfect because the people there chose to want to be there by accepting that they were sinners, repenting, and believing in the Son of God. Everyone gets the same two choices.
To fear God, means to REVERE God... is to understand his total power and authority. There is no 'eternity in hell-fire'. We are to LOVE THE LORD THY GOD WITH ALL OF OUR HEARTS. Our JOY is in the Lord. Not fear. Read John 3:16. The wages of sin is DEATH, that we PERISH. Remember, fear not man who can take ones life, but fear the evil one who can destroy your soul. So, clearly we do not have an eternal soul. ONLY the saved are everlasting. "as the angels who do not die. You might consider my post above with more TRUTH and explanation and Scriptural reference. You might find PEACE in TRUTH.
Listened to this twice. Thank you for your service to the Lord. Last night i had a tough time going to sleep... I was led to Luke 12 vs 35 to 48 after reading dread came upon me. I knew God wanted me to understand the need for me to be serious about being His child and serving Him. I'm still shaken cause the idea of knowing Him yet missing His will in this life and ending up in hell is so scary.
@@Agapelove-d3qwe are saved not by my obedience but the obedience of ONE many are MADE righteous. Faith is what makes me righteous before God by imputation.
@@davidchupp4460 I disagree, the faith we have in Christ is what should lead us into obedience to the Father. We need to reciprocate the love that Christ showed on the cross, granted we are not perfect like Christ; He is 1 part of the God-head. We will have flaws and imperfections which His grace and blood then cover but we still have to live our lives for Him. That means persuing Him above all else, it means forsaking the world and it's vices and leading a life of holiness. The book of James reminds us that faith without works is dead, even demons believe in Chirst it's what our belief or faith leads us to do that determines whether we can be with Him for eternity or not. God has requirements of us. And Jesus was very clear about that.
@ your argument is with scripture not me. “But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.” Romans 4:5 KJV
Thankyou Arden... that was a powerful testimony about your friend who wasnt walking with the Lord and your dedication to continually asking him about his walk.
Hey, God bless you. I just wanted to let you know that the size or in better words, appearance of the church building is just the leaves. Big churches can show fruits of the Spirit and smaller churches can show fruits of the flesh. Don’t make the mistake of judging a church by its appearance because you can easily turn away a blessing from God that could possibly be in a good church.
@@trstnvocidentcris hello God bless you too 😀 I wasn’t trying to imply that big churches don’t have any fruit of the spirit and only small churches do or that small church don’t have works of the flesh and big church do. I was simply making a statement to what was said in the video “I’ve only heard one or two pastors talk about eternity” when in reality there are lots of pastors talking about it we just don’t know them because they are in smaller unknown churches
Woohoo! Finally someone is speaking about this in a clear and concise manner scripturally! It's muh needed today. Many people believe the fallacy that they AUTOMATICALLY go to Heaven. They try to use God as a scapegoat for there son. "If God is so loving..." They believe that God has turned a blind eye or they are so lax in their walk, they're willing to risk it. We NEED to return to the Fear of the Lord!
People think that everyone goes to HEAVEN when they die but most people will enter hell.All glory to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords JESUS CHRIST!!
i watch your podcast often at a coffee shop often when i am studying! You and your son do an outstanding job! I agree and believe what you teach about! Truly learn a lot from y’all! My sisters and i have a dream to start a Christian podcast soon!
Thank you for this teaching! I really love that you talk about this. Love the details of this conversation. It breaks my heart when I read the Book of Revelation for those who rejected Christ. ✝️🙏🏽
Eternity in hell-fire is NOT the TRUITH. This is one of Satan's greatest LIES... That god would punish us with torture for eternity. Curious at all??? Don't believe this could be true... Please consider my post above with full explanation and Scriptural reference. The wages of sin is DEATH.. That we PERISH... Read John 3:16... The wages of sin is DEATH. The lake of fire has been prepared for Satan and his demons who ARE eternal beings. AMEN
16:32 John, I love how you see things! Earth the closest to heaven unbelievers will ever get and the closest place believers will get to hell! That is really profound.
I’m really enjoying these podcasts! You and Lisa did an amazing job raising your kids - it is so evident with Arden. I really like listening to him talk, and I’m appreciating the dialogue between the two of you. It’s nice to hear his points of view and the perspective that he brings to the table. It’s refreshing and I really enjoy hearing the back and forth, give and take, exchange between the both of you. Well done ❤
As I’m listening to your summary of hell and the rich man / Lazarus, I feel compelled to share this message. I hope it finds you well 🕊️ God has been sending me some pretty eye opening dreams where he has provided scripture. One of the dreams I had less than a week ago caused me to wake up and cry. It was about how human beings were *supposed* to have been created. God’s plan for us and then how Satan disrupted that plan. He showed me how the souls of babies start out in heaven and how their bodies are then crafted in the mother’s womb. He knows them in spirit. The angels and the angels that fell with Satan have free choice as we do, but they do not feel in the same ways we do. Satan and those angels he deceived were angry because they felt like God had chosen a favorite when man was made. In addition, we had something the angels did not…we had bodies and could feel pleasure, hunger, pain, etc. He outlined the reasons why we struggle so much. It’s because our bodies desire what is pleasing to the body, whereas our spirit either desires what is pleasing to God, or ultimately - through continuous sin - to Satan. I was not allowed to remember every single aspect of this dream, so I feel like I’m leaving so much of it out. And interestingly, when you mentioned those with NDE’s that come back saying they have no recollection, this really stood out to me. God sometimes doesn’t allow for people to remember everything that He has shown them. Often times, this is why people will write everything down the moment they awake. However, some things were not *meant* to remember. _The main point is that God did not originally want this life to be such a test, but has allowed for it because we must prove that our spirit (of God) is stronger than our bodily desires (of Satan)._ This is why it’s good for Christian’s to fast, because in fasting against our bodily desires (driven by Satan), we strengthen our spirit (our connection to God). In addition, the reason why children are referenced when Jesus says to approach God with childlike faith is b/c a child’s spirit is fully formed at the time of conception. But as the child grows, he/she sins through the body, thus further separating themself from God. So we know more of Satan in his world than we know of God in the world that we were truly meant to experience until we’re born again. I could see God’s sadness and this was so overwhelming to me. Essentially, at one point in time, we *truly* knew Him. Our spirit outweighed our flesh. But through continuous sin of self harm through, or to the body, we no longer maintain a spiritual understanding of love and truth, but a *bodily* understanding of pleasure and self-gratification (Satan’s ploy to separate and keep us blinded from God’s spiritual truth). Think of certain sexual sins, for instance, and why sexual immorality is so repulsive to God. It embodies the very sin that God never intended. This sin reflects a perverse act by the angelic spirit in order to experience pleasure that they were never created to experience having not been provided with physical bodies. Hell is real. Jesus is coming back soon. Align yourself in faith to the one true Son of God. He died for *your* sins. He shed blood at cavalry and rose the 3rd day. No amount of works will save any of us. None of us are good.
@NoName-jo5tu if heaven is inside you, where do you think hell is. But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.
Whether he'll is literal or figurative, I don't want to find out. The fact that the most high could erase you from his memory is terrifying enough. I want him, and I want the renewed kingdom of Jerusalem!
I love God, he brings me such peace, but im am also terrified beyond understanding. I will just put my trust in him and await the day i get to see him, hopefully he will not tell me to depart from him. I hope to hear i was a good servant.
Romans 1:18-20 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse.
They get a fair shake to seek the truth and change their mind (repent) but very few will do it by choosing to believe in the Messiah. That's why Jesus said the gate is narrow. We all have a free will to seek him or not.
The part about like 70% of cardiac arrest patent revives after going to hell, then not even remembering their own cries for help on the operating table a couple weeks later… Dude, that is so chilling! And so sad! 😢 It’s never easy sharing this kind of truth, but it’s the kind of love nobody much understands anymore. Some of the realest there is. I want to thank you and your son so much for having the courage and faithfulness to the Father in sharing that love! It is so very much needed in our world today!
"I still really love what the world has to offer". Oh my, yes, that right there is a sign of a person who does not know Jesus. The sin is not as much of the problem as the love for it is. A born again Christian despises sin. It's not that they never sin, it's that they hate it when they do.
Anytime any of us help someone and try to tell them about Jesus Christ we should pray to him he guides us to do and say the right things. May the One True God of Peace Bless us ALL !
Great teaching, but remember what the Psalmist said, though I make my bed in hell thou art there. Yes, hell is a place void of the goodness of His Presence, but not the wrath of His Presence. Actually, the flames of the lowest hell is the anger of God burning and implementing the deserved justice of the violation of His Holiness against all those who have refused the gift of pardon offered only through our Lord Jesus Christ and His shed blood. Our God is a consuming fire. God is eternal therefore so are His attributes. His love will be experienced by the redeemed and His wrath will be experienced by the devil and all of those who side up with him whether angel or human. Make no mistake, our God is as much in hell as He is in Heaven, even at this very moment. He fills all things. Amen.
John, last Christmas I gifted several "Christian" family members with your books Driven by Eternity and Bait of Satan with a loving card. MOST were offended and told me to keep my "religion" to myself. It's not MY religion, it's in YOUR Bible.🤷
1 John 1 KJV 🩸 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
Just wanted to clarify that the pharisees aren't children of the devil, just misguided people who were very stubborn. Jesus never thought of them as an enemy, and kept preaching to them despite knowing what they were gonna do which was to kill Him.
Just remember this number could possibly change. and 3% of 8 billion population is still a lot of people but yeah its sad how many will perish =( Pray for as many as possible to be saved! Pray for me Brothers and Sisters and I'll pray for you may God have his Mercy on all of our souls
What do you do if it is your wife who has turned away from God, and any time you try and bring it up, she's angry? I'm not sure there is a benefit speaking of God in those circumstances.
Lazarus was in flames and torment. The lake of fire has a glow to it. You’re wrong about black flames in hell it’ll be just a little bit or light around the person that’s in the flames so they can see that they’re burning so you’re wrong about black fire.
Great talk, thank you. I am curious about as to why if he'll was not designed for God's children, why it is used as such? It is obvious for those that sin greatly, but what about our friends that don't make it their business to seek?
At 16:38, Brother John mentions no light in Hell. That is true. However, his definition of "light" seems to be a bit off. There is, in fact, fire in Hell -- if you've gone camping, you'll have noticed just how dark your campsite is. You'll also have noticed the contrast of your campfire with the surrounding darkness of the campsite.
Some people think their priest has the keys to heaven, so when the day they die, the priest will open up heaven for you to go through. What a lie from the pit of hell.
Matthew 7:13-14 "Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it." John 10:9 Jesus speaking: "I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture." John 14:6 "Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." Jeremiah 10:23 "O LORD, I know the way of a man is not in himself; it is not in man who walks to direct his own steps." Psalm 37:23-24 "The steps of a good man are *ordered by the Lord, and He delights in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; for the LORD upholds him with His hand." * ordered is translated from the Hebrew word, 'kun', which means ~ appointed, determined, firmly established, perfected... what a faithful, loving God! We can't even walk His path without the Lord establishing our path, but we must be obedient to Him. ❤ I write this only because it took me so long to discover what Jesus meant by 'narrow gate', but when I started praying for the Holy Spirit to teach me truth as I open the Word each day, He responded abundantly and favorably. The Word without the Spirit is information, the Spirit without the Word is inspiration, but together, they bring transformation and creation. ❤
If a teacher is not correcting people, would they be seen as a false teacher. So if a teacher of the Word says that she only love people not correcting them, would they be in line
I have a request. I often listen when I'm driving and can't make notes about your scripture references. Would it be too much trouble to add that to the description box?
How is it that a random sinner on the street is put off because God sends people to hell, and yet somehow the host says he's the only one preaching on hell and that it isn't preached on enough?
Why don't GOD speak to all of us from HEAVEN like he did when he spoke when JOHN baptized JESUS ❓ There are so many pastors, ministers, scholars, bishops, preachers, etc telling us what GOD says. I want to hear from GOD from GOD.
Yes! Do not always trust and accept the words of men. It is not the words of men that save men's souls... But the Word of God. As fallen mankind, we are warned that we should not trust in our own understandings. Search the Scriptures. SEEK TRUTH. Pray for wisdom and discernment. There-in the Word of God will come.... Know that the wages of sin is DEATH.. Not 'eternal hell-fire'. Those who are not saved will PERISH. Consider my post above for explanation and clear Scripture.
LOL, Jesus did NOT talk about hell more than he talked about heaven. It's not even remotely close, either. Hades is mentioned 8 times by Jesus, Hell or Gehenna 11 times and the place of gnashing of teeth 11 times. Even if you combine Gehenna (the lake of fire), the place of gnashing of teeth and Hades(Sheol, the Grave) you get a total of 30 mentions. Not even CLOSE to the 128 times Heaven is mentioned in 128 verses of the Gospels. He talks about Heaven 4 TIMES more than he does about the grave OR the lake of fire. You probably can't even define hell, accurately. Linguistically, hell is closest to hades, which would just be the grave, and it's where people go when they die. Theologically, it's used in a manner that would be closer to Gehenna, or the Lake of Fire, which is the final punishment and destination for the wicked, which doesn't happen until AFTER the Millennial Reign. Nobody is burning in the lake of fire now. This is where most Christians mess up what hell is. They think it's simultaneously the lake of fire the final fate of the wicked, but ALSO where people go right when they die(hades). You have to pick one, because they aren't the same. We can thank the awful KJV for this confusion as they translate Sheol, Hades, Gehenna and Tartarus as Hell. Hades (or hell) gets thrown into the lake of fire and is destroyed along with death and the wicked. But regardless, Hell and the Lake of Fire are not the same, AT ALL.
Actually, if you could question those who are in the place where the rich man was, I don't think the name of it would make a difference in their suffering.
@@jeromepopiel388 Clearly you didn't read the post. It's NOT just about the name. They are VERY different places and even when you combine them it's a fraction of the time Jesus talked about heaven. Now you would THINK you'd actually care about someone blaspheming Jesus by claiming he emphasized something WAY more than he actually did. Even worse, claims the exact OPPOSITE of what Jesus emphasized. As to the rich man, it's a parable, and obviously so, as IF it were about what happens when we die, Jesus would be contradicting himself, Paul, John and the Old Testament. Even worse the whole story is absolutely absurd, if you try to take it literally. Actually, it's quite horrific for EVERYONE (even those in heaven) if it's to be taken literally. Do you HONESTLY think we can converse with people in "hell"? If so, then that would mean we can CERTAINLY hear their screams. IMAGINE hearing the screams of BILLIONS of souls in agony. Which brings up ANOTHER problem with a literal interpretation of the story. It's bad enough to believe they could converse across the impassable chasm, but to think they could then converse over the cacophony of BILLIONS of screaming souls, is BEYOND ridiculous. But taking the parable literally has led to some horrific theology. After the Gnosticism of the Greeks and the Plato's pagan belief of hte immortality of the soul infiltrated the church, some church "heroes" of the 3rd and 4th century, like Augustine, actually tried to answer the serious problem this parable presents, IF taken literally. Mainly, how are we to enjoy heaven IF we can hear the screams of the damned for all eternity. The answer? The joys of heaven will be all the more exquisite when contrasted with the screams of those in agony in hell. EXCUSE ME? But only a demonically possessed psychopath could actually get pleasure from hearing the screams of those in horrifying agony. Also, IF this is to be taken literally and a story about heaven and hell and the afterlife, then WHAT is the point of the story? WHAT in the world did Lazarus do to get saved? Does just being poor and destitute get you to heaven? Many answered that absurd question with a yes. By taking this parable literally, what else are you to glean from it other than the fact that being poor is somehow inherently righteous? As to the rich man, OK, he wasn't generous enough. If THAT'S all it takes you to get to hell, then we are ALL going there. We are ALL surrounded by the poor and unfortunately, if you tithe or not, we ALL have more money we could give to the hungry right in our own backyards. So, we are ALL the rich man in that we deny those in desperate need, that we choose to ignore and not feed or cloth or house. The Parable had nothing to do with any of that. To discern ANY parable you have to know who it was spoken to, who was it about, and what message was He trying to convey to them. In this case it was TO the Pharisees. Literally RIGHT before He gave this parable, Luke mentions the pharisees were mocking him because they were lovers of money. They also believed that those who were rich were favored by God, those who were poor and diseased were cursed by God. This led to a lot of self-righteousness and a completely false perception of where they REALLY stood with God. So lo and behold, Jesus goes into a story about a rich man who ends up in a bad place and a poor man who ends up in a good place. Jesus gives the detail that the rich man had 5 brothers, a completely meaningless detail for the story, unless you realize Judah (the only tribe left of Israel) had 5 full blood brothers, plus Caiaphas who was the High Priest at the time who sentenced Jesus to death, also lived in his father in laws house with the 5 sons of the father in law. This was Jesus shining the spotlight right into their eyes. The rich man calls Abraham his Father. Earlier in Luke John told the Pharisees not to brag about being sons of Abraham as God can raise up children to Abraham from rocks. Jesus also told them Abraham wasn't their father, but Satan was. Lazarus represented the gentiles as he was outside the gate. longing for crumbs from the table of the rich man. This was an analogy of the gentiles starving for the riches of the word of God that the Jews had, but they didn't share with the Gentiles. So Jesus was warning them that the riches of the gospel and even the kingdom of heaven were about to be handed over to the gentiles and the Jews would be the ones n the outside starving for the word of God and they would be the ones in torment. Shortly after they crucified Jesus, Jerusalem was literally burned to the ground. The Jews were dispersed and have been persecuted ever since, including the horrific fiery holocaust where MILLIONS of them would be burned in the ovens. So the rich man being in fiery torment was a pretty accurate description of their coming judgment. Finally, in the parable, Lazarus is NOT raised up, as Abraham promises the rich man that his brothers(the Pharisees) had the LAW and the PROPHETS already (two more details to clearly link the rich man to the Jewish people) and would NOT repent even if someone were raised from the dead. Yet in the real-world Jesus DOES raise up a man named Lazarus and just as Jesus predicted in the parable, not only would they not believe, they actually sought to KILL both Lazarus and Jesus. The whole parable is a direct condemnation of the Pharisees and the Jewish people.
@@cryptojihadi265 But clearly you didn't read the parable carefully enough to notice that it is not speaking of heaven, but "Abraham's bosom", which was a place also under the earth, but above Hades. So no, those in heaven are not aware of those in hell. Also, the shoah was not a judgement of the Jews, but it took place at the time in order that the nation of Israel would be reborn according to prophecy. Btw, Jews were not burned alive, but were gassed. I have personally seen the gas chambers.
Jesus was setting up the Jewish people by using the name Lazarus because he would use his friend Larazus as an example of one who died and came back but people still would not listen. If you pa attention to the parable you will realize that the richman was not give a second chance to go back and witness yet Jesus would have so much compassion on Israel that he would raise one from the dead and send back showing more mercy in real life than what was shown in the parable. Also he waited until lazazus was beyond return, in Jewish culture they believed the soul lingered around fr 3 days and after three days the soul would go to its eternal rest. Remember even Elijah and Elisha had accounts of resurrecting people so they believed that death was only permanent after 3 days.Hinting that Lazarus came back either from the place of the damned or Abrahams bossom
A pastor who states that the unrepentant is in a better place should be fired as a false teacher. This is a lie from the pit of hell and the small comfort it provides allows and encourages others to keep their godless lifestyle whether they are "good" and "kind" people otherwise. They are still lost and headed for hell. " None is righteousness. No not one." Apart from Christ and His atoning sacrifice, we are doomed to judgement and eternity apart from God.
When you die, you go to hades, not hell. People go to hell after judgment day. I know because I died already. When you die as a disciple you go to the garden of Eden to wait for Jesus to take you to heaven. I can prove this to you in the Bible if you want. Reach out God bless you, I love what you are doing for the kingdom of God...
@tinamariestovall5321 I apologize, I didn't know who was asking the question. So, as I already explained to you in my first response. Jesus said he was going to spend 3 days and 3 nights in the heart of the earth Matthew 12:40. So Jesus was in earth core for 3 days and 3 nights . The Lord said to the thief on his right today you will be in paradise with me. Luke 23:43 so where is paradise located? In the heart of the earth. This is the reason why the Bible says that the earth will give up the dead. It's not talking about the physical body, because the physical body decompose after 6 months to a year. It's talking about the souls. Now get ready for this. Why did God place cherubim in the east side of the Garden of Eden? To prevent Adam and Eve from eating from the tree of Life. Genesis 3:24 now Look what Jesus said in Revelation 2:7 he will give you the right to eat from the tree of life that is in the paradise of God. The tree of life was in the Garden of Eden. You very well know the garden was paradise. Please don't delete this response. The reason I know all this is because I'm a disciple of Jesus who already died. God bless you
It's been said that only about 25% of people in churches will end up in heaven... The other 75% have been led to hell by the RELIGIOUS belief systems of the collective teachings of the machine. It's the cult of everything "Christianese" except total surrender to Jesus Christ. It's Jesus in us and through us that's the hope of glory.
🩸 Most Christians have departed from the faith🩸 Romans 3 KJV 🩸 25 Whom God hath set forth _to be_ a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; 1 Timothy 4 KJV 1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
I want to thank you for spreading the gospel in your ministry and this is no way a personal jab at you, but the GNT has the worst translation of Matt 7:13-14. Jesus was not talking about the road to hell being “easy” or the way to life being “hard”. He is definitely talking about the way to destruction being “broad” and the way to life being “constricted”. These changes in the translations have a profound impact on how the reader interprets what Jesus said. The GNT goes the way of finding life through meritocracy of our works. It’s signaling the road to life is hard bc we have to work everyday to stay the narrow course to find it. That’s not what Jesus is implying. I truly believe He is saying the way is constricted, not hard, bc there is only one way to life and that is thru Him, alone. The deceivers that walked on the road to life and went astray have no mention they were actually believers. They could have been “on the road” thru listening to the gospel but have rejected it and leading believers to doubt their faith in Christ alone, driven by their sinful self righteousness. Their unbelief led them to destruction. They never walked thru the narrow gate which is faith in Christ, alone. To conclude, if we strive to find the narrow gate, but the way that leads to it is “hard”, then we become discouraged and have no assurance that we ever will find the narrow gate. It’s not hard. It’s just constricted to only one way; Christ Jesus. The way of the Law is hard and impossible. It wearies us bc it’s a constant reminder we fall short of God’s Glory. Trust in Him that fulfilled the Law. For this is what he said, Matthew 11:28-30 New American Standard Bible 28 “Come to Me, all [a]who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find [b]rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is comfortable, and My burden is light
Slightly disagree with this teaching, God is omnipresent, even in hell, those in hell will still be in the presence of God, it will just be under His righteous and just judgement
Why would Gods presence be in hell and the lake of fire for eternity? That’s a wild statement. They have chosen to reject God. Therefore they will spend eternity without him.
Why arent ALL churches warning of hell way more then not covering it/discussing it at all? John why dont you invite pastors to discuss hell on your podcast and how they are commited to warning the people about hell?
Yes I believe there is a hell. He’ll was and is made for the devil and his fallen angels. There are people that are there in hell because they did not accept the redemption that Jesus died for. They are there in hell FOREVER! That means for all eternity! Please accept Jesus as your savior today . Jesus said what profit a man if he gains the whole world but loses his soul? In psalms chapter 1 verse 5 from the passion bible , the wicked will not endure the day of judgment for god will not defend them.
Greek manuscripts had no punctuation. If we read 1 Corinthians 15:22-25 "For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive, but each one in his own order: Christ, the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ's coming, then comes the end when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power. For He must reign till He has put all enemies under His feet." I believe the saints that Jesus resurrected from their graves on the Day He rose from the dead and delivered them to the Father, some of which are the 24 elders before the throne.
They were not raised immortal yet and had to die again. The 24 elders are not human, but have been with God from the beginning as Melchizedek was although he may actually be one of the elders.
Guys consider, he left his body in Heaven to become a human- then those who Christ knows, will get a new body in heaven… but the Savior stays in his human body forever? Man is the least of all them God has created. 🤦♂️ Bless that man Jesus.
To be eternally redeemed (Hebrews 9:12), believe you have eternal life by the grace of Jesus Christ, NOT by your own righteousness, which is of the law (John 3:16, 1 John 5:10-13, Acts 15:11, Romans 3:19-28, Romans 9:29-10:6, Philippians 3:9, John 5:24, Hebrews 10:10-14, 2 Timothy 4:18).
Every hell verse Jesus said was hyperbole. There is no hell doctrine in the Old Testament. Mankind is under Adam’s curse but Jesus’s death nullifies that curse completely. Where sin abounds grace abounds all the more.
Jesus never once said "hell". He spoke of a valley of Hinnon where people see dead corpses )from last verse of Isaiah) and hades where souls are preserved until final judgement. See Edward Fudge, Doug Batchelor, read Four Views of Hell.. Bevere lies about hell for Jesus never used this word.
Hell is the place of the future punishment called "Gehenna" or "Gehenna of fire". This was originally the valley of Hinnom, south of Jerusalem, where the filth and dead animals of the city were cast out and burned; a fit symbol of the wicked and their future ...
@@araenasanchez that takes place in Hades, not Gehena. It's therefore BEFORE the final judgement/ final punishment. If you want more proof - the rich man's brothers are still alive on the earth! Therefore this passage is practically irrelevant to the nature of the final judgement.
HELL IS REAL ,IF WERE NOT WHAT’S THE POINT OF JESUS CHRIST DYING ON THE CROSS FOR??? WHY HE DIED FOR US? HE CAME TO SAVE US RIGHT? SAVE US FROM WHAT ??? HELLLL
Hell is THE GRAVE... Yes, DEATH is very real. More specifically THE SECOND DEATH. (look this up!) Hell is that we PERISH. Read John 3:16... God sent his only son to die on the cross, THAT WE MIGHT NOT PERISH.. The lake of fire was prepared for Satan and his demons, who ARE eternal beings. WE, do not yet, have an eternal soul. You might consider my post below, with full explanation and clear Scriptural reference
What confuses you about eternity/hell?
Jesus saved me from falling inside the abyss
Are their people in hell at this very moment or are the souls of the dead kept somewhere else until its time for them to be put into hell?
@@xcobyxzei My unsaved dad died. Next night in my dream/vision my dad floated towards me face down, arms stretched out b4 him in a sea of pitch black and the last words I spoke to him when alive, rang out.."I love you dad, God bless you dad" he grabbed onto me like a drowning desperate man. I had to forcefully remove him from me, watching him float away face down in the pitch blackness.
So I dont know where he was, but I sure don't want to go there.
My sister recently passed away. When the priest would say things such as “she’s in a better place”. It didn’t comfort me but brought me sadness. I still cry because I cannot bring myself to say she’s in heaven. It was a wake up call for me. How do we come to terms with knowing loved ones may not be in heaven but hell? How can we comfort ourselves? Can we still pray for them or do those prayers not do anything? It keeps me up at night especially after hearing NDE’s of people who went to hell.
Are there people who are still alive on earth forever doomed to hell because they have not repented properly? Some sins were so bad that's it a fight to keep demons from tormenting with them dangling over your head
I met Jesus when I was at my lowest and said out loud "I just want to be HAPPY!" and I MEANT it 100%, and his face just flashed in my mind and I just accepted him right then and there after living in SIN and DEBAUCHERY for most of my life.
Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life; the Kingdom of Heaven is NEAR; Jesus is coming back, we must all REPENT for our sins.
The part about funerals where pastors and people are always so sure that their loved ones are in “a better place” is so true. The sad reality is way more people are being led to hell than to heaven. Nobody likes to come to grasp with it though.

I grew up in church and stopped believing at 18. I started practicing tarot cards, going to psychics, and trying to open my “third eye”. At 21 I paid a psychic 2k to help open my third eye. I gave her my left shoes and a shirt which I still don't know what she had done with it to this day. She gave me a necklace to wear as well. All the sudden I start feeling like I wasn't alone and fear. Covering bedroom windows just to sleep at night and over the years it became worst and worse. I cut off the psychic from the fear. I started having sleep paralysis where I could talk or move and figures would enter my room and growl in my ear and a disgusting feeling would come over my body every time.
The dreams would become worst and worse. The dream that made me call my grandfather whose a pastor, I was sitting up in bed as if I was woke and I was in my room, didn't even know I was asleep until I woke up. A thing flung open my room doors and fire illuminated the room until the door was shut. It flung me do into laying position and stark towards me growling in my ear. I was crying trying to put the covers over my face but couldn't. I called my grandparents that morning. I gave my life to Go and start praying to God to equip me with armor to fight these dreams off and suddenly I was able to say “ the blood of Jesus Christ” and I would wake up. The Lord entered my life and as I grew spiritually God removed those dreams completely. He removed what I had been battling with for two years within 5 months. God is GOOD. His love is sweet as honey. Repent, give your life to God don't want him to prove it to you. At 23 I am not sleeping peacefully and not scared to lay my head down at night please don't wait until its to late
Amen thank you for sharing your testimony! You know the number 5 means grace!

Wow. This testimony is amazing. God is so good!
It's not too late.
Wow, what a sobering and powerful Word. Chains are being broken off! Thank you for continuing to speak Truth that is setting captives free ❤
The greatest deception I hear is "God is good, everybody goes to Heaven." The first half is true, the second part not. Combining truth with lie is what makes it so easily received. I AM now eternity minded. Changed my life and lifestyle. Thank you.
The truth is a hard message, not popular but necessary. Speaking in love matters. A lot.
How could heaven be a perfect place if everyone wasn't there?
@@speleoththere won't be the memory of those that chose not to be born again
@@speleoth it will be the perfect because the people there chose to want to be there by accepting that they were sinners, repenting, and believing in the Son of God. Everyone gets the same two choices.
@@katush80Listen to yourself
By the grace of God not of ourselves
Knowing there's a hell keeps me humble and compassionate. ❤
To fear God, means to REVERE God... is to understand his total power and authority. There is no 'eternity in hell-fire'.
We are to LOVE THE LORD THY GOD WITH ALL OF OUR HEARTS. Our JOY is in the Lord. Not fear. Read John 3:16.
The wages of sin is DEATH, that we PERISH. Remember, fear not man who can take ones life, but fear the evil one who can destroy your soul.
So, clearly we do not have an eternal soul. ONLY the saved are everlasting. "as the angels who do not die.
You might consider my post above with more TRUTH and explanation and Scriptural reference. You might find PEACE in TRUTH.
@princesssweetpea9205 There's a hell for sure. Mark God's word!
Listened to this twice. Thank you for your service to the Lord. Last night i had a tough time going to sleep... I was led to Luke 12 vs 35 to 48 after reading dread came upon me. I knew God wanted me to understand the need for me to be serious about being His child and serving Him. I'm still shaken cause the idea of knowing Him yet missing His will in this life and ending up in hell is so scary.
You are saved by believing the gospel not being good.
We are saved by believing and turning from sin the only way possible to turn from sin is to renew your mind with the word of God ! ❤u
@@Agapelove-d3qwe are saved not by my obedience but the obedience of ONE many are MADE righteous. Faith is what makes me righteous before God by imputation.
@@davidchupp4460 I disagree, the faith we have in Christ is what should lead us into obedience to the Father. We need to reciprocate the love that Christ showed on the cross, granted we are not perfect like Christ; He is 1 part of the God-head. We will have flaws and imperfections which His grace and blood then cover but we still have to live our lives for Him. That means persuing Him above all else, it means forsaking the world and it's vices and leading a life of holiness. The book of James reminds us that faith without works is dead, even demons believe in Chirst it's what our belief or faith leads us to do that determines whether we can be with Him for eternity or not. God has requirements of us. And Jesus was very clear about that.
@ your argument is with scripture not me. “But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.”
Romans 4:5 KJV
That's why im going for the "fear of God" style of preaching. Most people doesn't take too seriously when you don't plant some kind of fear in them.
I felt that prayer as well! Glory!!
Thankyou Arden... that was a powerful testimony about your friend who wasnt walking with the Lord and your dedication to continually asking him about his walk.
Small church pastors speak about hell, sin, and repentance all the time. It’s all these “big name” pastors that don’t talk about it.
Hey, God bless you. I just wanted to let you know that the size or in better words, appearance of the church building is just the leaves. Big churches can show fruits of the Spirit and smaller churches can show fruits of the flesh. Don’t make the mistake of judging a church by its appearance because you can easily turn away a blessing from God that could possibly be in a good church.
@@trstnvocidentcris hello God bless you too 😀 I wasn’t trying to imply that big churches don’t have any fruit of the spirit and only small churches do or that small church don’t have works of the flesh and big church do. I was simply making a statement to what was said in the video “I’ve only heard one or two pastors talk about eternity” when in reality there are lots of pastors talking about it we just don’t know them because they are in smaller unknown churches
Woohoo! Finally someone is speaking about this in a clear and concise manner scripturally! It's muh needed today. Many people believe the fallacy that they AUTOMATICALLY go to Heaven. They try to use God as a scapegoat for there son. "If God is so loving..." They believe that God has turned a blind eye or they are so lax in their walk, they're willing to risk it. We NEED to return to the Fear of the Lord!
People think that everyone goes to HEAVEN when they die but most people will enter hell.All glory to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords JESUS CHRIST!!
wrath is revealed against unrighteousness and ungodliness so its a good thing.
i watch your podcast often at a coffee shop often when i am studying! You and your son do an outstanding job! I agree and believe what you teach about! Truly learn a lot from y’all! My sisters and i have a dream to start a Christian podcast soon!
There’s no such thing is RIP unless it’s through Christ Jesus
That gave me chills 😬” it’s Easy to go to hell”… wow!!
Very freakin ' easy 😢
I very much enjoyed this teaching! Thank you for speaking on this when many pastors avoid it or even worse sugar coat it.
Thank you for this teaching! I really love that you talk about this. Love the details of this conversation. It breaks my heart when I read the Book of Revelation for those who rejected Christ. ✝️🙏🏽

Eternity in hell-fire is NOT the TRUITH. This is one of Satan's greatest LIES... That god would punish us with torture for eternity.

16:32 John, I love how you see things! Earth the closest to heaven unbelievers will ever get and the closest place believers will get to hell! That is really profound.
I’m really enjoying these podcasts! You and Lisa did an amazing job raising your kids - it is so evident with Arden. I really like listening to him talk, and I’m appreciating the dialogue between the two of you. It’s nice to hear his points of view and the perspective that he brings to the table. It’s refreshing and I really enjoy hearing the back and forth, give and take, exchange between the both of you. Well done ❤
Thank you brother! Sobering indeed!
Thankyou for your continued and tireless preaching encouraging us and drawing us closer to Jesus 🙏
As I’m listening to your summary of hell and the rich man / Lazarus, I feel compelled to share this message. I hope it finds you well 🕊️
God has been sending me some pretty eye opening dreams where he has provided scripture. One of the dreams I had less than a week ago caused me to wake up and cry. It was about how human beings were *supposed* to have been created. God’s plan for us and then how Satan disrupted that plan.
He showed me how the souls of babies start out in heaven and how their bodies are then crafted in the mother’s womb. He knows them in spirit. The angels and the angels that fell with Satan have free choice as we do, but they do not feel in the same ways we do. Satan and those angels he deceived were angry because they felt like God had chosen a favorite when man was made. In addition, we had something the angels did not…we had bodies and could feel pleasure, hunger, pain, etc. He outlined the reasons why we struggle so much. It’s because our bodies desire what is pleasing to the body, whereas our spirit either desires what is pleasing to God, or ultimately - through continuous sin - to Satan.
I was not allowed to remember every single aspect of this dream, so I feel like I’m leaving so much of it out. And interestingly, when you mentioned those with NDE’s that come back saying they have no recollection, this really stood out to me. God sometimes doesn’t allow for people to remember everything that He has shown them. Often times, this is why people will write everything down the moment they awake. However, some things were not *meant* to remember.
_The main point is that God did not originally want this life to be such a test, but has allowed for it because we must prove that our spirit (of God) is stronger than our bodily desires (of Satan)._
This is why it’s good for Christian’s to fast, because in fasting against our bodily desires (driven by Satan), we strengthen our spirit (our connection to God). In addition, the reason why children are referenced when Jesus says to approach God with childlike faith is b/c a child’s spirit is fully formed at the time of conception. But as the child grows, he/she sins through the body, thus further separating themself from God. So we know more of Satan in his world than we know of God in the world that we were truly meant to experience until we’re born again. I could see God’s sadness and this was so overwhelming to me. Essentially, at one point in time, we *truly* knew Him. Our spirit outweighed our flesh. But through continuous sin of self harm through, or to the body, we no longer maintain a spiritual understanding of love and truth, but a *bodily* understanding of pleasure and self-gratification (Satan’s ploy to separate and keep us blinded from God’s spiritual truth).
Think of certain sexual sins, for instance, and why sexual immorality is so repulsive to God. It embodies the very sin that God never intended. This sin reflects a perverse act by the angelic spirit in order to experience pleasure that they were never created to experience having not been provided with physical bodies. Hell is real. Jesus is coming back soon. Align yourself in faith to the one true Son of God. He died for *your* sins. He shed blood at cavalry and rose the 3rd day. No amount of works will save any of us. None of us are good.
Thank you for this message. Please listen. We all need to think about it ❤
Wow! I just started listening and I just know this is going to be 🔥!! Thank you so much for teaching about this🙏🏻🙌🏻👏🏻
@NoName-jo5tu if heaven is inside you, where do you think hell is.
But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.
Thank you so much for teaching on this. I really need to hear this.
Whether he'll is literal or figurative, I don't want to find out. The fact that the most high could erase you from his memory is terrifying enough. I want him, and I want the renewed kingdom of Jerusalem!
I love God, he brings me such peace, but im am also terrified beyond understanding. I will just put my trust in him and await the day i get to see him, hopefully he will not tell me to depart from him. I hope to hear i was a good servant.
Joy to watch!!!!
Now this is the John B I know, anointed message. It's TRUTH. Receive it. Great job! Praise the Lord!!
Does every human get chances to repent and to receive Gods mercy and the life in Jesus?
Yes
Romans 1:18-20
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse.
Now, yes!
@linnnystrom3740 you are going to get many life's to get this right.
They get a fair shake to seek the truth and change their mind (repent) but very few will do it by choosing to believe in the Messiah. That's why Jesus said the gate is narrow. We all have a free will to seek him or not.
The part about like 70% of cardiac arrest patent revives after going to hell, then not even remembering their own cries for help on the operating table a couple weeks later… Dude, that is so chilling! And so sad! 😢
It’s never easy sharing this kind of truth, but it’s the kind of love nobody much understands anymore. Some of the realest there is. I want to thank you and your son so much for having the courage and faithfulness to the Father in sharing that love! It is so very much needed in our world today!
Amen!! John Bevere !! Oh how he loves us!!!
"I still really love what the world has to offer". Oh my, yes, that right there is a sign of a person who does not know Jesus. The sin is not as much of the problem as the love for it is. A born again Christian despises sin. It's not that they never sin, it's that they hate it when they do.
Prayerful repentance brings revival.
THe unseen parts of the body are more important than the seen. Abosolute truth
Anytime any of us help someone and try to tell them about Jesus Christ we should pray to him he guides us to do and say the right things. May the One True God of Peace Bless us ALL !
We’re factory set for Hell. -our nature byway of it -proves that daily.
And...if you want to be lied to more about hell...listen to this video.
Great teaching, but remember what the Psalmist said, though I make my bed in hell thou art there. Yes, hell is a place void of the goodness of His Presence, but not the wrath of His Presence. Actually, the flames of the lowest hell is the anger of God burning and implementing the deserved justice of the violation of His Holiness against all those who have refused the gift of pardon offered only through our Lord Jesus Christ and His shed blood. Our God is a consuming fire. God is eternal therefore so are His attributes. His love will be experienced by the redeemed and His wrath will be experienced by the devil and all of those who side up with him whether angel or human. Make no mistake, our God is as much in hell as He is in Heaven, even at this very moment. He fills all things. Amen.
Is it possible hell is sometimes confused with the lake of fire ??
Many people confuse the two. In the Bible, they are two distinct locales.
John, last Christmas I gifted several "Christian" family members with your books Driven by Eternity and Bait of Satan with a loving card. MOST were offended and told me to keep my "religion" to myself. It's not MY religion, it's in YOUR Bible.🤷
I pray and repent for phonography and I denounce perversion
1 John 1 KJV 🩸
7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
Jesus was talking to the Pharisees the Children of the Devil 👿
Just wanted to clarify that the pharisees aren't children of the devil, just misguided people who were very stubborn. Jesus never thought of them as an enemy, and kept preaching to them despite knowing what they were gonna do which was to kill Him.
In his NDE, Pastor Howard Pittman actually saw how many people who died on a given day made it into heaven and that was 3%.
Are you speaking of all people on the earth or just those who call themselves Christians?
@PaulJarose-ld9us that was of all who died, although I saw another NDE and this guy thought it was only 2.5%
Just remember this number could possibly change. and 3% of 8 billion population is still a lot of people but yeah its sad how many will perish =( Pray for as many as possible to be saved! Pray for me Brothers and Sisters and I'll pray for you may God have his Mercy on all of our souls

Watch Dominic Morrow's Hell testimony. If you don't believe in Hell, at least watch (or read the ebook) for the HORROR.
What do you do if it is your wife who has turned away from God, and any time you try and bring it up, she's angry? I'm not sure there is a benefit speaking of God in those circumstances.
Thank you for the video John! I have one great question,do the false teachers know they are false teachers and do they do what they do deliberately?
Lazarus was in flames and torment. The lake of fire has a glow to it. You’re wrong about black flames in hell it’ll be just a little bit or light around the person that’s in the flames so they can see that they’re burning so you’re wrong about black fire.
Amen!!!
Great talk, thank you. I am curious about as to why if he'll was not designed for God's children, why it is used as such? It is obvious for those that sin greatly, but what about our friends that don't make it their business to seek?
This is one teacher. Another that says most are wrong. This subject, a lot of scriptural studies have been on.
You don't dictate where souls reside ,you are a sinner like us all, better place? Only the Lord knows, your haughty and pious.
Someone has to tell the truth.
At 16:38, Brother John mentions no light in Hell. That is true. However, his definition of "light" seems to be a bit off. There is, in fact, fire in Hell -- if you've gone camping, you'll have noticed just how dark your campsite is. You'll also have noticed the contrast of your campfire with the surrounding darkness of the campsite.
Frim what ive read in the bible and from the testimonials ive watch i think hell is both a real place as well as a state of being
Some people think their priest has the keys to heaven, so when the day they die, the priest will open up heaven for you to go through. What a lie from the pit of hell.
I thought, once saved, always saved…
Matthew 7:13-14 "Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it."
John 10:9 Jesus speaking: "I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture."
John 14:6 "Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."
Jeremiah 10:23 "O LORD, I know the way of a man is not in himself; it is not in man who walks to direct his own steps."
Psalm 37:23-24 "The steps of a good man are *ordered by the Lord, and He delights in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; for the LORD upholds him with His hand."
* ordered is translated from the Hebrew word, 'kun', which means ~ appointed, determined, firmly established, perfected... what a faithful, loving God!
We can't even walk His path without the Lord establishing our path, but we must be obedient to Him. ❤
I write this only because it took me so long to discover what Jesus meant by 'narrow gate', but when I started praying for the Holy Spirit to teach me truth as I open the Word each day, He responded abundantly and favorably.
The Word without the Spirit is information, the Spirit without the Word is inspiration, but together, they bring transformation and creation. ❤
Don’t use a corrupted bible. It’s not DIFFICULT to life but Strait. Use a KJV bible to read the truth of the Word.
People - if at all. Give title to the Lord, but never give over their lives to Him. They’re still running off their Will - not His.
20:36-25:36
What does it mean to work out your salvation with fear and trembling❓
22:00-23:00
I've seen hell not much to see really just pitch black and the souls are not in fire but the fire is in them.
Praise God for such an amazing word. But why mention Rockets going to the moon when it was faked in a Hollywood studio.
If a teacher is not correcting people, would they be seen as a false teacher.
So if a teacher of the Word says that she only love people not correcting them, would they be in line
I have a request. I often listen when I'm driving and can't make notes about your scripture references. Would it be too much trouble to add that to the description box?
John is there a church you recommend in Denver CO?
Do you seriously believe they really went to the moon? How can you be so anointed and close to God and not see things🙁
❤❤❤preach!!!
How is it that a random sinner on the street is put off because God sends people to hell, and yet somehow the host says he's the only one preaching on hell and that it isn't preached on enough?
Why don't GOD speak to all of us from HEAVEN like he did when he spoke when JOHN baptized JESUS ❓ There are so many pastors, ministers, scholars, bishops, preachers, etc telling us what GOD says. I want to hear from GOD from GOD.
Yes! Do not always trust and accept the words of men. It is not the words of men that save men's souls... But the Word of God.
As fallen mankind, we are warned that we should not trust in our own understandings.
Search the Scriptures. SEEK TRUTH. Pray for wisdom and discernment. There-in the Word of God will come....
Know that the wages of sin is DEATH.. Not 'eternal hell-fire'. Those who are not saved will PERISH. Consider my post above for explanation and clear Scripture.
LOL, Jesus did NOT talk about hell more than he talked about heaven. It's not even remotely close, either.
Hades is mentioned 8 times by Jesus, Hell or Gehenna 11 times and the place of gnashing of teeth 11 times.
Even if you combine Gehenna (the lake of fire), the place of gnashing of teeth and Hades(Sheol, the Grave) you get a total of 30 mentions. Not even CLOSE to the 128 times Heaven is mentioned in 128 verses of the Gospels.
He talks about Heaven 4 TIMES more than he does about the grave OR the lake of fire.
You probably can't even define hell, accurately.
Linguistically, hell is closest to hades, which would just be the grave, and it's where people go when they die.
Theologically, it's used in a manner that would be closer to Gehenna, or the Lake of Fire, which is the final punishment and destination for the wicked, which doesn't happen until AFTER the Millennial Reign. Nobody is burning in the lake of fire now.
This is where most Christians mess up what hell is. They think it's simultaneously the lake of fire the final fate of the wicked, but ALSO where people go right when they die(hades). You have to pick one, because they aren't the same.
We can thank the awful KJV for this confusion as they translate Sheol, Hades, Gehenna and Tartarus as Hell.
Hades (or hell) gets thrown into the lake of fire and is destroyed along with death and the wicked.
But regardless, Hell and the Lake of Fire are not the same, AT ALL.
Actually, if you could question those who are in the place where the rich man was, I don't think the name of it would make a difference in their suffering.
@@jeromepopiel388 Clearly you didn't read the post. It's NOT just about the name. They are VERY different places and even when you combine them it's a fraction of the time Jesus talked about heaven.
Now you would THINK you'd actually care about someone blaspheming Jesus by claiming he emphasized something WAY more than he actually did. Even worse, claims the exact OPPOSITE of what Jesus emphasized.
As to the rich man, it's a parable, and obviously so, as IF it were about what happens when we die, Jesus would be contradicting himself, Paul, John and the Old Testament. Even worse the whole story is absolutely absurd, if you try to take it literally. Actually, it's quite horrific for EVERYONE (even those in heaven) if it's to be taken literally.
Do you HONESTLY think we can converse with people in "hell"? If so, then that would mean we can CERTAINLY hear their screams. IMAGINE hearing the screams of BILLIONS of souls in agony. Which brings up ANOTHER problem with a literal interpretation of the story. It's bad enough to believe they could converse across the impassable chasm, but to think they could then converse over the cacophony of BILLIONS of screaming souls, is BEYOND ridiculous.
But taking the parable literally has led to some horrific theology. After the Gnosticism of the Greeks and the Plato's pagan belief of hte immortality of the soul infiltrated the church, some church "heroes" of the 3rd and 4th century, like Augustine, actually tried to answer the serious problem this parable presents, IF taken literally. Mainly, how are we to enjoy heaven IF we can hear the screams of the damned for all eternity. The answer? The joys of heaven will be all the more exquisite when contrasted with the screams of those in agony in hell.
EXCUSE ME? But only a demonically possessed psychopath could actually get pleasure from hearing the screams of those in horrifying agony.
Also, IF this is to be taken literally and a story about heaven and hell and the afterlife, then WHAT is the point of the story? WHAT in the world did Lazarus do to get saved? Does just being poor and destitute get you to heaven? Many answered that absurd question with a yes. By taking this parable literally, what else are you to glean from it other than the fact that being poor is somehow inherently righteous?
As to the rich man, OK, he wasn't generous enough. If THAT'S all it takes you to get to hell, then we are ALL going there. We are ALL surrounded by the poor and unfortunately, if you tithe or not, we ALL have more money we could give to the hungry right in our own backyards. So, we are ALL the rich man in that we deny those in desperate need, that we choose to ignore and not feed or cloth or house.
The Parable had nothing to do with any of that. To discern ANY parable you have to know who it was spoken to, who was it about, and what message was He trying to convey to them.
In this case it was TO the Pharisees. Literally RIGHT before He gave this parable, Luke mentions the pharisees were mocking him because they were lovers of money. They also believed that those who were rich were favored by God, those who were poor and diseased were cursed by God. This led to a lot of self-righteousness and a completely false perception of where they REALLY stood with God.
So lo and behold, Jesus goes into a story about a rich man who ends up in a bad place and a poor man who ends up in a good place.
Jesus gives the detail that the rich man had 5 brothers, a completely meaningless detail for the story, unless you realize Judah (the only tribe left of Israel) had 5 full blood brothers, plus Caiaphas who was the High Priest at the time who sentenced Jesus to death, also lived in his father in laws house with the 5 sons of the father in law. This was Jesus shining the spotlight right into their eyes.
The rich man calls Abraham his Father. Earlier in Luke John told the Pharisees not to brag about being sons of Abraham as God can raise up children to Abraham from rocks. Jesus also told them Abraham wasn't their father, but Satan was.
Lazarus represented the gentiles as he was outside the gate. longing for crumbs from the table of the rich man. This was an analogy of the gentiles starving for the riches of the word of God that the Jews had, but they didn't share with the Gentiles.
So Jesus was warning them that the riches of the gospel and even the kingdom of heaven were about to be handed over to the gentiles and the Jews would be the ones n the outside starving for the word of God and they would be the ones in torment. Shortly after they crucified Jesus, Jerusalem was literally burned to the ground. The Jews were dispersed and have been persecuted ever since, including the horrific fiery holocaust where MILLIONS of them would be burned in the ovens. So the rich man being in fiery torment was a pretty accurate description of their coming judgment.
Finally, in the parable, Lazarus is NOT raised up, as Abraham promises the rich man that his brothers(the Pharisees) had the LAW and the PROPHETS already (two more details to clearly link the rich man to the Jewish people) and would NOT repent even if someone were raised from the dead.
Yet in the real-world Jesus DOES raise up a man named Lazarus and just as Jesus predicted in the parable, not only would they not believe, they actually sought to KILL both Lazarus and Jesus.
The whole parable is a direct condemnation of the Pharisees and the Jewish people.
So well said. This is one of only 2 or 3 informed comments on this whole video!
There is so much pervasive terrible theology around Hell.
@@cryptojihadi265 But clearly you didn't read the parable carefully enough to notice that it is not speaking of heaven, but "Abraham's bosom", which was a place also under the earth, but above Hades.
So no, those in heaven are not aware of those in hell.
Also, the shoah was not a judgement of the Jews, but it took place at the time in order that the nation of Israel would be reborn according to prophecy.
Btw, Jews were not burned alive, but were gassed. I have personally seen the gas chambers.
Wow. Thanks for restoring my faith in the truth. People eat that lie up and never even bother to question it.
Is God unjust for sending people to hell? 🔥
Jesus was setting up the Jewish people by using the name Lazarus because he would use his friend Larazus as an example of one who died and came back but people still would not listen. If you pa attention to the parable you will realize that the richman was not give a second chance to go back and witness yet Jesus would have so much compassion on Israel that he would raise one from the dead and send back showing more mercy in real life than what was shown in the parable. Also he waited until lazazus was beyond return, in Jewish culture they believed the soul lingered around fr 3 days and after three days the soul would go to its eternal rest. Remember even Elijah and Elisha had accounts of resurrecting people so they believed that death was only permanent after 3 days.Hinting that Lazarus came back either from the place of the damned or Abrahams bossom
A pastor who states that the unrepentant is in a better place should be fired as a false teacher. This is a lie from the pit of hell and the small comfort it provides allows and encourages others to keep their godless lifestyle whether they are "good" and "kind" people otherwise. They are still lost and headed for hell. " None is righteousness. No not one." Apart from Christ and His atoning sacrifice, we are doomed to judgement and eternity apart from God.
When you die, you go to hades, not hell. People go to hell after judgment day. I know because I died already. When you die as a disciple you go to the garden of Eden to wait for Jesus to take you to heaven. I can prove this to you in the Bible if you want. Reach out God bless you, I love what you are doing for the kingdom of God...
Where in the c Bible it says that. So I can read for myself
@tinamariestovall5321 I apologize, I didn't know who was asking the question. So, as I already explained to you in my first response. Jesus said he was going to spend 3 days and 3 nights in the heart of the earth Matthew 12:40. So Jesus was in earth core for 3 days and 3 nights . The Lord said to the thief on his right today you will be in paradise with me. Luke 23:43 so where is paradise located? In the heart of the earth. This is the reason why the Bible says that the earth will give up the dead. It's not talking about the physical body, because the physical body decompose after 6 months to a year. It's talking about the souls. Now get ready for this. Why did God place cherubim in the east side of the Garden of Eden? To prevent Adam and Eve from eating from the tree of Life. Genesis 3:24 now Look what Jesus said in Revelation 2:7 he will give you the right to eat from the tree of life that is in the paradise of God. The tree of life was in the Garden of Eden. You very well know the garden was paradise. Please don't delete this response. The reason I know all this is because I'm a disciple of Jesus who already died. God bless you
All of America did not turn to God during The Awakening
It's been said that only about 25% of people in churches will end up in heaven... The other 75% have been led to hell by the RELIGIOUS belief systems of the collective teachings of the machine. It's the cult of everything "Christianese" except total surrender to Jesus Christ. It's Jesus in us and through us that's the hope of glory.
🩸 Most Christians have departed from the faith🩸
Romans 3 KJV 🩸
25 Whom God hath set forth _to be_ a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
1 Timothy 4 KJV
1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
Twice dead: dead in body and soul.
I want to thank you for spreading the gospel in your ministry and this is no way a personal jab at you, but the GNT has the worst translation of Matt 7:13-14. Jesus was not talking about the road to hell being “easy” or the way to life being “hard”. He is definitely talking about the way to destruction being “broad” and the way to life being “constricted”. These changes in the translations have a profound impact on how the reader interprets what Jesus said. The GNT goes the way of finding life through meritocracy of our works. It’s signaling the road to life is hard bc we have to work everyday to stay the narrow course to find it. That’s not what Jesus is implying. I truly believe He is saying the way is constricted, not hard, bc there is only one way to life and that is thru Him, alone.
The deceivers that walked on the road to life and went astray have no mention they were actually believers. They could have been “on the road” thru listening to the gospel but have rejected it and leading believers to doubt their faith in Christ alone, driven by their sinful self righteousness. Their unbelief led them to destruction. They never walked thru the narrow gate which is faith in Christ, alone.
To conclude, if we strive to find the narrow gate, but the way that leads to it is “hard”, then we become discouraged and have no assurance that we ever will find the narrow gate. It’s not hard. It’s just constricted to only one way; Christ Jesus. The way of the Law is hard and impossible. It wearies us bc it’s a constant reminder we fall short of God’s Glory. Trust in Him that fulfilled the Law. For this is what he said, Matthew 11:28-30
New American Standard Bible
28 “Come to Me, all [a]who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find [b]rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is comfortable, and My burden is light
Jesus is the narrow gate
Amen 🕊️⚔️
Slightly disagree with this teaching, God is omnipresent, even in hell, those in hell will still be in the presence of God, it will just be under His righteous and just judgement
Why would Gods presence be in hell and the lake of fire for eternity? That’s a wild statement.
They have chosen to reject God. Therefore they will spend eternity without him.
No! The translation of hell is absence from God.
Uh Rev 14:10?
Why arent ALL churches warning of hell way more then not covering it/discussing it at all? John why dont you invite pastors to discuss hell on your podcast and how they are commited to warning the people about hell?
Yes I believe there is a hell. He’ll was and is made for the devil and his fallen angels. There are people that are there in hell because they did not accept the redemption that Jesus died for. They are there in hell FOREVER! That means for all eternity! Please accept Jesus as your savior today . Jesus said what profit a man if he gains the whole world but loses his soul? In psalms chapter 1 verse 5 from the passion bible , the wicked will not endure the day of judgment for god will not defend them.
Greek manuscripts had no punctuation. If we read 1 Corinthians 15:22-25
"For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive, but each one in his own order: Christ, the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ's coming, then comes the end when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power. For He must reign till He has put all enemies under His feet."
I believe the saints that Jesus resurrected from their graves on the Day He rose from the dead and delivered them to the Father, some of which are the 24 elders before the throne.
They were not raised immortal yet and had to die again. The 24 elders are not human, but have been with God from the beginning as Melchizedek was although he may actually be one of the elders.
Guys consider, he left his body in Heaven to become a human- then those who Christ knows, will get a new body in heaven… but the Savior stays in his human body forever? Man is the least of all them God has created. 🤦♂️ Bless that man Jesus.
To be eternally redeemed (Hebrews 9:12), believe you have eternal life by the grace of Jesus Christ, NOT by your own righteousness, which is of the law (John 3:16, 1 John 5:10-13, Acts 15:11, Romans 3:19-28, Romans 9:29-10:6, Philippians 3:9, John 5:24, Hebrews 10:10-14, 2 Timothy 4:18).
Every hell verse Jesus said was hyperbole.
There is no hell doctrine in the Old Testament.
Mankind is under Adam’s curse but Jesus’s death nullifies that curse completely.
Where sin abounds grace abounds all the more.
Jesus never once said "hell". He spoke of a valley of Hinnon where people see dead corpses )from last verse of Isaiah) and hades where souls are preserved until final judgement. See Edward Fudge, Doug Batchelor, read Four Views of Hell.. Bevere lies about hell for Jesus never used this word.
Hell is the place of the future punishment called "Gehenna" or "Gehenna of fire". This was originally the valley of Hinnom, south of Jerusalem, where the filth and dead animals of the city were cast out and burned; a fit symbol of the wicked and their future ...
Seven Day Adventist don't have the same view on he'll.
I would suggest you do your own research. It helped me.
Go back and read the parable of Lazarus and the Rich man.
Ok wise guy 🙄
@@araenasanchez that takes place in Hades, not Gehena. It's therefore BEFORE the final judgement/ final punishment. If you want more proof - the rich man's brothers are still alive on the earth! Therefore this passage is practically irrelevant to the nature of the final judgement.
Your boys sound alike.
HELL IS REAL ,IF WERE NOT WHAT’S THE POINT OF JESUS CHRIST DYING ON THE CROSS FOR??? WHY HE DIED FOR US?
HE CAME TO SAVE US RIGHT? SAVE US FROM WHAT ??? HELLLL
Hell is THE GRAVE... Yes, DEATH is very real. More specifically THE SECOND DEATH. (look this up!)
Hell is that we PERISH. Read John 3:16... God sent his only son to die on the cross, THAT WE MIGHT NOT PERISH..
The lake of fire was prepared for Satan and his demons, who ARE eternal beings. WE, do not yet, have an eternal soul.
