"Does God really teach us to "LOVE OUR ENEMIES" while God Himself "HATES OUR LOVED ONES" by destroying most of them for all eternity?" - L. Ray Smith (from: "Lake of Fire" series at http://bible-truths.com )

"For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach because we trust in the living God, Who is the Saviour of ALL MEN, ESPECIALLY of those THAT BELIEVE" - I Tim. 4:10.

"And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, COME OUT OF HER MY PEOPLE, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues" (Rev. 18:2-4).

"Do you have even the slightest clue as to what you are reading? WHO is it that God says should come out of this great Babylon? Is it the atheists? The heathens? The unbelievers? NO. Lets read it again: "Come out of her MY PEOPLE"! It is GODS PEOPLE who are in this great Whore (remember a "woman" is the symbol for a "church" in Scripture) whom God commands to "COME OUT OF HER."

"The God of our Lord Jesus Christ and the God of the Scriptures is going to show the world just how far from the Truths of Scripture this Church has departed. I give simple to understand proof from the Scriptures that utterly destroys this "eternal torture in fire" doctrine, and people despise me for writing the Truths and making them known for all to read. It is a simple matter once someone has done all the research to prove conclusively that there is no such term as "everlasting punishment" in any Greek Manuscript used to translate our modern language Bibles. " -L. Ray Smith (From the article "You Fools! You Hypocrites! You Snakes!" at http://bible-truths.com )

"Christianity began as a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. When it went to Athens, it became a philosophy. When it went to Rome, it became an organization. When it went to Europe, it became a culture. When it came to America, it became a business."

'Hell knows no fury like a Christian who has been shown the Truth."

Emails to Ray:

DEAR RAY,
I respect your view of the Bible, however i can not help but wonder when you say GOD knew when he made man and satan he already knew they would fail, and man would suffer sickness, pain, hardship, etc. WHEN THE BIBLE SAY GOD IS LOVE.

THANKS, RB.


Dear RB:
How does the fact that God is love contradict the fact that God knew exactly what Adam and Satan would do beginning in the garden? Okay, let's have it your way and believe that God DID NOT know that His creation, Adam, would sin. And that He DID NOT know that things would get so messy as they have. And that He DID NOT know that such a thing as sickness, pain, and hardship would ever come on the scene. And that God DID NOT "know the beginning from the end" (Isa. 46:10), and that He LIED when He stated that He does know. . And that God therefore LIED when He tells us that He has the ability to "count things that ARE NOT, as though they ARE" (Rom. 4:17). And that He LIED when we are told in Scripture that "God cannot lie" (Titus 1:2).

Does THAT unscriptural nonsense and approach make you feel better about God and the present affairs of mankind?

How is it that God knew so many detailed facts regarding the need for grace to save mankind from his sins "BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD" if God did not know, and did not plan and prepare for these things, (I Cor. 2:7; Eph. 1:4; II Tim. 1:9; I Pet. 1:20)?

God be with you,
Ray


Ray, I have a question about the scripture that says, strait is the gate that leads to life everlasting and few there be that find it, but broad is the way that leads to destruction and many will go there in at. How can we believe all of humanity will have life eternal unless we take this verse out of the Bible? maybe I need to hear your interpretation of this verse because we both know there is no contradictions in the WORD of GOD.
please respond

John

Dear John:
I guess I have probably answered this question at least a hundred times by now.
Being "destroyed" has absolutely nothing to do with the eternal destiny of a person.
Everyone dies by some means. The church teaches that if one dies before he is "saved," then he will never ever be saved. Well, the Church LIES!

Even the RIGHTEOUS "perish" (Isa. 57:1). Are the perished righteous people also to find themselves in an eternal hell of torture?

The words "destruction," "perish," and "lost" in the Gree New Testament all are translated from the same ONE Greek word "apollumi." And Jesus came to SAVE those which are "apollumi"--"For the Son of man is come to SAVE that which is [apollumi] LOST" (Matt. 18:11). Most of humanity will be saved in Judgment, not in this life. Read my Lake of Fire series for the details.

God be with you,

Ray
