The Biblical Doctrine of Hell #3: Hell is a Place Created by Jesus Christ Himself

Larry Wessels, director of Christian Answers of Austin, Texas/ Christian Debater (YouTube channel: CANSWERSTV; websites: BibleQuery.org, HistoryCart.com, & MuslimHope.com) reviews the Biblical doctrine of Hell with teaching elder & author Rob Zins, ThM of Dallas Theological Seminary. The entire one hour program can be seen on Google Video, search "Larry Wessels" on their homepage. Hell is one of the most unpopular doctrines in the Bible (only "predestination" may be a doctrine more unpopular than Hell). A definition of Hell is as follows, "An eternal furnace of fire both material & spiritual where the inhabitants of Hell are tortured in mind & body by God, by every rational being in the universe, & the damned themselves (their memories & lusts torture them as well as their own active consciences). The damned in Hell would give, if they could, the world & all that is in it to have the number of their sins reduced by one." The Bible contains 1800 verses directly attributed to Jesus & of that number 13% relate to the judgment of God & damnation in Hell. Half of all the parables that Jesus spoke in the Bible relate to judgment & damnation (in Hell). Hell is a PLACE of ETERNAL TORMENT & is described as: Everlasting Fire (Matt. 25:41, Matt. 13:49-50), Eternal Punishment (Matt. 25:46, Rev. 20:10), Outer Darkness (Matt. 8:12, Matt. 22:13, Jude 13), Everlasting Destruction (2 Thess. 1:9, 2 Thess. 2:10-12), Lake of Fire (Rev. 19:20, Rev. 20:14-15); Hell is PREPARED for: the Devil & his angels (Matt. 25:41, 2 Peter 2:4), Wicked Men & Women (Psalm 9:17, Rom. 2:5, Jude 7, Proverbs 6:12-7:27), Nations that Forget God (Psalm 9:17), Disobedient, Apostates (Rom. 2:8-9, Hebrews 6:4-8, 2 Peter 2:21-22), The Beast & the False Prophet (Rev. 19:20, Rev. 20:10), Rejectors of the Gospel of Christ (Matthew 10:15, 2 Thess 1:8-9, Galatians 1:6-9), Worshipers of the Beast (Rev. 14:11), Fake, self-deceived "Christians" (Matt 7:15-23, James 2:14-26), Adulterers, fornicators, drunks, etc. (1 Corinthians 5:9-10, Gal 5:19-21, Ephesians 5:3-5), Those hated by God (Psalm 11:5-7, Psalm 5:4-6). Punishment in Hell is described as: Eternal (Isaiah 33:14, Rev 14:10, Rev 20:10), Bodily (Matthew 5:29-30), In the Soul (Matt 10:28, Luke 12:4-5), With Degrees (Matt 23:14, Luke 20:47, Mark 12:40, John 19:11), Unchangeable (Luke 16:22-31, Isaiah 40:8, Malachi 3:6); Inhabitants of Hell: Possess Memory (Luke 16:23,25, Isaiah 14:9-10, Matt 12:41-42, Cry for Release from Hell, Weeping (Luke 16:24, Matt 8:12, Matt 13:41-42), Cannot Escape from God (Psalm 139:8, Amos 9:1-4, Jeremiah 23:23-33).

@Awake4Truth You may not know how to spell & you may be ignorant of the Bible about hell but you're right that you'll get nowhere with me. We've been dealing with false prophets like you for 30 years. Since our ministry specializes in false religions & cults (many deny what hell is just like you, particularly the Jehovah's Witnesses - type "LARRY WESSELS JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES" in the YOUTUBE search box & see what you get). Instead of this 10 minute clip watch our 4 hour series on hell on YOUTUBE.

[Awake4Truth]

@CAnswersTV Yeah so "Strong's Greek Dictionary of the New Testament" says that "Hades" is the "place [state] of departed souls." so that would still go with - Hades = Grave. I read the Bible as a whole, not just pick and choose what suits me. Jude 1:7 - as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. Cont...

@Awake4Truth You need to "awake" from all the lies you believe & rather believe what the Bible teaches or else you'll find out firsthand that hell & the "lake of fire" is a lot different than you think. Your arguments are the same as the Jehovah's Witnesses, Seventh-Day Adventists & other anti-Christ cults. "Strong's Greek Dictionary of the New Testament" says that "Hades" is the "place [state] of departed souls." See our website BIBLEQUERY ORG, click the "Experience" box & scroll down to Hell.

[Awake4Truth]

@CAnswersTV Sorry for the typo!!! You Sir would obviously be like talking to a brick wall, not willing to learn something that you may have wrong...

[CAnswersTV]

@Awake4Truth "PERISH" (if spelled correctly) from the Greek word "apollumi" means to "destroy." According to "Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words," page 304, the word "appollumi" means "to destroy utterly, the idea is not extinction but ruin, loss, not of being, but of well-being ... of the loss of well-being in the case of the unsaved hereafter ... John 3:16." Your "forever" argument is likewise worthless. See hell on our website BIBLEQUERY ORG & the description for this video.

[Awake4Truth]

@CAnswersTV Yes but maybe you should see what they mean when they say forever and ever in the bible. EG:

A THREE DAYS "FOR EVER"

1.Jonah said of his three days and nights in the Whale-"The earth with her bars was about me for ever."Jonah 2: 6.This is the shortest "for ever" text in the bible.

A LIFE TIME'S "FOR EVER"

2.The slave was to serve his master "for ever."Ex. 21:6.3.The bondman was to serve "for ever." Lev. 25:46.

In John 3:16 what does the word PREISH mean in the dictionary?!?!

[CAnswersTV]

@Awake4Truth Time is limited. Currently we have 358 videos posted on YOUTUBE & we're getting comments coming in from everywhere. The "Good News" about Hell is that those who have trusted Jesus Christ & repented from their sins based on this trust in the risen Saviour will be saved from Hell. The rest who have not will be thrown into the lake of fire suffering eternal torment forever (see our 4 hour video series on hell - this is just a 10 minute clip - type "LARRY WESSELS HELL" in YT search box.

@tonythatjesusloves That wasn't a very loving thing to say! Haven't you ever read 1 Corinthians 13? When dealing with people who refuse to believe what the Bible plainly teaches yet still claim to believe the Bible you must remember that people such as this are self-deceived. People such as yourself have no good Biblical argument & therefore resort to illogical name calling to prove no point but rather to rant their own ignorant frustration.
