This book was released on 2019-08-22 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This "Story of Rich Man and Lazarus: Hell and Heaven Described in Their Own Words" book is about the lives of a rich man and a homeless man and what happened to them in eternity after their respective deaths. This first-person account is based on "a certain rich man" and "a certain beggar named Lazarus" story, which Jesus Christ shared with His disciples in the Holy Bible's Gospel of Luke (16:19-31). In Chapter 1, I describe how the rich man, "A Certain Rich Man," dressed, what he owned, who he socialized with, where he socialized, how he recreated, where he recreated, how his life was centered around himself, his sins, how he rejected the LORD and how he died. In Chapter 2, I describe how Lazarus, "A Certain Homeless Man," dressed, how he survived as a homeless man on the street, his poor choices, how a miraculous incident which caused Lazarus to finally rededicate his life to Jesus Christ and how he died. In Chapter 3, I describe what the "Tormented Sinner" saw, what he feels/experiences in hell and the unspeakable agonies he suffers there, such as being separated from God's presence. In Chapter 4, I describe what the "Comforted Saint" saw, what he feels/experiences in Heaven and the indescribable peace he experiences there, such as being warmed by God's presence. This book is a story sharing with readers where not to go (hell) after death, where to go (Heaven) after dying, and how to get there (salvation through Jesus Christ).
Download or read book Rethinking Hell written by Christopher Date and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2014-04-15 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most evangelical Christians believe that those people who are not saved before they die will be punished in hell forever. But is this what the Bible truly teaches? Do Christians need to rethink their understanding of hell? In the late twentieth century, a growing number of evangelical theologians, biblical scholars, and philosophers began to reject the traditional doctrine of eternal conscious torment in hell in favor of a minority theological perspective called conditional immortality. This view contends that the unsaved are resurrected to face divine judgment, just as Christians have always believed, but due to the fact that immortality is only given to those who are in Christ, the unsaved do not exist forever in hell. Instead, they face the punishment of the "second death"--an end to their conscious existence. This volume brings together excerpts from a variety of well-respected evangelical thinkers, including John Stott, John Wenham, and E. Earl Ellis, as they articulate the biblical, theological, and philosophical arguments for conditionalism. These readings will give thoughtful Christians strong evidence that there are indeed compelling reasons for rethinking hell.

Download or read book Her Gates Will Never Be Shut written by Brad Jersak and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everlasting hell and divine judgment, a lake of fire and brimstone--these mainstays of evangelical tradition have come under fire once again in recent decades. Would the God of love revealed by Jesus really consign the vast majority of humankind to a destiny of eternal, conscious torment? Is divine mercy bound by the demands of justice? How can anyone presume to know who is saved from the flames and who is not? Reacting to presumptions in like manner, others write off the fiery images of final judgment altogether. If there is a God who loves us, then surely all are welcome into the heavenly kingdom, regardless of their beliefs or behaviors in this life. Yet, given the sheer volume of threat rhetoric in the Scriptures and the wickedness manifest in human history, the pop-universalism of our day sounds more like denial than hope. Mercy triumphs over judgment; it does not skirt it. Her Gates Will Never Be Shut endeavors to reconsider what the Bible and the Church have actually said about hell and hope, noting a breadth of real possibilities that undermines every presumption. The polyphony of perspectives on hell and hope offered by the prophets, apostles, and Jesus humble our obsessive need to harmonize every text into a neat theological system. But they open the door to the eternal hope found in Revelation 21-22: the City whose gates will never be shut; where the Spirit and Bride perpetually invite the thirsty who are outside the city to "Come, drink of the waters of life."
Download or read book Sheol Know written by Dirk Waren and published by Soaring Eagle Press. This book was released on 2024-02-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens to the soul & spirit of unsaved people when they die? This refers to anyone who has not experienced spiritual regeneration through the gospel, which includes Old Testament saints. The Bible shows that the souls of these people go to Sheol at the point of physical decease. Sheol in the Old Testament is synonymous with Hades in the New Testament. These souls will be resurrected from Sheol/Hades one day, according to Revelation 20:11-15, which is why Sheol is described as the "intermediate state" by theologians since it refers to the condition of unredeemed souls between physical death and later resurrection. So what's the state of souls in Sheol/Hades? Jesus Christ's Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus, if taken literally, suggests a conscious state wherein people either hang out in bliss with father Abraham or suffer constant fiery torment hoping for a mere drop of water for relief. SHEOL KNOW is an honest and thorough examination of the Scriptures to determine the precise nature of Sheol/Hades. Once you see what the God-breathed Scriptures fully say on the subject from Genesis to Revelation, and not just a single parable the Messiah told, you'll see the truth and "the truth shall set you FREE." This New Revised Edition is all-around superior to the original 2015 book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this ebook download of Walking in the Dust of Rabbi Jesus, Lois Tverberg challenges readers to follow their Rabbi more closely by reexamining his words in the light of their Jewish context. Doing so will provide a richer, deeper understanding of his ministry, compelling us to live differently, to become more Christ-like. We'll begin to understand why his first Jewish disciples abandoned everything to follow him, to live out his commands. Our modern society, with its individualism and materialism, is very different than the tight-knit, family-oriented setting Jesus lived and taught in. What wisdom can we glean from his Eastern, biblical attitude toward life? How can knowing Jesus within this context shed light on his teachings for us today? In Walking in the Dust of Rabbi Jesus we'll journey back in time to eavesdrop on the conversations that arose among the rabbis of Jesus' day, and consider how hearing Rabbi Jesus with the ears of a first-century disciple can bring new meaning to our faith. And we'll listen to Jewish thinkers through the ages, discovering how ideas that germinated in Jesus' time have borne fruit. Doing so will yield fresh, practical insights for following our Rabbi's teachings from a Jewish point of view.

Download or read book The Skeletons in God s Closet written by Joshua Ryan Butler and published by HarperChristian + ORM. This book was released on 2014-10-21 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can a loving God send people to hell? Isn’t it arrogant to believe Jesus is the only way to God? What is up with holy war in the Old Testament? Many of us fear God has some skeletons in the closet. Hell, judgment, and holy war are hot topics for the Christian faith that have a way of igniting fierce debate far and wide. These hard questions leave many wondering whether God is really good and can truly be trusted. The Skeletons in God's Closet confronts our popular caricatures of these difficult topics with the beauty and power of the real thing. Josh Butler reveals that these subjects are consistent with, rather than contradictory to, the goodness of God. He explores Scripture to reveal the plotlines that make sense of these tough topics in light of God’s goodness. From fresh angles, Josh deals powerfully with such difficult passages as: The Lake of Fire Lazarus and the Rich Man The Slaughter of Canaanites in the Old Testament Ultimately, The Skeletons in God's Close uses our toughest questions to provoke paradigm shifts in how we understand our faith as a whole. It pulls the “skeletons out of God’s closet” to reveal they were never really skeletons at all.

Book excerpt: Hell is a hot topic! The Bible teaches that unredeemed people will stand before God on Judgment Day and those whose names are not found in the Book of Life will be cast into the lake of fire. The Bible calls this the "second death." What is the nature of this second death? Will these people suffer fiery torment forever and ever, as has been taught since the time of Augustine in the early 5th Century? Or will they be BURNED UP-literally destroyed forever with no hope of resurrection? And what about universalism, the idea that everyone will ultimately be saved? The author used to subscribe to the eternal torture doctrine until he honestly studied the Scriptures and discovered what they plainly teach on the subject-EVERLASTING DESTRUCTION. The biblical evidence is actually overwhelming! Read HELL KNOW and see for yourself. HELL KNOW has been a hit on the internet for years. This is the NEW REVISED EDITION (2016) with 26 pages of NEW MATERIAL.

Download or read book The Rich Man and Lazarus written by E. W. Bullinger and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-04-22 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: E. W. Bullinger's superb explanation of the processes of death and resurrection hold eternal value, making this book of supreme use to Christians. The famous parable of the Book of Luke, which this book is named after, is explained in full. In this story, the rich man suffers in flame after death for ignoring Lazarus a beggar at his gates. The beggar - who also dies - instead has a place in heaven. The rich man, repentant for ignoring the impoverished and sore-covered man, begs to be free of the agonizing hellfire. This famous depiction of the afterlife has been a topic of fascination for Christians. Eager to explain what the parable means, E. W. Bullinger analyzes both the words and elsewhere in the Biblical scriptures. He keenly differentiates between the afterlife and the resurrection, providing insight to believers who might otherwise have been mystified by these words. Additionally, this book represents an excellent examination of the New Testament; Bullinger, with a spiritual deftness only a lifelong commitment to preaching can infer, cites the poignant passages of scripture in support of his own words. Thus this text is a fine introduction to Bullinger's other written works which encompass many other Biblical topics. This edition contains the original text of the Bible, and is in large print for ease of comprehension by readers of all ages.
