Revelation 20:12-15, “And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.”
Dear reader, you are a FOOL if you deny that a literal Hell exists—with actual burning fire where all the wicked throughout human civilization (who die in their sins without Christ) will spend eternity suffering day and night without hope, rest or relief.
That being said, speaking of fools, former Hollywood actor turning evangelist Kirk Cameron announced this week that he no longer believes in a literal Hell. Sadly, the cult of Seventh-Day Adventism (who also deny that Hell exists) are singing praises to Kirk Cameron.
The Bible has more to say about Hell than Heaven. Only a fool assumes that Hell is a myth. Only a darn fool assumes that Hell in the Bible is only symbolic of death. Jesus tells the true story in Luke 16:19-31 of Lazarus And The Rich Man who both died. Angels came to escort Lazarus to his eternal abode; but the rich died in his sleep and suddenly woke up in Hell, suffering in torments of fire. We know this is NOT a parable for a few reasons:
- Jesus uses proper nouns (Abraham and Lazarus). Jesus never used proper nouns; such as people's names. When telling a parable, Jesus always spoke in vague terms (e.g., a certain man went into a far country). In this true story He is being specific.
- Jesus announced when He was going to tell a parable, which He doesn't do here.
- Jesus explained His parables afterwards, which He doesn't do here.
- Jesus would be guilty of misrepresenting the truth if He wasn't being literal. John 14:2, “In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.”
Contrary to Kirk Cameron's heretical view of annihilation upon death, the inspired Holy Bible says that the rich man existed in the afterlife, and he was suffering in horrific pain and misery...
Luke 16:19-23, “There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.”
In sharp contrast to Jehovah's Witnesses, Seventh-Day Adventists and Kirk Cameron, the Holy Bible warns that there is a literal PLACE called Hell, where all Christ-rejecters will burn in fire and brimstone (sulfur) for ever and ever (Revelation 21:8).
Kirk Cameron Teaches Heresy About Hell
No one is partying in Hell. It will be the most horrifying place imaginable, and knowing that even after one billion years, it's not even the beginning, will be most horrifying of all. For billions and trillions of years, you will quench for a drop of water, but won't find any.
Re:14:10-11, “The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.”
I'm not going to risk my eternal soul by going against God's Word. I got saved in 1980 as a 13 year old young man because I was afraid of burning in Hell. Fearing Hell is a perfectly fine reason to come to Jesus Christ for eternal life. John 6:47, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.”
Kirk Cameron has radically changed his views in recent months for the worse. If you take the Holy Bible at face value, then you must concede that there is a literal place called Hell that burns with real fire and real pain and suffering. If God allows suffering in this earthly life, there is no reason to assume that there won't be suffering in the afterlife for the wicked.
Psalms 9:17, “The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.” Some skeptical Hell-deniers will say that the Hebrew word Sheol for “Hell” in this passage only means “grave.” The Hebrew meaning of Sheol is “the realm of the dead,” which does not exclude Heaven or Hell, nor does it suggest annihilation either.
If Hell is merely the grave, then this Bible passage makes absolutely no sense. What would be the significance of warning that the wicked shall be turned into Hell, if the righteous and the wicked go to the same place? Clearly, the inspired Word of God implies that the wicked do not go to the same place in the afterlife as the righteous.
