Why would a God even need a hell?

[Mickiel]

Why would God need a hell, when he could punish people by putting them in a church; what better way to confuse them?

 

[kjw47]

Why would God need a hell, when he could punish people by putting them in a church; what better way to confuse them?

Confusion is the last thing they need. 99% live in it daily.

Its the way of life for now. And the church or religions cannot escape it.

 

[Mickiel]

Why would God solicit a religion to condemn us sinners?

 

[Book of Jeremiah]

A creature remaining at enmity against God must expect to dwell for ever with the devils in hell; where can it dwell but where other rebels are confined in chains?
Some have staggered over the doctrine of eternal punishment, because they could not see how that could be consistent with God’s goodness. I have only one question to ask concerning that or any other doctrine,
—Does God reveal it in the Scriptures?

Then, I believe it, and leave to him the vindication of his own consistency.
-Charles Spurgeon

 

[Book of Jeremiah]

The eternity of punishment is a thought which crushes the heart.
You have buried the man but you have not buried his sins. His sins live, and are immortal; they have gone before him to judgment, or they will follow after him to bear their witness as to the evil of his heart and the rebellion of his life.

The Lord is slow to anger, but when he is once aroused to it, as he will be against those who finally reject his Son, he will put forth all his omnipotence to crush his enemies. “Consider this,” saith he, “ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.” It will be no trifle to fall into the hands of the living God. He will by no means clear the guilty. For ever must his anger burn. We have nothing in Scripture to warrant the hope that God’s wrath against evil doers will ever come to an end. Oh, the wrath to come! The wrath
to come! The wrath which after ages and ages will still be to come, and still to come, and still to come! - Charles Spurgeon

It needs a whole eternity to set forth, in hell, all the justice of God in the punishment of sin. - Charles Spurgeon

Habits Through Hell

 

[Book of Jeremiah]

He speaks of the “fire that never shall be quenched.” Now, do not begin telling me that that is metaphorical fire: who cares for that? If a man were to threaten to give me a metaphorical blow on the head, I should care very little about it; he would be welcome to give me as many as he pleased. And what say the wicked? “We do not care about metaphorical fires.” But they are real, sir—yes, as real as yourself. There is a real fire in hell, as truly as you have now a real body—a fire exactly like that which we have on earth in everything except this—that it will not consume, though it will torture you.

You have seen the asbestos lying in the fire red hot, but when you take it out it is unconsumed. So your body will be prepared by God in such a way that it will burn for ever without being consumed; it will lie, not as you consider, in metaphorical fire, but in actual flame. - Charles Spurgeon

Habits Through Hell

 

[Book of Jeremiah]

Habits Through Hell

Sinners in hell are not the fools they were on earth; in hell they do not laugh at
everlasting burnings; in the pit they do not despise the words, “eternal fire.” The worm that never dieth, when it is gnawing, gnaws out all joke and laughter; you may despise God now, and despise me now for what I say, but death will change your note.

So will it be with any of you who have ridiculed the gospel of Christ, you will find in the great and terrible day of the Lord, that your laughter shall have no power over death, and win you no reprieve from the agonies of hell. There will be no room for infidelity in that tremendous day. God will be all too real to you when he tears you in pieces, and there is none to deliver; and the judgment will be all too real when the thunder claps shall wake the dead, and the books shall be opened and read by the blaze of lightning, and the sentence shall be pronounced, “Depart, ye cursed!” - Charles Spurgeon

 

[Book of Jeremiah]

Remember, you can be laughed into hell, but you can never be laughed out of it.
-Charles Spurgeon

 

[Book of Jeremiah]

I am not like yon flatterers who tell you that there is a little hell and a little God,
from which you naturally infer that you may live as you like. Both you and they will perish everlastingly if you believe them. There is a dreadful hell, for there is a righteous God. - Charles Spurgeon

 

[Book of Jeremiah]

There is a place where there is a dreadful prayer-meeting every day, and every hour in the day; a prayer-meeting where all the attendants pray,—not merely one, but all; and they pray, too, with sighs, and groans, and tears; and yet they are never heard. That prayer-meeting is in hell. There is a begging meeting there, indeed. Oh, that there were on earth half the prayer there will be there! Oh, that the tears shed in eternity had but been shed in time! Oh, that the agony that the lost ones now feel had but been felt beforehand! Oh, that they had repented ere their life was ended!
Oh, that their hearts had been made tender before the terrible fire of judgment had melted them! - Charles Spurgeon

No human ministry ever gave such graphic and harrowing descriptions of hell as Christ has given. You say you believe the words of Jesus; you do not suspect a loving Saviour of exaggeration.

Oh, my hearers, I ask you now in the name of God, if it be true, why do ye not believe it? You do not believe it; that is clear enough. Would you sit quietly in your seat this morning, young man, if you really believed that in one instant you may be in hell? Old man, old in years and old in sin, would you be as quiet in your soul to-day as you are if you knew and believed that there is but a step between you and the flames? - Charles Spurgeon

23 Minutes In Hell

 

[Book of Jeremiah]

Those who are evermore making light of hell are probably doing it in the hope of making it easy for themselves. - Charles Spurgeon

 

[Book of Jeremiah]

The worst sort of clever men are those who know better than the Bible and are so learned that they believe that the world had no Maker, and that men are only
monkeys with their tails rubbed off. - Charles Spurgeon

Speak of evolution,—here it is,—“When lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.” Darkness never begets light, filth never creates purity, hell never yields heaven, and depravity never produces grace. - Charles Spurgeon

Escapism Through Eyeservice

 

[Book of Jeremiah]

Everybody believes in infallibility somewhere. A Romanist believes in an infallible Pope, and a great philosopher believes in his infallible self; he knows that he is right. I believe in this infallible Book, and in the infallible God; and I ask any of you, who are troubled, and worried, and tossed to and fro because of what some heretic or skeptic has said, to “walk in the light of the Lord,” and to be perfectly satisfied as to the revelation he has given us in his Word.
- Charles Spurgeon

Bible Reality Check--A Case Against Hell

 

[Book of Jeremiah]

IONYSIUS the tyrant king of Syracuse, was pronounced by Damocles the flatterer, the happiest man on earth. The king, in order to convince him of his mistake, invited Damocles to a banquet, and caused him to be robed and treated as a sovereign. During the entertainment, a sword hung suspended by a single horsehair from the ceiling, over the head of Damocles; and thus was typified the happiness of a tyrant.

Unconverted sinner, behold thyself in the above picture. Thou fanciest that thou art happy. Ah! thou art woefully deceiving thyself. Thy pleasures are short in duration! Thou art clothed in borrowed garments of vanity, and art seated at the banquet table of thy pleasures, with the sword of Divine judgment suspended over thine head by a slender thread. (See Ecclesiastes 9:9, and Luke 12:16, 21.)

Any moment thou mayest be cut down by the hand of death, and be hurried all unprepared before the judgment seat of Christ. Oh! be no longer blinded; but turn thine eyes upward and see thy danger. Know that thou art a sinner: "for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." (Rom. 3:23.)

As a sinner thou art already condemned. The curse of God hangs over thee, and in a moment thou mayest be in hell. Turn off thine eyes from sin and self, and look unto Jesus, who is now both able and willing to save even thee if thou believest on him.

When the sinner believes in the Lord Jesus Christ, he is made by sovereign grace a king and a priest unto God. He is arrayed in "the best robe," the imputed righteousness of Christ. He is enabled by faith to sit down at the King's "banquetting" table, whereon are spread the dantiest dishes, and a feast of wine. Instead of the flaming sword of justice, the "banner" of Jesus' "love" hangs "over" his head. (Canticles 2:4; Isa. 25:6; Luke 15:22, 23; Rev. 1:6.)

Such is the royal provision made by the Jehovah of hosts for every poor and needy sinner, who by simple clinging faith, trusts in his dear Son, whose "precious blood" cleanses the vilest from all sin. May infinite love glorify itself by admitting you to the marriage-feast of glory.

Reality--God set before all--Life or death--nothing else-Duet 30:19-- both are everlasting.

Only 144,000 are bought from the earth( Rev 14:3) to rule as kings and priests alongside of Jesus --these are the anointed, the bride of Christ= the little flock( Luke 12:32)-- the great multitude will remain on earth. Prov 2:21-22-- Matt 24:22
