Daily Devotional, Year 2 – APRIL 28

Eternal Torment,

.

Part 21:

“Did Jesus Get Off Too Easy?”

.

So why does this devotional have such an outrageous title?

.

Why do we dare use the title, “Did Jesus Get Off Too Easy?”

.

Because, if indeed this ancient church-doctrine which men have named, “Eternal Torment” is true, then Jesus really had it far too easy!

.

.

.

.

.

ETERNAL TORMENT REQUIRES ETERNAL PAYMENT 

.

And why is this devotional making such an outrageous condemnation of Jesus?

This massive constellation is comprised of the various constellations on this website.

Because, if “Eternal Torment” was true (which it isn’t), then six hours on the Cross was not enough!

.

Not even 600 hours! Nor 6,000 hours! Nor 6,000,000 hours! Nor 6,000,000 years! Nor 6,000,000 ions of ages!

.

You see, if my little atheist grandma has to suffer in roasting flames for billions and billions of ages, then what Jesus did on the Cross was a sham!

.

A hoax! A fraud!

MISGUIDED THEOLOGY of the PAST

.

Well, fortunately, “Eternal Torment” is not the punishment for unbelievers.

.

No, “Eternal Torment” is just the product of some really misguided theology, by some really misguided theologians, from a misguided church, which ruled many long centuries ago.

.

Oh yes, if you had only read the Parable of the Rich Man & Lazarus, or if you only read Revelation 14:11, then you might come to believe in “Eternal Torment”.

.

And that’s exactly what those erring theologians did, many long centuries ago! 

.

And unfortunately, this monstrosity of a doctrine has been handed down to us through the centuries, and most are afraid to re-examine it!

ENTIRE BIBLE MUST BE STUDIED!

.

But by merely looking at the many other passages in Scripture concerning the fate of unbelievers, it doesn’t take too long to discover that the wages of sin is not, “Eternal Torment”.

.

No, the Bible tells us… “For the wages of sin is DEATH; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 6:23

.

As a matter of fact, the Bible reveals this same fate, “death”, in many other places!

.

.

.

.

.

JOB MUST BE IGNORED!

.

Take Job for instance… “Why died I not from the womb? why did I not give up the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Bonnat02.jpgghost when I came out of the belly?…For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest…There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be at rest. There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor. The small and great are there; and the servant is free from his master.” Job 3:11, 13, 17-19 (to read entire quote, click here… Job 3:11-19)

.

Now amazingly, theologians today either wrestle away the plain understanding of this above passage, or reject it altogether!

.

After all, they must reject the plain understanding of this above passage!

.

Because it flies in the face of their ancient traditional beliefs.

EZEKIEL ALSO IGNOREDhttp://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tissot_Ezekiel.jpg

.

And what about Ezekiel 18:4, which plainly tells us… “Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die” ? 

.

So what does this passage say about the fate of all rejectors of God’s grace? “The soul that sinneth, it shall DIE!”

.

Now here again is a verse which flies in the face of this idea that God is some kind of merciless tyrant, who is going to allow 90%+ of the world’s inhabitants to roast in fiery flames for all time and eternity!

CHRISTIANS BURNED

.

Well, one reason why the churches continued to cling to this doctrine sohttp://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Avvakum_by_Myasoyedov.jpeg tenaciously was because they, the apostate European churches, were burning Christians alive during later centuries.

.

And so, to justify what they were doing, they lifted those two passages out of context, and made God into a willing cohort to their own cruelty against humanity!

.

(But also, this ancient church-doctrine, “Eternal Torment”, made a very big “baseball bat”, that the church could use to club people into submission to their apostate church.)

GOOD NEWS – GOD HAS NO “CHAMBER OF HORRORS!”https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Brooklyn_Museum_-_The_Bad_Rich_Man_in_Hell_(Le_mauvais_riche_dans_l%27Enfer)_-_James_Tissot_-_overall.jpg

.

The Good News is, that Jesus is not the tyrant!

.

Oh yes, the wages of sin is death. And, “the soul that sinneth, it shall die.”

.

But those who reject the gift of life which Jesus offers, will simply get their wish.

.

They will all rest together where… “the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be at rest.” Job 3:17

FOREVER YOUNG!

.

But the really Good News is, that nobody even needs to die an eternal death!

.

In that heavenly Promised Land”, we will be forever young!  

.

And there, nobody gets sick, and nobody dies…“And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.” Revelation 21:4

.

Does this above verse say anything about a chamber of horrors?

.

No, the universe will instead be a place in which we will no more sorrow for our pain, nor for the pain and suffering of others!

.

All those former sorrows will be passed away!

JESUS PAID IT ALL! THEN HE ROSE AGAIN

.

Yes, Jesus died on that Cross, to provide all this!

.https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Christianity-Jesus_Christ_Died_for_your_Sin.jpg

And nobody really comprehends the tremendous price He had to pay!

.

But when that payment was fully made, He said, ‘It is finished!’, and bowed His head and died!

.

And with that one selfless deed, the sins of Mankind were all paid for.

.

For all time and eternity, our sins are fully taken away!

.

And in that Promised Land, the Earth-made-new, we will serve a risen Savior!

.

And there we will truly live…happily ever-after!

EARTH: PLANET OF REST

.

Counting the Sun as the 1st heavenly sphere, the Earth is the 4th heavenly sphere.

.Solar_sys2 NASA public domain

If we extend our theory (and it’s just a theory) that God created our solar system to correspond to the commandments, the Sun corresponding to the 1st Commandment, then Planet Earth would correspond to the 4th Commandment: the Seventh-day Sabbath.

 .

And so, on the very planet that corresponds to the commandment that exalts the idea of “peace” and “rest”, there exists very little peace.

.

And very little rest. Ironic, isn’t it?
