Eternal Torment?
.
Part 7:
“The Hypocrisy”
To read Part 1, click here… “September 8th (Eternal Torment?)”
.
.
.
.
.
A number of false doctrines have been handed down to the present-day Church: the various Catholic holidays, the “Age of Accountability”, and the doctrine of “Eternal Torment”.
.
And there are many zealous proponents of “Eternal Torment” in today’s church-world.
.
And even though this false doctrine was borne out of ignorance of proper Bible interpretation, the apostate churches are still ignorant of proper Bible interpretation to a certain degree!

BABYLONISH CONFUSION
.
Now if things weren’t already bad enough, the liberal, apostate churches and what has been dubbed as “cults” are now beginning to reject “Eternal Torment”, which only further confuses the issue!
.
And this rejection of so-called “Eternal Torment” by obviously false gospels has given “Eternal Torment” advocates even more ammunition to fire at those earnest Bible students who question this church tradition, as they say, “See? See?, it’s only the cults who reject ‘Eternal Torment’! And we who comprise the orthodoxy still hold fast to ‘Eternal Torment’!”

WHERE’S THE PROPORTIONATE RESPONSE?
.
But let’s set aside all the arguments, both for-or-against this church doctrine of “Eternal Torment”.
.
Let’s just suppose for a moment that “Eternal Torment” is indeed, the punishment for all rejectors of God’s grace.
.
If those Christians who believe “Eternal Torment” is the wages of sin, then where is the proper response from these Christians?
.
.
.
.
.
WHERE’S THE TEARS?
.
After all, the proponents of “Eternal Torment” do not seem to shed even one tear when they talk about this church doctrine! More often than not, they don’t seem to be very bothered at all about this unthinkable idea!
.
Because if we are truly indwelt by God’s Holy Spirit, then we would love our fellow humans, as we love our own self. You would think that Spirit-filled Christians would be crying out daily, yea hourly, for God’s mercy and Salvation for the lost multitudes who are slipping into eternal torment every minute of the day around the world!
.
If eternal torment was truly the punishment for rejecting God’s grace, then where is the proportionate response from those advocates of this unthinkable and hideous idea?

“BE AFFLICTED, MOURN & WEEP!”
.
The Good News is, that it is still the day of Salvation! And for those of us who have lived a lukewarm spiritual life, there is time to repent and return to God! Yes, there is time to put away our silly and foolish ways, and humble ourselves in the sight of a holy God…
.
Listen… “Ye adulterers and adulteresses,
know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God?
whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God…
Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you.
Cleanse your hands, ye sinners;
and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep:
let your laughter be turned to mourning,
and your joy to heaviness.
Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord,
and He shall lift you up.”
James 4:4, 8-10
.
Here is what today’s church must do on an individual basis! And such a thorough repentance may just bring us to the place where, we will cry out daily for the salvation of the lost souls all around us, regardless of our viewpoint of the true eternal reward in store for the unsaved of the world!

7 STARS IMITATE THE CROSS OF ORION
(LOCATING THESE TWO CONSTELLATIONS)
.
This phenomenon begins in late October, in the pre-dawn hours. It then begins a little earlier each night.
.
This Wikipedia star-chart to the left, has this Orion Constellation sketched in. You must locate Orion, when it is mid-sky, between east and west. You’ll be facing southward most likely, unless you are far south. Try to imagine it as a Cross on a steep hill. The 3-star belt of Orion becomes the crest of the hill. The 3 very faint stars that make up Orion’s head become the very top of the Cross.
Next, locate the 7 Stars Constellation. This 7 Stars Constellation is seen by facing northward. It stands upright a little later in the night. Eventually, Orion will lay down and no longer be seen as an uplifted Cross! Beginning in November, the 7 Stars (AKA Big Dipper) can be seen as a Cross a little bit later in evening.
.
When you are comfortable in locating Orion & The 7 Stars Constellations, then show a friend. This can be a great witnessing tool!
