Eternal Torment?

.

Part 9:

“No Sympathy In Heaven!?!”

To read Part 1, click here… “September 8th (Eternal Torment?)”

 

 

.

.

.

.

“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

.

.

.

.

. 

A number of long-held traditional 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 “Free-Will Salvation”. 

.

And there are many zealous proponents of “Eternal Torment” in today’s church-world.

DIAMETRICALLY OPPOSED

.

So just why is Revelation 21:4 so damaging to this so-called doctrine of “Eternal Torment”?

.

Because either “Eternal Torment” is true, or Revelation 21:4 is true!

.

But they both cannot be true!

.

In other words, Revelation 21:4 reveals the absurdity of the “Eternal Torment” doctrine.

NO MORE SUFFERING

.

Listen again… “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

.

Is there anything here that suggests that “Eternal Torment” is the punishment for sin?

.

After all, it says here that, “there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away!”

.

NO MORE DEATH, SORROW, CRYING OR PAIN!

.

And so, we can assume that God means exactly what He says!

.

Because, if all those horrible things will be passed away…

.

…then why do we insist that they will still exist in the New Heaven and Earth?

.

After all, if the lost souls of our loved ones will be crying and begging for mercy, wouldn’t those cries for mercy be echoing within our hearts for all eternity?

.

“Well. they’re just getting what they deserve!”, say the proponents of this God-hating doctrine!

.

NO SYMPATHY IN HEAVEN!?!

.

And what about sympathy?

.

Listen to what it says… 

“Rejoice with them that do rejoice,

and weep with them that weep…

Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them;

and them which suffer adversity,

as being yourselves also in the body.” 

Romans 12:15 & Hebrews 13:3

.

So here above is the eternal Word of God commanding us to weep and to suffer and to be bound with those who weep, and suffer and are bound.

NO MORE TEARS FOR LOVED ONES?

.

And so, if our unsaved friends, fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers and our children are being supposedly endlessly tormented…

.

…then will we be so satisfied with God’s justice that we won’t even shed a tear for their torment and eternal pain?

.

Are we really to believe that when we get to Heaven, we’ll just forget all about the compassionate things that God taught us?

.

Is it really Good News to imagine that a relatively small percentage of redeemed ones will be happily and joyfully flying through the eternal heavens…

.

…knowing that 95 percent or more of humanity throughout history, will be suffering in some giant netherworld torture chamber?!

.

Hardly Good News, wouldn’t you agree?! 

.

Doesn’t this sound totally ridiculous? Of course it does!

WEAK DEFENSE

.

Do you see how impossible is this church-tradition called, “Eternal Torment”?

.

…especially impossible when we consider that “God is love” and “His mercy endures forever” (1st John 4:8, 16 & Psalm 136, etc…)

STUDY CHRISTIAN! STUDY!

.

And so, seeing that “Eternal Torment” does not harmonize with Scripture, we can take comfort that we won’t be crying in sorrow for this church-fabricated chamber-of-horrors! 

.

And if the Reader will simply study the many articles on this false-doctrine, then there will begin to be full assurance that God does not eternally torment our unsaved loved ones!

TODAY’S HEAVENLY SIGN

.

.

. 

LOCATING THE DRAGON

.

The Dragon Constellation can be located by finding Orion in winter months.

.

The Dragon is to Orion’s left, and the Dragon’s mouth is right next to Orion’s shield.

.

This Dragon’s mouth is the V-like constellation The Hyades Cluster, which is the very same constellation that comprises the head of Taurus the Bull.

.

In other words, Hyades is also known as the head of Taurus the Bull.

.

And Hyades is the mouth of this Dragon.

 

.                                   

The tip of the Dragon’s tail is composed of that star-cluster known as The Pleiades.

.

The Pleiades is actually in the shape of a lion’s furry tassel tip of his tail.
