Daily Devotional, Year 3 – July 3

.

Eternal Torment?

.

Part 22:

“Ignoring Scripture”

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

.

“I have seen the travail,

which God has given to the sons of men

to be exercised in it.

He has made every thing beautiful in His time:”

Ecclesiastes 3:10, 11

.

It seems that this above passage has never been included along with other passages concerning the Church-doctrine of Eternal Torment.

.

Why?

.

Does not this verse merit any value concerning the eternal destiny of Mankind?

.

Does it not add balance to a proper understanding of the nature of Hell?

.

You would think that those who are such ardent defenders of this old Church-doctrine called Eternal Torment, would want to consider this and other similar passages!

.

Yes, there are many passages which seemingly present a vastly different understanding of what eternal judgment will be like for the multitudes of lost souls of Mankind!

ETERNAL TORMENT BEAUTIFUL?

.

After all, if God has made everything beautiful in His time, then what can we say about Eternal Torment?

.

**There’s no way possible to make such a terrifying and unthinkable ordeal as Eternal Torment into something beautiful, now is there?**

.

But God clearly says…“He hath made every thing beautiful in His time:”

.

And it wouldn’t be such a beautiful or pleasant thing to go through eternity knowing that your loved ones and former friends are continually writhing in pain and torment, begging God for one tiny drop of water, now would it?

.

“ALL” MEANS “ALL”

.

But notice that this verse does not say, “He hath made SOME things beautiful in His time”.

.

Nor does it say, “He hath made MOST things beautiful in His time”.

.

No, it says, “He hath made ALL things beautiful in His time”.

.

**And so, if God hath made “ALL things beautiful in His time”, then that would mean ALL things, would it not?**

.

And that would obviously include the eternal future of lost souls.

.

PROVERBIAL ‘HOUSE OF CARDS’

.

Well, this is merely one more verse which “Eternal Torment” advocates conveniently ignore.

.

**But there are many other verses which are likewise ignored, so that they may hang on to their old catholic-church-doctrine which they call, “Eternal Torment”.**

.

Because, if they did include this and other similar passages, then this whole ridiculous church-doctrine would totally collapse, being revealed as the proverbial “house of cards” that it truly is!

.

NO MORE SORROW, CRYING, OR PAIN!

.

No, the universe will instead be a place in which it is written…

“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.

And He that sat upon the throne said, ‘Behold, I make all things new”.

And He said unto me, Write:

for these words are true and faithful.'”

Revelation 21:4, 5

.

Now this above passage reveals the kind of God that we can praise and love and adore for all time and eternity! A God who loves mercy!

.

“For His mercy endures forever!…For God is love!” 2nd Chronicles 5:13 & 1st John 4:8

TODAY’S PRAYER…

“Dear Lord, Let me not be given to a close-minded spirit. But help me to love truth, no matter if it means I will be hated by my own brethren…

ORION, THE GOOD SHEPHERD

.

“The LORD is my shepherd;

I shall not want (lack).

He maketh me to lie

down in green pastures:

He leadeth me beside

the still waters…

I will fear no evil:

for Thou art with me;

Thy rod and thy staff

they comfort me….”

Psalm 23:1, 2, 4

.

ORION, THE GOOD SHEPHERD

.

**And this Orion, the Good Shepherd Constellation presents a very wonderful and beautiful Bible truth: namely, that Jesus is the Good Shepherd, as is written…**

.

“As a shepherd seeketh out his flock

in the day that he is among his sheep

that are scattered;

so will I seek out My sheep,

and will deliver them out of all places

where they have been scattered

in the cloudy and dark day.”

Ezekiel 34:12

.

And so, God has placed this Starry Shepherd in the winter-night heavens to remind us of His great love for a planet which has wandered away…

.

…just like sheep that wandered to where the grass looked greener.
