Bullet Point 4 (of 12) - Everlasting hell (misses the mark)

There are many verses in the Bible that indicate hell being eternal. Is it still good that fear of going there will encourage us to shape up and fly right?

Here are two points to consider. The first one is the obvious that if God had not created mankind then hell also would not exist. If hell truly is eternal, how does that sit well with a loving God?

Another point is that punishment, like everything else, does have a purpose. But, what is the purpose of everlasting hell? if that were true it would mean that punishment itself has no purpose. However much you regretted and vowed to make amends there would, ultimately, be no point to that at all.

This sounds more like the loving Heavenly Father (our God): Say to them, ‘As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that they turn from their ways and live. Turn! Turn from your evil ways! Why will you die, people of Israel?’ (Ez.33:11)

The Bible is the word of God. So, how should the Bible verses indicating an eternal hell be read?

God, our Heavenly Father, is Eternal, Unchanging and Absolute. Just as God did not intervene in the Fall of Man to maintain the absoluteness and perfection of the Principle of Creation. Then there will forever, and eternally, be no compromise with something that is unprincipled. In this sense, and in this sense alone, hell is eternal.
To put it another way: if God were to interfere with human actions during their growing period, it would be tantamount to ignoring the human portion of responsibility. In that case, God would be disregarding His own Principle of Creation, according to which He intends to give human beings His creative nature and raise them to become the lords of creation. If the Principle were ignored, then its absoluteness and perfection would be undermined. Because God is the absolute and perfect Creator, His Principle of Creation must also be absolute and perfect.

To insist on everlasting hell, just because it is written so in the Bible is to be like a ‘slave to the letter of the law’ which was the reason the first chosen people failed to recognize and connect with Jesus as the substantial embodiment of the original ideal of God. Had they been able to believe in him whom He had sent, as Jesus indicated in Jn. 6:29 then they would never have had the Lord of Glory crucified by the Roman occupation.

The purpose of these bullet points, showing how present day Christianity has missed the mark, is to make it clear that an overhaul is needed. It is clear to me that present day Christianity is ill-equipped to recognize the 2nd Advent of Christ and is destined to make a similar mistake as the first chosen people. Since there is a false ruler, and false god, of this world (Jn.12:31; 2Cor.4:4) you should also be aware that the personage of the 2nd Advent will have a ‘bad press’. Incidentally we’re living, right now, in a time when the false god is actually being exposed; are you starting to see it too?

Here’s an invitation to a Spring seminar, March 18-20, at the Mountain Retreat in West Virginia, USA. “Mission of the Messiah” and “True Parents in the Completed Testament Age” among the topics. Attend in person, or on-line. Looking forward to seeing you there. Let’s get real about God!

Jesus being the word made flesh was the perfect role model for us to become perfect, as Heavenly Father is perfect (Matt 5:48). It makes no sense at all that Jesus should be killed as 'a perfect sacrifice'. Jesus said, "believe in me" to avoid having to use words to explain, after all.

Looking forward to the revival of Christianity to becoming vibrant and relevant again. God should be invited in to the center of who we are as a people. All these empty tombs, which the "church' has become, should be transcended.

Praise God ! ! !

    I came to Christ through the Lord at His Second Coming. I have been connected with what some would regard as a ‘New Age cult’ for more than 40 years. I want, through this website, to share what I’ve come to understand, and show that it stands up to scrutiny, and criticism.

    Until quite recently I had regarded Christians as the enemy of the Lord of the Second Advent! But then, through Rev. Moon’s successor, Hyung Jin Moon, after his ‘Breaking the Silence’ (2015 January) where he emphasized the Bible (KJV) and spoke almost exclusively of Jesus, grace and faith I decided to connect with a Christian church (Belmont Church in Harrow, London, UK) to find out about these aspects of faith and grace which I had no idea about.

    My strength was the words of truth, as I saw it, that were contained in the ‘Exposition of the Divine Principle’. This is the basic teaching of the Rev. Sun Myung Moon that, for me, made sense of the Bible.

    That Hyung Jin Moon (aka Sean Moon) has since become irrelevant is regrettable but should not become a stumbling block. The 8 Great Sacred Texts (available on the Resources page) constitute the New Age Truth that we need to connect with (from the Lord of the Second Coming) and, I believe, these are absolute.

    So began a journey that opened up the teaching of Rev Moon to an understanding where I came to realize that I am a Christian, Jesus IS the Messiah (as opposed to was the Messiah) and a complete reappraisal of this teaching which is what I want to share through this means.

    OK; there are abridged explanations and sudden conclusions already but I will deal with those if you write to me; let us reason together - and test all things and hold fast to what is good! Also a lot of these can be overcome by reading, "The Exposition of the Divine Principle".

    Thanks for engaging with this and I hope to hear from you so that we can share together as brothers and sisters in Christ and arrive at an understanding of the Gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven that is more to do with 1 Corinthians 3:16 than John 3:16 Thank You for visiting this website.

    Let us reason together . . .
