I am sharing a simple message of the love of Jesus and the sacrifice He paid for sin, in this post. Jesus

Jesus is going to return one day, soon and will judge the world, on account of all its sins. Revelation (the last book of the bible) gives a vivid prophetic view on the return of Christ, stating "every eye shall see". Jesus will decide who is allowed unto the Kingdom of God for all eternity through the straight and narrow path and who passes through the gates of the broad and wide path.

The Kingdom of God is heaven which is described as a place of no more tears, or pains, night or day or hunger or famin. We are told he has the best mansions lined up for his people and has glories beyond our human interpretation.

He also tells us about Hell, a place of weeping and nashing of teeth, a place of eternal punishment and terrible suffering. He also says some will have few stripes and some who reject the word of Lord will have many stripes.

My friends in order to pass from death until life you must allow in the Holy Spirit and must pray for God to come into your life. No amount of charity money or giving or helping will enter you into the Kingdom of God for all eternity except by this way; excepting the Lord Jesus into your life, the same man that took away all man's sins on the cross. John 3:16 "For God so loved the World that he sent his one and only son, for who ever believeth in him may not perish but have everlasting life" Jesus was the perfect sacrifice. He paid the price for sin, in order to get the burden of sin off your shoulders and with you for all eternity in Hell, you need to trust in the Lord Jesus, who died for sin. This is the most important decision you will ever make, either accept you are a sinner and Jesus has taken away your sin or reject Jesus and face Him one day and all eternity in Hell.

God bless and thankyou for your time. If you are interested in any of the points raised in this article or you would like to ask Jesus into your life please feel free to write to me at [email protected]

Buddism doesn't really seem like a religeon to me though, more like a philosophy for living.

I'm not in the mood for a debate, just wanted to say that the notion of hell is wrong.

In the Old Testament the word translated hell was the Hebrew word Sheol, which meant being dead. The common grave of mankind.

In most of the New Testament the word is Hades, which is Greek and means the same thing.

In a few places in the New Testament the word is Gehenna, which relates to the Gehenna, Jerusalem's rubbish tip just outside the city in the valley of Hinnom. It was constantly on fire and often had sulphur added to it to keep it burning. Criminals who were believed undeserving of a burial had their corpses thrown into it. But they were never alive when thrown in, so there never was any concsious suffering.

Another thing to bear in mind is that the Jews never believed in any sort of afterlife. In fact, Ecclesiastes has a verse that says that "the living are conscious that they will die, but the dead are conscious of nothing at all".

In old English, hell meant to bury. As in helling potatoes meant to bury, or cover over them.

I was raised Christian, but am not one. I think religion is a form of control of people, especially the Catholic church years ago. The power of it was demonstrated in the Crusades. Personally, I think the Chrisitan relighion is a pack of lies. Buddishm however is different. But I am not Buddisht either.

I remember seeing a mock movie poster a while back for the film "Jesus 2 - The Return", starring Ben Affleck as the son of God, with a picture of him with wings and wearing armour on the front with a huge space rocket launching behind him in the background with the letters U.S.A printed down it.

T'was funny.

Y'know, St John of Patmos has a lot to answer for; he spends too long in the desert, eats one too many strange mushrooms, then 2000 years later a bunch of brain-dead nobrods use his fevered rantings as an excuse to persecute anyone funny lookin', funny thinkin', or funny speakin'.

You believe Christ is coming back soon? Then I'd be worried if I were you; do you really think the Son of God is going to be HAPPY at people like you taking a message of universal brotherhood and twisting it to fit their own bigoted view? If I were in your shoes, I'd pray every day that Jesus gets delayed a little longer...
