Eternal Hell: Heaven's Loving Purpose (Paperback) |
-------------By Dave Leach - - - - - - - |
12 Bible Reasons to Question Tradition; 1. When the Bible talks about a purpose for fire, it is correction, Hebrews 12, a synonym of purification, Hebrews 12:29, Malachi 3:2, 1 Peter 4:12, Acts 2:3. Fire consumes dross from gold, and chaff from wheat, Matthew 3:12, which is an aspect of purification. The Greek word for fire is even spelled “pur”. Never does the Bible specify that God uses any kind of fire, anywhere or at any time, without this purpose. Certainly the doctrine, that each and every person who goes to Hell will remain there forever, implies that Hell never rehabilitates or purifies, since it would seem unreasonable for God to keep someone in Hell who has been purified. But the assumption that Hell’s purpose is pure torture, without any potential purification or rehabilitation of any kind, imposes on theology a purpose never given by God and contrary to the only purpose God ever gave. (This is the first of 12 Bible reasons to question tradition. The other 11 are part of the "Free Sample", option #3 below.)
(Back cover text): Hell offers Potential Purification, enabling reconciliation with God. But many in Hell will refuse it forever. /|\ Hell really makes a lot of sense, understood Biblicly. We all know what it's like to resist good, God, light, love, truth, evidence, life, and grace. We do it; others do it. We doubt God's promises. We covet the fruits of darkness. Romans 3:10-12. Explain how it is possible to choose such woe for even one moment, here on Earth, before you reject Biblical evidence of the danger of hardening your heart so much that you will push God away forever! /|\ Hell “Fire” is God’s loving solution. Many verses describe the flames which torture those who hate God, and the flames which purify God’s saints, without indicating a difference except that flames in Hell are not “quenched”. Hebrews 12 explains why it is not the flames you should fear, but your hard heart. /|\ Hell Fire is spiritual reality. It is justice. It is your debt which you must “pay” if you forfeit Grace – Matthew 18:34 – as huge as your heart is hard: up to twice the cruelty, of word or deed, you do or wish upon others; twice the suffering of others you might ease but flip off; twice the kicks you aim through the door when Love and Innocence come to help; twice the ignorance you earn by resisting correction; and twice the chains of the withering, from disuse, of your wisdom, talent, and potential. Up to forever, if you remain as stubborn as you are now. /|\ Heaven does not provide Hell to hurt you. Hell is not the chaotic brainless destruction of the terrorist’s bomb, but the intelligent soul-saving slicing of the surgeon’s knife.

You can help edit this book!
This is not a book by a single author which you must either agree with or toss aside in frustration. Email me with your corrections. If you don't persuade me, future editions will include links to criticisms that I know about, and to my response. If you persuade me, I will incorporate your observations in my book, and give you credit (provided you include a physical address or publishable email address so readers know you are a real person). In fact, you should let me know if you DON'T want me to give you credit for the ideas you send me.
Changes will show up immediately in future copies purchased of my book. This is because I am distributing this as an ebook which is easy to edit and repost immediately, and as a POD (print on demand) paperback which I can print a few copies at a time.
