First let me say that I understand what you're trying to say but keep in mind I say what I am saying now in love. <br /><br />First you say that “Our heavenly Father will NOT put any child of his into a hell fire no matter what their sins, whether they repent or not.” And that’s not true at all, Jesus was very clear and distinct when he said in Matthew 12:32 "And whoever shall speak a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him; but whoever shall speak against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in this age, or in the age to come,"<br /><br />if we repent and trust in the Lord Christ Jesus we become children of God and will not be cast down into hell, but if we don’t repent and accept Jesus as our Lord and savior we do not become children of God and thereby condemn ourselves into hell. God did not create sin (Isa 45:7 has nothing to do with sin, it has to to with challenges) God created the law, and sin is the act of turning our backs on His law. <br /><br />God did not teach us about good and evil, if you read more of Genesis you’ll realize that Adam was ORDERED specifically told to stay away from that knowledge in Gen 2:15-17, we were created for good, not evil and were not intended to learn of evil or sin, but that woman thought she knew better than God and condemned us all to death and hell <br /><br />Jer 7:31, Jer 19:5 are not about hell but about murdering children in the name of God. And when you say that “Anyone preaching a hell fire or second death for any child of God has been deceived into teaching lies” it’s obvious that you really need to ask the Holy Spirit for some help as you re-read the Gospel, as no one in the bible spoke about Hell as much as Jesus did; Matthew 5:28-29, Matthew 16:18, Matthew 23:15, Matthew 23:33-34, Mark 9:45-46, Luke 10:15, Luke 12:5, Luke 16:23, James 3:6, so is Jesus teaching lies? Maybe you need to reread 2 Peter 2 with some help from the Holy Spirit.<br /><br />In Revelation 12 God did not chose a woman to be his prophet, he chose her son to be his prophet. Acts 3:21-22 is about Jesus, not the woman of Revelation 12. In fact most bible believers believe that woman to be Israel. Gospel does NOT mean Good Tale it means Good NEWS. A tale is a story which can be true or a made up , NEWS is true. The Bible is not a made up fable and it hurts me that you would make such an implication.<br /><br />It’s interesting that you open your statement with the preposition that God does not cast people into hell yet you close with Acts 3:23 which proves the exact opposite – that if you turn your back on Jesus you are cut off from God. <br /><br />I really pray that you turn to your bible and really really read it, the whole book, verse by verse, cover to cover, with the Holy Spirit guiding you. I suggest getting a good study bible such as the John MacArthur NIV, the truth won’t change, but your perception of it will.<br />Doug Evanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05318930961031654937noreply@blogger.com
