What happens in the end ? A different look!

DO YOU HAVE A SECOND LIFE COMING or Will it be a Second Death?

By CHAPLAIN Jimmie Warren

I bet you haven’t heard this sermon before but, it is in the scriptures, so why don't preachers preach it? Let me explain why I picked this title, I was studying a few scriptures about the second death and thought this subject would make an excellent article to read, so here it is:

First of all, and most importantly, is the fact that most churches don’t preach about this message because they are not taught it. Conventional churches KEEP preaching about an ever-burning Hell and going to Heaven. If they were to go to some of the scriptures I will give you to look up, then they would have to change the way they were taught at their ministerial schools most of which are manmade doctrines and not Biblical at all!

I don’t want to upset anyone with the facts, but they are clearly there. After you read THESE SCRIPTURES for yourself, I will show you what God’s word says to his children. Then you will have to ask yourself some new questions about the hereafter.

Now I want to ask you to think about the many scriptures telling us about our all-loving Father God. He is a God who gave his only begotten son, "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life." ( John 3:16) NAS

Jesus Christ, who died for us so we could live and be with Him forever, Don’t you think that our God would do everything so, that all mankind could make it to His kingdom? "The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance." (2 Peter 3:9)

"Therefore, holy brothers, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess. He was faithful to the one who appointed him, just as Moses was faithful in all God's ho
I bet you haven’t heard this before except maybe in a JAMES BOND movie.  Let me explain why I picked this title. I was studying a few scriptures about the second death and thought this subject would make an excellent article to read, so here it is. First of all, and most importantly, is the fact that most churches don’t preach about this message because they are not taught about it. Conventional churches preach about an ever-burning Hell and going to Heaven. If they were to go to some of the scriptures I will give you to look up, then they would have to change the way they were taught at their ministerial schools.

I don’t want to upset anyone with the facts, but they are clearly  there. After you read THESE SCRIPTURES for yourself, I will show you what God’s word says to his children. Then you will have to ask yourself some new questions about the hereafter.

Now I want to ask you to think about the many scriptures telling us about our all-loving Father God. He is a God who gave his only begotten son,(JOHN 3:16) Jesus Christ, who died for us so we could live and be with Him forever. Don’t you think that our God would do everything so that all mankind could make it to His kingdom? ( II Peter 3:9)

Most people have been taught that if you mess up in this life then you will be thrown into a fiery hell and burn for ever and ever. This is a satanic idea if I ever heard one, and believe me I have heard it a lot. Some will be praying that I go there right after they read this article, but wrong is wrong.

Almost every church I have attended over the last forty-five years has taught the message of an ever-burning hell because they have all been taught it. This message was brought down from the early Catholic teaching which they adopted from the writings of a man named Dante. He wrote a book called Dante’s Inferno which he himself said was a dream. Dante wrote a play from his book to insult the pope of the time because he and the pope didn’t like each other. Check out the book and read about the story yourself. The Catholic Church later adopted this ever-burning hell idea to scare the people into listening to its teachings and later to receive monies from its flock. 

After many years of study they found that to keep people in church you must hold sway over them, and by preaching ever-burning hell, they had them. Now ask yourself, could you ever be happy in a kingdom where day and night all you heard were the screams of your loved ones who didn’t make it into that kingdom?  What an awful idea to put into someone’s mind!  Yet this is what you hear from the pulpit every Sunday or Saturday Sabbath churches.

I will give you scripture after scripture to read for your own benefit and you can make up your own mind.Now before you turn this message off, please see what the three totally different meanings of the English  word “hell” are. All three are translated into the King James and Catholic translations of the Bible.

1)--(tartaros)  which refers only to the present condition of darkness, or perversion, and restraint, of fallen angels, or demons.( 2 Peter:2:4)
 
2)--(gehenna)  which is a place at the bottom of a high ledge at the south end of Jerusalem, where trash, refuse, bodies of dead animals, and the bodies of the worst criminals were dumped over this ledge to be burned up. Down below this dump, fires were kept burning day and night to consume all things until they were turned into ashes or gone. This is the word used by Jesus when he spoke of being finally destroyed in hell fire.(John 15:1-6)

3)--(Hades)  which means the grave-- a place of burial in the ground! This is the most common Greek word used today.

When the King James translation of the Bible was made, the Englishmen spoke commonly of “putting their potatoes in hell for winter keeping.” These farmers put their potatoes into the ground to last for eating until spring. This is the “hel” Jesus was buried in. His soul was not left in the grave, or  tomb, from which He was resurrected! This” hades” was also the “hell” in which the rich man was buried!  Read chapter 16 of Luke. Many preachers use this one parable to teach that we are all going to hell to be burned forever and ever, WHERE ARE THE SCRIPTURES TO PROVE THIS HELL? 

There are none  yes brethren  NO WHERE does JESUS CHRIST say that we will burn in hell forever and ever. Read your own Bible. Look for it; you will not find going to a  hell where you burn forever and ever.
Most people do not know what the word Parable means? Jesus used Parables to scare the Jews because they were to reliant on money instead of recognizing their own messiah.
What happened to the rich man in (Luke 16:22)  

Jesus did not say the rich man was taken immediately at that time to an eternally-burning hell. He said the  rich man died, and the rich man was buried. One is not buried unless he is covered up. People are buried in a grave and covered up with dirt, or  put in a vault or a cave and sealed in as Jesus was.

The imaginary of hell  was invented by Dante Alighieri, accepted by the Roman Catholic Church, and later by most Protestant churches is never pictured as a burial! 

This parable has been used by many preachers to scare the heck out of people, to make them “come to the Lord.”   To fear is money for their church to keep people coming is to scare the hell out of people is pure religion folks but it is a story a Parable is a story it is not a lie but a way to get people to see the wrong they are doing and change, this is what Jesus was doing when he told parables to the jews, now ask yourself or read what the rich man sin was to cause him to be in the place he was?  Here is an example: the King James translators rendered the Hebrew word sheol as "the grave" 31 times, but, they translated it as "hell" 31 times. Now, the the Israelites believed that everyone- good or bad, great or small - goes to sheol when they die. Conveniently, as evidenced in the two exemplary scriptures below, the word was rendered "grave" when God's people were said to go to Sheol, and "hell" at other times. 

Well brethren I’ve got news for those of you who go to church just to keep from burning in hell.  God doesn’t want anyone who doesn’t love Him because of who He is and because of who Jesus is. God wants you there to be His loving sons and daughters. Amen!

(Matthew 13:30) speaks of the wicked being gathered into bundles to be burned up.  What happens to weeds and branches when cast into fire; they burn up! The human body will not burn forever; when cast into fire it to will burn up.

In( Matthew 3:12), John the Baptist warned the Pharisees that they would be burned up as chaff  if they didn’t repent and change their ways. They shall perish and not be anymore.“Into smoke shall they consume away.”Psalms 37:20)

(Malachi 4:1-3) says, “For  behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yes and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble; and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of host, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. And you shall tread down this wicked; for they shall be ashes  under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this.”

This is talking about the end time. Get out your own Bible and read these scriptures yourself. Don’t just take what you have heard all your life for granted. This is too important a matter to sluff off. (Psalm 37:20) “Into smoke shall they consume away.” They shall perish and be no more.

The wages of sin is death, not endless torment as most preachers teach. Read ( Romans 6:23.)
Eternal-burning hell and the torture of Dante’s fabled hell is unreal. Jesus illustrates death and a resurrection from the dead and restoration of consciousness. Finally, the second death is the lake of fire that burns forever where both body and soul are burned up.  Read Matthew 10:28)  This is the second death spoken of in  (Revelation 20:14).

Beloved of Christ your eternal life is too important to be wrongly taught. Read the Bible for yourself, find out what is coming soon, and know for sure where you will be for eternity. For you will live twice, or die a second time forever. And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting [olam/eonian] life, and some to shame and everlasting [olam/eonian] contempt" (Dan. 12:2).

If you have not turned your life over to Jesus, take the time to do it now. Just say this simple prayer. “ Lord Jesus, I repent of my sins.  I believe you are the Son of God and that you died on the cross for my sins. Come into my life, save me from all wrong, so I may live again with you and our Heavenly Father forever  Amen !

“For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.(Romans 8:38-39)

Beloved if you said this prayer, you are saved. Find a Bible-reading church and be baptized in Jesus name. Jesus is coming soon, and we are going to live with Him forever and ever!
Almost every church I have attended over the last forty-five years has taught the message of an ever-burning hell because they have all been taught it. And by the way they where taught wrong by men’s doctrines not by Bible scriptures !This message about HELL was brought down from early Catholic teaching ,which they adopted from the writings of a man named Dante.(read article "HELL IS A BIG LIE)

 When a man named Dante Alighieri wrote his play "Dante’s Inferno" which he himself said, " was a dream", NOT REAL. Dante wrote his book after a night-mare then he used it to insult the pope of the time. He and the pope did not like each other. Check out the book and read the whole story yourself. The Catholic Church later adopted this ever-burning hell idea to scare the people into listening to its teachings and later to receive monies from its flock.

After many years of study they found that to keep people in church you must hold sway over them, and by preaching ever-burning hell, they had them. Now ask yourself, could you ever be happy in a kingdom where day and night all you heard were the screams of your loved ones who did Not make it into that kingdom? What an awful idea to put into someone’s mind! Yet this is what you hear from the pulpit every Sunday.

 Note NONE of these words -means which are from the literal translations "A burning fire for humans ".
Now before you turn this message off, please see what the three totally different meanings of the English word "hell" mean. You see all three are translated into the King James Bible and Catholic translations of the Bible. Below are the three real words in the Bible and what they mean:

 1.)--(tartaros) which refers only to the present condition of darkness, or perversion, and restraint, of fallen angels, or demons. " For if God did not spare the angels when they sinned, but cast them into " hell " and committed them to pits of nether gloom to be kept until the judgment;" ( 2 Peter:2:4) Youngs Translation renders this way " For if God messengers who sinned did not spare, but with chains of thick gloom, having cast [them] down to Tartarus, did deliver [them] to judgment, having been reserved,until the judgment.

2.)--(Gehenna) which is a place at the bottom of a high ledge at the south end of Jerusalem, where trash, refuse, bodies of dead animals, and the bodies of the worst criminals were dumped over this ledge to be burned up. Down below this dump, fires were kept burning day and night to consume all things until they were turned into ashes or gone. (Originally Ge bene Hinnom; i.e., "the valley of the sons of Hinnom"), a deep, narrow glen to the south of Jerusalem, where the idolatrous Jews offered their children in sacrifice to Molech (2 Chronicles 28:3; 33:6; Jeremiah 7:31; 19:2-6). This valley afterwards became the common receptacle for all the refuse of the city. Here the dead bodies of animals and of criminals, and all kinds of filth, were cast and consumed by fire kept always burning. It thus in process of time became the image of the place of everlasting destruction. In this sense it is used by our Lord in Matthew 5:22,29,30; 10:28; 18:9; 23:15,33; Mark 9:43,45,47; Luke 12:5. In these passages, and also in James 3:6, the word is uniformly rendered "hell," the Revised Version placing "Gehenna" in the margin. (See HELL; HINNOM .)

3.)--(Hades) means the grave-- a place of burial in the ground! This is the most common Greek word used today.

When the King James translation of the Bible was made, the Englishmen spoke commonly of "putting their potatoes in hell for winter keeping." These farmers put their potatoes into the ground to last for eating until spring. This is the "hell" Jesus was buried in. His soul was not left in the grave, or tomb, from which He was resurrected! This" hades" was also the "hell" in which the rich man was buried! Read chapter 16 of Luke. Many preachers use this one parable to teach that we are all going to hell to be burned forever and ever, ONE SCRIPTURE! NO WHERE does JESUS CHRIST say that we will burn in hell forever and ever. Read your own Bible. Look for it; you will not find going to a hell where you burn forever and ever. This term "HADES" is of comparatively rare occurrence in the Greek New Testament. Our Lord speaks of Capernaum as being "brought down to hell" (hades), i.e., simply to the lowest debasement, (Matthew 11:23). It is contemplated as a kind of kingdom which could never overturn the foundation of Christ's kingdom (16:18), i.e., Christ's church can never die.

What happened to the rich man in (Luke 16:22?) Jesus did not say the rich man was taken immediately at that time to an eternally-burning hell. He said the rich man died, and the rich man was buried. yes "The rich man also died and was buried" One is not buried unless he is covered up. People are buried in a grave and covered up with dirt, or put in a vault or cave and sealed in as Jesus was.

The imaginary hell that was invented by Dante Alighieri, accepted by the Roman Catholic Church, and later by most Protestant churches is never pictured as a burial! The rich man in (Luke 16:23-25) died and was buried. See where Jesus said that the rich man was buried. Read it in your own Bible. Later on I will show verses in Revelation showing where the rich man and the rest of evil people will be put.

The word ( parable) simply means a story. Over and over this story Jesus used here in Luke is to scare the Jews at that time has been used by many preachers to scare the heck out of people, to make them "come to the Lord or else." Jesus always used stories and illustrations like these when speaking to the crowds. In fact, he never spoke to them without using such parables.This fulfilled the prophecy that said,"I will speak to you in parables. I will explain mysteries hidden since the creation of the world." ( Matthew 13:33-34)

Now brethren I’ve got news for those of you who go to church just to keep from burning in hell. God doesn’t want anyone who doesn’t love Him because of who He is and because of who Jesus is,so if your in church for any other reason your wasting your time for God wants you there to be His loving sons and daughters. Amen!

"Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn." (Matthew 13:30)

Jesus speaks of the wicked being gathered into bundles to be burned up. What happens to weeds and branches when cast into fire; they burn up! The human body will not burn forever; when cast into the Lake of fire it to will burn up.

In( Matthew 3:4-12), John the Baptist warned the Pharisees that they would be burned up as chaff if they didn’t repent and change their ways. They shall perish and not be anymore."Into smoke shall they consume away." But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance: and think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees(men): therefore every tree(man) which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire. also read ( Psalms 37:20) [In Context|Original Hebrew] "But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away."

(Malachi 4:1-3) says, "For behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yes and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble; and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of host, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. And you shall tread down this wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this."

This is talking about the end time. Get out your own Bible and read these scriptures yourself. Don’t just take what you have heard all your life for granted. This is too important a matter to sluff off. (Psalm 37:20) "Into smoke shall they consume away." They shall perish and be no more.

The wages of sin is death, not endless torment as most preachers teach. Read ( Romans 6:23.)

Eternal-burning hell and the torture of Dante’s fabled hell is unreal and untrue.
Jesus illustrates death and a resurrection from the dead and restoration of consciousness. Finally, the second death is the lake of fire that burns forever where both body and soul are burned up. Read (Matthew 10:28) "And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell " This is the second death spoken of in (Revelation 20:14). "And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire."

"Then the Devil, who betrayed them, was thrown into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur, joining the beast and the false prophet. There they will be tormented day and night forever and ever. And I saw a great white throne, and I saw the one who was sitting on it. The earth and sky fled from his presence, but they found no place to hide. I saw the dead, both great and small, standing before God's throne. And the books were opened, including the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to the things written in the books, according to what they had done. The sea gave up the dead in it, and death and the grave gave up the dead in them. They were all judged according to their deeds. And death and the grave were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death—the lake of fire. And anyone whose name was not found recorded in the Book of Life was thrown into the lake of fire."(Rev 20:10-15 ;Rev.21:8) "But cowards who turn away from me, and unbelievers, and the corrupt, and murderers, and the immoral, and those who practice witchcraft, and idol worshipers, and all liars – their doom is in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur. This is the second death."

Beloved of Christ ,your eternal life is too important to be wrongly taught. Prove to yourself what God's own word says. Amen
Read the Bible yourself, find out what is coming soon, and know for sure where you will be for eternity. For you will live twice, or die a second time forever, it is up to you!.

If you have not turned your life over to Jesus, take the time to do it now. Just say this simple prayer. "

"Lord Jesus, I repent of my sins. I believe you are the Son of God and that you died on the cross for my sins. Come into my life, save me from all wrong, so I may live again with you and our Heavenly Father forever Amen !"

Beloved if you said this prayer, you are saved. Find a Bible-reading church and be baptized in Jesus name. Jesus is coming soon, and we are going to live with Him forever and ever! Keep coming here to read and study in your own home and the time you want to spend proving all things, holding on to that which is truth. HERE IS THE GOOD NEWS FROM GOD:

"And the angel showed me a pure river with the water of life, clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb, coursing down the center of the main street. On each side of the river grew a tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, with a fresh crop each month. The leaves were used for medicine to heal the nations. No longer will anything be cursed. For the throne of God and of the Lamb will be there, and his servants will worship him. And they will see his face, and his name will be written on their foreheads .And there will be no night there—no need for lamps or sun—for the Lord God will shine on them. And they will reign forever and ever." ( Rev 22: 1-6)

 Beloved we look forward to the days spoken of over 2,000 years ago but  the kingdom is closer than most think, be ready!
