IN HELL ALREADY?

The lumping of five different things (she'ôl; hadēs; gehenna; tartaroō and lake of fire) as "hell" in the English translation of the Bible, has given many people a narrow and erroneous understanding of what hell truly is. Get the message on "Gospel Revolution" for details on this. From our verse today, both Abraham and the rich man were in "hadēs" but the rich man was in torment - a torturing experience as like a metal in a refinery. That means an undesirable crisis (Hebrews 9:27). This is the experience of many people in this world. The pain, depression, disappointment, struggles etc., are so much that if you promise them living forever, they will kick it out of their way. Someone asked, rightly "… Is there a reason for being deathless aside from seeing the coming of Jesus Christ?" The teaching on deathlessness is the means by which our perspectives can shift from this abysmal and false one to the reality of the kingdom life in Jesus Christ.
