And some Christians here wonder why some people hate Christians.
This concept of hell doesn't make any sense anyway if you believe that we live only one life. The truth is that the Apocalypse happens at the end of time when all humans will have finished their cycle of reincarnation. It is judgement for a very long period of living, in different bodies. Eastern religions (which are much older, and wiser) already know this truth.
Agreed. The Bible and Koran both teach reincarnation
IF they are properly read.
Reincarnation is an irrefutable fact. They also teach that, after approximately 6000 years of human lives here on Earth, we will all face Judgment
SOON.
Think of the lake of fire as some kind of place where immortal souls go when they are rejected by "God" (actually a group of advanced interdimensional ETs who are referred to as "angels" in the Bible, but the wings are symbolic of their abilities and not litteral).
Agreed. It is a place prepared for
Lucifer/Satan/Iblis and his unrepetent angels who fought with him in the war against our Creator, Prince Michael and the rest (2/3rds) of the angels of heaven.
It's not a place where almost everyone will go, and in fact I would say that nobody will since God always gives a second chance to sinners.
Our Creator though has made it clear that all but the 144,000 who are redeemed from the Earth
WILL go into The Fire, as we've been repeatedly warned for thousands of years, because most have no love for the truth. So we would all do well to focus on doing
exactly as we've been
COMMANDED to do, for our own benefit, instead of continuing our current insanity, which is destroying this planet and each other.
Our Creator's Commandments are, unsurprisingly found in the first five Books of the Bible, namely Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy, collectively referred to as the Torah, which means "The Law". His
Perfect Law of
LOVE.
The movie The Matrix depicts what real "hell" is, some kind of computer simulation that will trap souls who are not taken by the good ETs (angels) at the end of time. This movie was made to warn people of what was to come. But a lot of us thought that this was already real. Think of it as a technological interpretation of Gnosticism. It is a twisted understanding of the truth, which is that we live in a "fallen universe" and are waiting to be taken to another one at the end of time. The simulation is like a lower level of reality. In the "Matrix" they will have their second chance to be redeemed. Of course this is not in the Bible, but Egyptians called it the Underworld, which is a multi leveled world with the lowest level being the lake of fire. Jesus was said to have been to the Underworld after his death anyway, to warn people there, so it is in some way Biblical. Neo in the movie is a Christ-like saviour for this reason.
The film "The Matrix" may be best summed up in the quote from Morpheus on what it is:-
“The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.”
We are spirit-Beings (Souls) who have been temporarily "locked" inside these human-animal bodies (prison cells) on this maximum security prison reform school (Earth), to learn how to be good. This simulation has been going on now for almost 6000 years, through numerous human lifetimes, waiting for us to get it right or run out of time. Unfortunately we are
ALL still here.
This is the only explanation of hell that makes sense but I don't expect any hardcore Christian to accept it. They prefer to think that they are "the chosen ones" in their own self-righteousness, and it's a form of elitism for the weak minded. Nobody in their right mind would believe the nonsense that they believe in which is why these people are getting less and less numerous as time goes on.
Once the truth is understood about who and what we are, and why we were sent here, it should be self-evident that
NOBODY has any reason to be arrogant or self-righteous.
We are all habitual criminals (sinners), guilty of treason and on death-row, awaiting execution on Judgment Day.
Anyone who claims to be “
SAVED” already is
WRONG. We do
not mark our own test. Only the Lord marks
our test and we will have
absolutely NO say in it. So we would do well to learn some fresh and
real humility and start again, this time
DOING what the Lord says instead of our own selfish will (Satan's really). The ego “Self” has to be “
crucified DAILY” (
Luke 9:23) until it is
DEAD and our only desire is to
serve our Lord and the
common good,
keeping the
COMMANDments;
Covenants; His Laws and Ways and
NOT our own. There is no other way to avoid
The Fire.
