News From Israel MagazineNo Hell
Dear MCM,
Let me help you to understand what the true Gospel is.
Christ has saved all of mankind (1 Timothy 4:10). All of God’s creation will return to Him, including Satan and his host of demons changed (Colossians 1:20).
We are living in the third eon; there are two more impending. God has saved all of mankind for the consummation (1 Corinthians 15:28). He has not given all [people] the gift of belief for the thousand-year kingdom (Revelation 5:10, 20:4). The doctrine of free will is false. It teaches that the completed work of Christ (Romans 5:8-9) is incomplete until we appropriate it; this is salvation by will power, not grace. The Bible makes it very clear that none is seeking out God (Romans 3:11), and all are locked up in unbelief (Romans 11:32), making it impossible for man to make a decision for Christ.
Jesus is the Son of God, not God the Son. Teaching Christ as God takes away the death part of His ministry. God cannot die, but His created Son did, in spirit, soul and body. We are saved by the faith of Christ trusting in His Father to raise Him from death (Galatians 2:16, 20). There is no place called hell. Jesus never said the word “hell” in His life. He never spoke English.
There will only be three beings in the lake of fire: the beast, the adversary, and the false prophet. The people that God sends there will be sleeping, later awakened to live with God forever (1 Timothy 4:10, 1 Corinthians 15:28). Please let me know if I can be of any more help.

Answer: You have come to some logical conclusions, which may sound correct on the surface, but John 3:36 reads: “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.” Surely you cannot misread such simple statements in Holy Scripture: you either believe or you do not believe, you either have life eternal or suffer God’s wrath forever.
Revelation 20:10 explains that the devil, the beast, and the false prophet will be cast into the lake of fire, and verse 15 adds, “whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.” If you believe these words mean something else, then you are taking upon yourself an awful responsibility in case you are wrong, which according to these and many other Scriptures, you are, and then the lake of fire will no longer be a theory.
Of course Jesus is God. Thomas confessed, “My Lord and my God.” John 1:1-2 documents that the Word of God is God and the Word became flesh and His name is Jesus. Didn’t Jesus say that He and the Father are one? Isn’t Jesus Christ the child announced in Isaiah 9:6, and is He not called the mighty God?
I firmly believe that the Bible makes salvation an object of man’s free will: “Whosoever will.” Will you?
