Hell

I wanted to talk to you a bit about this book you’ve read from this lady who comes to Heaven (Kate Kerr). It’s for real, she does take trips. (I asked the Lord about her, ‘cause I never met her). But she’s human so she does get some things right and some other things not so right. Some of her recollections are a bit tainted by church doctrines, like her presentation of hell. But she means well. I haven’t been to hell, so I can’t verify, and personally I’m not so keen on it. The reason she totally missed the redemption side of things, is because she’s been conditioned all her life that there is no redemption once you die. But it doesn’t mean that there isn’t any. Obviously, it’s better for people to accept Jesus while they’re alive on earth. That’s why it’s so important to preach the Gospel and to try to get people to know Jesus while on earth. That’s obvious. And if people willfully reject Jesus and commit atrocious sins, they will end up in hell torment, because God is just and they deserve it. But like you said, Mom, God’s plan is for everyone to eventually be saved. So hell is a place of learning, really. At least that’s what the Lord told me, and I can understand that, it makes so much sense. People who have rejected Jesus need to taste what it’s like to choose eternity without Him, so that’s what they’ll first experience. Then since they’ve rejected Jesus’ forgiveness, they’re gonna have to be the ones to pay for their sins, first to realize the extent of their sins, the effect it had on people, and they’re gonna have to suffer the consequences of those sins, they’re gonna have to make amends. The Lord is going to handle each person on its own merit. There’s not going to be a one shoe fits all, isn’t that amazing? According to each person’s background, what they’ve been through, what made them do what they did, the Lord is going to assign angels to cater to each person, to guide them into all truth. Well, at first it’s going to be to open their eyes to the truth, to what they’ve done. God is in control. This lady makes it look like hell is filled with devils who are all powerful and inflict pain and torment. I don’t know about that. Maybe people who actively worshipped the devil will be in this kind of place until they learn their lesson. But the main point to remember is that God is in perfect control. He controls hell as well as Heaven. Nothing will happen to anyone that is not perfectly just. And there will always be room for redemption for those who desire it, those who repent of their sins, those who wish to turn towards God and receive His forgiveness. Grandpa was right, there is such a thing as salvation in the spirit world. But of course, it’s much, much better to receive Jesus while on earth.

And then, like I already told you, there are people who have not received Jesus, but who are not against Him, so they are given a chance. They are given time to choose. I guess the Catholics are not too far off with their notion of purgatory. 

God bless this lady, though, she’s very brave to come out with books like that. The Lord really loves her, she’s doing her part, she’s doing what she can and she’s telling the good news. Maybe it’s better people are scared of hell, so they can get saved now. You know, if people think that hell is not the end, that you can get redeemed from hell, there could be even more evil in the world. Although I don’t know how that’s possible. So much evil as it is. Oh I don’t know. But the Lord is allowing her to share that scary message for a reason I’m sure.
