luluosas: @Timothy Adigun, unfortunately the story of heaven and hell according to the bible and these revelations you are trying to discredit are TRUE.
Whether you believed the bible and disapproved human testimony about heaven and hell is immaterial because humans that hell was not originally created for are there right now.
Therefore, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, so that you will not end up there. God bless you.

The writer is trying to tell us that differences exist between the testimonies of those who clamed to have come back from the dead and what is written in the Bible. since both can't be true, he advices all to believe the Bible rather than man. To me, he is right.

Are there still people who believe in the concept of Heaven and Hell? These two extremes are at best a guess.

Reuben.Abati:
Very funny set of pretending christains.

So if there was no heaven or hell una no go serve God abi?
You folks go to church all because of Eternal life.

And not really because you want to serve him.


Or you think GOd be fool abi? Shame on to you.

what is wrong in eternal life ? Why should people not want to live forever in a new world established on righteousness and love, without death, pain or suffering ?

Only a fool will reject this gift from GOD.

But why believe the bible in the first place. All the teaching have been floored. There certainly is no God watching from the sky.

Believe what. Ever you want to believe but I pray you don't regret it when is late, the bible is clear on the issue of hell and heaven and human consience alone should tell you that no evil deeds will go unpunished and the Good must be rewarded for their deeds.

Am not suprised, the devil has unleashed into the world several false teachings that sounds so real in other to mislead people that doesn't read the bible and this false teachings are been propagated even in the church.

Well, you are entitled to what you chose to believe. All the writer is saying is that you don't need these stories to believe in heaven and hell. The Bible is pretty clear on these issues.

Btw, pls tell me how to "work out salvation with fear and trembling"
Seriously, I don't believe anything outside the bible which is the infallible word of God.
Again, do you really want me to teach you on how to work out your own salvation with fear and trembling? I don't think so because, you ought to know better. However, I live you with Ecclesiastes 12:9-14. Please, take particular note about verse 13. Thank you.
"9 And moreover, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he gave good heed, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs.
10 The preacher sought to find out acceptable words: and that which was written was upright, even words of truth.
11 The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd.
12 And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.
13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil."

What is certain is Karma. You'll surely reap what you sow. Heaven and Hell are mere symbolism to give you an idea of how the consequences of your actions or inactions will look like.

With all the numerous inconsistencies and absurdities, no right thinking person should believe the tales that was documented in the Holy Bible. We should ask our Christian brothers, are they aware about King James commissioning 50 scholars to re-write the bible and do away with parts which were against his personal beliefs? Well, that happened in 1607.

It's unfortunate that the version of the holy book that's commonly used to brain wash Nigerians is the Kings James version which is filled with lies.
And for those that believe Jesus Christ resurrected! There are Myths of over 18 pagan "sons of gods" who died for mankind before christianity which inspired the myth of Jesus Christ. In fact, Jesus is claimed to have lived to Age 33 because ancient pagans adored the number. This is why FREEMASONS have the highest Degree of "33".

The plain truth is that most christians lack the ability to think out of the mental box in which they are imprisoned by the bible. The only fact they have that God exist is in their holy books. If anybody have any information regarding life after death, and the gimmicks that surrounds heaven and hell, that person should come forward and share his ideas. All we need are just facts that the person has been to heaven or hell!

To those that wanted to be liberated, you better break yourselves from the chains of allowing a book to mentally take you through time and place. If you are being allowed to be brain washed by these holy books, just get yourselves prepared for the worst. The Bible claims the Tower of Babel almost reached heaven...Yet space rockets which travel to the moon and beyond never reached Heaven...I wonder why any right thinking human will fall for such a scam!

Atheism on the rise!

zadok_the_pt:
Unfortunately, you are part of the people that takes scriptures out of context and apply it wrongly. Can you work out your own salvation without God's strength? YOU?? angry
Before you start quoting scriptures and using several translations, atleast you will read in context.
Do you start talking by using the word "therefore"? Read the verse before and then the ones after the verse you are talking about. Then you will see your own ERROR!
Verse 13 of the sample Chapter says this (AMP)
" [Not in your own strength] for it is God Who is all the while effectually at work in you [energizing and creating in you the power and desire], both to will and to work for His good pleasure and satisfaction and delight."

Am using the same translation you used. Please, did you see that: NOT IN YOUR OWN STRENGTH? I don't think there is a need to debate that! Please, it is God that WORKS in US, not we ourselves!
And if I may add, the OP didn't say he doesn't believe in HEAVEN and HELL, he simply said he doesn't need any man's testimonies to believe God's word. What can man's testimony tell, that God's word is not EXPLICIT about?
Please go read the OP again, join the title "Why I don't believe in Hell.." with his last statement ".....Stories And Testimonies" and stop judging a book by it's cover...

Thank you so much for pointing this out. People are quick to quote that scripture out of context.

I wonder if many of the folks declaring the writer is going to hell took time to read the post. If you are a Christain, the bible has said all that is needed to know about heaven and hell. I chose the Bible over account of any man. Infant, we don't need anyone to tell us who is heaven or hell. It doesn't change a thing!

I am the GOD those backward Nigerians pray to. And I have decided to deny them steady electricity, good road, good and affordable health care, job after terrible university education and all the good things other countries take for granted. Why did I decide to do that you may ask; well, because you have a lot of ignorant block heads in the country.
