Does Hell Really Exist?

 

All of this talk of heaven and hell is great! But, the question often arises is “does hell really exist?” If hell does not exist, then obviously, no one can go there. However, if it does exist then it is possible for people to go there. The possibility of going to hell should be of great concern. Why? Let’s look at how hell is describe in the Bible:


  1. BulletA place of torment (Luke 16:23, 16:33)

  2. BulletA place where wickedness dwells (Psalm 55;15)

  3. BulletA place of unquenchable fire. It is better to lose your hand, foot or eye. (Mark 9:43-48)

  4. BulletA lake that burns with fire and brimstone (Revelation 21:8)

  5. BulletA bottomless pit (Revelation 20:1)

  6. BulletA horrible tempest (Psalm 11:6)

  7. BulletA place of everlasting punishment (Matthew 25:46)

  8. BulletA place where people cry for mercy (Luke 16:24)

  9. BulletA place where people wail (Matthew 13:42)

  10. BulletA place where people have no rest (Revelation 14:11)

  11. BulletA place where the smoke of torment ascends forever (Revelation 14:11)

  12. BulletIn the lower parts of the earth (Ephesians 4:7-9)



Famous people have warned of hell

Dr. Maurice Rawlings has interviewed a number of patients whose near death expereinces have taken them to hell and back. I invite you to watch the nine part video series below. Or you may listen to the message as an mp3.
