What Men Have Done to Hell

Bible Bites

Atheists, skeptics and modernists have eradicated it by their “wonderful” powers of “reason”.
“Christian Scientists” have attributed it to improper thinking, the figment of bad imagination, or “malicious animal magnetism”.
Universalists have removed the need of fearing it since they teach that all will be saved anyway.
Unitarians and others have decided that the only real heaven or hell are encountered by men in this life by pleasant or unpleasant experiences.
“Jehovah’s Witnesses” have reduced it to annihilation, eternal non-existence rather than eternal punishment.
Many Protestant denominations have taken away any concern about being lost from millions by their doctrine of “once saved, always saved”.
Catholicism has assured millions that they will not go there because of her sacraments and rituals, and has caused many to be more concerned about an imaginary “purgatory”.
Many have sought to remove the eternal duration and the awful torment of hell by their own concept of God’s love.

But what the bible says about hell remains true. You may read about it in: Matthew 18.8-9; 25.41,46; 2 Thessalonians 1:8-9; Revelation 14.10-11; 20:10, 15; 21.8.
