If I was god probably not. The church thing may show who are my followers getting on your knees shows who are the humble ones.
As a parent, would you ASK your children to worship you? We aren't even given a choice, are we? I mean, if we're punished for making the wrong choice, is that really a choice? Knowingly condemn ourselves to either eternal torture or eternal servitude? Is that how your ideal kingdom?

As described by other fearful men that were afraid to go to hell as well.
You ought to be scared to death of hell.
Better to be scared now and do something about it, than to find out that hell is real and can do NOTHING.
Now you tell me, “Preacher, you are just trying to scare me.”
You’re dead right, you’re dead right. You ought to be scared to death of hell.
I was 11 years old sitting on the back row of a Baptist Church. And do you want to know
why I got myself to Christ that day? Because I was scared to death of going to hell. I
knew it was real.
Scare you? Yeah. You want to know why the Lord Jesus Christ kept bringing it up again
and again? Something you better fear. He told them, did he not?
“And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear
him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.”
Yes, and all that I am saying right now is designed to put fear into you
about going to hell. It is a place of indescribable pain.
Fire on the Altar
Hell is a real place. Men may laugh and they may make jokes about the existence of such
a place as hell. Apostate religion may, indeed, attack this doctrine. But the doctrine of
endless punishment, this doctrine that the lost will be suffering forever is so solemn that
man’s natural instinct is either to ignore it, to not think about it whatsoever or to deny it.
But God’s Word will stand the test of time and eternity and prove that all of these people
are nothing more than liars and deceivers. Hell is real.
You see, men really don’t want to hear about hell and they want to make it the brunt of
jokes. They want to make the devil to be a little horned figure with a pitchfork because
they don’t want to hear that their sin one day is going to be punished in such a way that I
want to tell you defies description. It defies description.
And so they make statements to the effect. Once the jokes are over and past and beyond
it is something like, “Well, you know, God is such a God of love and mercy that he
wouldn’t punish somebody in hell forever.” But it is right there in such thinking that we
see man’s vast ignorance of God. We see the darkness that has settled upon his mind and
his heart. We see there is a blindness to just who this God and what he is.
You see, the reason for the existence of hell is grounded in the very nature of God, who
he is and what he is.
Gods Hell MP3
All these things I have described never let up. It is eternity.
Oh, my friends, it is forever and ever and ever and ever.
Now you tell me, my lost friend, is that where you want to spend eternity? There is no
getting out. There is no door out of hell.
It is moreover a place of unfailing memory. Your memory will be alive and well. Why,
sinner friend, wherever you are in this meeting tonight, if you are found that day and I am
there at the right hand of the Lord Jesus Christ I am going to see you bound hand and
foot. You are going to remember me. And down in the pit of hell you are going to
remember every time your minister said, “Now is the time. Now is the day of salvation.”

How many of those people in those quotes have been to hell? Taken pictures? Brought back a snippet of video? Nothing? Then how do they know it wasn't a dream? Anything and everything you've ever seen in or heard or noticed in your life, whether you consciously memorized it or not, is accessible in your dreams. Just because you don't remember ever seeing that sign before doesn't mean you weren't in that city staring at that sign at a year and four months old while your mother was grabbing some milk. If you think you went to hell, then it's probably a result of everything you've been taught. It was a dream. Not a vision. It was a chemically induced recollection of various ideas that compiled into a rough reenactment of whatever you were taught to expect growing up. Sometimes our fear triggers it, sometimes our hope or our desperation for an answer. Whatever it is, whatever your precious sources have told you or posted on the internet, I can replicate those results with stunning efficiency using that chemical I just linked everyone to in my previous post.

Is a near death experience a concept? An out of body experience? They are called experience because it is no longer a concept! Do you understand the difference?
It must be, because there are a lot of people having NDE's that confirm a heaven and a hell.
So, please feel free to share your version.

1nf1del, I was curious about whether or not you had your own NDE, so I looked through some of your posts.
I noticed that you mentioned having experiences shortly after you started taking/using coconut oil.
I just read a few articles stating that too much coconut oil can lead to hallucinations.
Just an FYI.

Can you share the details?

Honestly, this is something you need to go to a quiet place and decide because if hell is real, many people that have given advice could be wrong too. Hell doesn't count, it doesn't discriminate.
Now, of course these are personal beliefs based off the Bible, but lets be honest, this is something you need to sit down and be quiet with. Asking on a forum is not a good idea. Hell is going to be crowded. if I'm right anyway.
Risk going to hell over filthy human pride? Nah.edit on 8-2-2013 by milkyway12 because: (no reason given)

But if you see it... It's to late. God placed a veil over eyes when Eve sinned in the garden. God is using man to prove a point, that his love and mercy is truly endless. I personally believe Lucifer challenged God on this issue.
People think they will just burn in hell, but you will be tired, sleepy, very difficult to breathe, bugs eating and crawling in your flesh. God is punishing Satan and the Bible says that you are either for God or Satan, there is no in between.
Again, it's a belief, but if its right ...
I believe it is pride, mainly.edit on 8-2-2013 by milkyway12 because: (no reason given)
Hehe. That is why the Bible is more than one sentence, God would be a very scary entity if he didnt operate off laws ... I don't know if I could even accept a lawless God.
