- If we don’t understand who we are in creation, then we will be inevitably hindered from understanding who God is and how we are to live in His world.

Holy Father, I pray for the salvation of my baby sister and free her from her Meth addiction.
So sad. I'm praying with you. Lord, have mercy. Amen
Praying🙏🏻
Matthew 7:6Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
7Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you
,🙏🏿
One of our sons has this same addiction. We will be praying for your sister. 🙏
"If sinners be damned, at least let them leap into Hell over our dead bodies. And if they perish, let them perish with our arms wrapped about their knees, imploring them to stay. If Hell must be filled, let it be filled in the teeth of our exertions, and let not one go unwarned and unprayed for."
C.H. Spurgeon
You can give it your all for someone but sometimes nothing you do is ever good enough.
Those are words of compassion, from a human being. That's clearly not what the word of God says. He wants, everyone to hear the gospel, he also gives everyone the free will to accept or deny. The fact of the matter is that , society has become it's own god . The Bible warned us of making for ourselves graven images, to worship.
@@anovino1992 we know what the word of God says, and that compassion is obviously a part of love.
Matthew 5:44
New American Standard Bible
44 But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
Unfortunately I don't go that far, I know I should, but I'm not there yet.
@@arcguardian
Wjy would you use this scripture in this context. The pastor is preaching on Hell, a place he doesn't want anyone to go,obviously!
Yet people are still complaining
That is the very best sermon that I have ever heard preached on the eternal peril of Hell and our Lord’s righteous wrath against all those who refuse to willfully bend the knee to Him in this life. May we all be zealous for our Lord and to walk in His holy ways, and to preach the Good News of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to all whom we meet and know. All glory be to Christ our King forever and ever! Amen and amen!
This is a very sobering message which is clearly articulated for all to examine themselves while there is still time. Jesus truly loves us to want us safe from ourselves
Holy father forgive our sins, open our eyes for salvation in Christ name we pray Amen.
God Bless you Dr Tom Ascol. Thank you for this timely sermon.
What a sobering and powerful message.
This is an extremely important sermon. Thank you Tom - you speak very clearly - with authority & with love & humility. This sermon has stayed with me
This was a wake up call. Lord please keep me near the cross. Please draw my family members to you to repent
Very good sermon. Thank you LORD.
God is love, perfect Love casts out fear.
Remember this, God is patient. But never forget how many prophets that God sent to tell nations to repent. When they rejected those prophets, judgement came. But when God the Father sent God the Son, whoever rejects Him, will suffer eternal punishment.
Amen!!
John3: 17-21
We often miss that passage.
I love you this message ❤️
Is about the true of the Master Jesus God bless you My brother
Huge sermón glory to God.
Can a true believer deny the true about hell if Jesus teaches it clearly?
No.
A True believer will Not wants, their desire and beliefs over; their creator. That's why the Bible says, judgement will begin in the house of the lord first. God's exposing, those who are truly his. It's really sad to see, these people truly did have a huge impact on people's lives.
Luke 12:5
- “But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear Him who, after He has killed, has power to cast into hell; yes, I say to you, fear Him!”
Romans 6:23
- For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
John 3:36
- Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.
Matthew 7:13,14
- “Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.”
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤l
Beautiful sermon
Praise God for His words, for God words are absolutely true. Oh God please open our understanding and give us true desire to obey your commands 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I want to know this God savingly
Amazing sermon. Too many commercials at terrible times
Rob Bell desperately needs to hear this message.
As much as I want him to come to repentance I believe he has been given over to a reprobate mind. See Romans 1.
@@waynehampson9569 Sadly, yeah, I’d have to agree with that. Alongside Brian McLaren, Abraham Piper, Josh Harris 😞
God is patient and long suffering, but His general grace toward the lost does not last forever.
@@patrickc3419 Abraham Piper? Whatever happened to him?
@@waynehampson9569 Is an attention seeking “atheist” who makes series of tik tok videos mocking the Bible and Christianity. Broke his father’s heart.
Everyone does
Haven't heard as good a sermon on this truth since Sinners in the hand of an angry God. Pulpits won't touch this truth😢.
“Hell, like a gladiatorial combat, was made for the spectators, not the participants; the sufferers were useful only in their suffering." In Jonathan Edwards’ commentary on Ezekiel 15:2-4, he says: "Mankind, if they bring forth no fruit to God, are wholly useless unless it be in their destruction. According to Revelation 18:20, when the saints in glory shall see the wrath of God executed on ungodly men, it will be no occasion of grief to them, but of rejoicing. The purpose that hell serves is to gladden heaven; suffering sinners serve the purpose of contributing to the bliss of redeemed sinners by glorifying the justice of God.”
“Heaven and Hell, Jonathan Edwards on the Afterlife” by John H. Gerstner
Why so many preaching told us to receive Christ in order to become save ?. Instead we need to plead with God to have mercy on us ?.If God will to save us , He will save us in God own time . God have to make us born again , our own actions never get us to become save . By accepting Christ or receiving Christ that’s our own actions. If we think by our own actions we become save , we are in big trouble. Because God so jealous with His glory .
But that assumes God can't move a person to respond in faith and repentance. Is that out of bounds for God's sovereignty? I think biblically, that is how God brings people into regeneration.
I love Tom! But I do have to ask where in Revelation it say "and they will be in torment day and night forever in the presence of the Lamb and His Holy Angels", it seems like part of the punishment is the presence of Gods Anointed. Am I missing something in the context of the text?
Revelation 14:10
- “he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.
Revelation 14:10
he also will drink the wine of God's wrath, poured full strength into the cup of his anger, and he will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.
@@JesusChristMyKing.Good job, you beat me to it 🙌
@@craigwilliamsSeekTheLord so is Christ present?
@@joshhigdon4951 Christ is Omnipresent, Omniscient and Omnipotent. He will be the One igniting the fires of Hell. Isaiah 30 speaks of Hell. God Himself executes Judgement against all who reject His Christ.
The Father loves the Son and has given all things into His hand. He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.”
John 3:35-36 LSB
And Yahweh will cause His splendid voice to be heard, And the descending of His arm to be seen in raging anger, And in the flame of a consuming fire In cloudburst, downpour, and hailstones. For at the voice of Yahweh Assyria will be dismayed, When He strikes with the rod. And every blow of the appointed staff, Which Yahweh will cause to rest upon him, Will be with the music of tambourines and lyres; And in battles, waving weapons He will fight them. For Topheth has long been ready, Indeed, it has been prepared for the king. He has made it deep and large, A pyre of fire with plenty of wood; The breath of Yahweh, like a torrent of brimstone, sets it afire.
Isaiah 30:30-33 LSB
Amen
Is it biblical to say earth is Hell?
Sin is alive and well here, the wicked prosper, God's people are suffering, and there is a very real disconnect from God for anyone who "wants" it..
When I was born again, I couldn't get this idea out of my head. Yes, it's absolutely possible there is a *worse* place but is it unreasonable to say this *is* the worse place?
I'm a Christian but I don't understand this concept. Obey me or burn forever.
Which part do you not understand? The concept of hell, or obedience?
God has the power to create or destroy whatever he deems necessary. He is Holy and Just in all that He does, according to His righteousness, justice, and truth. Sin is an abomination in His site, and will be consumed in the presence of His Glory .
The understanding of these concepts is fully beyond a mere mortals comprehension.
Which is why we have faith in His Word. Pray, trust, and wait for Him to bring to fruition ALL that He has promised in His Word.
peace and grace to you!
@T Robbins I was on fire for God. Traveling 8 hours to go to a revival. A year has passed and the fire is gone and I hardly feel conviction for sin anymore. I barely even put up a fight. I want God to light that fire back up. I've tried praying. I've tried reading the word again but I can't get passed 2 sentences without drifting off. I need help
@@boxersandsocks5059 dear brother box -n-sox,. Our Father doesn't want or need revivals. He desires "relationships." With His creation, with you, with me, with us.
I didn't know how to pray. I simply asked God in my own words, "teach me how to pray? That I may communicate/talk with you, be in union with you ?
Next thing I knew? Prayers were just flying out of the Bible! Moses, Jonah, Hanna, Samuel, Solomon, David, Daniel, Paul, and most if not all of the prophets.
But 1st and foremost, Jesus Christ Himself in the books of Matthew and John. God Himself taught me how to pray when I asked Him. My life is now forever changed. Make your praise and worship of God as organic (personal) as you can. Just Him and you. No revivals, no organized" religion ", no libraries of books. When we are of genuine faith? He knows, and will truly respond in kind. Last thing; The fear of the Lord is to trust Him, and to obey His commandments.
May God bless you richly dear sir. Peace and grace to you!
Reference Isaiah 65:11-20
Remember that we will have to answer for the choices we make in this life. We think we have a say-so in this present moment, but this won't be so after the judgement
Why isn't Jesus still being punished eternally if he took our punishment for us?
Jesus is God. And Jesus is God’s son who paid our debt that God (the father) required of us for our sin. And God accepted it. For further education and/or clarification on the Trinity, Christ’s substitutionary atonement, etc., you might want to watch American Gospel Christ Crucified- Or other You-tube videos featuring John MacArthur, Steve Lawson, RC Sproul, Voddie Baucham, Alistair Begg, etc., on these subjects.
Either because of the eternal value of the Son that caused that debt to be paid then and there.
Or possibly hell isn't simply the punishment for our finite sins, but due to their resulting corruption, which goes on forever and ever.
There's probably some other options.
Because he is infinite and eternal God.
No doubt right or wrong teaching on hell, should make you search scriptures for yourself.
Read a LITERAL word for word translation of the original Greek NT text. You'll be surprised to see what Jesus actually said about afterlife punishment in the original NT text.
Should we praise God for hell??
Welp, this was depressing.
Only if that is your future. There are plenty of goat herds out there who will whisper sweet emptiness into your ears,and make you feel good about yourself...all the while dragging you by your nose to the precipice of the abyss.
They ate the fruit and the consequence was death... This sermon is saying they won't die, which is what the serpent said to Eve... So is he saying God who said they would die. Gen 2:17 is wrong, and the serpent is right who said you will not die Gen 3: 3 you will not die... Eternal punishment is the second final death, after the judgement, after the resurrection when Jesus comes again. After the second coming one group gets eternal death because they are burnt up, so of course they will weap over a bad decision, but they will not be burnt forever. One group gets eternal darkness of death and another group eternal life. From what I understand from scripture sin leads to death period not a burning in hell forever. I don't think God wants people to be Christians only because they are afraid. I've read my Bible to understand this best I can. Eternal destruction is death not flaming agony it is even clear to me even in this sermon trying to say the opposite. Vessels made for destruction how can you say one Vessel is made for destruction and another for life, but yet call the destruction a form of life where people suffer forever... when you destroy something the purpose is to destroy it not keep it burning forever... So, yes I can't wrap my mind around this at all, or why someone would want to take a parable that isn't literal and make a docterine of hell around it. Well luckily the Bibe definitely doesn't say your understanding, or theology on what happens to the unsaved in the next life is to determine your salvation or standing with Christ. Again how can you say people down play hell by saying it is the second death. Even the Bible calls it the second death.... not the second never-ending torment... So is death the wages of sin or not??????
Man the comments section lol these guys don’t like this teaching. If sin just isn’t that bad in their sight🤷🏼
False teaching from the beginning! Gen 2:6; God formed Adam from the dust of the earth, breathed into his nostril the breath of life, and he became a living being.' So Adam didn't get a soul, he BECAME a soul, a huge, existential difference. Here, from the first second, pagan doctrine of the immortal soul comes into place, which pervert all other teaching! Nowhere Scripture says that man has an immortal soul, I can't believe what I'm just hearing! What does Scripure say? Ezekiël 18:20: 'the soul that sins, shall die'!! Please tell me where Scripture says, that souls will never die or are immortal..??
Even animals are (living) souls (Nephes); Gen. 1:20, e.g. living beings. Unbelievable he makes such a big claim, not even backing it up with Scripture!
Wich Greek or Hebrew word is he pointing to, when he talks about 'Hell'? Gehenna (Ben Hinnom)? The valley outside of Jerusalem, a burning place, where the wicked will be burned? That's the Judgement place on earth. See Isaiah 66:24, it shows dead bodies, being eaten by worms en burned with fire. Has nothing to do with, being somewhere in a imaginary place. The valley of Hinnom will be the place where the 'eternal fire' ( the fire of God) will destroy his enemies.
He states: 'there are people in (hell) right now', which Scripture backs this up?
2 Thes. 1:9; 'eternal destruction (away) from the presence of the Lord'. He indicates that Paul is talking about 'hell', that is speculation at least, Paul isn't talking about hell (there), and b.t.w. Paul in all his letters NEVER talks about hell, which should make you think! And also the word 'away' is not in the Greek text, it's put there because of theological reasons. I think this man didn't bother to study the original languages.. 2 Thes. 1:9 tells us from Whom the Judgement is coming: from the Lord (a quote from Isaiah 2), and this phrase is also used in Acts 3:19 where you can see how it should be translated. You cannot read things into the text, that are not there. This verse simply says that God will come with (His) fire and punish with eternal destruction, yes, destruction, because with fire you destroy everything!
Ps. 139:8; He is translating 'Sjeool' into hell. He really doesn't understand what he is talking about. If Sjeool (Hebrew) means 'hell', my goodness, tell me if Jacob is also in 'hell' (Gen. 37:35)?
In the Thora the highest penalty for sin is death, why is 'hell' as a punishment never mentioned there? Would it also be fair if God had warned Adam and Eve for 'hell' as a consequence of sin?
'Jesus used Gehenna as an analogy'. Yes, it's an analogy of future punishment. As people where burnt there in the past, so they will be burnt there (in the Valley of Hinnom) in the future..!
'The rich man and Lazarus'. So 'Gehenna' is hell, and now suddenly 'Hades' is also 'hell'. Well it seems he can stretch words and meanings anyway he wants.. Interestingly the story doesn't anything say about faith (in Jesus) as a condition of entering Heaven. Moreover, he says that Lazarus went into heaven. Does the text say that, I don't think so.. Even Peter says in Acts 2 that 'David was not ascended into heaven'.
'Eternal punishment': If someone is annihilated forever, that would be an eternal punishment.
'The slightest sin is cosmic treason'; this comes out of his own mind, not out of Scripture.
Sin that is done unintentionally is never defined as rebellion in Scripture.
'Infinite sin', another idea out of his own mind, not out of Scripture.
The example of murder a random person vs the president? The penalty in both casus is the same: death penalty!
Punishment against God can only be infinite? Nowhere does Scripture say that, it comes out of his own mind. If sin can only be punished infinite, why is Jesus not still suffering (in hell)?
People will be thrown into 'everlasting fire', that doesn't say that they will burn forever.
If you really believe this teaching, and are realizing what you are actually believing, you will become (emotionally) wrecked! Poor people listening to this teaching and taking it. It involves such a horrific and evil picture of God..! I'm convinced that no real love towards God can exist if really believing and understanding the reality about what was teached here..
As I read this rebuttal to the message, I waited for one sentence that always comes from yours and similar arguments against the doctrine of eternal punishment, “THIS TEACHING MAKES GOD CRUEL.” Only thing left to say is, God doesn’t need anyone to defend him. He is sovereign;we are not.
@@lorenzolionheart1910 I wonder how much Scripture matters to you.. I wonder why, as it looks like, my rebuttal doesn't mean anything to you, although at least I backed it up with Scripture. I wonder if you would be able to answer just the first question that I asked..
Revelation 20: 10- 15. Pretty clear about eternal punishment.
@@caedwards83 If you read superficial, and don't take whole Scripture into consideration, it is..
I consider annihilation to be a live option but I'm not sure.
There's also a middle view that suggests our perceptions come from our being alive, and if our bodies are damaged or can impare prescription. If our souls are damaged or can further impare our perception. The Bible describes that at a minimum, our souls will be severely damaged by the Word of God which cuts asunder both soul and spirit. It seems to me such a person wouldn't be at the height of perceptivity. Almost like a half living state, if it could be called such. We know that the life of the body can be extinguished very easily, but we don't know what it takes to extinguish a soul. James 2 says that when the life of the body is extinguished, the soul departs as though it was unharmed. Same with Jesus's words about those who kill the body but cannot harm the soul.
Everyone is worth saving because people are made in the image of God
Salvation is not a human decision. Salvation is the Grace and Mercy of God.
@@kate60
I understand you want to protect salvation by faith salvation by grace the otherside is true faith is demonstrated by what we do but here is the problem the doctrine of regeneration
The Word of God teaches otherwise. Nobody is "worth" saving. ALL humanity has done evil and is worthy of death and Hell. That is a fundamental truth.
@@aztec0112 That's not what I said. I'm not saying people are worth saving because of thier own merit as you suppose but that people are not worthless-for example babies that are aborted are seen as worthless that people who abort them do not agree with the scriptures that they are made in God's image.
I'm sorry, but when the original Greek and Hebrew of the Bible is taken into full account, the false doctrines of Hell and eternal conscious torment and eternal separation from God simply do not hold up.
Devils are easy to identify if you only look and listen. Just as the serpent in the garden @Tyehimba Jahsi denies the clear words of Jesus. That sir, makes you a devil.
@@aztec0112 I await your best efforts to make Sheol, Hades, Gehenna, and tartaroo equate to "Hell", sir. I await your best efforts to make the Lake of Fire translate into "Hell". I also await your best efforts to make the Greek aionion and aionios translate into "everlasting".
Apparently, "Hell" is such an essential doctrine of the faith for you, that you never even bothered to ask me if I believe that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father and that God raised Him from the dead, in accordance with the Scriptures. (I do!)
You never even asked me if I believe that the Father sent the Son to be the Savior of the WORLD (I do!)
Nope...you just labeled me a devil.
Quit while you're behind, sir. I don't think you're ready for this debate.
What do the words "worm does not die" and "fire is not quenched" mean?
@@waynehampson9569 Fires were constantly kept burning in Gehenna (the Valley of Hinnom) - the word Jesus actually used (not "Hell"!). And as long as dead bodies and refuse was cast into Gehenna, maggots were a permanent feature. But "fire is not quenched" (the present tense in which Jesus was speaking to His audience) does NOT mean "fire will never go out for all eternity". Gehenna (Valley of Hinnom) stopped burning many centuries ago. I understand it's a public park today. No more fire, no more worms. Jesus was warning His hearers of the coming judgement that was to fall on Jerusalem in a few decades (AD 70), when about a million dead Jewish bodies would be cast into Gehenna by the conquering Roman armies.
@@TyehimbaJahsi Jesus was talking about the end of the age, not AD70. Preterism is a joke.
Wow! What an uplifting message of hope and good news.The gospel means "good news."
Here's the good news:
You can go to Heaven if you believe on Jesus and live in bliss for eternity. The rest of the good news is this:
Your deceased heathen Father, Mother sister brother daughter son grandfather grandmother and cousins are all right now, this very second suffering the most excruciating pain ever imaginable by being burned and tortured without a drop of water, because they are cursed by God for ever and ever and ever without one second of respite for ever and ever.
Isn't that such delightful good news............... NOT
This is rank heresy. Repent of this Satanic teaching.
Isaiah 26;9 clearly says that when God's judgements are in the earth the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.
How bout them apples?
Did you get that??
The inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.
Nah! That can't be true. How are the inhabitants of the world going to learn righteousness while gnashing their teeth in hell. Oh Lord, talk about contradictions.
Uh oh he messed up at min 17:39 the sons of the kingdom will not be cast into Hell😂
