1. Rev. 20:10-15

2. Many do not believe in Hell !!! Jesus did: Matt. 23:33 “...how can you escape the damnation of hell?” Jesus believed in hell He warned against hell And he died to keep men from hell

4. Bible Says Hell is Hot Furnace of fire - Matt. 13:42, 50 Everlasting fire - Matt. 25:41 Unquenchable fire - Mark 9:44-45 Fire and brimstone - Rev. 20:10 Lake of fire - Rev. 20:15 Baptism of fire - Matt. 3:11-12

5. Man does not believe this  Periods of hot and cold  Figurative - Metaphor Hell is far worse than anything We’ve ever imagined.

6. “Build hottest fire possible for man to build, remove two people from hell, and place them in this fire and in 10 seconds they would freeze to death.”

8. Everlasting Punishment - Matt. 25:46 Everlasting destruction - 2 Thes.1:9 For ever and ever - Rev. 20:10 Never Quenched - Mark 9:44-45 Unquenchable fire - Matt. 3:12 Bible Teaches Hell is Eternal

9. Man does not believe this Maybe 1,000 years or 10,000 years Group of preachers met in Canada... Plato = 1 year, then released Origen = punished and then delivered to associate with angels Catholicism = purgatory

11. Heaven Mt. 25:46 Hell Mt. 25:46 Real Myth Fictitious

12. “For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;” 2 Pet. 2:4 v. 9 “...to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished.”

13. Not a fictitious story - used to scare people Not a condition or state of mind It is a place - that is real If Hell is not real Then Heaven is not real !

15. Man is aware that he is sinful.... Acts 2:37 “what shall we do?” Rom. 3:23 “all have sinned” Cemetery = death Wars and crime

16. Sins supposes the existence of law Rom. 4:15 Rom. 4:15 “For where no law is, there is no transgression.” 1 John 3:4 1 John 3:4 “sin is the transgression of the law.” Law requires Penalty essential Hell is essential as punishment For violation of God’s law !

17. Rev. 20:10-15

19. How could a God of love punish? God is a Just God Christ died for us – John 3:16 God wants us to be with Him God’s cosmic garbage dump.
