Jesus revealed much in this true event for us to understand the truth about hell. There are ten different points we will examine. But first, Luke 16 is not a parable for two reasons. No parable ever has a name mentioned in it. There are three: Abraham, Lazarus, and Moses. Secondly, in verses 25 and…
Some people embrace lies because they must justify their sin. If they have not completely seared their conscience, they will feel guilt and shame when they violate it. Those are two very uncomfortable emotions. To ease their conscience, they may excuse their sin by indulging in addiction, seeking sexual pleasure, embracing a religious philosophy, or…
The Bible states that there are only two places, and both are eternal. There is no temporary place of suffering, or purgatory. There is no prayer someone can recite on your behalf, and no ceremony that can be performed to release you. You will not be permitted to leave hell after a certain amount of…
Proverbs 14:12 and Proverbs 16:25 say, “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.” Notice that this warning was worth repeating. People think their way or path of life is right, but in the end, many are deceived. Your own way may deliver temporary success,…

Let’s look at why people find hell offensive. Let’s briefly look at the first reason it is offensive: Hell is incompatible with God’s unconditional love. Many people pride themselves in being more compassionate and more merciful than God. They state they would never let someone experience eternal conscious torment. Hell is too severe and clashes with their…
Have you ever felt like you couldn’t breathe? It’s a horrible feeling. During my 23 Minutes in Hell experience, I remember trying to breathe in hell. The oxygen-depleted atmosphere is full of smoke and a deathly, decaying odor. I’m uncertain if the fire in hell sucks up any air, but I could hardly breathe. I…
The Old Testament provides us with an interesting illustration of how God warned His people against mixture. Did you know that there are three reasons why God forbade the mixing of two different garments in the Old Testament? One has to do with the priests’ service to God. The second has to do with a…
In John 3:18–20, Jesus told us why the unbeliever rejects hell. It’s because they reject God and love their sin. Jesus said, “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And…
