You will or you may go to hell. Two different meanings.

If you felt the need to preach hell about someone for whatever reason what would you say, ( would you say you will or you may

Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. Galatians 6:1

When we speak to people about God's word, we shouldn't exclude anything. God says the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life though Jesus Christ our Lord. So yes, we tell people if they don't repent, they will be lost. There is no blurry lines here but also, u cant just tell a person they are going to be lost without presenting the whole gospel truth to them that they may make a sound decision. They will know after studying the scriptures if they will be lost or not. People will know for themselves that they are lost..because God says, everyone of us will be without excuse when He comes. Even those who have never laid eyes on a Bible will know the truth through the Holy Spirit. God says, the visible things in nature speaks of Him.

Confusion for you ? or are you speaking for everyone.


Most of the replies i have had havent seemed confusing


I would say a few have been confused or look to cause confusion would that be ambiguous ?

Before I vote on the poll I wanted to clarify something. The whole preaching you will or even may go to hell thing is and was often used as a scare tactic. Many believed that scaring people into faith was better than letting them rot in hell, however in the end it has the opposite effect when one is scared of going to hell and seeks to be saved they go into it in fear and thus a true relationship with God is never made and these people will end up either following their example or they will become to fearful to even follow God.

First and foremost we shouldn't be telling people they are going to hell, I mean would you want to be a Christian if a Christian said to you your going to hell?

I would change the preaching to be you already walk without sight, lost, hurting yourself and others, and so to stop further pain and suffering you will be wiped out, made nothing, obliterated.

Jesus though offers real life and reality, and eternity where everything fits together without hurt or pain, with love and care, where every need is met and all praise from the depths of their hearts. But the door to this world is through repentance from sin and trust in Jesus.

very Good points and you should vote based upon how you understand thin
Dont look at preach as a bad word but more like you where just talking Gods word if that helps

Hell is the grave, translated from four words in Scripture: Sheol, Hades, Tartarus, and Gehenna. We are all going there. The first thing we will know after that is the resurrection, some to eternal life, and some to eternal death, otherwise known as the second death. The dividing line is belief in Jesus Christ. At that time death and hell will be thrown into the lake of fire, prepared for the devil and his angels, along with those who do not believe, those whose names are blotted out of the Lamb's book of life. They are no more, and will be forever forgotten.

Hell is being in the presence of God without having His righteousness and holiness. It's His fiery love that is tormenting the people.

I believe that hell is eternal separation from God. The one that is there is no longer in the presence of God.

If you were told that China was the moon you would be claiming you went to the moon after going to China. Read your Bible, Blain, and please give up your idea of God being a sadistic monster who is going to torture for eternity those who reject Him. No such thing is taught in Scripture, nor is the immortal soul anywhere taught in Scripture. Think about it. Eternal life is found only in Christ. The second death is promised to non-believers.

You didn't see and experience what I did nor do I recommend you ever too either, Hell is an actual place in the spirit realm the horrors that are there not even the bible fully describes, many have different ideas of what hell is and what it is like but just as only a witness of Christ can fully understand who Christ is and what it is like to dwell in love and presence only those who have been to seen and experienced hell can truly know and understand that place
