Why do so many Christians end up in Hell?

I can't believe how many 'christians' here are already deceived by Satan. I tell you something: in a grave there is no gnashing of teeth or being in flames. Jesus said about HELL where is unquenchable fire and torment and it is NOT GRAVE!!!

The Bible plainly says that the dead will be brought back to life to be judged. Read the book of revelation.

I have not said anything different. But there is a HUGE DIFFERENCE between the resurrection of the just and that of the unjust.

Even if you did have something worthwhile to offer, your arrogance and insults are unlikely to garner you a hearing.

The Bible says that the just will come back to life during the first resurrection when Christ returns. If they are alive in Heaven they can't come back to life from death because they are already alive. I don't understand you

It is not me that you do not understand. You simply do not understand the afterlife and what follows.

1. Human beings are tripartite -- body, soul and spirit.

2. Physical death is SEPARATION -- the soul and spirit are separated from the body.

3. The body is placed in the grave and eventually turns to dust.

4. The soul and spirit have two destinations depending on their relationship to Christ.

5. The souls and spirits of believers go directly to Heaven to be with the Lord. They are very much alive in Heaven, without their bodies.

6. The souls and spirits of the unsaved go directly to Hades, where they too are very much alive.

7. The first resurrection is the resurrection of the just (the justified ones). Christ brings their souls and spirits with Him at the Resurrection/Rapture and gives them immortal glorified bodies, then takes them to Heaven. This is all instantaneous.

6. The second resurrection is the resurrection of the unjust at the Great White Throne judgment. See Revelation 20.

What makes you think that the soul is judged **before** the judgement?

Why so upset?
Do you consider yourself to be amongst the Christians who wind up in hell as you claim?

I will keep asking until you answer properly

well i found out who that is, and read what he did say and what he didn't say. he's silly to snipe back at John Cooper IMO; Cooper has a point.

this is what i think of it:

it is noteworthy that the common criticism leveled against Hillsong et al - 'modern Christian worship' - is tantamount to this. shallow soil in rocky places. receiving the Word with joy, but not developing roots. lacking doctrine. this is the complaint usually brought when discussing the content of the radio songs being played/sung in many churches these days, and the 'concert atmosphere' in the sanctuary: that it trades spectacle for depth, and emotion for truth. the same can be argued about many pulpits.

i can't say it's a surprise.

I dont think we should put so much expectation on these singers. They arent preachers, or teachers, they use the gift God gave them. Doesnt mean they have sound doctrine or great faith.

They arent leaders is what im trying to say. The leaders are on the pulpit. The main leader we all look to is Jesus. Our Shepherd. Man will always fall short in one way or another.

I enjoy listening to praise and worship music, I never feel like the person singing must be a prophet or know every scripture to support what they are singing.

Im not surprised the guy is struggling with his "faith" now that he has all the money and fame. Temptation will do that when you build your faith on sand. Jesus is the rock we must build on.

Luke 6
Building on a Solid Foundation
46 “So why do you keep calling me ‘Lord, Lord!’ when you don’t do what I say? 47 I will show you what it’s like when someone comes to me, listens to my teaching, and then follows it. 48 It is like a person building a house who digs deep and lays the foundation on solid rock. When the floodwaters rise and break against that house, it stands firm because it is well built. 49 But anyone who hears and doesn’t obey is like a person who builds a house right on the ground, without a foundation. When the floods sweep down against that house, it will collapse into a heap of ruins.”

If this is what you need to wake up and open your eyes to the truth then I do not mind being arrogant!

Dear Brother: In regard to these Christians who are lacking in faith or those who may be considered week in faith. God said to us when the Christ comes to his people " a bruised reed will he not break and smoking flax will He not quench. I have seen a reed that was bent over. The reed was still green but nevertheless it was bruised in the middle and to me it look to be without remedy. I have seen a candle wick when the flame was blown out nevertheless in the dark there was always this last glowing ember. They are the souls to whom Jesus is always speaking. Weakness is something all Christians know about. Remember Jesus will always be found at the bottom of the rope. May Christ give us all hope and strength. Blessing to you in Christ.

That should be obvious from Scripture.

He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. (John 3:36)

Soul Sleep is FALSE DOCTRINE. ALL the OT saints as well as ALL the NT saints who have passed on are in Heaven. Take some time to search out the passages which clearly say so.

Yes the dead know nothing, feel nothing, have no spirit by which he could suffer or remember why. Hell is living suffering of the wrath of God of a dying creation revealed from heaven the unseen .

A Christians suffering. . . dying...

His suffering is tempered with Christ in us. We can rest being yoked with him. like the Son of man, Jesus yoked with the father as with Jonas two parallel parables to be compared to each other as the last sign and wonder. The wonderment was fulfilled with the Son of man . Both receiving rest from our father strengthening us to finish the work he begins in us. No dead sacrifices...

Jonah 2 King James Version (KJV) Then Jonah prayed unto the Lord his God out of the fish's belly, And said, I cried "by reason of mine affliction" unto the Lord, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice.

And like Jonas after the third time used to signal the end of the matter they were delivered by the hand of the father. .

Cain the marked man (666) refused to buy the gospel truth and killed his brother as in out of sight out of mind .The pagan form of government.(no faith) Cain like Esau who sold their birth rites were not given the sabbath rest .But rather a increase suffering the living hell.. . . turning up the heat..

Eat, sleep and search for more food, live. Eat, sleep and search for more food, live.

The Holy Spirit had changed that work and made it hardered.as one Cain said he could not bear of his own self .recognizing only Christ could bear the wage of sin .

Matthew 26:38 Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.
And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.

Yawn.

Jesus is Lord.

The verse is true and I am also correct. Let me explain myself: who does the Bible say is 'asleep in Christ'? There are verses in God's Word that speak of the resurrection of the saints to eternal life.

The world consists now of nothing but false Christs (false gospels and false teachings of Christ).
Anyone can know for sure if they are sincerely seeking His Truth. Although hidden in plain sight by careful design, if you do this in sincerity you will discover that it is the key to everything:
