Jesus was the one who truly revealed to us the
tortuous nature of hell. He spoke about hell (Sheol / Hades) in Luke 16,
describing it as a place of torment. In Mark 9, he tells us that in hell
(Gehenna) "their worm dieth not and the fire is not quenched." In Mat. 25,
he speaks of the judgment resulting in "everlasting punishment."
Caroline Wong:
In Matthew 25, people were judged based on small acts of kindness that they did or didn't do. Does this mean there is hope for good Buddhists, Muslims and Atheists especially if they have never heard a good presentation of the Gospel? And does this apply to Christians as well? Should we tell people it's not by faith alone but they have to be kind to the oppressed and the least in order to survive judgment day?
I heard a speaker say that. He urged us to foster children from World Vision because on Judgment Day, you want a kid standing next to you, someone you can nudge and hiss, "Tell Him!".
I have two foster kids. I should be okay.
