Chapter Three
THE CONCEPT OF HELL

The concept, or the idea of Hell is three-fold. It is a place
of Separation, Association and Retribution.
1. Separation
(Luke 13:23-28)
The Lake of Fire is called the SECOND DEATH (Rev.
20:14).
(Matt. 25:46)
2. Association
Hell is a place where the lost will make their abode with
the vile of all ages.
(Rev. 20:10)
(Rev. 19:20)
(II Peter 2:4)
(Matt. 8:28-29)
(Luke 8:31)
(Rev. 21:8)
(Psalm 9:17)
(Rev. 21:27)
Without [outside the Heavenly Jerusalem] are dogs.
(Rev. 22:15)
We have here sixteen categories of the vile inhabitants of
Hell.
(1) SATAN
He is going to
burn and weep and wail and cry in TORMENT (Rev. 20:10).
(2) ANTICHRIST
(Rev. 13:5-6).
(3) THE FALSE PROPHET
(Rev. 13:11-12).
(4) THE FALLEN ANGELS
(See Genesis 6:1-7; Jude 6-7; II Peter 2:4).
(5) THE DEMONS
(See Luke 7:21; 8:2; Acts 19:12; 19:15).
(6) THE FEARFUL
(7) THE UNBELIEVING
(John 3:18)
(John 3:36)
HE is the only way of salvation (John 14:6).
(See I Timothy 3:16; Hebrews 1:8; I
Thessalonians 4:14; Revelation 1:8...for starters).
(See John 14:9; John 10:30;
John 8:24). In John 8:24, you will notice that "he" is in
italics.
"I AM" is God! (See Exodus 3:14; John 8:58).
(8) THE ABOMINABLE
Anything which is wicked, vile, filthy, unrighteous and
ungodly is an abomination to God. He who commits
abominations is ABOMINABLE.
(Heb. 10:29)
(Prov. 11:20)
(Prov. 1:24-29)
(Rev. 21:8)
(9) MURDERERS
The very first
murderer was Satan (John 8:44).
Cain soon followed (I John 3:12).
(10) WHOREMONGERS
(Heb. 13:4)
God hates adultery.
(Lev. 20:18)
(Exodus 20:14)
God hates h*m*sexuality and lesbianism.
(Lev. 18:22)
(Rom. 1:26-27, 32)
God hates rape and equates it with MURDER.
(Deut. 22:25-27)
God hates incest.
(Lev.
18:6)
God hates whoredom.
(Prov. 2:18-19;
5:3-5)
(11) SORCERERS
(Acts
13:6-10)
(Acts 8:9-11)
(.... See
Genesis 3:1).
to the blackness of darkness forever (Jude 13)!
(Amos 5:21, 26)
(Lev. 20:6)
(Deut. 18:10-12)
(Isa. 47:11-14)
(Rev. 21:8)
(12) IDOLATERS
(Matt. 22:37-38)
(Exodus 20:3-5)
(13) LIARS
(Rom. 3:4)
in
Revelation 21:8.
(See Matthew 23 as an example).
"Liars" in Revelation 21:8 are those hypocrites who LIVE a
lie. They SAY they are saved. They ACT like they love the
Lord. They PRETEND to care for spiritual things. They PUT
ON A SHOW as if they are Bible-believers. On the OUTSIDE,
they appear beautiful. On the INSIDE, they are full of
uncleanness. Listen to Jesus:
(Matt. 23:27)

(Rev. 9:20-21)
(Rev. 16:9-11)

That which is conceived in her is OF THE HOLY
GHOST. (Matt. 1:20)
If you are a Lutheran, IT IS YOUR MINISTER.
(See Matthew 7:15-17).
Paul teaches in Romans 9:19-20 that
a perverse theology proceeds from a perverse heart.
"if ye believe not that I [AM] [H]e, ye shall die in your sins."
(John 8:24)
"Before Abraham was, I [AM]." (John 8:58)
"I AM" is JEHOVAH! (See Exodus 3:14-15) YOU
RUSSELLITE "SUPERIORS" DENY THIS.
You can chew on that while
you read Revelation 22:12-16 in YOUR OWN "bible." Take
special note of who is speaking in verse 13. You can see it is
JEHOVAH. Notice that the same Person is still speaking in
verse 16...and calls Himself Jesus!
...take a good
look at verse 15.

tortured man that

(Heb. 12:29).
(See Prov. 8:17; II
Thess. 2:16; John 3:16 Cf. Prov. 6:16; 8:13; Rom. 9:13).
(See Gen. 9:5-6; Lev. 24:21; Nu. 35:30; Rom.
13:1-4). He also instituted Hell.
This same God has also held His Word intact and

Chapter Eight
THE WORM THAT NEVER DIES
"if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: 44 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. 45 And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: 46 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. 47 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the [K]ingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: 48 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched."

"if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thine
eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the [K]ingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched."
