CAN THERE BE SALVATION IN HELL?

CAN THERE BE SALVATION IN HELL?

Does grace extend beyond the gates of death?

We know that Jesus went to Hell and preached there. We know that what Jesus did we will do.

But what is not commonly known is whether the grace of salvation operates beyond death.

The belief that the dead are outside the realm of salvation is so strongly held that simply questioning this premise enrages many people.

And yet how can we really know that? Does scripture absolutely demand it?

‘It is appointed to men once to die, but after this the judgment’. Hebrews 9:27

This scripture precludes re-incarnation of the same soul into a different body.

Judgement

Yet we know from Revelations that the judgment of Jesus does not occur for those living in the Millennial Kingdom and those in death and Hell until the end of the 1000-year reign.

Only the bodies of the raptured saints, living and dead, will have been judged up to that time

and found worthy to wear the white robes.

Eternity

God exists in eternity.

Eternity, by its nature, precludes change. It is static, unchangeable.

Time was created on the first day when God divided between the light and the darkness and created a measurable environment. It is sealed away from eternity.

Time

Time is a gift of grace. It allows us to repent/change.

If we had been in eternity when Adam rejected God then that choice would have been irrevocable.

Time, because it has a beginning and end and therefore the opportunity for re-creation, allows us to repent and love God once more once we are set free from the bondage of sin. Time is a gift of grace.

Satan and the fallen angels too abide in time. They were cast out of heaven/eternity and into time. If this were not so then they could not be judged at the end of time along with humanity.

Revelations 12:12 tells us that Satan is infuriated by the fact that he has only a short time therefore he must be subject to time.

Time will exist from the first day until the final judgment when the former things will pass away and there will be a new heaven and a new earth. Time will be no more, nor will those who have been cast into the Lake of Fire ‘Be’ any more.

The Damned in Hell

Those who now inhabit Hell are not there by the judgment of Jesus. Their own words and actions in life have determined their assignment to the pains of death and Hell. They have received that for which their mouths spoke and their deeds served, that which Adam chose – death.

Final judgment awaits the end of time so some other factors must be at work.

The Choice of a Soul

The Lord described it this way through prophecies to Catherine of Sienna in “Dialogues”.

“Each soul chooses it’s destination at death by the habits of their life, none wait for judgment. Love draws the just towards heaven, the imperfect to purgatory, and Hate draws the wicked, through fear, into Hell”.

It is assumed that, given a choice, everyone would choose Heaven over Hell. But that is not so. We choose what is familiar to us – not what we prefer. Those familiar with a hellish life will naturally choose Hell, not Heaven.

It takes power to break away from what is familiar, even for something better. And yet,

the Lord is plenteous/rich in mercy, no sin can exhaust it. The Lord is longsuffering and is not willing that any should perish (eternally) but that all should come to repentance. Scripture declares that we should have hope for the dead. 1 Thessalonians 4:13

About the author: Philip Marzec

Pastor Philip G. Marzec has been an ordained minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ since 1983. He has been researching and writing on the topic of Salvation in Hell since 1992. Jesus is the only saviour the world needs. He is able to offer that choice of salvation to every soul ever born otherwise He would be insufficient for the task of saving the world. He will see to it that every soul gets a chance to know Him and accept or reject His offer to make them a part of YHWH's eternal family.

    Hi would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re
    using? I’m going to start my own blog soon but I’m having a difficult time choosing
    between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
    The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs
    and I’m looking for something completely unique.
    P.S Sorry for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
