The so-called "Christians" do not understand that it is NOT heaven, but a Kingdom Government that Christ Jesus will restore. It will rule over the restored earth and will bring perfection back to mankind. No more sickness no more death!
Here are the proofs--but first--what happens to man at death: Ecclesiastes 9:5, "For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing at all, nor do they have any more reward, because all memory of them is forgotten. 6 Also, their love and their hate and their jealousy have already perished, and they no longer have any share in what is done under the sun. Psalm 146:4 “when a man dies, “his thoughts do perish.
Nominal “Christian” pastors use this to scare people into going to church and donating money to keep out of hellfire.” God would never roast and toast anyone! Hellfire?
The word for that came from the word Gehenna, the common word for the Valley of Hinnom. That place east of Jerusalem was the city garbage dump. The city used burning sulfur to keep down disease.
When Jesus used the word as the place of no return everyone understood what he meant, when he spoke of it. Webster's Dictionary says that the English word "hell" is equal to the Hebrew word Sheol and Hell: SHEOL AND HADES --What do they really mean? Let’s ask an authority--d the Greek word Hades.
Hell is the common grave of mankind--according to Jesus Christ. John 11:11 Jesus said Lazarus was “sleeping” and he was going there to awaken him--and upwards of 500 people saw him. The Hebrew word Sheol, which referred to the “abode of the dead,” is translated “hell” in some versions of the Bible.
What does this passage reveal about the condition of the dead? Do they suffer in Sheol in order to atone for their errors? No, for they “know nothing.”
That is why the patriarch Job, when suffering terribly because of a severe illness, begged God: “Protect me in hell Hebrew, Sheol.” (Job 14:13; Douay-Rheims Version) What meaning would his request have had if Sheol was a place of eternal torment? Sheol (pronounced "Sheh-ole") , in Hebrew the "underworld", or "pit". .. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheol , the realm of dead, the common grave of mankind, Hell.
In older English translations of the Bible, notably the Authorized or King James Bible ... en.wiktionary.org/wiki/sheol Jesus was perfect. Let me ask you, was Jesus deserving of eternal burning in “The teaching of the most churches affirms the existence of hell and its eternity. Hades/sheol/hell since they are all one in the same...one is greek/hebrew/english?
Immediately after death the souls of those who die in a state of mortal sin descend into hell, where they suffer the punishments of hell, ‘eternal fire.’ The chief punishment of hell is eternal separation from God.”—Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1994 edition, page 270. What does the Bible say?
“For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing, for there is no work or thought or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol, to which you are going.”—Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10, Revised Standard Version.
Jesus said to keep on seeking first the Kingdom and his righteousness Matthew 6:33 Historically, when people stopped looking for the kingdom to come on the earth, many attempted to make the kingdom by themselves, without Jesus' arrival. Significant doctrinal books such as Augustine's "City of God" taught that the church on the earth is essentially the kingdom of God. For many centuries, his church took on temporal power, as a result, even crowning kings, etc. But Jesus taught to keep on the watch and stay awake because on a day that you do not think to be it, the Son of Man is coming.
Matthew 24:42-44 We are, finally, now living in a time when it is truly so that "if these days were not cut short, no flesh would be saved." Matthew 24:21-22.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
