"And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him." Revelation 12:9
There is no hell, its a medieval hoax. Satan is on earth, this place is literary hell inhabited by demons jfl
This is a short phase of end times.
Read the book till the end:
"7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.
10
And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire."
Revelation 20
"And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: "
Hebrews 9:27
So everyone, who is not written in the book of life will go into judgment and damnation.
To say there is no hell or that there is a God who will pass everyone to heaven because he is the old big bearded cool dude is spiritual bluepill. He is holy and righteous.
But that He is indeed good is manifested, not only, but ultimately in the perfect sacrifice for our sins.: himself, God in the human flesh, Jesus Christ. It is easy to get saved by believing, but it is foolishness to most of the people.
"And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. " Rev 21:17
About heaven:
"But nothing unclean will ever enter it, nor anyone who does what is detestable or false, but only those who are written in the Lamb's book of life. "
Revelation 21:27
Ask yourself, if you are so good to make it in there?
@Smitty: I am not convinced by the doctrine of annihilation, which is also strongly represented in the minority in Christianity (especially popular with cults of Jehovah's Witnesses)
