Christianity's Fear Complex...

The word hell in the KJV is used 23 times in the NT of which 12 are the word gehenna Used only by Jesus and once in James 3:6 talking about our tongue. Everytime the word "hell" in the KJV is referenced to Jesus in the gospels the word hades is used 4 times and 11 times the word gehenna. The word gehenna=The valley (Hebrew word=gehe) of the son ofhinnom.

Let's see a verse to see what KJV "The LORD" felt about people burning in hinnom I capitalized "VALLEY OF THE SON OF HINNOM"...

Jer 7:31 KJV And they have built the high places of Tophet, which is in the VALLEY OF THE SON OF HINNOM, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my heart.

Also Check out Luke 9:54-56 to see what KJV Jesus had to say about people being burned in literal fire...

Luke 9:54 KJV And his disciples James and John having seen, said, `Sir, wilt thou that we may command fire to come down from the heaven, and to consume them, as also Elijah did?'
Luk 9:55 and having turned, he rebuked them, and said, `Ye have not known of what spirit ye are;
Luk 9:56 for the Son of Man did not come to destroy men's lives, but to save;' and they went on to another village.

We are all God the fathers children some are prodigals not living the life that we or God wants us to, some are the jealous brother who's mad that Jesus won't torture people in literal fire for eternity...But I am prophetically declaring that there is a third son rising up who does not have to be mentioned by name because his heart and identity is that of the father....GOD IS LOVE! now if you believe that Jesus could rebuke his disciples for wanting to "light em up" then turn around and allow people to torture in fire then the Jesus you serve would be a hypocrite, Sorry I'll stick with the redeemer of life!

concerning sin at the finished work of the cross Jesus completely and totally bridged the gap between "our sin" and the father he was the perfect lamb that was slain. Sin may destract US from being productive here in this life but God the father, nor the son is holding anyone's sins against them any longer Jesus became the high priest and the lamb the sinner was not examined the sacrifice was, and Jesus was the perfect sacrifice, once and for all!

When John the baptist said behold the lamb who takes away the sins of the world that's exactly what Jesus did. Quit eating the tree of good and evil and eat the tree of life! It's just as filthy to know how to be/do good as it is to know how to be/do evil...JESUS IS ABUNDANT LIFE!

2Co 5:14 For Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died.
2Co 5:15 And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.
2Co 5:16 So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer.
2Co 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!
2Co 5:18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:
2Co 5:19 that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.
2Co 5:20 We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God.
