HowManyPeopleAreGoingtoHell?

Christians hear the phrase “sinners are going to Hell” so often, thestatementhas lostmuchof its impact.Thus it’s instructive toassociatesome real numbers with the claim that God will eternally tormenthumanity’ssinners.

Fewrealizethatevenwithourmodernelectroniccommunications,mostpeoplenevergetachancetohearaboutChrist,much less to learnHisgospelandreceivesalvation.Themajorityofearth’spopulationlivesinastretch of land occupying northern Africa and Asia. Christian missionstrategist Luis Bush calls this rectangular area “the 10/40 window”106,because it lies between10& 40 degrees latitude north of the equator.Andwithaworldpopulationof7.3billion107 (at the timeof thiswriting),thisareaholdstwo-thirdsoftheworld’spopulace,whichamountsto4.87billionpeople.

Mr.Bushgoesontostatethat90%ofthesepeople—4.38billion—willneverevenhearaboutChrist.WhiletraditionalChristiantheologyclaimsthat all of these people are spiritually lost and condemned to spendeternitybeingtormentedinHell.

So let’s paint amental pictureof these4.38 billion people— the onesChristianity claims will spend eternity in Hell. Say we could line thesesinnersinalongrow,whereeachpersonisonefootawayfromthenext.How longmight this lineofpeoplebe?Could itbemeasured inmiles?Would such a line cross theUnitedStates?Could it cross the AtlanticOcean?Andcouldthislinebelongenoughtocircletheearth?

Well,4.38billionpeoplespacedone footapartwouldcreatea line thatwouldcircletheearth’sequator33times.Andifwecouldreachoutintoouter spacewith this lineof unrepentant sinners, itwould reach all thewaytothemoon,thenbacktotheearth,thenbacktothemoon,andthenhalf-waybacktoearth!

4.38billionpeople: that’showmanypeopleare inourworld todaywhowill never hear about Jesus. And according to institutionalizedChristianity,GodmustsendallofthesepeopletoHelltoendureeternalpunishingfortheirsins.

ThoseLostinthePast

But what about all the sinners who lived in the past? The PopulationReferenceBureau108 isanorganization thatestimatespast,currentandfuturepopulationstatistics.AndthisBureaustatesthatthroughoutearth’shistory, approximately 108 billion people have been born and lived onplanetearth.

YetmostofthesepeopleneverevenheardthenameJesusChrist!

Realize that just 200 years ago, there were no radios, televisions,telephones,ortheInternet.Therewerefewbooksandnewspapers.Anditwasn’tuntilalmost1,500yearsafterJesuswalkedtheearththatprintedBiblesbegantoappear—notthatthesedidalotofgood,becausemostoftheworld’spopulationdidn’tknowhowtoreaduntilthemiddle1800’s.

AndtherewereseveralotherissuesthatinhibitedthespreadofChrist’sgospel. In 303 CE, the Roman emperor Diocletian issued a decreerequiring that all handwritten Bibles be destroyed. Sometime later, theRoman Catholic Church ruled the common man “incapable” ofunderstanding the Bible, and only priests, bishops and the Pope were

authorizedtoreadandinterpretScripture.Thenin1229CE,theCouncilofToulouseagainforbidlaymenfromusingBibles,withonlypriestsandbishopsallowedtoreadScriptureatchurch.

Between 1525-1526 CE, William Tyndale published the world’s firstmass-producedEnglishBible translation. ItwasasmallBible thatcouldbe used by common (non-clergy) Christians. But the English religiousauthorities condemned Tyndale’s translation and burned most copies.Then in 1536, England tried Tyndale on a charge of heresy andcondemnedhimtodeath—justforcreatingaBibledesignedforaverageChristians!

Soupuntilthe17thCentury—orabout1,600yearsfromthetimeJesusoriginally preached His gospel — access to the biblical writings washeavily regulated by institutionalized, state-sponsored religions.ThereforeifonewantedtohearaboutChrist,theyusuallyhadtoattendagovernment-approved church and listen to its particular version ofChrist’sgospel.

During the first 1,600 years of Christianity, lay worshipers found itextremelydifficulttosharethetruegospelwithothers,withmostsharingdoneviawordofmouthandfrommemory.

HowManyPeopleActuallyHeardtheGospel?

Thusthroughoutearth’shistory,farfewerpeopleheardaboutChristthanonemightexpect.Butjusttokeepthingssimple,let’sassumethatinthepast,thesamepercentageofthepopulationhadnoaccesstothegospelastoday:thatpercentagebeing60%(4.38billion,dividedby7.3billion,times 100).Of course,we know this percentage is far underestimated,becauseofthevariousissueswejustreviewed.

Soifweassumethat60%of theearth’s108billionpeopleneverheardthegospel,thiswouldmeanthatatleast65billionpeopleneverhadtheopportunity to be saved. And according to most Christian authorities,thesetens-of-billionsofpeopleeitherarenowbeing—orwillbe in thefuture—eternallytormentedinHell.

Soimaginethatwecanlineupthese65billionsinnersinarowonefoot

apart from each other. If we could do this, this group of sinnerswouldcircletheearth’sequator492times.Andifwecouldstringthesesinnersbetween the earth and themoon, they would reach themoon— thentravelback to theearth—and then repeat thisback-and-forthprocessbetween the earth and themoon 25 times.And if we separated thesepeopleby7½feetinsteadofonefoot,thislineof65billionsinnerswhoneverheardaboutChristwouldreachall theway to thesun:93millionmilesofunsavedsinners!

ThinkAboutThis

A large segment of institutionalized Christianity tells us these tens-of-billionsofpeoplesufferedthroughthetrialsofhumanlife,onlytodieandbe eternally lost with absolutely no chance of salvation. Furthermore,Christianchurchestell us this vastoceanof the lostandunsaved—aline of sinners that would stretch all the way to the sun— will spendeternitysufferingfierytormentinaplacecalledHell.

AGodofHypocrisy?

Christian leaderswouldhaveusbelieve theLordandSaviorwho gaveupallHispowerandglorytobecomeamortalmansoHecoulddie forour sins, performed this incredible sacrifice to save— at best— lessthan40%ofhumanity,whileGodcondemnsalltheresttosufferinHell.Furthermore,it’sonlythroughtheeffortsofdedicatedChristianchurches,fueledbythetithes,offeringsanddonationsofindividualChristians, thatGodisabletosaveanyone.

Butisthisassertionreallytrue?

In Matthew 9:36, Jesus was moved with compassion because themultitudes were “as sheep having no shepherd.” So does acompassionate God of love simply turn His back to tens-of-billions ofspirituallyhelplesspeopleandconsignthemtoeternaltorment?

We’veallseenpicturesofstarvingchildreninIndiaandAfrica,thosewhooften die before they are 10 years old. Yet institutionalizedChristianitytells us these children must pass on to eternal torment because theywerebornsinners—andthat theydeservesuchpunishment—simply

becausetheywereborninthewrongplace,atthewrongtime,suchthattheycouldnotlearnaboutJesusChristandHissalvation.

And yes,manydedicatedmissionarieshavegone toother nations andtriedtospreadthegospeltothesepeople.Butevenintoday’sworld,allsuch efforts have left 60% of the world’s population without anyknowledgeofChrist.Somissionariesaren’ttheanswer,astherearejusttoomanypeopleandfartoofewmissionaries.

2—TheSuppressed“GoodNews”

“Wedoknow thatnopersoncanbesavedexcept throughChrist.Wedonot know that only thosewho knowHim can be saved byHim.”

―C.S.Lewis

In theBible, theGreek translated into theEnglishword“gospel”meansgood news. And the original Christian disciples heard good news fromJesusChrist that turned their livesupside-down.Some left their jobs tosharethat news;while others risked death to reach for a spiritual goaltheyesteemedfarmorevaluablethananythingwithintheearthlyrealm.

These early converts had a “vision” that modern Christians just don’thave.

So let’s begin to re-discover that vision by reading about some of themostevilpeoplethathaveeverlived—andwhatGodpromisestothesepeople.

IIKings21:1-7:

Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king, and hereigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem; and his mother’s name wasHephzibah.Hedidevil in thesightof theLORD,according to theabominationsof thenationswhomtheLORDdispossessedbeforethesonsofIsrael.

For he rebuilt the high places which Hezekiah his father haddestroyed;andheerectedaltarsforBaal(apagangod)andmadean Asherah (an idol), as Ahab king of Israel had done, andworshipedallthehostofheaven(thestarsandplanets)andservedthem.HebuiltaltarsinthehouseoftheLORD,ofwhichtheLORDhadsaid,“InJerusalemIwillputMyname.”ForhebuiltaltarsforallthehostofheaveninthetwocourtsofthehouseoftheLORD.Hemadehissonpassthroughthefire(hesacrificedhissonasaburntoffering to pagan gods), practiced witchcraft and used divination,anddealtwithmediumsandspiritists.

Hedidmuchevil inthesightoftheLORDprovokingHimtoanger.

ThenhesetthecarvedimageofAsherahthathehadmade,inthehouse(God’s temple)ofwhichtheLORDsaid toDavidandtohissonSolomon,“InthishouseandinJerusalem,whichIhavechosenfromallthetribesofIsrael,IwillputMynameforever.”

King Manasseh and the Israelite populace seemingly rejoiced inexecuting evil and rebelling against God. And according to traditionalChristian theology, theseare thevery kindsof peopleGodwouldmostcertainlytormentinHell.

But now readEzekiel 37:9-11,wherewe find a surprising outcome forthesepeople.HerewehaveaprophecyabouttheentireNationofIsrael,which includes all of Jacob’s descendants. And by definition, “all”includesthepeoplewejustreadaboutinIIKings.Readthisastonishingprophecy:

ThenHesaidtome,“Prophesytothebreath,prophesy,sonofman,and say to thebreath, ‘Thus says theLordGOD,Come from thefourwinds,Obreath,andbreatheontheseslain,thattheycometolife.’”SoIprophesiedasHecommandedme,andthebreathcameinto them, and they came to life and stood on their feet, anexceedingly great army [Hebrew: force of men]. Then He said tome, “Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel;behold, they say, ‘Our bones are dried up and our hope hasperished.Wearecompletelycutoff.’”

Pleasereadthatagain:“thesebonesarethewholeHouseofIsrael.”

ThispassageseemstorefertoeverylastIsraelitethathaseverlived.SoIcheckedthephraseinmultipletranslations.AndIcheckedtheoriginalHebrewtranslated“whole”andfoundthatitindeedmeansall,every,thewhole. I also consulted several biblical commentaries and found thateachagreedthatthisversereferstoallofIsrael:everyIsraelitethathaseverlived.

____

Nowlet’scontinuewithverses12-14,rememberinghowtheprophetwaswritingabout“all”theIsraelites:

Therefore prophesy and say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD,

“Behold, Iwillopenyourgravesandcauseyou tocomeupoutofyourgraves,Mypeople;andIwillbringyouintothelandofIsrael.ThenyouwillknowthatIamtheLORD,whenIhaveopenedyourgravesandcausedyoutocomeupoutofyourgraves,Mypeople.IwillputMyspiritwithinyouandyouwill come to life, and Iwillplaceyouonyourownland.ThenyouwillknowthatI, theLORD,havespokenanddoneit,”declarestheLORD.

ThinkAboutThis

ThroughEzekiel,GoddeclaredthateveryIsraelitewhohaseverlived—whichincludesalltherebelliouspeoplewejustreadaboutinIIKings—will be resurrected and given God’s Spirit. And that’s what we callsalvation—that’showpeoplebecomeborn-againchildrenofGod!

____

MorePromisesofSalvation

Nowlet’smoveforwardacoupleofchapterstoEzekiel39:25-29:

ThereforethussaystheLordGOD,“NowIwillrestorethefortunesofJacobandhavemercyonthewholehouseofIsrael;andIwillbejealousforMyholyname.Theywillforgettheirdisgraceandalltheirtreachery which they perpetrated against Me, when they livesecurelyontheirownlandwithnoonetomakethemafraid.WhenIbringthembackfromthepeoplesandgatherthemfromthelandsoftheirenemies,thenIshallbesanctifiedthroughtheminthesightofthemany nations.Then theywill know that I am the LORD theirGodbecause I made them go into exile among the nations, andthengatheredthemagaintotheirownland;andIwillleavenoneofthemthereanylonger.IwillnothideMyfacefromthemanylonger,for I will have poured out My Spirit on the House of Israel,”declarestheLordGOD.

So there it is again: Ezekiel, under the inspiration of God, wrote thateveryIsraelitethathaseverlivedwill“knowtheLord”—andbegiventheHolySpirit!

3—SalvationGoesFarBeyondIsrael

Sofar,we’ve justscratched thesurfaceofwhatGod intends todowithhuman beings, because Israel is just one small part of God’s greatspiritualharvestofhumanity.

NowlookatwhatJesussaidinJohn6:32-33:

Jesus thensaid to them, “Truly, truly, Isay toyou, it isnotMoseswhohasgivenyouthebreadoutofheaven,butitisMyFatherwhogivesyouthetruebreadoutofheaven.ForthebreadofGodisthatwhichcomesdownoutofheaven,andgiveslifetotheworld.”

SowhydoyouthinkJesussaidHewouldgiveeternallifeto“theworld?”Wasit justaslipofthetongue?OrdidtheLordactuallymeanwhatHesaid?

NowreadwhattheapostleJohnwroteinIJohn2:1-2:

Mylittlechildren, Iamwritingthesethingstoyousothatyoumaynotsin.And ifanyonesins,wehaveanAdvocatewith theFather,JesusChristtherighteous;andHeHimselfisthepropitiationforoursins;andnotforoursonly,butalsoforthoseofthewholeworld.

Therefore,JohncertainlybelievedwhatJesussaid inJohn6:33—thatHediedforthe“whole”world,andnotjustforthosewhoareChristians.

NowaddJohn1:6-7,wheretheapostlewrotethis:

There came a man sent from God, whose name was John. Hecameasawitness,totestifyabouttheLight(JesusChrist),sothatallmightbelievethroughhim.

SoJohnwrotethesamethingagain:Jesusmadeitpossiblefor“all”menandwomentobelieve—andthusbesaved.

Finally,let’sgotoJohnChapter3,wherewelearnwheretheapostlegothisinformation.ReadwhatJesussaidinverses14&15:

AsMoseslifteduptheserpentinthewilderness,evensomusttheSonofManbeliftedup;sothatwhoeverbelieveswill inHimhaveeternallife.

Thus far, all these passages agree with traditional Christian theology:

everyhumanbeingcanbesaved, if they hear the gospel, believe andthen repent. But Christian theology then goes on to limit the time ofsalvation, by stipulating that God can save only those who hear thegospelwithintheirhumanlifetime.

____

PaulDisagreeswithChristianTheology

Let’sreadwhattheapostlePaulwroteinRomans5:18-19:

Sothenasthroughonetransgressionthereresultedcondemnationtoallmen,evensothroughoneactofrighteousnessthereresultedjustification of life to all men. For as through the one man’sdisobedience themany weremade sinners, even so through theobedienceoftheOnethemanywillbemaderighteous.

Noambiguityhere:Paulplainlywrote that“justificationof life”—bytheactionsandworksofChristthatprovidedforrepentance,forgivenessandsalvation—willcomeupon“all”men.

Yetitcertainlydidnotcomeuponthose65billionwhoneverheardaboutChrist!

Wealready reviewedstatistics proving that themajority of humanity—“the many” — never had any chance at salvation. Nevertheless, Paulwrote“themany”willbemaderighteous.

SoPaul’sposition flies in the faceof traditionalChristianity’sbelief thatGod only saves those called in this human life. And this is why sometheologiansbalkatPaul’suseof“allmen”inverse18,arguingtheversemeans just the opposite of what it says. These theologians have noproblemopenlycontradictingourLordandSavior:

“ForthebreadofGodisthatwhichcomesdownoutofheaven,andgiveslifetotheworld”(John6:33).

“…Ididnotcometojudgetheworld,buttosavetheworld”(John12:47).”

____

PaulClarifiesHisPosition

Now I grant you that in Romans 5:18-19, Paul did not state that Godintends to save “all” of humanity. But Paul was just warming up. LetcontinuewithwhathewroteinColossians1:19-20:

ForitwastheFather’sgoodpleasureforallthefullnesstodwellinHim, and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, havingmade peace through the blood of His cross; through Him, I say,whetherthingsonearthorthingsinheaven.

Didyougetthat?PaulwrotethatGodtheFatherisreconciling“allthings”toHimself.

But yet again, institutionalized theologians arguewithwhatPaulwrote.Here is how one biblical commentator tried to nullify Paul’s statement:“(thisverse)…relatesonlytothosethingswhichareinheavenandearth—forthoseonlyarespecified.Nothingissaidoftheinhabitantsofhell.”Obviously,Hell issuchan integralpartof thisman’s thinking, thateventhewordsofanapostlecannotchangehisviews.

Nevertheless,PauldidwritethatGodwillreconcile“allthings”toHimself—andtheGreekmeanstofullyreconcile.Furthermore,Paulwentontoexplainhow“allthings”—thosesamethingsthatwillbefullyreconciledtoGod—includethingsonearthandthingsinHeaven.

Sohere’san interestingquestion:WasPaulsuggestingthatGodsavessomeofthelostinHeaven?

Let’sreadRomans11:30-32andbegintofindout:

For justasyouonceweredisobedienttoGod(PaulwaswritingtoGentileChristians), but now have been shownmercy because oftheir disobedience (the Israelites), so these also now have beendisobedient,thatbecauseofthemercyshowntoyoutheyalsomaynowbeshownmercy.ForGodhasshutupall indisobediencesothatHemayshowmercytoall.

HerePaulplainlystatesthatGodwillshowmercyto“all”people.ThusheagreeswithwhatJesussaidinJohn6:33and12:47:Godisnoteternallycondemning unsaved sinners. And He intends to offer salvation andeternallifetoeveryone.

____

Finally,let’sreadwhatPaulwroteinICorinthians15:21-22:

For since by a man came death, by a man also came theresurrectionof thedead.Foras inAdamalldie,evenso inChristshallallbemadealive.

By now, it should be clear that Paul disagrees with modern Christiantheology.ForPaulwrotethateveryonethathasdied—eventhosewhodiedonearthwithoutChristandHissalvation—willberesurrectedandgivenanewlife.

Sofollowthislogic:

If“all”peopleshallagainbemadealive;

AndGodwillshowmercyto“all”people;

AndGodintendstofullyreconcile“all things” inHeavenandearthtoHimself.

Then how can God condemn more than 65 billion sinners who neverevenheardthenameJesusChrist,without first trying to reconcilewiththem?

____

Ofcourse,somewillarguethatPaulisjustbeatingaroundthebush:thatifhereallybelieved thatGod intends to saveeveryone,hewould haveplainlywritten just that.So let’s read ITimothy2:3-4,averseyouhaveprobablyneverheardatchurch.

DidtheOtherBiblicalWritersAgree?

Sowhat about the other apostles, the disciples and the prophets?Didtheir teachings conform with this view that God intends to saveeveryone?Let’sbegintofindoutbyreadingActs2:16-17:

But this is what was spoken of through the prophet Joel: ‘And itshallbeinthelastdays,‘Godsays,‘thatIwillpourforthofmyspiritonallmankind;andyoursonsandyourdaughtersshallprophesy,and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shalldreamdreams.’

Most people read through these verses without ever noting theirsignificance.ThispassagedoesnotsayGodwillpouroutHisSpiritonallwhoareintheChurch.Instead,itquotesaprophecyinJoel2:28,whereGodpromisestopourHisSpiritouton“all”humanbeings.

HereiswhatJoelwrote:

It will come about after this That I will pour out My Spirit on allmankind;Andyoursonsanddaughterswillprophesy,Youroldmenwilldreamdreams,Youryoungmenwillseevisions.

Through the prophet Joel, God promised to pour His Spirit out oneveryone that has ever lived. Thus the prophet Joel and the author ofActsagree:Godintendstosaveeveryone!

____

NowlookatwhattheapostlePeterwroteaboutthissubject.IIPeter3:9(KJV):

TheLordisnotslackconcerninghispromise,assomemencountslackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that anyshouldperish,butthatallshouldcometorepentance.

ThisissimilartowhatPaulwroteinITimothy2:4.ButherePeterstatedthat it’sGod’swill and “promise” to bring everyone to repentance.AndwhatdidJesussayaboutGodaccomplishingHiswill?Mark10:27:

Lookingat them,Jesussaid, “Withpeople it is impossible,butnotwithGod;forallthingsarepossiblewithGod.”

And“allthings”certainlyincludessavingallofhumanity.

Ifyoumentallyanswered“yes”tothesequestions,thenwecansettlethismatter once and for all. Let’s look at one of those famous memoryScriptures.AlmosteveryChristianclaimstheyknowthispassage—andbelievesit.

ButdoyoureallybelievewhatJesussaid?

ReadJohn3:16-17:

“ForGodso lovedtheworld, thatHegaveHisonlybegottenSon,thatwhoeverbelievesinHimshallnotperish,buthaveeternallife.ForGoddidnotsendtheSonintotheworldtojudgetheworld,butthattheworldmightbesavedthroughHim.”

Jesuscametoearthanddiedforhumanity’ssinsbecauseGodlovestheworld.

____

NowlookatJohn12:32.HereagainwehavethewordsofJesusChrist,the Lord and Savior Christians claim to believe, follow and trust.Moreover, this same Jesus is the “Word of God,” the One ChristiansshouldacceptastheirHighestSpiritualAuthority.

SoreadwhatJesussaidabouttheultimatedestinyofhumanity:AndI,ifIamliftedupfromtheearth,willdrawallmentomyself.

You just read a statement by Christ that changes the entire face ofChristianity. Jesus sweeps aside institutionalized Christianity’s falsedoctrine ofHell, then clearly reiterates howGod intends to save everyhumanbeingthathaseverbeenborn.

AndthatreallyisBigNews!

ButJesusactuallysaidmore.Inthepreviousverse,theGreektranslatedinto theEnglish “draw” ishel-koo’-o,which literallymeansdrag orpull.Acts21:30usesthisword,whenitstateshowtheJewswereangrywithPaul and they threw (dragged) himout of theTemple. James2:6 useshel-koo’-o when the apostle wrote about people being arrested anddragged into court. And theword is used in John 21:10-11, where thedisciplesdraggedanetfullof153largefishfromtheirboattotheshore.

ThereforeJesusChrist,theEternalCreatorandWordofGod,statedHewill pull or evendrageveryonethat has ever been born toHis offer ofsalvation,apparentlykickingandscreamingifnecessary…

And this was the “good news”— the gospel— that Jesus brought tohumanity!

____

OneFinalProof

At this point, you’ve readScripture afterScripture showing how Jesus,theapostlesPaul,Peter,andJohn,andtheauthorofActsallwrotethatGodintendstosaveeveryone.You’vealsoseenhowtheprophetEzekielwrote thatGodwillsaveallofancient Israel,andhow theprophet JoelwrotethatGodwillputHisSpiritintoallofhumanity.

But for thosewhooccasionallybear thenameDoubtingThomas, thereremains one final and conclusive proof that God intends to saveeveryone:

“Declareandsetforthyourcase;Indeed,letthemconsulttogether.Whohasannouncedthisfromofold?Whohaslongsincedeclaredit?IsitnotI,theLORD?AndthereisnootherGodbesidesMe,ArighteousGodandaSavior;ThereisnoneexceptMe.TurntoMeandbesaved,alltheendsoftheearth;ForIamGod,andthereisnoother”(Isaiah45:21-22).

Thesubjectofthispassageissalvation.Yettobecertain,IlookeduptheHebrew translated into the English “saved.” It precisely means: to besaved. In fact, theOld Testament uses this word when it refers to theLordGodasour“Savior.”

AlsonoticehowthisprophecyisnotaddressedtotheIsraelites;neitherisitdirectedatChristiansor theChurch. Instead, it’saddressedto“all theendsof theearth.”TheoriginalHebrewmeans to theendsof theearthwithoutany limits.Andthis iswhytheContemporaryEnglishVersionoftheBiblerendersthisverseasfollows:

“Iinvitethewholeworldtoturntomeandbesaved.”

____

Nowcontinuewithverse23:

“IhaveswornbyMyself,ThewordhasgoneforthfromMymouthinrighteousnessAndwillnotturnback…”

God is about to make a promise that involves swearing by Himself,apparently because there is no one greater by which to swear. Godcannot turn backon this promise.Hehas obligatedHimself to performwhatHeisabouttoreveal.Hisholiness,character,andeternalreputationareontheline.GodmustdowhatHepromiseshere.

Solet’sreadwhatGodhaspromised:

4—Conclusion

Since the days when the Messiah walked the earth, institutionalizedChristian religions have been systematically replacing our Lord’s “goodnews”withhumanly-deriveddoctrinesdesignedtofocusourattentiononchurches and their leaders, rather than the teachings of Jesus Christ.Andjustlikethe1stCenturyreligiousleaderswhoturnedagainstourLordand Savior, modern Christian leaders work to suppress what Jesustaught.

Andwhydotheydothis?

Because if God’s people were to discover that Jesus is their “only”spiritual leaderand teacher—then learn thatsalvation isnot limited tothose who accept Christ while they are alive on planet earth — theywould soon come to realize how there is little need for institutionalizedchurches.

Everyonewillgetachancetohearthegospel,repentandclaimthegiftofChrist’ssalvation;

Thosewho do not hear the gospel before they die, will have theopportunity to learnandaccept itafter theyare resurrected in theKingdomofGod.

Therefore,ifyouareaChristian,youmustmakeadecision:

Will you choose to believe the doctrines and creeds of humaninstitutions, which generate their financial lifeblood by claiming thatmost human beings are eternally lost and consigned to eternalpunishmentinHell?

Or…

Will you believe Jesus Christ, His apostles, and the prophets, all ofwhichclearlyandplainlyannouncedthegoodnews—God’spromise—thatHewilloffersalvationtoeveryonewhohaseverlived?
