Hell’s Fire vs. Heaven’s Peace
Hip-Hop & R&B is a movement that we have felt allowed us youngsters to freely express ourselves in today’s world. I’m not mad at that. There was however a turning point for me working in the entertainment industry for some years. I had to think of the long haul. You know, when we start to think about family, husbands, kids, homes, future stuff. I asked myself, what was my future? As I contemplated in my mind the thoughts of riches and a prosperous life, I was confronted with the reality that some of us rarely think about. We actually often take the “it will never happen to me” attitude; but it’s the inevitable for all living beings….death.
What is there for us when this life is over? Do we just hang out in the ground with an unconscious brain, or is there this thing called heaven and or hell. For those of us who were brought up in church we love God and believe or at least have heard of this place called heaven, but did we or do we believe? Recently I came across some people who have had what are called NDE or Near Death Experiences. The stories of these people and what I found in the Bible have changed my life. This blog is my attempt to share my findings with as many people as possible. I am on fire for God and totally believe that there is an “After Life”. Where will we spend it? Let’s explore this…
What’s the Deal with Hell?
Hell is a real place! Most of us have heard of Hell as a place of fire and brimstone with a lake of fire that will keep our backsides more than hot for all eternity. I guess this may seem a little too fantastic for some to consider. Well what does the word of God say?
Matthew 10:28 International Standard Version (©2008)
Stop being afraid of those who kill the body but can't kill the soul. Instead, be afraid of the one who can destroy both body and soul in hell.
Luke 12:5 International Standard Version (©2008)
I'll show you the one you should be afraid of. Be afraid of the one who has the authority to throw you into hell after killing you. Yes, I tell you, be afraid of him!
Matthew 5:22 King James Bible
But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
Matthew 23:33 International Standard Version (©2008)
You snakes, you children of serpents! How can you escape being condemned to hell?
2 Peter 2:4 King James Bible
For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;
Rev 1:18 King James Bible
I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.

Rev 20:10 International Standard Version (©2008)
And the devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet were. They will be tortured day and night forever and ever.
TEAM Jesus Comment: I don’t know about you, but Hell if for an eternity is a long time. I am impatient sometimes with things like tax time, standing in line at the bank…can’t wait for it to be over. And I have always loved the saying all good things and bad will pass. Well in eternity, there is no new start it is forever more. Webster says:
Webster Dictionary: eter•ni•ty 1: the quality or state of being eternal2: infinite time 3plural : age 3b4: the state after death : immortality5: a seemingly endless or immeasurable time
