An important book: "Hope Beyond Hell"

God is a Father. He is a good Father. A good father plans to bring up each and every one of his children into the right way of successful life.

Sure, a father provides "free will" to his children. And so has the God Who gave us the Holy Scriptures. God has allowed His children free choice. Yet He provides pain as a result of bad choices.

What is the pain there for? The pain is instructive. It is remedial. It is a result of the errors of the child...but it is a corrective influence upon the child.

"Hell" as used in much of Christian tradition has been described as an unending place of terrible pain for those who dared to defy the Christian God in their short lifetime on earth. I urge you to reexamine what the Holy Scriptures say about this subject.

I recommend a book which correctly views the Holy Scriptures with regards to the concept of hell.

If you'd like, go to: www.hopebeyondhell.net/ (http://www.hopebeyondhell.net/) for a free ebook that will explain the plan of "universal salvation" as understood by one brother in Jesus.

My own understanding is somewhat different. I call it "universal remedialism" because I understand that many many people will miss the opportunity for salvation in Jesus the Messiah, yet will be reconciled to Him and the Father at a later time after much cleansing in the Gehenna (trash heap).

"Salvation", as properly understood is only available now and until Jesus returns at the close of this age. Yet there will be a second chance for all God's children ... until every prodigal son is wellcomed home by the Father!
