Thank Carlton Pearson for wisdom and understanding of the Scriptures. I have been seeking TRUTH for over 35 years , studied Hebrew, Greek, Old Testament and the New Testament and no Advil. I went to that A to Z USA conference. Church of God in christ, 7th Day Adventist, Black Israelite you name it been there done that. But when I found the new Carlton Pearson I knew I found what I’ve been missing. Hallelujah all Praise to our Creator. ❤

What I hear Pearson relate is his emotional difficulty and how it affected his beliefs about hell. Scarcely any Scripture, and mostly Carlton's opinions. Jesus loved us so much, He gave His mortal life for us on the cross. But what did Jesus say on the subject? Mat 25:31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. Mat 25:32 Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. Mat 25:33 And he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left. Mat 25:34 Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.... Mat 25:41 “Then he will say to those on his left, _‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels._ Mat 25:42 For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, Mat 25:43 I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’ Mat 25:44 Then they also will answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?’ Mat 25:45 Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’ Mat 25:46 And _these will go away into eternal punishment,_ but the righteous into eternal life.” Mat 7:13 “Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. Mat 7:14 For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few. Rev 20:7 And when the thousand years are ended, Satan will be released from his prison Rev 20:8 and will come out to deceive the nations that are at the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them for battle; their number is like the sand of the sea. Rev 20:9 And they marched up over the broad plain of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city, but fire came down from heaven and consumed them, Rev 20:10 and the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur where the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever. Rev 20:11 Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. From his presence earth and sky fled away, and no place was found for them. Rev 20:12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done. Rev 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them, according to what they had done. Rev 20:14 Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. Rev 20:15 And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire. God made it extremely easy to avoid the lake of fire. Extremely easy! Trust in the propitiation Jesus made for your sins, and you will receive God's gift of grace, justification will be tallied to your account from righteous Christ, and you will have eternal life. Easy-peasy! But most people refuse the gift. Most people refuse to believe that they are lost in sin without Christ's redemption. Most people don't want to have anything to do with God! They prefer to spend eternity apart from God. And God, in His graciousness, gives them what they've always wanted. A just and loving God will not _force_ people to come and live with Him, after all. People send _themselves_ to perdition by their own free will. 2Thess 1:9 They will suffer the punishment of eternal destruction, _away from the presence of the Lord_ and from the glory of his might.
