Hell!?

Hello Dear Sisters!
I just read a FANTASTIC article on hell.  It is so helpful as a foundation.  I  have thought of this quite a bit of late, espcially with the whole Rob Bell scandle (if you don't know he has been a prominante grace focused teacher and preacher for the past 10 years who recently wrote a book called Love Wins that is reported to be unbibilicaly based regarding an after death chance to gain salvation so that basicly all humans will be saved.)  And while his proposal sound ideal and fluffy and happy as you can see in this article that would not be justice.

 I love the authors paraphrase of C.S. Lewis that says either we say, "Thy will be done" to Yahweh or he saying "Thy will be done" to us, wow!  This was so helpful with some very real questions I have had.  I hope you find it equally enlightening.  I also loved the quote regarding authority, "Satan does not rule hell".  I have had a misconception of that for 31 years.

 I was thinking about Satan and what he is doing here on earth and I realized there are no redeeming qualities to him.  I know that is silly but it just really hit me.  He is bereft of anything good.  His existence is comprised of all the awful emotions you have ever experienced guilt, fear, hate ,rage, vengeance, jealously, resentment etc.  He exists and lives in a reality without Yahweh.

Also, having another realization.  I have been watching How I Met Your Mother.  There are some really funny things in there but I also am realizing how real the characters have become to me and I'm not sure that is a good thing.  While I was reading this article I was thinking about there responses to this article. . .as theirs are not the most bibilicaly sound beliefs perhaps I need to reevaluate my watching them.  Not sure going to talk with Kevan about it, he is coming home for lunch, yeah.   Love, prayers and thoughts to each of you today.
