Won’t it be alright to use hell fire (even if it’s false) as a threat to frighten people into submitting to God? Not really. A disappointed God says, ‘Their fear toward me is taught by the precepts of men’ (Isa 29:13). He rather desires a willingly obedient heart driven by love for Him and goodness - not by fear. And the idea of torment is abhorrent to God. God forbade torture in His Law. Would a God who commands us to love our enemies, wish to burn them forever?

“People are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment.” Hebrews 9:27. When most people read this text, they just take it to mean that the present life of every human is some kind of test that each of us undergoes, at the end of which we die and then face God to be sentenced with reward or punishment based on our performance. Is this understanding scriptural? What is judgment according to the Scriptures?

Where are the dead at present? Is there any hope for them? There is a hell – SHEOL/HADES to which ALL our souls were condemned when Adam fell. That hell is the GRAVE. But there is hope! God promised to RANSOM us from the power of the grave [SHEOL] (Hosea 13:14). He sent Jesus (John 3:16) to die in place of Adam. Jesus paid Adam’s RANSOM and paved the way for the resurrection of all of Adam (Rom 5:12,18). Jesusis the RANSOM for ALL (1Tim 2:6). As in Adam ALL die, so in Christ ALL will be made alive (1Cor 15:22).

Why does any Christian need to learn about the Kingdom of Heaven? Why does Jesus Christ ask us to pray for a Kingdom to come upon the Earth where God's will shall be done as it is in Heaven? Isn't the Kingdom of Heaven supposed to be rather in Heaven? Jesus went about the cities and villages preaching the gospel of the Kingdom. Compared to that, what is the predominant teaching regarding the Kingdom among present-day churches?

If all of Adam’s race fall asleep in death as a penalty for Adam’s sin, how can the Bible (1Cor 15:22) promise ‘in Christ all will be made alive’? God declares in the Bible – ‘I will RANSOM them [mankind] from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death (Hosea 13:14).1Timothy 2:3-6 describes how Jesus Christ fulfilled God's promise.In that explanation, what do these phrases mean - 'ransom for all', 'to be testified in due time' and 'to be saved and to come unto the truth'?

God is the Savior of ALL men, SPECIALLY of those that believe (1Tim 4:10 ASV). This scripture does promise God's redemption for ALL men and also a SPECIAL salvation for the believers. Does this mean everyone will get a free pass? And what exactly is this SPECIAL salvation promised for present-day believers? And Jesus says, 'To the one who does my will to the end, I will give authority over the nations' (Rev 2:26 NIV). What are these nations and why are they going to be ruled by the followers of Christ?
