Title: Fear and doubts
Post by: Jock on May 24, 2013, 04:11:33 PM
I was looking at Youtube today at some old man's take on ET. It had a sting to it and I thought, "what if I'm wrong about Hell?"

I have to hold onto my faith that tells me God is a wise loving Parent. That Youtube was there like a rattle snake ready to strike.

Fear.

Intimidation.

Doubt.

But be free of it - Hell is a 404.

Dennis,
I like your 404 reference and because I am sure there are some here who don't understand I am posting the definition of it here.

The 404 or Not Found error message is a HTTP standard response code indicating that the client was able to communicate with the server, but the server could not find what was requested.

The web site hosting server will typically generate a "404 Not Found" web page when a user attempts to follow a broken or dead link; hence the 404 error is one of the most recognizable errors users can find on the web.[1]

A 404 error should not be confused with "server not found" or similar errors, in which a connection to the destination server could not be made at all. A 404 error indicates that the requested resource may be available again in the future; however, the fact does not guarantee the same content.

The only way to overcome fear is to face it, and seek God.  Sounds cliche I suppose but truly we must look into the eyes of the what if's and tell them about the magnificent God we serve.  It's about seeking the face of God, not just gaining another verse of "proof".  It's about revelation through relationship which will affect the way you see the Scriptures.

Breaking free for me was a process.  It sounds like you have begun that process, and it's painful.  But, that journey is well worth it.
