 :happy3: Hi fellow travelers :thumbsup:  I happened across tentmaker website via a link from freebelievers.   Two years ago I was introduced to a teaching from the Adventist church concerning the topic of hell.  It was the first time I had a leap of hope in my heart that maybe we had been fed a bill of goods by the church on this topic.  However, this denomination does teach that there is a hell for the wicked, it just doesn't burn forever...once the judgment is done it is done.  Then I read The Shack which led me to The Misunderstood God which somehow led me here!  I don't know what to think about some of the teaching, and I sure have a lot of questions, but am remaining open to the Holy Spirit to teach me and lead me into the truth. In the meantime I would appreciate a prayer or two for my husband.  When I told him that I no longer believed in hell as we have been taught, he got very angry with me.  He said that he didn't know why God would have Christ die in such a way as He did, if it were no big deal in the end.   Glad to be here.

Hello.  Glad you're here.  Enjoy, be blessed.
The oldest known manuscripts agree with each other 99% of the time.  The scriptures, accurately translated, Spirit revealed - reliable.   Looking unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith.  Heb. 12:2

Welcome and good cheers with your journey, one thing to remember, it is OK if you do not agree with everything you read here,  the search for truth is more important.
