Chapter 2 Research The following link is to a web-site that has done the most comprehensive
study I have ever found on the subjects of hell and eternal, everlasting punishment --
http://www.Tentmaker.org. Please pray for discernment and enter the study as
a seeker of truth. 'What the Hell is Hell About' is another site by tentmaker ministries for
further study -- http://www.what-the-hell-is-hell.com/HellSiteIntro.htm Tentmaker ministries is a part of the Universalism Church which
believes in the ultimate reconciliation or universal salvation and although I cannot
agree with their conclusion that God will reconcile every soul He created while still
in its sin (see above verses), I am in agreement with the exhaustive work they have
done to show the scriptures prove that an eternal, everlasting torment in hell is a man
made myth. God's judgments were always for correction and reconciliation and were given in the lifetime of the ones judged. While giving the extensive Jewish law, Moses, the lawgiver, who got
it straight from God, never once mentioned that there was an everlasting torment for those
who broke the law. Why would Moses fail to mention something as important as eternal torment for
breaking the law if indeed that was His intention? The Apostle Paul, the man chosen by God to take
the gospel to the gentile nations doesn't speak of it in the 14 epistles and books he wrote. Again is
this just an oversight on Paul's or Moses' part to leave out such an important part of doctrine? I can't
believe that if this was God's plan He would not have written it in capital letters a hundred times so that
each person would have a clear understanding on which to make his choice.  If you have found Jesus and carry the gift of the Holy Spirit
then your future is secure but I have found that there are many, maybe millions, who are
turned away from Christ because they don't want to believe in a God who would create man
in His own image, allow sin to come into the world and then condemn them to an everlasting
eternity of purposeless torment. This is not the God that I have come to know and love! The
information that I am presenting is meant for those who have been deceived! This false doctrine
of eternal everlasting torment is a lie straight from the father of lies. If you are asking
yourself why God would allow His word to be corrupted and the meaning of some words to be
misinterpreted, I too have asked that question. The answer is that it was for the same reason
He allowed Satan to deceive Adam and Eve back in the garden of Eden. Without sin we would not
need a redeemer and without a redeemer God could not sanctify us. The only way man could have
attained his destiny, to become more than a caretaker of the garden, was to have the free will
to choose whom he would trust and serve. God Himself gave the greatest sacrifice to bring us to
a place where we could become sons and daughters where our destiny to rule the universe with Him
to complete His perfect plan could come to fruition. Without the knowledge of good and evil how
could man achieve his destiny to be made in the image of God?
