Documentary on Hell Will 'Push Your Buttons'

[Abiding in His Word]

Writer/director Kevin Miller says Hellbound, due in theaters this fall, is "my attempt to get to the bottom of the debate we're having about hell. . . . And of all the doctrines we could be fighting about, why does hell seem to be at the top of the list?" Miller says he hopes the film will "provoke informed discussion," and suggests that the film will be "somewhat controversial, because no matter what your beliefs on hell, this is gonna push your buttons."

Miller says his team interviewed "all sorts of people who have a dog in this fight, from theologians to pastors to death metal musicians to exorcists to people who claim to have seen hell first-hand."

Wow Abiding. I guess I have a few thoughts after viewing the movie trailer:

"People can't imaging hell" A quote from the beginning of the film trailer.

"If we remove God's wrath, Christianity begins to not make sense." Another quote from the trailer. The thought of a judge not punishing the lawbreaker is unjust.

I don't think anyone can comprehend a place of eternal torment where the flame is never quenched and the worm does not die. Even eternity. That in itself is beyond us. But we read in Scripture that such a place exists.

Thank you Jesus for the cross you bore and for defeating death.

When it's all said and done I trust Jesus with my soul as He holds the keys of hell and death.

I wish everyone would trust in Jesus for salvation.

I don't know... the trailer makes this look like they will really push people to question the idea of a just God sending people to hell for eternity.

Miller says his team interviewed "...people who claim to have seen hell first-hand."

Well we know that's not possible according to Luke chapter 16

"all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed,
so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot,
nor can those from there pass to us.’

‘If they do not hear Moses and the prophets,
neither will they be persuaded though one rise from the dead.’
- Yeshua

In the event that there are those who are 'destined' for heaven or hell
would it seem unkind to put it in the face of those who are destined for hell?
Like in the midst of the great tribulation when there will be those who
take the mark of the beast and according to scripture are on their way to hell.
Would it be unkind to point out that fact to them when the time has come?
(not to mention dangerous) Is it possible that those who are perishing
would still have regrets and possibly compassion on those
who will refuse to accept the mark of the beast?
How sad it is to think about so many who will
perish into the flames of the lake of fire.
Not that we shouldn't warn others about
the reality of hell, we should,
for the sake of saving some.
