This topic is copied from one on Main. I found it interesting and perhaps you may also. It was posted by one of our new memmbers on OPP... so, take a second and give him a warm welcome.
"I became a Christian a little over 40 years ago. For approximately 38 years as a Christian, I use to have a completely different belief and understanding regarding the subject of Hell, the Lake of Fire and eternal torment. However, after my many years of Biblical study, it was as if the Lord turned on a switch to my Spiritual understanding to see much more clearly many Biblical truths in regards to this subject. For all those years, I thought that I had a good understanding, but I began to realize that I was completely wrong.
A couple of years ago, I wrote an article "What is the "GOOD NEWS" of the Gospel of Christ?" (Re-examining the widely held belief of "eternal torment" in "Hellfire"). It is the longest article that I have every written. By the way, writing is not one of my favorite things to do. I have attached the file which contains this article to this post."
