Re-Thinking Hell

Details
Written by Tim Harris
Re-Thinking Hell Title Slide

What does the Bible really say about hell? When studying hell, there is as much, if not more, to un-teach as there is to teach. But what more important topic is there, as this directly relates to each of our future.

In this video, I answer the following questions:

  1. What is hell?
  2. What is the day of the Lord?
  3. What happens on the day of the Lord?
  4. When is the day of the Lord?
  5. Is hell continuous eternal punishment or annihilation?
  6. What happens to wicked people now when they die?

This video is the continuation of my series, Re-Thinking Christianity, which you can watch in order on YouTube here.

Check out Re-Thinking Hell:

  • GOD's Attributes
  • Jesus
  • Suffering
  • Sin
  • Reward
  • Death
  • Revenge
  • Anger
  • Judgment

What's Going On? (Making Sense of Our World's Insanity)

Details
Written by Tim Harris
chess board and pieces

This post is unlike what I usually write here. It is generally my intent to publish content here that is fact, based upon verifiable Scripture, and to minimize opinion and speculation.

To that end, I typically steer clear of politics and social discussions unless they are clearly covered in Scripture.

But today, I have something to say that does dip into politics and social issues. Today, I'm going to share my opinion, based on the facts that I am aware of, as I understand them.

Some people won't like this. And I'm okay with that. If you have a different opinion, on this topic, I don't care. I feel these things need to be said. And there's nothing you can say that would change my mind. I've done my own research.

I want to share my perspective on what is happening in the world today, what I think GOD is doing, and how Christians should respond.

In this post, I provide a lot of evidence, but I wouldn't get this post published this year if I tried to document everything. You'll need to do some research yourself, if you haven't already. As someone I respect often says, "Simple truths are simple truths. Always have been. Always will be. Think for yourself. Do your research. Connect the dots."

Nothing Makes Sense

We've been living out an episode of The Twilight Zone since early 2020. Since the first discussions of the coronavirus in early 2020, life has not been the same.

And while the symptoms of the world's strange behavior might have been most noticeable in the spring of 2020, I think this goes back a long time before then.

Shocking Biblical Truths (That You Won't Hear from Your Pastor)

Details
Written by Tim Harris

Can I tell you a secret?

There are lots of truths in the Bible that are overlooked or misunderstood. While I don't pretend to have all the answers, by any means, I have learned enough to realize that there is a gigantic need to share and teach these truths.

In fact, I am convinced that if a person understands these things, they can:

  1. significantly deepen their relationship with GOD,
  2. more clearly and thoroughly understand the message of the Bible, and
  3. spot the many instances where a misunderstanding of these truths has led—and continues to lead—to doctrinal errors, unnecessary confusion, and even division among believers.

The Story of the Bible [That You've Never Heard Before]

Details
Written by Tim Harris

Can I tell you a story? A story so powerful that, if you pay attention, it will change your life?

It's the story of the Bible. Only, this story is probably different than anything you've ever heard.

Before I tell you this story, I first need to answer a huge question, perhaps the very thing you may be asking yourself right now:

How could you possibly tell the story of the Bible in a way that I've never heard before?

Excellent question! Here's how...

  • Baptism
  • Gospel
  • Authority
  • Church
  • Jesus
  • Christian Life
  • Idolatry
  • Holiness
  • Death
  • Prophecy
  • Judgment
  • Rebirth / Resurrection
  • Angels
  • Hell
  • Heaven

The Origin of Christmas (How Christmas Became Popular)

Details
Written by Tim Harris

How, exactly, did Christmas begin?

A quick Internet search revealed 163 million hits about the origin of Christmas.

While I admittedly didn't take the time to look through 163 million links just now, I have yet to run across an article that neatly connects the dots of history from the apostolic age to the appearance of Christmas.

So I decided to write that article.

(Hopefully people will be able to find it amidst the 163 million other pages. Amen? ;-)  )

Jewish Feasts and the First Christians

The Law of Moses included an annual calendar of feasts that the children of Israel were required to keep.

The most important were:

  1. Passover (Feast of Unleavened Bread),
  2. Pentecost (Feast of Weeks) and
  3. Feast of Tabernacles (Feast of Booths/Ingathering).

(See Ex. 23:14-17 for context.)

These annual feasts were shadows of Jesus—symbolic pointers to the "Real Thing."

Paul wrote the following to the Colossian Christians:

16 Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. 17 These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ.
(Col. 2:16-17 NIV)

After Jesus’ ascension to heaven, three massive transitions occurred during the first century:

  • Tradition
  • Jesus
  • Early Christian Writings
  • Holidays
  • Worship
