Why Hell is so Horrible (Must see video) Bill Wiese - All the good we enjoy in this life comes from God. Bill Wiese says that the reason hell is so horrible is because God has removed all of His goodness from hell. If a person says, "I don't want anything to do with God," then there is a place prepared that has nothing to do with Him. What would it look like to never experience anything good again? In this video, Bill shares what God revealed to him.

    Revelation 21:6-8 - And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcomes shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.  

     Hell - "everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels" (Matthew 25:41, Revelation 19:20, 20:10), 

   2 Peter 2:4-9 -  For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly; And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;) The Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:

   Matthew 13:41-43 - The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who has ears to hear, let him hear.  (See also Matthew 13:47-50) 

What Is Spiritual Warfare?: An Interview with Sam Storms - The Bible frequently speaks of Satan and demons. Yet many Christians today are unaware of the open battle between the kingdom of God and the kingdom of Satan. What is the biblical teaching on spiritual warfare? How can we extinguish the “flaming darts” (Eph. 6:16) of the “cosmic powers” and “spiritual forces of evil” (Eph. 6:12) that bombard us?
   The Bible addresses these issues far more frequently than many believe. The title “Satan” (the adversary) is used some 52 times in the Bible, most in reference to the enemy of our souls. “Devil” is used 35 times, and there are, of course, numerous other names and titles predicated of Satan: the god of this age, the evil one, the prince or ruler of demons, the destroyer, the tempter, the deceiver, the old serpent, the great dragon, the ruler or prince of this world, just to mention a few. Jesus himself referred to “the devil and his angels” (Matthew 25:41).
   Demons are mentioned numerous times, either as evil or unclean spirits, or with the distinctly Pauline terminology of principalities or rulers, authorities, powers, dominions, thrones, and world rulers. It’s important we know who our enemy is because Paul tells us that our fundamental battle is not with human beings (“flesh and blood”) but with Satan and the demonic forces that do his bidding (Ephesians 6:10-17).
   They [people] scoff for several reasons, such as: the caricatures of Satan in modern culture (the result being that only uneducated simpletons and religious fanatics would believe in a devil), insulated lifestyles of the western world in which few believe they’re under demonic attack, a materialistic worldview that minimizes, if not denies, the reality of the spiritual realm, and widespread ignorance of what the Bible says.
   I take the existence and activity of Satan and his demons quite seriously because Jesus did (Matthew 4, 12, 25, etc.). I also take Paul seriously in such texts as 2 Corinthians 2:11; Ephesians 1:21; 3:10; 6:10ff.; Col. 2:13-15; 1Thess. 2:18; 2 Thess. 2:9-10; as well as what we see from Peter (1 Peter 5:8; cf. James 4:7) and especially John who reminds us that “the whole world lies in the power of the evil one” (1 John 5:18).
   Satan is a fallen, rebellious angelic being. When he fell and how are not described explicitly in Scripture (there is considerable doubt as to whether Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28 are talking about Satan and his fall). He is a liar, a murderer, a deceiver, a tempter, and has as his primary goal resistance to and the thwarting of God’s primary goal (namely, the spread of the glory of God in all the earth), a goal he will never achieve.
   He’s not the opposite and equal of God, who alone is all powerful and all knowing, but is, perhaps, the opposite and equal of Michael, the Archangel. That being said, Michael prevails over Satan, by virtue of the redemptive work and resurrection of Jesus (Revelation 12:7-12). He’s dedicated to promulgating evil because he’s the essence of evil. He hates God and works tirelessly to thwart God’s work in the earth, an effort that will ultimately fail and result in his being cast eternally into the lake of fire (Revelation 20:10).
   Territorial spirits are demons who were assigned by Satan to influence specific national, geo-political entities on earth. We find explicit evidence for this in Daniel 10.
   Spiritual warfare exists on several levels. First of all, it’s the rebellion and opposition of Satan and his demons to God. Second, it’s the conflict that’s ongoing between Satan and his demons and the holy angels who do God’s bidding. Third, it’s the conflict between Satan and his demons and Christians individually or the church corporately. It’s this third dimension of spiritual warfare that’s most relevant to believers, as Paul makes clear in Ephesians 6:10-17.
   The aim of the enemy is to sow seeds of doubt in the minds of believers concerning God’s goodness and faithfulness. He works to bring disunity to local churches (2 Cor. 2:11), blinds the minds of the unbelieving lest they should believe the gospel (2 Cor. 4:4-6), and seeks to deceive Christians into believing that sin and idolatry can do for their souls what God either cannot or will not do.
   We know we’re not automatically immune because of the multiple warnings in Scripture to be on our guard, such as John 17:15 - 2 Cor. 2:11 - 11:13-15 - Eph. 6:10-17 - James 4:7 - 1 Peter 5:8 - 1 John 4:1-4 and 5:18. These warning would not be relevant if Christians were insulated against attack and demonic deception. We should not respond with fear, for as John tells us, “he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world” (1 John 4:4). But neither should we respond with arrogance and presumption. We must avail ourselves of the armor of God and be on the alert to Satan’s schemes.
   Warfare prayer is prayer specifically directed to God for extraordinary power, insight, wisdom, and strength to resist Satan’s schemes. It’s also that expression of prayer called for when dealing with someone who is demonized and in need of deliverance. This is clearly what Jesus had in mind in Mark 9:25-29 (esp. v. 29).
   Favorite Bible passages: Two texts compete in my heart (in a good way!) for being my favorites: Psalm 16:11 and Zephaniah 3:17. The former is precious to me because it gives me the reason why pursuing God rather than the world, the flesh, and the devil, is the wisest approach to life, an approach that brings the greatest degree of spiritual joy and satisfaction. The latter is precious to me because it awakens me to the truth of God’s delight in me as his child, a delight so intense that God quite literally sings over me! 

Why What You Know About Satan Might Be Mostly Myth - By KYLE WINKLER - Make me a profile of Satan. What does he look like? What does he do? From where does he do it? The classic image, the one you likely envisio, is a red guy with horns and a pitchfork, orchestrating all the evil in the world from his command center in hell. I'm not sure where it came from, but this pervasive image of Satan is nothing more than myth. The devil is not red with horns and pitchfork. And while he does orchestrate evil, he doesn't do it from hell.
   Where in the World is Satan? Surprising to most people, the Bible doesn't say Satan's home is in hell or that he's ever been there at all. Quite the opposite, actually. Jesus revealed that hell is the place prepared to destroy Satan, not his home (Matt. 25:41). The Bible also claims the devil will not see hell until after his final rebellion at the end of time when he's thrown into the lake of fire (Rev. 20:7,10).
   This obviously begs the question: If the devil isn't in hell, where is he, and what is he doing? Well, accordingly to Scripture, he's in one of two places doing one of two things: on earth or in heaven, opposing or accusing. It's true: Peter revealed that as an adversary, Satan prowls like a lion, seeking someone to devour (1 Pet. 5:8). And John divulged that the devil continues to go between heaven and earth to bring accusations about you and me before the Lord (Rev. 12:10).
   Why Does This Matter? As I detail in my book, Silence Satan, this all matters so you are aware of the source of your struggles and how to handle them. Rather than blame these on the weather or a chemical in your brain, many of the temptations and obstacles you face are the result of a devil trying to get you to slip up or trip up in order to report to God about how you messed up.
   But here's great news: If you're a Christian, when the devil attempts to report your mistakes to God, it falls on deaf ears. An incredible word of victory that John proclaimed just after he revealed Satan's whereabouts is that "They [Christians] overcame him [the accuser] by the blood of the Lamb" (Rev. 12:11a). Yes, because you're covered by the pure, spotless DNA of Jesus, God sends Satan away, giving no ear to his accusations. But too often, when the devil returns to earth, we become his audience. Accordingly, many of the mind games and much of the guilt and shame you experience are the result of giving ear to the things God doesn't.
   So next time you hear the voice that nags "Look what you've done" or "You're too much of this" or "You're not enough of that" silence it with the truth: "Shut up, devil! You are defeated by the blood of Jesus!"

The Satanic Bible's "Golden Rule" - By Matt Barber - In his fantastic new book, "Gay Awareness: Discovering the Heart of the Father and the Mind of Christ On Sexuality," author and minister Landon Schott devotes an entire chapter to this "gay"-affirming "Bible." ..."[O]ut of the 31,102 verses in the Bible," he writes, "not one supports a homosexual lifestyle in any way, not one. If you are still looking for a scripture that supports homosexuality you need to close your Holy Bible and open The Satanic Bible!"
   ..."Satan's existence is consumed with a mission," continues Schott, "to defy and mock God, to defy His order of creation, and to mock His governing orders." The Church of Satan reverses the order of the Lord's Prayer, saying it backwards as they begin their services, to defy God. God says love; the Church of Satan says hate. God says heterosexual relationships; the Church of Satan says homosexual relationships. God says monogamous marriage between a man and woman; the Church of Satan says polygamous and sexually open relationships. God gave the Ten Commandments; the Church of Satan established their version, called the Nine Tenets, shown below:"
   1. Satan represents indulgence instead of abstinence!
   2.  Satan represents vital existence instead of spiritual pipe dreams!
   3. Satan represents undefiled wisdom instead of hypocritical self-deceit!
   4. Satan represents kindness to those who deserve it instead of love wasted!
   5. Satan represents vengeance instead of turning the other cheek!
   6. Satan represents man as just another animal, sometimes better, more often worse than those that walk on all-fours, who, because of his "divine spiritual and intellectual development," has become the most vicious animal of all!
   7. Satan represents all of the so-called sins, as they all lead to physical, mental, or emotional gratification!
   8. Satan has been the best friend the Church has ever had, as He has kept it in business all these years!
   9. When walking in open territory, bother no one. If someone bothers you, ask him to stop. If he does not stop, destroy him.
   Consider The Satanic Bible's following sex-centric passages. They read like the mission statements of the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) or GLSEN:
Each person must decide for himself what form of sexual activity best suits his individual needs. Satanism ENCOURAGES any form of sexual expression you may desire so long as it hurts no one else. If all parties involved are mature adults who willingly take full responsibility for their actions and voluntarily engages in a given form of sexual expression, even if it is generally considered taboo, then there is no reason for them to repress their sexual inclinations, you have no cause to suppress your sexual preferences.
   It is important to point out here that spiritual love and sexual love can, but do not necessarily, go hand in hand. The Satanist realizes that if he is to be a sexual connoisseur (and free from sexual guilt) he cannot be stifled by the so-called sexual revolutionist any more than he can by the prudery of his guilt-ridden society.
   "That last verse from The Satanic Bible," observes Schott, "reminds me of a powerful proverb on the adulterous woman. Proverbs 30:20 says, "This is the way of an adulterous woman: She eats and wipes her mouth and says, "I've done nothing wrong." Again and again The Satanic Bible tells its readers that there is nothing wrong with giving in to your natural sexual desires. The Bible tells us to resist the sexual desires of the flesh, he concludes.
