They too busy trying to be as GOD and loving the power of being self exalted ,
but have long forgotten that JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF wore a crown of thorns and walked lowly and humble .
Very dangerous doctrine they teach indeed my friend .
They busy heaping up more than man could ever need , talking about golden crowns
and being gods , yet have long forgotten that JESUS never ate better , never had more money than
EVEN HIS OWN DESICPLES . I say we need to learn the JESUS of that bible well .
THEY holler that we must HOLLER to GOD for what we want and demand it .
YET What kind of faith pleased JESUS . The ones who knew they were not WORTHY
the ones who were humble and KNEW GOD alone was worthy and not themselves .
I tell us all this faith word lil god stuff is coming right from the devil and it feeds the pride of man .
I also hate their teaching of Christ being tortured in Hell.
He was not tortured in hell.
He said it was finished on the cross.
He did go and preach Himself to some of those in Hades-Hell.
There is never any scripture teaching of Christ tormented in hell.
in truth Christ tells one of the thieves on the cross, that day he would be with Christ in Paradise.
Not torture, but Paradise, where all the OT righteous saints when they died would go to be, in Paradise.
Granted that paradise was a compartment of Hades or Hell, Hades being the place of the dead, those who died before the Resurrection, but not in a place of torment.. which was its own separate compartment, refer to the parable of Lazarus and the rich man.
Acts 2:23-32
New King James Version
23 Him, being delivered by the determined purpose and foreknowledge of God, you have taken by lawless hands, have crucified, and put to death; 24 whom God raised up, having loosed the pains of death, because it was not possible that He should be held by it. 25 For David says concerning Him:
‘I foresaw the Lord always before my face,
For He is at my right hand, that I may not be shaken.
26 Therefore my heart rejoiced, and my tongue was glad;
Moreover my flesh also will rest in hope.
27 For You will not leave my soul in Hades,
27 KJV uses HELL here
"27 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell"
Nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption.
28 You have made known to me the ways of life;
You will make me full of joy in Your presence.’
29 “Men
and brethren, let
me speak freely to you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. 30 Therefore, being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his body, according to the flesh, He would raise up the Christ to sit on his throne, 31 he, foreseeing this, spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ, that His soul was not left in Hades, KJV uses hell here, "his soul was not left in hell", nor did His flesh see corruption. 32 This Jesus God has raised up, of which we are all witnesses.
However the part of hell-hades for them was Paradise, as Hell-Hades is compartmented, including Tartarus for the fallen angels, they are bound right now in Tartarus
2 Peter 3
18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit, 19 by whom also He went and preached to the spirits in prison, 20 who formerly were disobedient, when once the Divine longsuffering waited in the days of Noah, while
the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water.
