Dear brother,

    Thank you for sending me the websites.  As much as I know how, I always
want to stay with the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but  the truth.
It is hard for me to believe that this was totally a hoax, considering the
number of major newspapers around the world  that carried the story.  It
also bothers me that I personally clipped an article from a Kansas City
newspaper which carried a small article on the story.
    But I guess what bothers me the most is that not more than two months
ago I received an article taken from a "scientific journal" reporting that
for over fifty years "scientists" have been recording the sounds of erupting
volcanoes in various parts of the world.  These recordings, according to the
article, contain sounds of "human like cries and screams."  Most scientists,
being unbelievers in the first place, just attributed the "human like
sounds" to weird noises made by various gases escaping and burning under
great pressure.  But since I am a believer, I can't help wondering???
    I certainly agree with the cobblestone website.  I don't need any
verification of hell to believe that such a place exists.  However, I won't
go as far as to say that it is impossible to discover physical evidence of
such a place.  Almighty God can give any kind of verification He pleases, at
anytime, to whomever He chooses to give it.
    Yet I am well aware that wicked old Satan has the power to transform
himself into "an angel of light."  I am sure he would be delighted to make
God's people look ridiculous through such a story.  And I certainly have no
sympathy for those who embellish the truth, thinking that it will be
pleasing to the Lord.  God forbid!
    Thank you again, brother.  At this point, considering all the info that
I have received, both pro and con, I just don't know what to think.  But one
thing you can rest assured of, I will not be presenting this story in the
future as anything but questionable material.
    God bless you.

Praise the Lord!  I am glad to hear that you have a news article too.  I know that news articles about the event were carried in major newspapers all over Europe in January of 1990, and also in other papers in various places around the world.  If this event was such a "hoax" as some claim, then the "hoaxers" sure fooled most of the major newspapers in the whole world.  I just don't believe all of those various papers would carry such a story, or even print it without proper investigation.  The only major nation in the world that almost totally ignored the story was the United States of America.  Our liberal, one-world, illuminist news media in this country don't want to carry any story that would verify the truths of God's Word or in any way interfere with their globalist agenda or profits.  God have mercy!  The wicked U.S. has a terrible judgment in store.
    However, I personally found one very small news article on the subject in the Kansas City paper.  It was only a couple of paragraphs and was buried on page 9.  So much for the American papers reporting the truth to the people.
    I might also tell you  that in just the last two months I received a report revealing that cries and screams coming from erupting volcanoes have been recorded for over fifty years by vulcanoligists.  Since most of these "scientists" are not believers, they dismissed the "human like" cries and screams as simply weird sounds being made by various gases escaping from the volcanoes.  Only recently was the knowledge of these "human like cries and screams" recordings made public.  I thought you might like to know about this.
    Thanks for writing.  God bless you.
