"RE Gerlinda (29 March
2012),"BG Ellis: Young Girl Goes To Hell""
I watched the video "Young Girl Goes To Hell" and
I'm quite confused as to why anyone would send this to
anyone. First let me say it clearly and distinctly denies
the atonement, and tells people to depend upon their own works
to get to heaven, which denies the Bible, which says the only
way to get to heaven is through the atoning of Jesus on the
cross, which pays for our sins.
I refer you to Ephesians 2:8-9 Which specifically states not of
works! Of course there is always the standby of: Not by
works of righteousness, but by His mercy has He saved us, and
the oldie but goodie John 3:16, and 3:18. He that
believeth hath everlasting life, but he that believeth not is
condemned already.
If salvation came by works then Jesus wasted His time in coming
and dying on the cross.
But then there is this: Just like most videos of this type
it has zero basis in fact as satan and the demons are not the
rulers in hell, nor are they the torturers, they are
PRISONERS! They are there to be punished, not to punish.
And where exactly did God describe doing things in our own
strength? ... I can tell you! It's where He spoke of
wood, hay, and stubble that will be burned up because those
works are useless to God.
So once again, we have a person who created a video to instill
fear, not faith, and represents what they say as coming from
God, while it is a distortion of what God says. In fact
it's all a lie, none of it is true.
One would think that people would first check out these video
messages by viewing them through the filter of God's Word.
That's what I try to do. Oh, I've been fooled on occasion,
but those occasions are fewer as time goes on.
