Here we have a quote from Billy Graham in which he lies about hell
He says the only thing I could say for sure is that hell means separation from God
We are separated from his light from his fellowship. That is going to be hell when it comes to a literal fire
I don't preach it because I'm not sure about it when the scripture uses fire concerning hell
That is possibly an illustration of how terrible it's going to be not fire, but something worse
A thirst for God that cannot be quenched. So here Billy Graham lies about hell
Saying that it's not a flaming fire
Hell has nothing to do with fire, but it's just separation from God
Well, what does the Bible say is hell separation from God?
Take a look at Revelation chapter 14 starting in verse 10 the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God
Which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation
And he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in
the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of
The Lamb the Bible is very clear in this verse that those in hell are being tormented in the presence of
Jesus Christ
How else could this verse be true? The Bible teaches that God is omnipresent
God is everywhere
John chapter 3 says and no man had to send it up to heaven
But he that came down from heaven even the Son of Man, which is in heaven here
Jesus is claiming to be on earth talking to Nicodemus and
In heaven at the same time God is everywhere. God is omnipresent
Psalm 139 verse 8 if I ascend up into heaven thou art there if I make my bed in hell
Behold thou art there
Again, God is everywhere. Hell is not separation from God
So if hell is not separation from God, what is hell?
second Thessalonians says
Inflaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ
Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of?
His power the everlasting destruction of hell comes from the presence of God
The flaming fire comes from the glory of his power
Mark chapter 9 starting at verse 43 says and if thy hand offending cut it off
It is better for thee to enter into life maimed than having two hands to go into hell into the fire that
Never shall be quenched where their worm dieth not and the fire is not quenched
And if thy foot offend thee cut it off
It is better for thee to enter halt into life than having two feet to be cast into hell
Into the fire that never shall be quenched
Where their worm dieth not and the fire is not quenched and if thine eye offend thee pluck it out
It is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye
Than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire where their worm dieth not and the fire is not
Quenched so obviously hell is a flaming fire
You are in Luke chapter 16 starting verse 20 and there was a certain beggar named Lazarus
Which was laid at his gate full of sores and desiring to be fed with crumbs which fell from the rich man's table
Moreover the dogs came and licked his sores and it came to pass that the beggar died
And was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom the rich man also died and was buried and in hell
He lifted up his eyes
Being in torments and seeing Abraham afar off and Lazarus in his bosom
And he cried and said father Abraham have mercy on me and sin Lazarus
That he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue for I am tormented in this flame
So the rich man dies goes to hell and he is being tormented in flames
So Billy Graham is lying when he says that hell is not a literal fire
He's lying when he says that hell is separation from God
He along with many other false prophets are teaching that hell is separation from God
To tone down the reality of how horrible hell really is
