Question

If not, is the Lake of Fire, and hell, Eternal?

Answer

No, sir. No, sir. Anything that was created is not Eternal. No. Anything that’s created…That’s the reason there cannot be an Eternal hell.

Second Peter 2:4, “For if God has…For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down into hell,” then why did Christ preach to the spirits in prison, in First Peter 3:19?

Question

Now. Does man at death go to Heaven or—or to hell immediately, or do they wait for the judgment?

Answer

That’s a very good question. And it does…would due a lot of good consideration, because every man is interested, what is he going to be after this life is over? Every man is interested.

Question

Does a person go to hell for being a sinner?

Answer

Now, you don’t go to hell because you’re a sinner; you go to hell because you refused to accept the way away from hell. There’s a bypass; that’s Christ. There’s a bypass from your sickness, quick death, premature grave; that’s through Christ. But now, you’re—you’re—you sinned in the beginning, and C...
