“In the beginning, man’s spirit was the dominant force in the world. When he sinned, his mind became dominant. Sin dethroned the spirit and crowned the intellect. But grace is restoring the spirit to its place of dominion. When man comes to realize this, he will live in the realm of the supernatural without effort.” John G. Lake, The Power of the Name

Hell

Does Hell exist?

A popular song from the sixties may describe hell vary well with the phrase "Imagine there is no religion, nothing to live or die for."  With no purpose in life the only things that mater would be pleasure and power.  Both these goals are unachievable, so life becomes a struggle for pleasure and power.  With a focus on pleasure and power, true love does not thrive.

Does God condemn people to eternal hell or do they choose eternal hell themselves.  Are the following choices choosing hell?

•  Addiction to drugs
• Addiction to alcohol
• Addiction to sex
• Revenge
• Hatred
• Materialism
• Killing
• Self importance
• Laziness
• Workaholic
• Hedonism
• Politics
• Forcing your opinions on others
• Forcing your world view on others
• Racism

Can submission to God and love of others overcome the hollowness of pleasure and power?
