Dr. Short emphatically states, “The primary objective is to clarify what the Bible says about Hell and dying, nothing more, nothing less.”

Preface

There are many erroneous, incorrect, and incomplete teachings on the topic of death and Hell as it relates to the Bible. The purpose of this work is to clarify, illuminate, expose, and explain accurate doctrines on the topics of death and Hell. We will explore the possibility of going to Hell after death. Other topics revolving around Hell and death will be examined in this body of work as well. The primary objective is to clarify what the Bible says about Hell and dying, nothing more, nothing less.

I am going to refer to this work as a supposition. Simply put, a supposition is defined as an idea that you THINK is true but may not be able to prove beyond all uncertainty. Thus, this work is technically a supposition. While I will effectively answer many of the questions you might have regarding the subject matter, there will certainly be some questions that cannot conclusively be answered scripturally. To the questions that are answered, I respond with exacting scriptural support, so this is not just my opinion without supporting research.

I want to thank and express my sincere gratitude to Dr. Stephanie Rose, Dr. Valter Harris, and Minister Lisa J. O’Bryant who contributed to this body of work. It would not have been possible without them.

Chapter 1

God’s Intention for Man and the Rebellion

Genesis 1:31 tells us that when God made the world, He looked upon it and declared that it was very good. It was good because it reflected the intention of its Maker. The psalmist excitedly writes,

The Heavens declare the glory of the God, the skies proclaim the work of His hands. (Psalms 19:1 NIV)

As westerners, we treat the creation as rather inert and lifeless. But the Hebrew mind is far more optimistic and much more poetic.
