About this listen
As indicated by the title, this book presents a very critical look at the doctrine of Hell, which is rarely criticized within Christendom today. The English word "hell" comes from the Anglo-Saxon "helan", which means "to cover, conceal, or hide". In the scriptures, there is no mention of "eternal torment" in the Old Testament, and in the Greek scriptures (the NT), there are three words translated to "hell": Gehenna, Hades, and Tartarus, none of which have anything to do with eternal torment. My objective is to guide you into the knowledge that the doctrine of hell is unbiblical and extremely harmful to those who hold to it.

Story
If prayer changed things, we'd all be in trouble. Imagine eight billion people storming heaven simultaneously. Imagine God throwing His papers all around and wondering what to do, who to answer. Imagine God finally plugging His ears and grinding His pearly white teeth in holy exasperation. This is a worse case scenario than if God just ignored us all and continues with His plan, which He came up with quite a long time ago when everything was calm and peaceful and humanity had not been invented.

Story
Human belief is a gift of God that acquaints people with something God already did. People do have faith, and they do have wills, but the believing and the willing originated outside themselves. Belief is a gift that follows salvation; it does not precede it. So no one should think: I did it! The startling result? We are not saved because we believe; we believe because we are saved.

Story
We are clay pots by design, not because we have gone afoul of God's intention for us. Wouldn't some of us love to shed our earthenware now and still walk among mortals? Our sins keep us from a perfect walk, and we mourn this. We do not yet understand, of course, that an imperfect walk is the main idea of this life. God puts the treasure of his spirit in earthen vessels now to keep the vessels from situating themselves upon high places. Humility is a blessed thing. Mistakes remind us of our clayhood and drive us toward Christ.

Extremely Comforting
It never made sense to me that a God of love and mercy could possibly consign everyone who fails to “accept” Jesus to eternal torment. Like many believers, I have unsaved loved ones, and I now know they will experience God’s grace either in this life or after the grave. Zender ably refutes the awful doctrine of hell. The narrator was clear and easy to listen to. It was liberating.

Incredible expose' on demonic doctrine of "hell"
Christendom's demonic doctrine of a place of eternal torment for billions of people has caused more trauma, more psychological damage, and more distortion of our loving Father's plan for the ages than the worst horror movie you could ever imagine. Martin Zender exposes the lie that churches, pastors, bible study leaders, christian celebrities, and others have taught for too long to scare people into their religious systems and into dependency on others to teach them what it true instead of searching these things out for themselves. If you have any doubts concerning "hell" for yourself or your loved ones, get this audio book! Shout out to John Heth for his exceptional, clear narration as well.

if I had this in my mind 50 years ago...
The years I spent believing pastors instead of believing Scriptures. I can't get those years back but I hope you can skip the pain and fear of trusting people who must tow the denominational line instead of teaching what is written. I love trusting God like I trust a pilot. I can't fly the plane but o dont worry about anybody while they are in the cockpit.
