RZehr “Split Hell Wide Open” I heard the preacher at a Baptist church last week, and the preacher at an Apostolic church both use this phrase. While I’m familiar with the phrase, I don’t recall ever hearing it at a Mennonite church. How does going to Hell, presumably with lots of really bad unrepentant or flagrant sins, “split” Hell “wide open”? 0 x Pelerin Re: “Split Hell Wide Open” Post by Pelerin » Sun May 28, 2023 11:54 am What context was it used in? I would assume it’s a reference to “the gates of hell shall not prevail against it,” but maybe he was saying something different. 0 x RZehr Re: “Split Hell Wide Open” Post by RZehr » Sun May 28, 2023 12:31 pm Both were used in the same way. A person being flagrantly wicked, knowingly or unknowingly, and being hell bound. Similar to this: Will you split Hell wide open after you die? I know this isn’t a subtle message tonight, but I want you to really think about where you will spend eternity. I want you to think about where your spirit will go the second after you die. Will you go to Heaven? Or will you split Hell wide open? There’s nothing more important than your eternal destination. It will either be Heaven or Hell. Your unbelief in God will not stop you from going to Hell. Your unbelief in Hell will not stop you from going there. What do you have to do to go to Hell after you die? Absolutely nothing! You don’t have to change one thing. You don’t have to work at it all. Just continue down the broad road to destruction that you are walking on and you will go to Hell after you die. You will split Hell wide open someday.We are all born with a sinful nature. We are all rebellious against the great God of Heaven and earth. We have all gone astray. None of us are righteous, no not a single one of us. We are dirty rotten sinners. If you die in your sins, if you die as a wretched sinner, you will split Hell wide open after you die. Is this you tonight? Are you still lord of your

And drank a little. If those things condemn a person to hell, he was certainly condemned. But nowhere in the Bible does it say that a person who does those things is hellbound. Certainly, my father’s life was shortened by smoking cigarettes. He would have been better off without that habit, and he would have been better off going to church, but still, when we talk of eternal destiny, the Bible does not mention those things as necessary conditions, but some other things are mentioned. 0 x Neto Re: “Split Hell Wide Open” Post by Neto » Sun May 28, 2023 1:48 pm RZehr wrote: ↑Sun May 28, 2023 11:00 amI heard the preacher at a Baptist church last week, and the preacher at an Apostolic church both use this phrase.

How does going to Hell, presumably with lots of really bad unrepentant or flagrant sins, “split” Hell “wide open”?My first thought that it would be something the exact opposite, in the most extreme sense - that the speaker was referring to what happened when Christ defeated death and hell. (Not to suggest that Jesus removed people from hell who were already there, but that the potential of avoiding it as one's eternal destination was fully provided for in his own death and resurrection, both for those who came after him, as well as for those who looked forward to his life and death.) 0 x Sudsy Re: “Split Hell Wide Open” Post by Sudsy » Mon May 29, 2023 9:19 am I don't know just what is being inferred in this statement but in doing some searches on this phrase I ran into a concept of hell that I had not heard before. My father was a street preaching, hell fire, preacher and I don't recall him ever using this phrase or believing this.The concept I was unfamiliar with is this statement in this link - was created for spirit-being devils. Pagans are just mortals. So only bad born-again saints with spirit bodies have the ability to live forever in hell. Scripture is used to show those in hell are God’s people with spirit life who’ve gone bad, such as Lucifer and Judas – and the Bible never says the unregenerate go to hell. Not to side-track but has anyone else ever heard

Of this take on hell that only 'back slidden' Christians will go to hell not the never saved people ? 0 x MaxPC Re: “Split Hell Wide Open” Post by MaxPC » Mon May 29, 2023 10:00 am Neto wrote: ↑Sun May 28, 2023 1:48 pmMy first thought that it would be something the exact opposite, in the most extreme sense - that the speaker was referring to what happened when Christ defeated death and hell.

How does going to Hell, presumably with lots of really bad unrepentant or flagrant sins, “split” Hell “wide open”?I've never heard this in the sense of a condemned person "splitting hell wide open." However, in the Orthodox Church, the Paschal Homily of St. John Chrysostom offers near parallels. The Orthodox Church reads this as the homily for the Paschal service.St_John_Chrysostom wrote:Let no one fear death, for the Savior’s death has set us free. He that was held prisoner of it has annihilated it. By descending into Hell, He made Hell captive. He embittered it when it tasted of His flesh. And Isaiah, foretelling this, did cry: Hell, said he, was embittered, when it encountered Thee in the lower regions. It was embittered, for it was abolished. It was embittered, for it was mocked. It was embittered, for it was slain. It was embittered, for it was overthrown. It was embittered, for it was fettered in chains. It took a body, and met God face to face. It took earth, and encountered Heaven. It took that which was seen, and

Fell upon the unseen.Christ is leading those held captive in Hell free by busting the gates of Hell - splitting it wide open - and leaving it powerless.Different ideas of "Hell" might lead to different interpretations of the phrase given. Hell, in the case of the above quotation and interpretation, is the dominion of Hades/Death. I think most street preachers use Hell to mean the lake of fire as described in Revelation. 0 x "I publicly confess that this teaching clearly reveals truths that will afford us the blessings of life and I submit that the temples and altars that we have dedicated to no advantage be immediately desecrated and burned."

I wonder if it’s a regional linguistic thing rather than a theological thing. Have you heard the phrase in any other context? Something like, “I saw they were having a sale and I busted the store wide open,” meaning, “I went rushing straight in.” 0 x Bootstrap Re: “Split Hell Wide Open” Post by Bootstrap » Tue May 30, 2023 6:18 am I wonder if he was trying out vivid, emotional phrases, happened on this, and didn't think too much about the precise meaning?If two pastors in the same town both used it, maybe one got it from the other? 0 x MaxPC Re: “Split Hell Wide Open” Post by MaxPC » Tue May 30, 2023 7:43 am Pelerin wrote: ↑Mon May 29, 2023 9:03 pmThat’s strange then.

He wanted me to experience one of these events. It was a metaphor for the concept that Christ freed us from the prison of sin. 0 x

It, a burning smoke would rise out from all around the album. A crackle and a cloud forming an image of a skeletal hand forming what looks like devil’s horns… A Forgotten Gem - 90% Prev Next First Last Any metal fan who ever felt that Sabbath was no longer Sabbath without Ozzy definitely missed out on some classic, epic heavy metal when the boys from Birmingham teamed up with Ronnie James Dio. The fusion of the two has always released good quality material, period. Bottom line.It was an absolutely perfect line-up, but with one fatal flaw: both Iommi and Dio are strong, creative personalities, and you can only have one creative force in a group, not two very young egos fighting for control. A creative split was inevitable, and it occurred the year following this release, a split that would last nine years until the release of another great disc, “Dehumanizer”, and of course their current incarnation, Heaven and Hell. C’mon, these guys were made for each other, like Siegfried & Roy, but without the cats and cockplay. “Mob Rules” is a shining example of why Sabbath and Dio are a perfect fit. Although it’s somewhat overshadowed by its predecessor, “Heaven and Hell”, which has better continuity overall, this release still has some of the best, most time tested metal there is. It even offers one of Sabbath’s finest moments, a track called “Sign of the Southern Cross”, true epic metal for the ages. A classic. Beautifully written, structured and recorded, with a main riff so heavy it will haunt your dreams. The opening track on the disc, “Turn Up the Night”, is a fast-paced, chugging freight train similar to “Neon Knights”, although not as good. This leads you to think the whole thing will be a repeat of
