Laea Teaching 3: God Hem Raf
BILIV BILONG PIPOL
“Taem pipol wea duim bigfala sin olketa dae, soul bilong olketa go long hell. Long there nao olketa safa long ‘fire wea no savve finis.’” (Catechism of the Catholic Church) Samfala nara bigman bilong religion sei hell savve minim man hem stap farawe from God.
TRU SAMTING WEA BIBLE TALEM
Bible hem sei: “Soul wea hem sin bae dae.” (Ezekiel 18:4) Olketa wea dae finis “nating savve long eni samting.” (Ecclesiastes 9:5) Sapos soul hem dae and hem no savve long eni samting, hao nao bae hem safa long “fire wea no savve finis” or stap farawe from God?
Long Bible, Hebrew word and Greek word wea olketa transleitim “hell” hem savve minim grev bilong olketa man tu. Olsem example, taem Job safa long sik wea kasem hem, hem prea olsem: “Mi laekem tumas for iu haedem mi long grev [long Douay-Rheims Version hem sei “long hell”].” (Job 14:13, Holy Bible—Easy-to-Read Version) Job laek for rest long grev, no long wanfala ples wea bae hem safa or wea hem stap farawe from God.
WHY HEM IMPORTANT
Sapos iumi tingse God hem raf, datwan savve mekem iumi les long hem. Rocío, wanfala woman wea stap long Mexico, hem sei: “Mi lanem datfala teaching abaotem hellfire taem mi smol. Mi fraet tumas long God, bikos mi tingse hem God wea savve kros and wea raf tumas.”
Taem Rocío lanem wanem Bible teachim abaotem olketa wea dae finis and olketa judgment bilong God, datwan helpem hem for garem stretfala tingting abaotem God. Hem sei: “Hem olsem mi free nao. Mi no fraet and no wari moa. Mi start for luksavve God laekem iumi for kasem gud samting and hem lovem iumi, and mi start for lovem hem tu. Hem olsem wanfala dadi wea holem hand bilong pikinini bilong hem and laekem olketa for kasem gud samting.”—Isaiah 41:13.
Staka pipol lotu gud bikos olketa fraetem hellfire, bat God no laekem iumi for worshipim hem from iumi fraet long hem. Jesus hem sei: “Iu mas lovem God bilong iu Jehovah.” (Mark 12:29, 30) And tu, taem iumi luksavve God hem evritaem duim samting wea stret, iumi savve trustim olketa judgment bilong hem long future. Iumi savve garem sem tingting olsem fren bilong Job, Elihu, wea sei: “Hard tumas for tru God duim rabis samting, and for Olmaeti duim samting wea no stret.”—Job 34:10.
