I would just like to thank you for that honest article that you wrote about TBN, and prosperity teachers.
My husband is a [name of church removed - ed.] minister, and has
preached against this doctrine for years. You did a wonderful job of exposing their unbiblical
teachings.
Thanks again,

Hi,
Great website! I read the article on the Antichrist. Near the end of it you mention that there is
no annihilation of the wicked. I have attempted to find each of the Greek words that are translated
"hell." I found 4 (with one that translates from a similar word. I don't understand the Greek text and
how they refer to present or future times. Do any of the words translated "hell" refer to a present time
"hell"? the 4 I have looked up all seem to refer to a future burning ( I am guessing the fire of Rev 20
that comes down from God on the wicked).
The only conclusion I have so far is that I don't see an eternal burning. I find the words "forever and
ever" but I have found from commentaries in the Hebrew language that this can mean a person's life
time, as in Ex 21:6 or a shorter period of time as in Jonah 2:6.
And if there is a burning going on now and has been since the fall of the human race into sin, I am not
sure how this speaks to the fairness of god. I mean, Cain killed his brother thousands of year ago.
If a criminal kills a cashier at a 7-11 store today and the criminal gets killed by the police in a shootout
wouldn't he go to hell?
I guess my question is about the fairness of God at this point. Why would Cain have to suffer thousands
of years for the same crime as the criminal who dies today for killing a human? Is it fair of God to
punish
Cain for a longer period of time simply because he was born sooner than the criminal?
thank you,

ON DOCTRINE NOTE:
I think, in relation to your question about the fairness of God, you must consider that the
punishment is in relation to the nature and severity of the sin which also takes into consideration
the length of the penalty. Punishment for one person is not necessarily the same for another
person depending on the type of sin. If we believe that God is all-knowing, then it is not difficult
to consider that He would adjust the severity of punishment based on the time element.
There are several articles on the On Doctrine website that you can read. They are in .pdf format,

I am new to your writings which I stumbled upon while doing some research on some key speakers
who would be sharing this week at a church I was invited to attend.
THANK YOU for your dedication and commitment to speak out against those things that are not
truth!! I am Charismatic/Pentecostal in that I am born again and filled with His Holy Spirit but I am in
complete agreement with what you have shared concerning Rick Godwin's and Benny Hinn's ministries.
Emotionalism will NEVER replace being led of the Spirit!
In these perilous times, it's all the more urgent and important to discern the "truth" coming forth and
measure it against the Word. Reading your work is most refreshing and I would encourage you to
continue with what you are doing.
I am blessed to attend a church in [name and place removed-ed.]
whose pastor is balanced in the Word and measures all things against the weight of scripture! The
more I read in books and hear in CDs and DVDs, the more I realize what a drought there seems to be
of scriptural truth in the teachings coming forth into the Church. Very dangerous to flow in that
stream!
Blessings to you, sir.

Nobody, except Mr. Hand
What do you say Christ meant when he said Lazurus was sleeping!
United States
[111-Vol 3]
ON DOCTRINE NOTE:
Luke explains what Jesus meant by "sleep" in John 11:11-12 and Jesus explains in John
11:13.
"Then His disciples said, 'Lord, if he sleeps he will get well.'
However Jesus spoke of his death, but they thought that He was speaking about taking rest in
sleep.
Then Jesus said to them plainly, 'Lazarus is dead'."
Sleep is a euphemism for death, which is something very different than the concept that sleep is a state
of being after death.

My name is [name removed] and I just wanted to thank this site for the
truth of what the bible truly says. I know you have been under the gun because of your strong stand for
biblical truth and exposing the works of evil, but I just wanted to encourage your efforts. I too have
often been called a troublemaker when trying to expose certain wolves in sheeps clothing, but I know
that if we love souls and if we love the brethren we must also warn them of the dangers that these false
apostles teach. I stand behind you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, and if I don't see you here I
will see you in the air. May God continue to bless you and your family along with this site.
