is that hell or does your face always melt like that?

A television program I watched talked about how church's now dont' preach enough repentance. We are not hearing the real story of what a life in paradise is. If we sin it will be hell and damnation. Not a pat on the hand.

The end may not be near but it feels pretty darned close.



Fire and brimstone is a pejorative term used to describe a motif in Christian preaching which uses vivid descriptions of judgment, and the damnation to Hell of sinners forever to encourage repentance out of fear of divine wrath and punishment.






The Puritan preacher Thomas Vincent (an eyewitness of the Great Fire of London) authored a book called "Fire and Brimstone in Hell", first published in 1670. In it he quotes from Psalm 11:6 "Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and a horrible tempest, this shall be the portion of their cup."

End times (or the End of Days) usually refers to the eschatological ideas in the three Abrahamic Religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam). The End Times are often (but not always) depicted as a time of tribulation that precede the predicted coming of a messianic figure.
In the broadest sense, a number of religions and faith traditions have eschatological ideas about the End Times.
