Question received - "Can you escape hell?"


QUESTION ASKED:  (From a teenager in North America)
 Can you escape Hell? 
Like one guy in the bible did when God or Jesus came and got him. 



MY ANSWER:
Can you escape hell?  Yes if you are still alive.
2 Peter 3:9 New King James Version (NKJV)
9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.

Yes-avoid hell.

Acts 16:30-32 New King James Version (NKJV)
“30 And he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
  31 So they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you a
  household.” 32 Then they spoke the word of the Lord to
 him and to all who were in his house.”

 Are you asking if a condemned soul can escape hell?  The answer is No.

Jesus says hell is forever-
Matthew 25:41 (NKJV)
41 “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels:

It was revealed to john the revelator that hell is forever.
Revelation 20:10 (NKJV)
10 The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

No one has gotten out of hell as recorded in the Bible.
That must be from a sci-fi movie like Hell Boy?

You are wise to consult the Bible.

The condemned cannot escape hell in the afterlife.

The Lord gives us a chance to avoid hell now.
The message to you is repent and believe the gospel.

Again-

2 Peter 3:9  New King James Version (NKJV)
9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to r
