Buying Hell
Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works. – Matthew 16:24-27 NKJV.
Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire. – Revelation 20:11-14 NKJV.
Hell is for sale, Hell, Michigan that is, and the price is a bargain having dropped from $1.3 million to just $900,000. Hell consists of five acres of commercial property and includes businesses along with the rights to several really hot slogans. One of those slogans is: “Beer in Hell is safer than water in Flint.” Or, if you don’t like that one, how about “Hell is safer than Detroit”? In lovely downtown Hell, there is the Hell Hole Bar, along with the Chapel of Love, and the Screams Ice Cream Shop. John Colone, the unofficial mayor, or is that devil-in-charge, is “willing to work with anyone.” Who wouldn’t want to own the town that has hosted the longest funeral hearse parade in the world?

What is the price of actually buying a reserved place in the Biblical lake of fire? The devil is running a fire sale; it will only cost you…everything. The only cost is the loss of your own soul; lose your soul, and experience the “second death.” What a deal!
In order, to complete your purchase of a guaranteed participation in the “second death” experience there are some obstacles you will need to avoid. You will need to avoid reading the Bible; you will need to avoid listening to any of those crazy Bible thumping preachers, and stay out of those Bible believing churches. You must also avoid listening to any of those testimonies Christians always want to corner you and share. It is an obstacle course, but if you are really really determined to spend eternity in the Lake of Fire you can do it. You can lose your soul!
I don’t know about you, but buying a place in Hell appears to be far too high a price to pay. The sticker price on a place in Hell requires losing your soul, experiencing a second death, and burning for eternity. Seems like the price of Hell is a far too high to me.
If the price of Hell is more than you want to pay, maybe you should consider Heaven as an alternative. The cost is far lower, in fact while “the wages of sin is death…but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 6:23).” What a deal! Receive Jesus as your Savior by believing in Him (John 1:12; John 3:16) and your name will be written in the “Lamb’s Book of Life.” Your place in Heaven, New Jerusalem, will then be guaranteed for eternity.
