Hell Know

It Doesn't Last Forever!

Beschreibung

Having practiced medicine for more than 55 years, Dr. Johnstone has witnessed more than one of his patients take their last breath. But sometimes, in his mind, questions popped up. Is the persons soul in the presence of its maker? Or is the soul now suffering in the flames of hell? Or did it simply die with the body and with it will soon be encrypted, buried, or cremated? What is the soul anyway? Is it conscious? Can it feel all of the stimuli coming to it from light, sound, heat, taste, smell, and touch? If so then a soul in heaven would be able to appreciate all of the blessings of that place, but if in hell; it would be suffering in the torment of eternal flames that never consume or destroy. However, if the soul dies with the body, then it would experience nothing. The above questions are not so meaningful if the person who has just died in your presence is not a loved one. However, a loved ones death makes these questions come alive, sometimes with strong emotions not the least of which is sorrow. Dr. Johnstone experienced these feelings one summer afternoon, when he was called by his mother, who was at the bedside of his dying sister, to come to the hospital and pronounced her dead. Recently retired, Dr. Johnstone decided to research Scripture for himself to find answers in it, as to what happens to a person after death. In an effort to prevent bias from forming in his mind, he decided not to consult with any commentaries, but confine his studies mainly, but not exclusively, to The New International and King James versions of the Bible along with an English translation of the Septuagint. He also decided to obtain help from the Interlinear Bible, written in Hebrew, Greek, and English, in conjunction with The New Strongs Expanded Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible. From these sources, he performed a metaphoric autopsy to ferret out the answers to the souls postmortem existence. The pathology report, portrayed in Hell Know, came as a complete surprise.

Autor

Born in 1932, then at age 17, I was challenged by the sudden death of my father, which left me with the responsibility of running the family dairy farm, and getting an education at the same time. In succession, I graduated from high school in 1951, college in 1955, and medical school in 1959, having paid for 90% of my education with money earned from running the farm. I have had no formal Biblical training in a seminary, nor have I had any education in Hebrew or Greek languages. The information I needed for writing the book, derived from careful study of the Interlinear Bible and The New Strongs Expanded Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible Red-Letter Edition. Anyone with a high school education and dedication, will find that these two books can give one the needed grasp of Hebrew and Greek to write a book similar to mine. In addition to the aforementioned books, I bought a Greek-English translation of the Septuagint, which helped tremendously. However, I must admit that I would have had a lot of trouble writing Hell Know without considerable prior knowledge of the KJV Bible. I can thank my mom and Grandmother for teaching me this.
