Isn’t it kind of messed up that so many of us were traumatized as kids by the idea of eternal hell?
We were just trying to be good. Trying to make sense of the world. But instead of being taught how to connect with love, we were taught how to fear God.
“Narrow is the gate.” Only 144,000 get in. Lukewarm believers will be spit out. Many are called, but few are chosen.
So you start asking: Am I one of the chosen? And if I am… how do I know I’m choosing this? How does that even make sense?
You try to believe hard enough. You pray the right way. You do everything you’re told. But deep down, you still feel unsafe. Still wonder if you’ll be punished forever just for getting it wrong.
John Rainey was a teaching pastor who spent decades inside the system—until one question about eternal hell cracked it wide open. What followed was a complete spiritual awakening and a return to divine love, free from fear.
He’s the author of Finding God, Losing God, Becoming God and host of the podcast House of Saint Rainey.
