ok i give it to you, you did a good job at coming back. but it does not deny the fact, that in divine revelations of hell, the woman is pleading for people to get saved. The antichrist will quote scriptures and use them in a way to make it seem u are doing right, when instead you are doing wrong. When you have the holy spirit, you can recognize stuff like this. The holy spirit in me give me no reason to doubt this book. Dante's inferno was ment to entertain, this book is ment to save.

The gift of prophecy, of God specifically inspiring an individual to provide a message, passed away at the end of the first century (I Corinthians 13:8-10).

1 Corinthians 13:8-10 (New King James Version)
8 Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part. 10But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.  That which is perfect is God's word, the Bible.


God has seen fit to reveal His attitude toward those who would prophecy false things, those who claim to have powers that are impossible to have in this age. Here is what God says about prophets...what do they all have in common?

Matthew 7:15-20, “Beware of false prophets , who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.  You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles?  Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit.  Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you will know them."

Matthew 24:11-13, “Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many.  And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.

2 Peter 2:1-3, “But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction. And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed. By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber.

1 John 4:1,“Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God;because many false prophets have gone out into the world” (NKJV).


Im sorry but i am still not convinced. Nothin of what you stated leads me to believe that the gift of prophecy is no more. In fact, you have led me to believe in the gift of prophecy even more by the scripture of matthew 7:15-20. God is saying beware of false prophets. Then goes to talk about good trees bear good fruits, and bad trees bear good fruits, and that you will know them by their fruit. Leading me to believe there are true prophets and false prophets. In corinthians. it seems God is trying to paint a bigger picture, nothing about the gift of prophecy is no more.

Okay I'm up to chapter 20 now: Heaven.

I got to get ready for work now and I'll be back on later to read the rest. I know my imagination can only go so far and it fast-forwards the action while all this horror is going on. I know that when I read it takes seconds but in reality the never ending horror takes hours and hours in her time.

Our imagination is very limited to what the reality holds, only through experience can we truly understand how bad Hell really is.

If you refuse to believe 1 Corinthians 13:8-10 then there is probably nothing I can say to change your mind. However, I will leave you with this to think about.

There are those who believe that God still speaks directly to us as He did in the first century as the New Testament was being written. Some believing this see no need to study His communication to us through the Scriptures and, so, they do not read the entire Bible or feel that the Scriptures do not cover all modern-day situations.

There was a reason God communicated directly to men in the first century. The information He intended for us was not previously known (Romans 7:7; Ephesians 3:5; I Corinthians 2:9-11; Nehemiah 9:14), and He wanted to insure that it was provided accurately (Matthew 24:35; II Peter 1:15). In the Scriptures, we are assured that we have the complete will of God for man today. His apostles were promised that the Holy Spirit would be given to “guide them into all truth.” (John 16:13) Unless He lied, they had all truth in the first century!

Paul tells us in II Timothy 3:16, 17, “all scripture was given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, completely furnished unto all good works.” If we have in Scripture the instruction for all good works, what else can we possibly need? In Ephesians 3:3-5, Paul tells us he received his message by revelation from God, and that it can be understood by its readers. If we have all truth in the writings of the apostles; if the scriptures furnish to “all good works” and make the man of God “complete”, and it is written so we can understand it, there is no need for God to continue to reveal to mankind over and over again that which He provided completely. In fact, Jude 3 tells us the “faith” was once for all delivered unto the saints. Peter was able to say that God “hath given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness through the knowledge of him that hath called us by glory and virtue...” (II Peter 1:3).

There are some who believe that God must speak to guide us in daily choices. Such a view ignores the scriptural process which develops maturity with the growing spiritual person that provides the ability to “discern good and evil” (Hebrews 5:12-14).

Others point out that the Scriptures themselves teach that the Spirit must lead and guide the Christian. While they do so, it is important to understand HOW the Spirit does so. In Ephesians 6:17, Paul tells us to take “the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God...” As the instrument through which a soldier does battle is the “sword”, so the instrument through which the Spirit operates is the word of God.

How did this happen? The Bible says the Spirit was to convict the world of sin (John 16:8). On the day of Pentecost, in carrying out this promise, the words of the Spirit pricked men in the heart, and led them to seek salvation (Acts 2:36-38). See also Acts 24:25.

Dante was a devout Catholic, and he wrote it (by his own description) "to remove those living in this life from the state of misery and lead them to the state of felicity." (Note that "Comedy" at that time was a word that we would probably describe as "Epic" now, i.e. a long narrative.) His beliefs have been repeatedly vindicated, and there has never been any evidence that show heresy contained within his book, and none of it directly conflicted with anything that was taught by the Catholic Church at the time.

Does this book have any reference to sins? Or scriptures from the Bible? Or how to prevent your soul from going to Hell such as, how to become saved? Does it speak of repentence at any time? Or is it just a description of heaven and hell?

You seem genuinely confused about why Dante's Inferno was brought up.

It was brought up in an attempt to show you that very descriptive depictions of hell have already been written. The difference is Dante never claimed to have been literally taken to hell but he could have just as easily filled it with information from the Bible and made the same claim.

You seem to think that because this book doesn't instantly and obviously do any harm or evil that the story she tells must be true. The reasons why someone would lie like this have already been posted, money, fame, insanity, or even just genuinely thinking this is the best way to convince and save atheists. None of this should make you believe a story with no proof or backing of any kind.


You probably believed every time someone claimed to have found the noahs ark too but every time it's been proven false.

The reason why i believe the womans book is true. Because throughout the book she is pleading with the reader, if not saved, to get saved as soon as possible, and even how to get saved. The book even includes a sinners prayer so that u can accept Jesus into your heart. It also speaks about repentence and talks about some sins that would cause you to go to hell for ex. homosexuality. And goes to talk about how God intended man for woman and woman for man. I believe this book is not for monetary gain whatsoever. The enemy would never speak about how to give your life to Jesus, for he would want you to decieve you and make you think you do not need him.
