Elisabeth Christine Nelson

Elisabeth Christine Nelson actively shares God's message of love and redemption with others. She has plans to write on various theological subjects and has volunteered for her church's Care Team since 2020. Nelson is focusing on the Holy Spirit for her second book and plans to publish the book in late 2025.

Elisabeth's current book, Salvation from the Lake of Fire, was written to be easily read and purposeful regarding the order of the subject matters, with each section building on the next. Nelson intended to reach a wide range of readers eighteen and over, and from all walks of life.

Nelson dedicates herself to spiritually educating people about the Gospel of Jesus Christ through speaking engagements and writing Christian books. Nelson shares the truth of God's Word with others to equip them to pursue a Godly life.

Nelson's overall objective is to share the fragrance of Christ in love by defending the faith through scripture because love without truth can enable deception.

Nelson, an alumnus of California State University, Long Beach, was the first woman in her family to earn a bachelor's degree; others have followed. She has two fun-loving cats and is blessed with one adult daughter. Nelson currently lives in Whittier, California.

Spiritually Speaking—from the Author

I was impacted on a spiritual level while writing my first book. I gained a more profound spiritual intimacy with the Holy Spirit—my Spiritual Daddy—the Abba Father. The Holy Spirit is our helper and teacher, and we do not always listen to Him as often as we should. I learned this powerful lesson as I was writing the book. I hope the reader discovers this for themselves.

If you purchased my book—Thank You!

Writing a book review is one of the best gifts you can give an author. If you have had an opportunity to read the book, I sincerely ask that you take a little time to write a brief and honest online review.

Thanks for the sneak preview of Chapter Five. You’ve been doing your homework. For a “non-theologian,” your digging is impressive. I especially appreciated your taking the time to assert that Luke’s “Rich Man and Lazarus” passage is not a parable. I am reminded of the adage saying, “for every mile of road, there’s often two miles of ditch—one on either side.” Looking forward to seeing the finished book!

Elisabeth Nelson examines the validity of three differing views of spiritual damnation in this easy-to-follow explanation of Christian salvation.

A preacher’s child, Elisabeth Nelson spent her life in church and studying the Bible. Now in her 60s, she presents her research of three views of the “lake of fire”: Conditionalism, Universalism and Traditionalism. Nelson argues that “Intellectually…the Bible cannot teach three views of hell, or [it] would be a work of fiction. The Bible teaches one view of the lake of fire: thus, making two views unscriptural.” Nelson focuses on proving the validity of Traditionalism.

Using her self-proclaimed knack for breaking “down complicated subjects so all could understand them,” she tackles difficult questions concerning the afterlife, the existence of heaven, and how to avoid eternal burning in hell. She uses scripture to address even more puzzling questions about the eternal fate of non-Christian cultures, addressing abortion, homosexuality, socialism, and why a loving God allows bad things to happen.

Nelson humbly acknowledges that she writes from “a layperson’s theological perspective.” Yet her passion for her message and the magnitude of literary proofs she provides for her arguments are difficult to dismiss. Additionally, her desire to help others find truth is endearing. She states that “there is nothing more important than our salvation” and cautions that “we should be extremely careful about what we spiritually believe in because our souls’ destination depends on it.”

Some readers will find some of her viewpoint tough to swallow. For example, she writes that people who have no contact with the gospel “are given light… and will be held accountable for that light....” No one, she states, “is without excuse.” Her acceptance of Traditionalism will likely feel too rigid and cold-hearted for some. However, Nelson provides ample resources for further study on the topics.

For a thorough, easy-to-comprehend analysis of the lake of fire and what the Bible teaches about damnation for sinners, Nelson’s contribution is a solid choice.
