Post by z***@windstream.net"Hell" in the Bible; FACT
That it is fiery; FICTION
If you are, you need change right away and go to the Bible to get your
truths, not the mislead churches. (2 Tim 3:16)
Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If anyone
worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead
or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of
God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation.
He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the
holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their
torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night,
who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of
his name. (Revelation 14:911, NKJV)
Much of Revelation is symbolic. For example, do you believe in a
literal beast with many heads and eyes etc? You know who the Lamb is
symbolic of. Is that "mark" literal on your forehead or hands? The
torment and the fire is also symbolic of eternal death.
"His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing
floor and gather his wheat into the barn, but the chaff he will burn
with unquenchable fire" (Matthew 3:12, ESV).
Yes, when you burn the chaff does it still continue to exist? Of
course not. The fire (like in Gehenna) represents eternal destruction.
(Gehenna was Jerusalem's garbage dump where fires were kept going
24/7)
GOD IS NOT A SADIST. HE NEVER TORTURES. Only the churches sick god
does. Guess who is behind the doctrine of eternal fire torturing by
God?
That is not surprising that Satan is behind it, but it is surprising
that he got so many people to believe in his sadistic doctrines. How
would you like it if people accused you of torturing your disobedient
children? Neither does God like it.
-- New King James
1 Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some
will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and
doctrines of demons,
"And if your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to
enter life crippled than with two hands to go to hell, to the
unquenchable fire" (Mark 9:43, ESV).
If that was literal, most imperfect Christians would end up blind, and
handless.
"Where their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched" (Mark 9:48,
ESV).
If literal, these would be SUPER IMMORTAL WORMS. Fire does not kill
them but sadly they have to live in that fire forever. Thus they must
have been evil worms.
"His winnowing fork is in his hand, to clear his threshing floor and to
gather the wheat into his barn, but the chaff he will burn with
unquenchable fire" (Luke 3:17, ESV).
If you assume that is hellfire, why did Job want to jump in hellfire?
(sheol) (Job 14:13) If nothing else, use your common sense. Please
answer Job 14:13.
Sincerely James.
