    Interpreting the Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus: It's Really Good News!

    All things "eternal" come only from God and God alone. His punishment is everlasting as in final (static forever) not eternal(dynamic forever - resurrection and torture) . Rev 20:14And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15And whosoever was not found...

    Interpreting the Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus: It's Really Good News!

    Yes, your quoting the Spirit and meaning of the Scriptures. "Praise the lord, eternal torture for all!" You don't speak in the manner of Jesus or the deacons as per the bible. Luke 23:34Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast...

    1 John 4:1Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 1 John 4:7Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 8He that loveth not...

    Interpreting the Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus: It's Really Good News!

    I strongly believe hell it is relic of our pagan past. Why they do not reason through their sin (Isa 1:18) I do not know. Have faith brother. Babylon will fall. God is Love and all things eternal come from Him. That includes death.. I mean the second death. :-)

    Interpreting the Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus: It's Really Good News!

    I am calling you a hellmonger because you peddle the false doctrine of hell. You embellish and proclaim your self-righteousness while eviscerating the commandment 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' all the while praising Jesus. Are you a sarcastic atheist mocking the Scriptures? I...

    Interpreting the Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus: It's Really Good News!

    Not sure what you are saying. You are using the primitive meaning (secret knowledge) to substantiate your claim of hell. I am using standard definitions as used by New Testament Scholars. Some references I am quoting secondhand. The initial post of "usage" is from biblehub Strong's...

    Interpreting the Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus: It's Really Good News!

    I am not calling Jesus a hellmonger. All the verses quoted last contains questions of Salvation, Resurrection, Heaven, etc... Not about the structure of hell. Not about the mandate of hell. It should indicate to you what Jesus was saying. I am calling you a hellmonger. You peddle this...

    Interpreting the Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus: It's Really Good News!

    I know prophecies are plainly spoken. There is no mysticism or mystery. 2Cor 3:12Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech: Unless of course revelation is not part of the speech or prophecy about which Paul is talking. Please explain the veiled word progressive, if...

    Interpreting the Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus: It's Really Good News!

    Are you some sort a mormon? I don't think we are little gods from that planet and many wives (not all bad). How come I keep hearing the snake? "Believe in the hell and you surely won't die". :-) Paraphrasing Matt 25 about sheeps and goats When Jesus comes as King with the Iron Sceptre (All...

    Interpreting the Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus: It's Really Good News!

    Demon worms and unquenchable hell fire are Scriptural (see (b)!!! "Mark 9:42And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea. (a) 43And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it...

    Interpreting the Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus: It's Really Good News!

    It has no meaning to me as I consider the rich man and Lazarus a parable. But if Luke 16 is a real hell convo, Abraham never said a ghost cannot go back to living. Just that it was unfruitful to do so. Hellraisers believe in ghosts. Luke 16:27Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father...

    As per the Berean Study Bible 1 Corinthians 15:53 For the perishable must be clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come to pass: “Death has...

    Consider the 1 Cor 15 No, the spiritual body is not immortal as it is dependent of the One that giveth. We will die as any other animal and be resurrected contingent of the Judgement of God. The bible clearly states this. Consider eternal punishment How many times has "eternal punishment" be...

    Interpreting the Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus: It's Really Good News!

    Sorry, got lost in the translation so to speak. :-) The question is hell. The only logical reason that hell (an eternal place of punishment and fire) must exist is the immortality of human soul. It has been shown via various means that human soul is not intrinsically immortal. Hence the...

    . Fearing God Alone - verses from 2 Apostles , expressing the same idea Matt 10 28And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell (A). 29Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them...

    Interpreting the Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus: It's Really Good News!

    Eternal vs Immortal There is one Immortal Soul. It is wriiten. That implies man is not even immortal. His natural state is non-existence. Thus the reason for hell is absurd. No immortal soul no need for eternal torture. The immortal soul is a pagan notion that speaks against the Scriptures...
