    Does God punish Christians for sin?

    Hebrews 12 tells me that he will discipline us if we need it, with the goal of causing us to partake of his holiness. If a true child of God ignores the conviction of the Spirit and continues yielding to a secret lust they can find themselves in a situation that is designed to discipline them...

    Hell

    Actually I side with the view that Sheol was referring to the place for the wicked dead and this discussion has a long history in academic scholarship. Not everyone agrees but I do. Hell is another word for it and the one used in the KJV and the one most people would use today in understanding...

    Hell

    I fault people who suggest that Jonah died, went to hell for three days and was resurrected before Jesus, making Jonah the first one resurrected from the dead rather than Jesus. The erroneous theological implications of such an obviously bad hermeneutic should be obvious to anyone who suggests...

    Hell

    In verse 4 he said he was in the belly of hell. In verse 5 he said sea weed was wrapped around his head. So.... how does seaweed get into hell? :unsure:

    Hell

    One would have to read resurrection into it with nothing in the text to support it. Which is not tricky it is eisegesis instead of exegesis. Any first year bible student learning hermeneutics will know how to exegete this passage and conclude that Jonah clearly states that while his life was...

    Hell

    Jonah clearly says that he did not die. He said in verse 7 that before his life had faded completely he prayed from the belly of the fish which he had describes as the belly of hell. Verse 1 says he prayed from the belly of the fish in verse 4 He says he was in the belly of hell. Verse 5...

    Hell

    you make the claim without explaining how it clouds anything. Sheol is Hebrew, and generally speaking after all the dicussion has been said it most likely was intended to reference the bad place where the wicked go (or hell in popular thought of today) Hades is Greek. Used in the bible it is...

    And the SMOKE of their torment...No eternal damnation for anyone, except the Devil

    THE SECOND DEATH The Bible calls this final separation from God “the second death.” In the Book of Revelation the lake of fire is so described (Revelation 20:14). Jesus also identified Gehenna as a second death when He warned: “Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the...

    And the SMOKE of their torment...No eternal damnation for anyone, except the Devil

    The Final Judgment. There will be a final judgment in which the wicked dead will be raised and judged according to their works. Whosoever is not found written in the Book of Life, together with the devil and his angels, the beast and the false prophet, will be consigned to everlasting punishment...

    The rich man also died and was buried. 23And being in tormenta in Hades,b he looked up and saw Abraham a long way off, with Lazarus at his side. 24‘Father Abraham! ’a he called out, ‘Have mercy on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in...

    Lambs can also Google "what does the bible say about Hell and eternal punishment" and find better presentations. They would be making a big mistake if they don't fact check the posts on CC. Most of this stuff is heresy or not well thought out.

    And the SMOKE of their torment...No eternal damnation for anyone, except the Devil

    Matthew 25:46—uses the phrase “everlasting [Greek, aionion] punishment.” Some have denied that this means eternal in the sense of absolutely unending. In the same verse, however, Jesus used the same word of life “eternal” (aionion) in a manner that is directly and exactly parallel. In other...

    Hell

    Jesus characterized the intermediate state of the wicked after death (hell, Hades) as one of fire (Luke 16:23,24), but this is to be distinguished from the eternal fire. Jesus’ words in Luke 16 show us that the wicked remain conscious and are aware of their state and of what they have missed...

    And the SMOKE of their torment...No eternal damnation for anyone, except the Devil

    Another New Testament passage refers to eternal punishment as “eternal judgment,” that is, a judgment that is valid eternally (Hebrews 6:2). Still another passage speaks of “ruin” (literally, “death,” “separation”) and “destruction” (eternal loss) (1 Timothy 6:9). This “everlasting destruction”...
