1 | Are there degrees of punishment in hell? | Luke 12:47 | Makarios | 4116 | ||
Are there degrees of punishment in hell? Luke 12:47,48 as well as Matthew 10:15; 16:27; Revelation 20:12,13; 22:12 lead me to believe that there are degrees of punishment in hell.. | ||||||
2 | Are there degrees of punishment in hell? | Luke 12:47 | charis | 4176 | ||
Dear Nolan Keck, With all due respect, what does it matter? To us, it is moot, and we can only desire salvation from Hell for those the Lord sends us to. To those in Hell, there is little comfort in knowing that someone else is in a 'deeper Hell.' The only place I can see any comfort in Hell, is when said person knows that his loved ones are not following, but going to heaven instead. (Luke 16) I look forward to your answer. In Jesus' name, charis |

Hello Charis! Thank you for your answer. In every way do I want to see all of mankind saved from hell! However, I believe that this is a valid question since this may work to inspire those who know Jesus to reach each and every single person out there (not missing a single one!) to avoid the dreadful punishment of hell. If you deduce that degrees of punishment in hell actually exist, than this helps to explain what our Lord meant by 'few lashes' and 'many lashes'. If I, myself, were to fall from my faith and renounce my faith (which will never happen!) then I will be subject to the harshest judgment since I actually KNOW what it is like to be filled with the Holy Spirit, I KNOW first hand what it is to know Jesus and have a daily walk with him. If I do not communicate this relationship that I have with Jesus to those who are desperate to know Him (but don't realize that themselves), then I am in for a much harsher judgment than if I never knew Jesus to begin with. So those who are entrusted with the Holy Spirit should exercise that faith instead of hiding it in a closet, since those who KNOW but do not share or do not open themselves to Christ will receive a 'harsher' judgment. This basically was the 'thrust' of my question, and I pray that everyone who uses, reads, and studies this list is indeed a true follower of Christ!! | ||||||

Dear Nolan Keck, Wonderful answer! I, personally, do not feel a need to distinguish between degrees of punishment in Hell, but I sense zeal and heart in your answer, and cannot but honor you in it. I would also like to say that I have read your postings, and they all convey this same zeal for the Lord Jesus. We are blessed by your participation. Blessings upon you, friend, in Jesus' name, charis |
