1 | Is Hell fire literal that burns forever? | John 5:24 | Aixen7z4 | 122121 | ||
It is interesting to consider what type of body unbelievers might have and what type of fire hell might have. It was also interesting to consider the different reasons for weeping and gnashing of teeth. The fact that we should do what we can to persuade people to seek heaven and to shun hell is clear (2 Cor 5:11).

2 | Is Hell fire literal that burns forever? | John 5:24 | Kickingguru22 | 122127 | ||
The beleiver has no fear of Hell. Yet a believer must fear that for others sake. Some today either do not believe in hell or think that a loving God would not send people to that place. This is in many liberal ideas of Christianity. EX. A pastor once expressed to me that he would rather some one stay neutral or as is about God than possibly turn them off by sharing the Good News with them. This pastor did not fear the idea that many in his own congregation may experience hell. He seldom if ever challenged them to evaluate their own relationships with God. Messages were feel good, this is what the text is saying messages with no real application to real life. I felt many who attended did not understand a saving faith. The pastor would never find out in fear of "Turning them off". As is everything in life, a proper balance is in order. We have blessed assurance and need to allow others to find it. |
