1 | Hell | Jer 32:35 | Beja | 227505 | ||
PaulusSecundus, Forgive me, I was not being very precise in that post. We tend to use the word "hell" to refer to two different things. One is hades, which is temporary. The other is the coming lake of fire. Please note the fate of those who are spoken of in the very verse you quoted. Rev 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. Rev 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. Rev 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. (kjv) So the current hell (hades) is not eternal, but what I meant was the lake of fire. This is clearly stated to be eternal in the very same passage. Rev 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. So the very passage you cite affirms with certainty what I am saying. And lest we imagine that this is only eternal for demons and not eternal for unforgiven sinners let me quote Jesus' own affirmation of the eternality of hell when preaching to men and women. Mar 9:43 And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Mar 9:44 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. So yes, the dead can be consigned to hell "for all eternity." In Christ, Beja |

Its interesting to note in Mark 9:43, 44, that Young and Williams translate: "Go away into Gehenna, into the fire which cannot be put out" and "Go away to the gehenna, to the fire--the unquenchable." So, many translations render both "Hades" and "Gehenna" as "hell," yet you, rightly, differentiate between the two. What do you think? |

3 | Hell | Jer 32:35 | Beja | 227545 | ||
PaulusSecundus, Right again. I'm sorry, I so very much slip into the common habit of referring to them both as hell. I think Gehenna here is referring to the lake of fire. Hades is one place, lake of fire/gehenna is another. Hades will be done away with and gehenna will never be quenched. In Christ, Beja |

Beja: Why do you think the "rich man" in Luke 16:22, 23 went to "Hades" and not Gehenna when he died? |
