1 | Is Hell fire literal that burns forever? | Matt 13:40 | Jud | 122072 | ||
Is Hell a literal fire that people burn forever and ever? What scares me that it is possible for any of us to go there even if we are believers. Even it their is a one percent chance, that alone scares me. Can you help me out please? | ||||||
2 | Is Hell fire literal that burns forever? | Matt 13:40 | Aspilos | 122073 | ||
First of all, I don't think we should question whether or not it is literal, but rather is it spiritual or physical. In Matthew 13, the Lord refers to hell as a fiery furnace and the evil doers that are cast therein are weeds. Weeds in this case are symbolic of evil persons. Question is, can the fiery furnace also be symbolic of something? In Luke 16, the rich man desired water to alleviate his torment. 24 So he called to him, 'Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.' I hardly doubt he was seeking regular ole wet water as we know it. I've a feeling that he needed the Spirit of Life that Jesus was speaking about to the woman at the well in John 4. 14 but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life." At any rate, I do believe that hell is literal. It's not a place any of us would want to end up. Bendiciones! Aspilos |
