1 | Levels of heaven and hell? | Luke 12:47 | Radioman2 | 83809 | ||
"varying degrees of punishment in hell is clearly taught..." Scripture quotations are from the NASB. Luke 12:47 "And that slave who knew his master's will and did not get ready or act in accord with his will, will receive many lashes, Luke 12:48 but the one who did not know it, and committed deeds worthy of a flogging, will receive but few. From everyone who has been given much, much will be required; and to whom they entrusted much, of him they will ask all the more. "The degree of punishment is commensurate with the extent to which the unfaithful behavior was willful. Note that ignorance is nonetheless no excuse (v.48). That there will be varying degrees of punishment in hell is clearly taught in Matt 10:15; 11:22,24; Mark 6:11 and Heb 10:29" (p. 1540, MacArthur Study Bible, Word, 1997). Heb 10:29 How much severer punishment do you think he will deserve who has trampled under foot the Son of God, and has regarded as unclean the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has insulted the Spirit of grace? "There will be degrees of punishment in hell" (p. 1915, MacArthur Study Bible, Word, 1997). |

That's pretty cool,Radioman2..it's amazing how this same exact verse that I remind myself of quite often when given a bit more responsability(Luke 12:48) means also so much more. I notice as I grow in God's Word how each verse"blooms" into a whole new meaning at each different level God takes me..isn't that amazing? I can see now that God's Word truly is"living and active,sharper than any two-edged sword"...Sammy!! | ||||||
