1 | Scripture? | Heb 11:40 | Rowdy | 114930 | ||
I'm saying that this language is figurative because our God is spiritual and we are physical. Have you ever thought about explaining your world to your neighborhood ant? Silly, yes...I can imagine your smile. In a similar way, our Creator is trying to tell us what life is going to be like after He destroys this whole universe and brings us into the next world. It's our choice as to whether we go to Heaven or to Hell. Tell me how do you RECONCILE the literal language of Revelation, Isaiah and all the other places where Heaven and Hell are cited and described WITH the scripture 2 Pet 3:10? So far I've not heard any convincing argument but I'm looking most earnestly for all comments from any and all Forum participants. I appreciate your question and pray God's blessings on you. |

2 | Scripture? | Heb 11:40 | bstudent | 116044 | ||
At Rev 21:1 "the sea is no more." Isa 57:20 states that "the wicked are like the sea." So the wicked are no more in harmony with 2 Peter 3, the "ungodly men", not the physical earth were destroyed in Noah's day. Thus the heavens and the earth are people, the "former heavens" being former authorities or governments to be replaced by God's kingdom, and the "former earth" being those who supported these corrupt, anti-Kingdom authorities to be replaced by loyal Christians that have exercised faith in "the blood of the Lamb" and resurrected pre-Christian faithful. God promised not to destroy the earth by flood again. To do so completely "by fire" would hardly be in keeping with this promise. Gehenna or "the lake of fire" mean the second death, that is total destruction, no coming back. (Rev 20:14) |
