1 | A "worse place" in hell for greater sin? | Bible general Archive 1 | Darmstrn | 21902 | ||
I am doing a paper that compares the Hell of "Dante's Inferno" with the biblical description. Aside from Matthew 18:6, Mark 9:42, or Luke 17:2 (The millstone comment), is there a scripture that says something like "a worse punishment is reserved for those who lead others astray"? I know I've seen it somewhere (I think it was in reference to corrupt church leadership), but I cannot find it. | ||||||

I believe the verse you are thinking of is James 3:1, "Let not many of you become teachers, my brethren, knowing that as such we shall incur a stricter judgement." (NASB) Also, 1 Cor 6:12-20 seems to imply sexual sin as worse than others, as it is a sin against your own body - the temple of the Lord. However, neither passages state that there are levels of hell associated. I would also recommend to you a book, "Four Views on Hell" (William Crockett, ed.). It contains four short essays and counterarguments by Christians with competing views. (I'm a pretty big fan of the "Counterpoints" series...) Blessings to you as you write your paper. |
