4 | Is Hell fire literal that burns forever? | John 5:24 | Aspilos | 122089 | ||
As I had said, I don't think we should question whether or not it is literal, but rather is it spiritual or physical. Not believing something is literal is not believing it at all. Then it would be a fairy tail, no? In Matthew 13, the Lord refers to hell as a fiery furnace and the evil doers that are cast therein as 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. Could be that he needed what was actually symbolized by water. After all, we're talking about eternal hell. 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, and more terrible than we could imagine. I don't believe it's a place where any of us would want to end up. Bendiciones! Aspilos |

7 | What are the "works of God"? | Rom 6:4 | Aspilos | 56803 | ||
Aspiring Overseer, there is no doubt that actions are a result of faith. I really couldn't express that any better than Hank did in the following quote. "The crowds who heard Jesus' teaching about the messianic kingdom misunderstood his points, not an uncommon occurence then, or now. They ask Him in v.26 "What shall we do that we may work the works of God." Their obvious thought pattern then, and the thought pattern of some people today, including some Christians, was that God required them to do some works in order to earn everlasting life. So, correcting them, Jesus responded that the work of God (of God, not man) was (simply put) "Believe in Him (Jesus) whom He (God) sent. Belief (faith) therefore was not connected with or dependent upon work, and work was not a requisite for salvation. --Hank" |
