Subject: Knowledge of why they are in torment? |
Bible Note: Hi Azure, I haven’t found any biblical evidence that would suggest that the occupants residing in Hell have any understanding or knowledge of God “at all”. As believers in Christ we are blessed by the fact that the Holy Spirit resided in us and reveals truth to us about God. 1 Cor. 2:9-14 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 10But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 11For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 12Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 13Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. It appears that those in “hell” are totally oblivious to “anything” related to God. It’s like an extension of what they actually desired while on this side of the grave, their eyes are on themselves and what they have done instead of on God and what He did for us in the person of His Son. All the more reason to say “Praise the Lord” for the mercy and grace that The Father has shown toward those that love and trust in Him through His Son, Jesus! John 16:27-28 Jesus said: For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God. I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father. A Shout of Praise and Thanks to the Lord on Thanksgiving Day from all those “In Christ”!
