Bible Question:
Recently we had a Preacher at our Church running a Revival and one night he said that the reason for global warning was that Hell was expanding and since Hell was in the center of the Earth it mades sense that the heat from Hell would be rising toward the surface. I am interested in what others think of this idea, I am not sure what to think because I have never heard this before and never thought about it. Thank You Charlie H |
Bible Answer: This might answer your question. Matthew 12:40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. By adding these verses together it informs us of the location of Hades. 1 Peter 3:18-19 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit, 19by whom also He went and preached to the spirits in prison, Matthew 12:40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. Luke 16:19-24 19"There was a certain rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and fared sumptuously every day. 20But there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, full of sores, who was laid at his gate, 21desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table. Moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. 22So it was that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels to Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died and was buried. 23And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24Then he cried and said, 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.' That is kind of a round about way of finding the location but I think the guy who said it is really fishing to say the least!! Have fun on the forum, CDBJ |
