AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 8:12 while the sons and heirs of the kingdom [the descendants of Abraham who will not recognize Me as Messiah] will be thrown out into the outer darkness; in that place [which is farthest removed from the kingdom] there will be weeping [in sorrow and pain] and grinding of teeth [in distress and anger]." [Ps 107:2, 3; Is 49:12; 59:19; Mal 1:11] |
Subject: Is complete darkness the norm for hell? |
Bible Note: "I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life." John 8:12 "God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all." 1 John 1:5 Although Scripture does not specifically say that darkness is the norm for hell, we can infer from these Scriptures that this would be the expected environment. If one considers "hell" to be the unbeliever's final eternal separation from God, then utter darkness makes sense. Just some addtional thoughts! mommapbs |
