Bible Answer: Greetings mae! It is good that you seek a better understanding of the subject! Here are some more scriptures for reference and consideration. Note, the scriptures speak of eternal punishment and clearly speak not only of fire, but an unquenchable fire. Also, keep this in mind, the number of times the scriptures speak to something or refer to something has nothing at all to do with how we interpret the scriptures. If the word of God says it one time, it is as it was spoken / written! Matthew 25:41 (NASB) "Then He will also say to those on His left, 'Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels" Matthew 25:46 (NASB) "These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life." Mark 9:43 (NASB) "If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life crippled, than, having your two hands, to go into hell, into the unquenchable fire" Mark 9:47-48 (NASB) 9:47 "If your eye causes you to stumble, throw it out; it is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye, than, having two eyes, to be cast into hell, 9:48 where THEIR WORM DOES NOT DIE, AND THE FIRE IS NOT QUENCHED." Revelation 14:9-11 (NASB) 14:9 Then another angel, a third one, followed them, saying with a loud voice, "If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, 14:10 he also will drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is mixed in full strength in the cup of His anger; and he will be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. 14:11 "And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever; they have no rest day and night, those who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name." Revelation 20:10 (NASB) "And the devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are also; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever." Compare this last verse Revelation 20:10 with the first verse listed in this post Matthew 25:41. God Bless you mae, Steve |
