Bible Question (short): Eternal fire |
Question (full): Thanks You mentioned that it is not prominent (meaning it is not important) in the Old testament why? do you think it is not unjust to them that they are not educated about this (Hell or Heaven) and now in our time received promises that we can go to heaven if we observe the teaching of Jesus Christ, and or if we committed sins (mortal sins) our souls will be tormented in hell day and night. In the book genesis what God said to adam, Ge 3:19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. We granted for a while, that adam will go to hell, do you think in is unjust to him that God will brought him to the kind of punishment. Adam has no idea about hell or heaven. If God will bring those people to the punishment that they don’t know or He did not gave warning about this punishment I think it will be unjust. You also mentioned the eternal punishment. In the book of Jude Jude 1:7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. I would like to focus to the word "eternal" that particular verse that I quoted it mentioned the "eternal" fire of sodom. I know that you would agree that the fire of sodom are not that there anymore. But the bible says "Eternal Fire of Sodom". I hope you would explain my points. Johnny |
