Subject: Partly under the Law? |
Bible Note: Hi Merv, Thank you for your reply. I had forgotten about the tablets being inside the ark, with the books of the law on the outside. That is certainly interestng in light of this discussion. :-) Do you think that the Ten Commandments represent the law that is to be written on our hearts? What part of the Mosaic Law is the “moral law”, and where in scripture are we told that the born again person remains subject to that law? Regarding the eternal nature of hell, what do you do with verses such as these: Isaiah 66:24 And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh. Rev 14:11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. Mark 9:43 And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: 44 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. These verses seem very clear that those suffering this punishment do not die, and will suffer forever. Love in Christ, Mark |
