Subject: Hell in the Bible: Literal or Figurative |
Bible Note: Rowdy I still fail to understand what your after. If you questioning is there a hell? Then the answer is yes. Jesus spoke of hell more than He did heaven. If your questioning whether hell is physical there is actual flames and a never ending fire or spiritual there is spiritual flames and a never ending fire means little if the realm of that hell has becomes your reality. Hell could be many things but it is still reality in whatever realm it is in. It could be physical and as things burn up they regenerate and the process continues. (speculation) Or something could have had to change since fire consumes and we are told the sentence to hell is eternal. It could be you just experience burning in your mind for eternity. (speculation) Or it could be spiritual and there in the spiritual realm which we know very little of fire torments but does not consume. (speculation) Let me assure you one thing. When one is judged and their name is not found in the Lamb's Book of Life they are condemned to hell and it becomes their reality and that reality is not pleasant. You can take that to the bank. EdB |
