OBJECTION: There is a lake of fire depicted at Rev 20:11-15. Sorry; but it's
impossible to liquefy flame.

RESPONSE: According to Rev 20:10, the lake consists of not only fire; but
also a non-metallic substance called brimstone; which Webster's defines as
sulfur.

Sulfur melts at 232.36º F and boils at 832.28º F. If sulfur's temperature is
maintained in that range; it easily suffices for an impoundment consisting of
both flame and liquid.

†. Jude 1:7 . . Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a similar
manner to these, gave themselves over to fornication and gone after strange
flesh

The koiné Greek word for "fornication" in Jude's statement is ekporneuo (ek
porn-yoo'-o) which means: to be utterly unchaste.

A lack of chastity is exemplified by a broad spectrum of unholy sexual
conduct including, but not limited to adultery, incest, living together, casual
sex, swinger sex, wife swapping, sex between consenting adults, sex
between consenting minors, sex between teachers and consenting students,
sex with a sex toy, sex with a mannequin and/or sex with an inflatable doll,
etc. To be "utterly" unchaste implies not just a preference for those kinds of
sexual behaviors, but an addiction to them.

The word for "strange" is heteros (het'-er-os) which means: other or
different. That could be taken to indicate bestiality but I think what it really
refers to is unnatural sex; in other words: men sleeping with women, and
vice versa, isn't strange but rather quite the norm. But men sleeping with
men, and/or women sleeping with women is rather strange; viz: queer;
which Webster's defines as: unconventional; in other words out of the
ordinary.

Now; maybe the men of Sodom weren't gay; but their preference for the
males instead of the females under Lot's roof indicate that they were at the
least Bi. Since one is just as unconventional as the other then I really see no
significant difference between the two. A man, or a woman, need not be
psychologically LGBT to fall under the condemnation of going after strange
flesh just so long as they go after it.

Mr. Phil Robertson of Duck Dynasty got himself in hot water for taking a
stand against certain kinds of sexual conduct. Though his comments were
politically unacceptable, Mr. Robertson is on good solid Christian ground
because LGBT are depicted in the Bible as shameful, indecent, and
unnatural.

†. Rom 1:26-27 . . God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women
exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men
also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for
one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men.

Now, there are folk who would love nothing better than to construe those
remarks as hate speech; but if they do, I should hope they have better
sense than to come after me because I'm not the bad guy: the author of
Romans is their bad guy. I'm the author of neither the Bible nor of
Christianity; and if some people aren't adult enough to discuss Christianity
on a biblical level, then maybe they shouldn't be on a forum where
Christianity is discussed.

I've seen people on the internet attempt to tone down Rom 1:26-27 by
construing it to be speaking of cult prostitution. Well; that doesn't fly. The
language and grammar of that entire section from Rom 1:18 down to, and
including Rom 2:1 is a per se indictment against the entire human race. In
other words: though someone may not be LGBT, nevertheless they'll find
themselves accused of something somewhere in that indictment right along
with the LGBT.

You know; I am really curious how in the world LGBT obtained so much
respectability. I mean; for centuries their manner of life was deemed
extremely inappropriate, and now all of a sudden it has Federal protections
as if LGBTs are on some sort of endangered species list.

Speaking of chastity: back in the decade of the 1950's, my sister, while in
high school, got herself knocked-up out of wedlock. So our parents whisked
her off to an out-of-state aunt until her baby was born; after which she gave
it up for adoption. You see, in those days pre-marital conception was a
disgrace; but nowadays celebrities go on talk shows to boast about their
illegitimate children; even babies conceived with other people before their
divorces are final; which is a double whammy of adultery and shame.

But according to biblical Christianity, there's a reckoning coming when all
manner of scripturally unapproved sexual behaviors will finally be put in a
right perspective.

†. 2Pet 2:6 . . He turned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes--
condemned them to destruction --making them an example to those who
afterward would live impiously.

Back in 1968 I was a young 24 year-old welder just starting out in the
metals trades. One of the first real welding jobs I landed was with a
manufacturer located in one of the buildings that were at one time used for
knocking together Liberty ships in the old WW2 Kaiser shipyard on a
waterfront of the Columbia River in the State of Washington.

One day the manufacturer's layout man was strolling through the shop. He
stopped where I was and casually asked me, right out of the blue: "Cliff are
you ready for Christ's return?"

Well, the only information I had up to that point as regards Christ was what
I learned from nuns in catechism. They had never mentioned Christ's return;
so the layout man's question made no sense to me whatsoever. But to the
point: my initial reaction was fear. And my secondary reaction was anger. So
I asked the layout man, in a rather indignant tone: "Why would Christ want
to come back?"

You see; I was in no hurry to meet Christ because I instinctively knew the
interview would not be pleasant. Even at only 24 years-old I already had a
lot to answer for; and I especially did not want to be confronted with any of
my behavior that took place in private when I thought nobody was looking.

†. Gen 18:23 . . Abraham said: Will You sweep away the innocent along with
the guilty?

The answer to that of course is a resounding YES!

†. Deut 5:9 . . I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity
of the fathers on the children, and on the third and the fourth generations of
those who hate Me.

A parent's progeny isn't held responsible for their parent's conduct, but they
do become collateral damage when God goes after the parents. For example
the Flood. No doubt quite a few underage children drowned in that event due
to their parents' wickedness. The same no doubt happened to the children in
Sodom and Gomorrah. And in moving against Pharaoh, God moved against
everything that pertained to him; including, but not limited to, his entire
country.

A horrific example of the principle of collateral damage is located at Num
16:25-34, and more at 2Sam 21:1-9; and would have occurred at Nineveh
too had not the parents repented at Jonah's preaching. In point of fact, the
principle of collateral damage is evident throughout the Old Testament
where the lives of innocent children were effected not "for" their parents'
sins; but rather: due to their parents' sins.

Personally; I feel very strongly that punishing a parent's conduct by taking it
out on their innocent progeny is a cruel way of getting back at people.
However; I'm resigned to cope with God's rather strange way of
administering justice because that's just the way He is; and there's nothing
that I, a puny little organic creature, can do about it; and besides: it's risky
to challenge God because dissent is a crime in His realm.

Woe to him who quarrels with his Maker (Isa 45:9)

But who are you, O man, to talk back to God? (Rom 9:20)

I often encounter rational people who have come to the logical conclusion--
quite correctly --that God has set the bar so high; that He's made it humanly
impossible to attain heaven; so what's the point of even trying.

And there are others who have decided that as bad as hell might be, it would
be even worse to squander this life in self denial and quite possibly end up
going to hell anyway. Those people have decided that it's better to live a life
of pleasure here and a life of no pleasure there, rather than run the risk of
having no pleasure in both places. I have to agree: that would be sad.

A third classification of folk are in a clash of wills with God. In other words:
they are so determined not to give in to God's demands that they would
rather be cremated alive than do so. In their minds, if they give in; then
God will win; which for them is not only unacceptable; but thoroughly
intolerable. Those people are tough; just as tough as the anti-commie crowd
who proudly announce: Better dead than Red, and/or the pro-gun people
who defiantly announce: If you want my guns; you'll have to pry them loose
from my cold, dead fingers.

I'm not saying it's bad to be anti-commie, nor bad to be pro-gun. I'm just
using those people's attitude to illustrate the bitter impasse going on
between God and those who would rather reign in hell than serve in heaven.

Then there are people who have chosen hell over heaven because they'll be
more at home in hell: they'll fit in; but in heaven they wouldn't fit in.

And like they say: birds of a feather flock together; viz: some prefer the
company of certain kinds of rather unsavory folk; and people in heaven are
so heavenly minded that they're no fun to be with at all. In addition; people
in hell are free to speak their minds, and use all the purple epithets, double
entendres, colorful metaphors, and F-bombs that they want; but in heaven
people have to be careful with their choice of words.

So you see; for some folk hell is the better choice; and were they to end up
in heaven instead; I think they would actually be very disappointed.

You really have to kind of envy people who've made hell their choice rather
than their luck. At least they know where they're going when they pass on
and have mentally prepared themselves for the worst; but the
approximately 1.2 billion Catholics currently working out their salvation as
per Php 2:12 haven't a clue where they're headed. They're hoping for the
best; while in the back of their minds dreading the worst because for people
working out their salvation, heaven is never a sure thing. In point of fact,
the Roman catechism prohibits Catholics from taking heaven for granted.

Council of Trent Session 6, Chapter 16, Canon 16: If anyone says that he
will for certain, with an absolute and infallible certainty, have that great gift
of perseverance even to the end, unless he shall have learned this by a
special revelation, let him be anathema.

Catholics who fail to adequately work out their salvation as per Php 2:12 will
be cruelly heckled without mercy in hell by the very people that they at one
time condemned as unfit to inherit the kingdom of God. The mockers will
taunt and sing: "Hey Christian! How about give us the gospel ay? Lead us to
Christ." ouch! That's a bitter pill.

†. John 5:24 . . I assure you: those who listen to my message, and believe
in God who sent me, have eternal life. They will never be condemned for
their sins, but they have already passed from death into life.

Q: What happens to born-again Christians who stop listening to Christ and
stop believing in God who sent him? Do they then lose eternal life, end up
condemned for their sins, and pass back from life into death?

A: The question is of course a non sequitur because it's based upon a false
premise. According to 1John 3:9, the Spirit birth, about which Christ spoke
at John 3:3-8, makes it impossible for truly born-again Christians to stop
listening to Christ and/or stop believing in God who sent him.

†. Matt 10:22 . . He who stands firm to the end will be saved.

Q: What happens to truly born-again Christians that become disillusioned
with Christ and give him and his teachings the deep six? Won't they be de
saved at the end?

A: That question is yet another non sequitur because it too is based upon a
false premise.

Haven't you ever wondered why Christ testified that the Spirit birth is a must
rather than an option? Well; I should think that the answer to that is
obvious. It's to ensure that truly born-again Christians never, ever become
disillusioned with Christ and give him and his teachings the deep six-- the
reason being that according to 1John 3:9, God's seed remains in Spirit-born
Christians. What's the odds of God become disillusioned with Christ and
giving him and his teachings the deep six? Zero. Well then the odds of His
seed becoming disillusioned with Christ and giving him and his teachings the
deep six is zero too.

First your assumption that all those who die do not know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior is wrong. There are many of those who die every hour are True Christians.

Instead of worrying about how many people a day die, you should be out there bring the Gospel of Salvation to these people.

†. 1John 4:17 . . as He is, so also are we in this world.

That verse appears to contradict the one below.

†. 1John 3:2 . . Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not
appeared as yet what we shall be. We know that, when he appears, we shall
be like him, because we shall see him just as he is.

The trick is: 1John 4:17 is speaking of Christ's personal characteristics;
which the "we" are supposed to have already rather than looking forward to
obtaining, so that when they meet Christ for the first time, they won't be
encountering a strange foreign potentate with whom they are unable to
relate.

1John 3:2 is speaking of the nature of Christ's glorious body; which is a
superhuman body impervious to death and putrefaction that the "we"
confidently expect to obtain some day. (Rom 8:23-25, 1Cor 15:52-53)

You might be surprised at the amount of interest generated by a running tab
of hell's body count. I host this very same thread on another forum. In the
nine months since its beginning, the thread has attracted 9,708 views.
They're the smart ones.

†. Ecc 7:2 . . It is better to go to a house of mourning than to go to a house
of gaiety, for death is the destiny of every man; the living should take this
seriously.

†. Eccl 11:9 . . Be happy, young man, while you are young, and let your
heart give you joy in the days of your youth. Follow the ways of your heart
and whatever your eyes see, but know that for all these things God will bring
you to judgment.

†. Luke 12:4-5 . . I say unto you my friends: Be not afraid of them that kill
the body, and after that have no more that they can do. But I will forewarn
you whom ye shall fear: fear Him, which after He hath killed hath power to
cast into hell; yea, I say unto you: fear Him.

In the incident below; Abimelech was within a hair's breadth of being slain or
sleeping with Abraham's wife Sarah even though he didn't know at the time
that she was married.

†. Gen 20:4b . . He said: O Lord, will You slay people even though innocent?

The answer to Abimelech's question is YES.

The thing is; although ignorance mitigates one's guilt, it is still no excuse.
For example: laws in the 5th chapter of Leviticus require that after it's
brought to someone's attention that they have done something wrong, they
have to offer an atonement for the guilt they accrued without their knowing
it. In point of fact: Num15:30-31 permits neither forgiveness nor atonement
for sins committed knowingly; viz: deliberate sins.

So the sinner is guilty either way; whether he sins uninformed or sins
informed makes no difference except that informed sins pull down upon
one's self far more serious consequences than uninformed sins.

†. Luke 12:47-48 . .That servant who knows his master's will and does not
get ready or does not do what his master wants will be beaten with many
blows. But the one who does not know and does things deserving
punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been
given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been
entrusted with much, much more will be required.

It's sometimes proposed that Noah could have jumped off the Ark had he
been inclined. Well; I seriously doubt that Noah would have done something
so foolhardy. But no matter, because according to Gen 7:16, he was shut in.

The Lord not only shut him in, but sealed him in too. The hatch to hull
mating surfaces had to be waterproofed with bitumen the same as all the
rest of the hull. (Gen 6:14)

The Hebrew word for "shut" actually means to shut up; like as when a corral
gate is closed to pen livestock and/or the door of a jail cell is locked to
confine a convict. In other words, Noah was trapped inside the Ark by a door
that could be opened only from the outside. That's interesting. It means that
once the Ark's door was sealed, Noah's free will no longer mattered; it was
trumped by the free will of a higher power; and were he, or anybody else
inside, to change their mind about going, it was too late.

Rev 1:9-18 . . I, John, your brother and companion in the suffering and
kingdom and patient endurance that are ours in Jesus, was on the island of
Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus. On the
Lord's Day I was in the Spirit, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a
trumpet, which said: "Write on a scroll what you see and send it to the
seven churches: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis,
Philadelphia and Laodicea."

. . . I turned around to see the voice that was speaking to me. And when I
turned I saw seven golden lampstands, and among the lampstands was
someone like a son of man, dressed in a robe reaching down to his feet and
with a golden sash around his chest. His head and hair were white like wool,
as white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire. His feet were like
bronze glowing in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of rushing
waters. In his right hand he held seven stars, and out of his mouth came a
sharp double-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in all its
brilliance.

. . .When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. Then he placed his
right hand on me and said: "Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. I
am the Living one; I was dead, and behold I am alive for ever and ever! And
I hold the keys of death and Hades."

Rev 3:7 . . What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can
open.

I don’t think it has anything to do with the rudiments of this world used in parables according to the interpretation prescription found in 2 Cor. 4 :18 which is needed to rightly divide, comparing the spiritual meaning not seen to the same (faith to faith) The Christian faith principle in respect to the faith of (belonging to Christ)

Can't prove Christ after the rudiments of this world, after the philosophies as oral traditions of men .

That prescription is one of the first things first if we are to find the spiritual meaning hid from the lost in the parables.

2Co 4:18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

When comparing the spiritual unseen to the same we are given a understanding as to how to reconcile the “heart of earth” metaphor with the belly of the whale metaphor as a living suffering hell . Christ cannot die. He gave his Spirit life in jeopardy of his own pouring it out on flesh . The flesh profited fo nothing other than a demonstration of a work not seen .

The Lamb of God slain from the foundation (6 days) of the world

Parables must be compared to other parables if we are to find the spiritual understanding.The pearl of great price hid from the lost

Mat 12:40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

whale's belly = heart of the earth

Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's belly,And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice.Jon 2:1

Those who have not received the Spirit of Christ by which all men are born again from above not having been frely given a new spirit that could never die simply will not arise to receive the promise.Their remains that the worms don't devour go up in spoke.

Dead bodies without spirit life have no life to offer as a work of suffering. Faith has to do with those still alive. A body with a spirit.

Jam 2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

Mat 12:40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly;
so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the
earth.
The Lord paralleled his journey with Jonah's. Well, seeing as how Christ was
dead for most of the time that he was in the tomb, then I think it's valid to
conclude that Jonah was dead for most of the time that he was in the fish.

According to Jonah's second chapter, there were moments during his
nautical adventure when he was in two places at once: the fish's belly and
the bottoms of the mountains.

Seeing as how the Lord paralleled his own journey with Jonah's, then I
believe it is valid to conclude that there were moments in Christ's adventure
when he was in two places at once too: the tomb's belly and also the
bottoms of the mountains.

(It doesn't take much education to know that the bottoms of the mountains
are situated in neither a fish's tummy, nor a tomb.)

Jesus appropriated the story of Jonah to predict his resurrection.
Unfortunately people are typically distracted by the time element;
consequently totally missing the parallel's purpose. The average rank and
file pew warmer is convinced that Jonah was alive the whole time he was in
the fish. Well, had he been, then Jesus would had to been alive the whole
time he was in the tomb; otherwise the parallel fails.

FYI: According to Jonah 2:6, the prophet was spared putrefaction. Well;
according to Ps 16:8-10 and Acts 2:25-31, Jesus too was spared
putrefaction. Thus it all came to pass just as the Lord said: As Jonah,
so the Son of Man.

Rev 21:3-4 . . Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with
them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be
their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more
death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed
away.

The "now" spoken of in that passage isn't today's here and now, rather, the
now that will be after the great white throne event depicted at Rev 20:11-15
is past and a new cosmos and a new earth are brought on line.

The tears, the death, the mourning, the crying, and the pain are related to
the great white throne event depicted at Rev 20:11-15, which will be a
public spectacle. In other words, people will have to watch as friends, family,
associates, and loved ones are literally pale with terror, lips trembling,
mouths too dry to speak, shrieking, sobbing, screaming, weeping, yelping,
and bellowing like wounded dogs as their eyes dart about in sheer white
knuckled panic, desperately looking for someone, anyone, to help them as
powerful celestial beings drag them off to death akin to a foundry worker
falling into a kettle of molten iron.

Paul said the greatest of all gifts is love (1Cor 13:13). But let me tell you
something: Love is inconvenient. Sensitive folk cannot sit through a scene
like the one described above and not be moved by it. The effect will be so
overwhelming that nothing less than the power of God will suffice to get
them over it.


Pop Clock Update: 1,000 days have elapsed since beginning the thread. If the
figures in post #1 are within reason, then something like 58,581,000 new
arrivals have checked into the fiery sector of hades since December 10,
2014.
