But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea. If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having two hands, to go to hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched — where
‘Their worm does not die
And the fire is not quenched.’
And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame, rather than having two feet, to be cast into hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched — where
‘Their worm does not die
And the fire is not quenched.’
And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire — where
‘Their worm does not die
And the fire is not quenched.’
(Mark 9:42-48)
how long does it take to burn up a soul?
20 minutes?
an hour?
a year?
a million years?
so why is this fire never quenched if these souls don't even exist anymore after a half an hour?
how do these worms consume these souls forever if the souls don't even exist after a week?
is Jesus ignorant? was Isaiah, whom He quotes, speaking nonsense?
or are existence & life/death separate issues?
