ikbnice:
1. Is hell created before or after Adam?

There is no hell in existence now . The Hell I mean is the one that would burn eternally
Matthew 25:41
"Then He will also say to those on the left hand, 'Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels:

And Judgement has not taken place . All dead are in sheol -realm of the dead - awaiting judgement

2. Is paradise the same as the Garden of Eden where Adam first lived?

Heaven is here on earth . There are two types of Heavens . God's abode and here on earth where Christ will reign eternally . The new earth is the “heaven” on which we will spend eternity. It is the new earth where the New Jerusalem, the heavenly city, will be located. It is on the new earth that the pearly gates and streets of gold will be.


Revelation chapters 21-22 gives us a detailed picture of the new heavens and the new earth .Heaven—the new earth—is a physical place where we will dwell with glorified physical bodies (1 Corinthians 15:35-58). The concept that heaven is “in the clouds” is unbiblical. The concept that we will be “spirits floating around in heaven” is also unbiblical. The heaven that believers will experience will be a new and perfect planet on which we will dwell. The new earth will be free from sin, evil, sickness, suffering, and death. It will likely be similar to our current earth, or perhaps even a re-creation of our current earth, but without the curse of sin.

3. Who was the Eden whom the garden was named after?

Eden means "fruitful, well-watered." Its not named after anyone

What is the difference between the body and the soul? - "don't be afraid of he that can kill the body but can't kill the soul"

Soul is comprised of your physical and immaterial self - the spirit .

i.e

Soul = Body + Spirit

[size=15pt]Most times soul and spirits are used interchangeably though , so in that verse it is referring to your spirit. [/size]

Obviously anyone can kill the body , but your spirit cannot be killed by physical means . Only God can destroy the spirit

I remember two of the monikers you put up here saying Christians have died and went to hell and back, basically they're all lying? Then why post their stories

Can't remember the moniker correctly

Are children and some unenlightened non-christains going to be thrown to hell?
Why? or Why not? with scriptural references.

Thanks.

Children are not held accountable by God for their sins until they reach a certain age . Well most acceptable age for accountability is 13 . So children will not go to Hell . God is a wise and just being , so he can determine if you are actually aware of the wrongs the committed or the gravity of their offence .

There is no bible verse that really addressed this though .

Non Christians who did not get to know God will be judged according to their works . Jesus never said that those who do not believe in him will go to hell .

Romans 2:6-11
6 who will render to every man according to his deeds: 7 to them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life: 8 but unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, 9 tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile; 10 but glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: 11 for there is no respect of persons with God.

It does not say if you don't believe in me , hellfire for you .


Matthew 7:21
"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven."

Another verse that clearly says "but the one who does the will of my Father" . You will be judged according to your works and if you never knew Christ your judgement will ascertain if you are indeed in line or an errant .

John 3:19-21
And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed. But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God.

People from other religions can go to heaven if they never got to know Christ but only God's judgement determines if that its so . Their lives would undergo so much scrutiny

Why has Jesus not come? For every second He tarries, more people are being born who are being condemned to hell. It is clear that His delay is increasing the population of hell. The Universe was created in six days, how long can it possibly take to build a few mansions?

Soul has many meanings depending on context. But the man is made up of spirit, soul and body. These are like man's own trinity as it were. Like is usually said, man is essentially a spirit, that spirit has a soul, and it lives in a body. Your body is what you can see. Your soul is basically your mind.

He has not come because he wants you to repent, why else? The Universe was not created in six days, the Bible does not say that. The delay is not due to the price of Dangote cement if that is what you are implying.

Freewill is ability to make independent decisions as against instinctive decisions. It separates us from animals. God gave us that to make us different from the animals, plants and non-living things.

This makes absolutely no sense. His delay is clearly making more people go to hell as thousands of children are born daily worldwide and you and I know that a very large majority of these will live and die without being Christians talk more of becoming born again Christians.
