PhenomenalMorgan:sorry i think youre quite off. Kindly take a look at the topic of discussion again. |

PhenomenalMorgan:Yes sir. This is what God has done. He separates Sinners from Himself, but there's no other place for the souls of the dead sinners to stay but in hell. If you are taken away from where the Warmed and the Light of the sun will reach you, where do you think you'll be? Is there a place between warmth and cold? You are either here or there. Hmm. Accept the Life Christ is offering now o. When you stand before Him, you won't have the chance to debate. |

PhenomenalMorgan:bro you are trying to mark hell look like a soft place The bible severallly refer to it as a fiery place with blazing fire. Thats what it is. Not just a place where good things from God is absent |
Re: How Is Eternity In Hell A Fair Punishment For Sin? by henrixx(m): 9:42pm On Nov 25, 2018 |
Anas09:ofcos its not in the bible, was only referring to someone who posted using the scenario Youve displayed reasonable knowledge here bro. Can you help me on my question posed in the original post |

henrixx:hell is not only a place where "good things from God is absent" its a place where the OPPOSITE of those things are present, so instead of joy from God there is miserable pain instead of comfort there is torment, again thats what u get when u choose to stay away from God in Your lifetime!! |

LordReed:That is why he forgives all sin no matter how gruesome it is. Anas09,I think you misinterpreted what i meant. If a christian of twenty years dies in one sin... He is going to hell if he doesn't ask for forgiveness. . For it to have been termed as sin,God must have judged your intentions and found you wanting. Even your conscience would tell on you but God is merciful. |

henrixx:@henrixx, i have answered this Op nah. I said what takes this 30yr guy to hellfire is not the sins he committed as a human being, but his 'Dead Underlying Reality". Spiritually we humans are born dead, as we inherit the Adamic Nature of Sin. The sole reason Jesus came is to give us Spiritual life with which we can enter heaven with. But if that 30yrs old friend of urs, dies without accepting that Life, he'll be locked out, and outside of heaven is hell. God is very fair, in that, irrespective of our rebellion, he didn't just leave us to find our way, He came to help us. Why not just accepting?. It really cost nothing but a lot of peace, joy and eternal life with him. |

henrixx:Ermm, Henrixx, you know Spirits are destroyed only by burning them with fire. Do you watch Game of Thrones? It's not a godly movie, at least not Christian. But it shows how spirits are destroyed which is inline with the Bible. The 'Undead' are destroyed only by fire, Why? because only fire kills the dead spirits. Hell was created for satan and demons because they are spirits, the Undead. Now, if man walks according to the ways of satan, he literary has chosen the fire of Hell. There's no reason, to bring fairness into it. The fairness is the provision of Redemption. And again, Hellfire is in Compartments. Trust me, if this your 30yr old guy dies with just Adamic Nature, yes he will go to hell, but he won't be close to Where Alister Crowley or Anton LAvey or Adolf Hitler and his gang of satanic atheists are. Those who believed in God, but were careless to bear fruits cannot be in the community of angry devilish atheists who deny God because they love sin and fight Christians for being godly. Sir, Heaven is like the world with sooo many communities and so is Hell. We go to the community of people who lived like we did. |

sonmvayina:Goggle Emmanuel Swedenborg and everything about him. For close to 30yrs, this man lived an alternate lives. He was on earth and in the World of Spirits (Where the dead first goes before either proceeding to heaven or hell) at the same time, Seeing, hearing asking questions and writing what he saw and heard. Interestingly, he was a Pure Scientist. Read everything about him. Believing what you read will be left to you. You can Goggle and read 'Heaven and Hell', by Emmanuel Swedenborg. 1 Like |

Anas09: It culminated in a 'spiritual awakening' in which he received a revelation that he was appointed by the Lord Jesus Christ to write The Heavenly Doctrine to reform Christianity.[6] According to The Heavenly Doctrine, the Lord had opened Swedenborg's spiritual eyes so that from then on, he could freely visit heaven and hell to converse with angels, demons and other spirits and the Last Judgment had already occurred the year before, in 1757.[7] So what happened to all these things Jesus revealed to this guy? If you had not mentioned him I properly would never have heard of him and I have never heard him mentioned in Christian circles. Whatever he wrote must have not had any lasting impact. Point being if this is revelation from god why does it not have any impact? |

The main problem with understanding Eternal Condemnation is that the meaning of sin is not commonly taught even in churches. Sin is rebellion against God. In other words, sin is cosmic treason. What that means is that even a little white lie is a deliberate effort to dethrone God and even kill Him if one could manage it. No human government on earth or in history (at least, none that I know of, and if there is any which is different, they would be very weird indeed) punishes treason with anything less than summary execution. Treason compromises the security of a nation and the government that rules it. So every ruler is extremely aggressive toward it. Therefore, Eternal Death is just for everyone who rebels against God. Now, it may be argued that human governments kill you for treason and that is that so why doesn't God kill you and that would be that? The answer there is that human governments and nations die just like traitors. But God is eternal. Rebellion against God then is not an effort to kill God (although the attack on the Lord Jesus Christ to kill Him is obvious proof that if the rebellious angels and men could, they would definitely kill God and take over His Creation) but one invariably to rob Him of all that He takes pleasure in and isolate Him if possible. It is actually impossible to properly define what treason against an eternal God really is because God Himself is impossible to fully define. But it is obvious that such treason is an eternal offense, not a temporal one. So the idea that the lie took a second to tell misses the point. The lie was an attack on God's Eternal Sovereignty over Creation and it is therefore an eternal offense. For this reason at least, eternity in the Lake of Fire is just punishment for anyone who sins against God. However, not one human being will be in the Lake of Fire because they sinned. By that I do not mean that it is not because of sin that the Lake of Fire exists. It very much is. But every sin ever committed by human beings or which is being committed this very moment or will be has been completely paid for by the Sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ when He gave Himself up to a spiritual Death that we simply cannot fully understand on the Cross of Calvary. Because every sin has been paid for, all human beings are automatically saved until they reject the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ or refuse to accept it when they are told of it. So, being born in sin does not condemn anyone to the Lake of Fire. Those who will be in the Lake of Fire, therefore, will be there because they rejected God's Offer of Reconciliation through Jesus Christ completely. As to what the Lake of Fire is, it is a literal Lake of Fire full of Darkness and Misery and Pain and Regret. It is truly an absence of all of God's Blessings. But even more than that, it is the Presence of all His Curses. And it is a just punishment against rebellion against Him. As long as anyone persists in rebellion, that is where they are sure to go and God will be completely justified in sending them there for all Eternity. |

Ihedinobi3: O Christians! Let us rejoice! As their tortures shall be neverending on the Lake of Fire so shall be our joy in infinite obedience. Praise Him. It is well!
