Destruction is their common end nothing more!

The only difference is evildoers will spend less than 100 years (in active life) if God's judgment has not come while rebellious angels will continue to roam about in fear not knowing when they will be exterminated! smiley
Do you have a biblical reference?

MaxInDHouse:
Jesus is the brain behind the Bible though he served as the mouthpiece of God Almighty in transmitting the message to imperfect humans, so every single word in the Bible is in Jesus' brains that's why he is fittingly called "the word of God" {John 1:1} he has been with God from the beginning {John 1:2} so he knew what God can and cannot do. Jesus knew his father can't stand the sight of excruciating pains for his creatures! Jeremiah 7:31, 19:5

As for the Devil and his cohorts (demons) they're the main subjects of everlasting torment because they have the ability to continue living since their own existence doesn't depend on destructible bodies like our own that's subjected to oldage, sickness and death. So while these creatures have been living right from the beginning till now, they're tormented each moment they remember that they've been disconnected from the source of their existence.
But that's just normal fear, what is tormenting them mostly now is when Jesus the first and foremost spirit creature they all knew as second in command to the Almighty was DEAD for three consecutive days! embarassed
There is no doubt that their destruction is possible! undecided
Again they were living as part of the heavenly family of God's Organization until Jesus and their one time brothers who are also angels like them evicted them from their abode, and immediately Jesus came to the earth resurrected all the born again Christians who were former humans (lesser beings) to replace them. This is another cause for torment!
Now to worsen their situation all the false religions they initiated failed woefully as faithful humans are leaving false religions and flocking into God's Organization which Jesus as a mighty spirit being began directing since 1914.

They're now desperate than ever that's why most religious groups on this planet today are complaining about prophecies from Jehovah's Witnesses, it's humans that are confused about pure worship, spirits know the one and only group practicing pure worship!
So when you hear critics bitterly complaining against Jehovah's Witnesses saying "in so so year they prophesy this or they prophesy that" know that it's not this people that are really disturbed about whatever Jehovah's Witnesses are saying rather it's those spirits they're unknowingly worshiping that are trying to figure out what next is going to happen to them, these wicked spirits knew perfectly that JWs are the only group getting divine direction {1Peter 1:12} but Jehovah is smarter than all his creation, even Jesus was never told the day or hour God will declare judgment {Matthew 24:36} WHY? Because Jesus' love for humans is great {Proverbs 8:31} and his father knew it, there's no way Jesus won't reveal it to his friends after seeing how much they loved to be with him! John 15:15

So think of how painful and tormented this one time beloved spirit creatures are feeling right now, seeing that they've been disconnected from God completely yet imperfect humans who are lesser beings are getting timely information from God! Matthew 24:45 embarassed
Sorry, how does this answer my question?

My question is, is it not true that there is a common end referred to when Matthew 25:41 indicates that both the evildoer and the devil will be thrown into a fiery place?

MaxInDHouse:
Jesus always speak in PARABLES so whoever wants to understand Jesus' utterances must first know what God said about judgment in the beginning.
God never told Adam you will continue to suffer after you're dead rather what God told the first and foremost sinner is a return to non-existence {Genesis 2:17, 3:19} so when people die they've paid the full amount of their error {Romans 6:7} immortality doesn't belong to the evildoers but righteous! Romans 6:23

So for anyone to grasp Jesus' utterances you must be conversant with what God had in mind from inception ~ prove yourself useful and live or prove to be worthless and return to dust.

There wasn't any other option in the beginning smiley
That sounds good. Indeed it is consistent with some other scriptures such as John 3:16.

However you have only addressed what you believe Jesus could not be saying. But what do you then believe He was actually saying?

Even if you say He was only speaking in a parable, the lesson was clear, being that the same fate awaits the evil doers as does the devil and his angels.

So what common fate is that?

Weeping and gnashing of teeth was what Jesus said about the Jewish religious critics antagonizing his ministry, he is telling them that all their mockery and antagonism will end in their graves when they're gone for good.
Eternal torment and brimstone would have no effect on dead beings so you can't find these two in the same sentence anywhere in the scriptures.
Eternal torment is when people remember the act leading to the destruction of rebellious ones it always ring a bell in our hearts.
Brimstone is what Israelites always add to the valley behind Jerusalem where they often throw all the things they don't want to remember (the valley is called GEHENNA) so Jesus is hereby telling them that God will forget them after their death just as they often do to things thrown into that valley!

Some translators interpreted Gehenna and Grave as Hellfire, this is where most unsuspected Bible readers find very difficult to grasp! smiley
The last line is not in dispute. But you have not supported your preceding statements with any evidence. For example:

Weeping and gnashing of teeth was what Jesus said about the Jewish religious critics antagonizing his ministry, he is telling them that all their mockery and antagonism will end in their graves when they're gone for good.


That does not seem consistent because Jesus said the weeping and gnashing would happen after the judgment. Weeping and gnashing of teeth was something Jesus said would happen to those who are cast into outer darkness.

The particular translation that leads to the use of the word hell may not be clear to us but what is clear is the consistency of a fiery place as a place of punishment.

For example, in Matt 25:41, Jesus clearly sys--int he parable of the goats and sheep, that there is a fiery place prepared for the devil and his cohort, and that wicked/evil people will be cast therein.

So maybe that is the lake of fire and not a hell, but contextually, there is consistency in that evil doers will suffer effer torment in a fiery place.

MaxInDHouse:
You must be talking about 1Peter 3:19 that was erroneously interpreted.
Jesus preached to the spirits IN PRISON not the spirits IN HELL Sir!
This simply means the wicked spirits that came down to make materialised bodies and had sex with female humans {Genesis 6:1-4 compare to 1Peter 3:20} this rebellious angels now know that they can be destroyed because Jesus who is also a mighty spirit was dead for three consecutive days. So it was his demise that sends a fearful message to them.
Thanks for your kind response. This seems to be the right interpretation.

I still have doubts. For instance specific references are made to the sorts of punishments that will be experienced by the unrighteous for example:

1. Weeping and gnashing of teeth
2. Eternal torment with brimstone

Completely dead beings cannot weep nor can they be in torment.

chatinent:
Aunty, the Bible says the wages of sin is death not hell fire.

Why did Adam and Eve the first sinners not go to hell fire?


Do you know Jesus went to hell?

I'm sure you don't know because your version of hell isn't what the Bible teaches. Your version of hell teaches a fiery torment while the Bible says otherwise.

You are free to package your church members, yourself, and your pastor for a bible study if you want to know the truth.

You are welcome.
But the Bible says Jesus preached to the spirits in hell...compared with your expiation that the dead have no senses, how could Jesus then have preached to them?

Yeah herpes is a moderate risk but only if the person is at that present moment experiencing a herpes simplex breakout in their oral area. The sores are usually visible.

Hepatitis is the real risk.

HIV transmission in this way is nearly impossible. HIV in blood mixed with saliva would be destroyed instantly because Saliva Co Tiana destructive enzymes. The blood would have to be copious and no one is going to use such bloodly saliva as lube.

Do not ask why the North always occupied the major position in Nigeria. the answer is at your finger tip.
Very funny.

These big brother so called stars are paid eye service by being appointed to irrelevant special advisor positions.

Those who get appointed to the real substantive positions are undisputed brains.

dominique:
For those asking where or who are the fans, here's your answer. The fans have several WhatsApp and telegram groups where they come together and contribute to their favourite housemates. Most of these fans are not even Nigerians or in Nigeria. Most of the people abusing the housemates and fans are hoping, praying, wishing to be in the show and have the kind of popularity and financial benefits that comes with it.
Are you in any of these groups?

Emirs reject no-fly zone order

Emirs in Zamfara said on Tuesday that the state was being unjustly treated as evident in declaring it a no-fly zone.

They spoke through their chairman and Emir of Anka, Alhaji Attahiru Muhammad Ahmad, while addressing the new service chiefs led by the Chief of Defence Staff, General Lucky Irabor, who were on an official visit to the state.

The emirs said Zamfara had no airport to warrant the declaration, insisting that there were states worst hit by armed banditry but that were not declared no-fly zones.


These northern elders are quite interesting. So you don't have an airport, yet you kick against a no-fly zone. Logically, if you have no airport how does a no-fl zone make any difference to you? Unless of course you know smethgin the rest of us don't.

Tokskob2008:
He has to refund you the balance before the quit notice can be effective, my landlord did exact same thing and we all ended up at the police station where he was told to refund my balance so the notice could be effective or re issue the quit notice when my rent is due. This is usually done by illiterate and greedy landlords, he gave me quit notice in July when my rent expiration was December last year this is March and I'm still there his only prayer now is for me to move out soon as he can't do anything.
He was correct and the police are not the proper authority to interpret the law in this regard. Notice can and should be given prior to expiration of rent provided the notice period does not expire before the expiration of the rent.

Politics › Re: Kawu: "We Brought In Fulani From Mali But After Election They Refused To Go Back by SmartyPants(m): 2:58pm On Mar 06, 2021
Charmingrascal:
Nothing but the truth.



When I was a little boy I used to go Fulani settlements with my Dad sometimes we boarded canoes to take us across big rivers just to get to them.
My Dad is an health worker and the Fulanis preferred his services so they were always calling him when there were sick people. (He did house service, my papa like money. Lol) and the Fulanis had money too, legitimate money made from selling their cows, grains and birds/chickens. Those days Fulani were nice people, I would always get maishan (very sweet butter/oil like stuff) and many other things, they were so nice and lovely people. As secluded as their settlements were we never got scared of going there, they stayed inside thick forest but we still felt safe with them
As a young boy I always said I would marry a Fulani lady because they were so beautiful, friendly and nice people.


I am talking about 14 to 15 years ago.

What went wrong? F*ck!


Modified: I think those killer Fulanis that started terrorising Nigerians are not Nigerian and Buhari's failure to decisively deal with them led to the escalation of their killings and that also encouraged some Nigerian Fulanis to join them.
Fulani groups that are suppose to condemn the killers were also being biased in their judgement, instead of fishing out the foreigners that are killing people among them, they decided to allow tribal sentiment overshadow their sense of reasoning.

If Miyetti Allah had chastised them instead of covering up for them things would not have escalated to this extent, also I will blame Buhari for not taking decisive action.


It is not too late Miyetti Allah should tell Nigerians among them not to join those foreigners in perpetrating crime, they should urge them to fish out the killers among them and the government should not be biased in handling this Fulani issue, Buhari or whoever is in charge of the affairs of the Nation should be decisive in dealing with these Intruders.
My experience is identical except that my dad was doing his health work on a missionary basis. Those days the entire family would travel long distances fron Oyo as far as Gombe, to spend a couple of days in Fulani villages.

They were usually quite hospitable and I remember that on one occasion, the chief gave us his quarters. They were really friendly, so its really strange how much this group has become indicted in violent crime. One can reasonably I get that it is not coincidental, and those at the top have some explaining to do.
