. Well; according to Isa 66:23-24 and Rev 20:11-15, the people depicted in Mark's scene are not alive. In point of fact they are quite deceased, and the fire-proof worms are dining upon their remains, i.e. their corpse. I suspect that many of us have been letting our imaginations run away with...

. ● Isa 66:23-24 . . And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith The Lord; and they shall go forth, and look upon the carcasses of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall...

. 462) Jas 4:8-10 . . Draw close to God, and God will draw close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, you hypocrites. Let there be tears for the wrong things you have done. . . Let there be sorrow and deep grief. Let there be sadness instead of laughter, and gloom instead...

. 461) Jas 4:7 . . So humble yourselves before God. Resist the Devil, and he will shun you. The Devil has the tactical advantage of being completely invisible, and no more solid than the vacuum of space. So the human eye not only can't see the Devil, but human touch can't feel him either. The...

. I can't help but envy God. He's above it all; safe and secure and never in any danger of war, natural disasters, disease, economic calamities, old age, and most especially perdition. But us? We're like insects, no, worse than that, we're as helpless, as fragile, and as vulnerable as...

. One of the men with whom I worked in a boatyard back in the decade of the 1970s said he wouldn't mind Hell all that much because he'll have lots of friends there, but I can't help but wonder if he'll be able to find any of them because Jesus said the majority has been ending up down there...

. There are quite a few things that are neither expressly forbidden, nor expressly condoned, for folks unified with Christ. Those kinds of things fall into the category of "debatable" viz: gray areas. The 14th chapter of Romans lists a number of guidelines useful for coping with your own...

. Here's a question that not even God can answer. ● Heb 2:1-3 . .We must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it. For if the word spoken through angels proved unalterable, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense, how shall we...

. 460) Jas 3:13-18 . .Who among you is wise and understanding? Let him show by his good behavior his deeds in the gentleness of wisdom. But if you have bitter rivalry and selfish ambition in your heart, do not be arrogant and so lie against the truth. This wisdom is not that which comes down...

. 459) Jas 3:1 . . Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you realize that we will be judged more strictly. I've no doubt there will be some very embarrassed Christians when the day arrives it's discovered they propagated heresy and didn't know it simply because they were...

. Re: Is Hell a place of torment? Possibly in more ways than one. For example my eldest brother served as a Catholic priest 53+ years before passing away as a Friar back in 2018; which has me a mite concerned about his current situation because there are no guarantees in the Catholic religion...

. ● Jude 14-15 . . And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, to execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all...

. 458) Jas 2:12 . . So speak and so act, as those who are to be judged by the law of liberty. The law of liberty is an honor system instead of the legal system imposed by the law of the covenant that Moses' people agreed upon with God per Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. That law is...

. @ Keiw Re: The lake of fire= the second death= eternal destruction. I believed in eternal conscious suffering for the better part of my 81+ years but lately have begun wondering if I haven't been mistaken. For example: Soul began appearing in the Bible in the book of Genesis by the Hebrew...

. I discovered an unfamiliar Christian forum recently that in all respects seemed to have excellent mission-field potential. But it didn't pan out because of its Orwellian management practices. In other words: the administrators were thought police who summarily removed posts that failed to...

. Heaven is sometimes depicted as a mountain with any number of roads around the base going up towards the top. Well; conventional Christianity accepts only one of those roads makes it; viz: the rest are dead ends, loops, terraces, circles, and cul-de-sacs, i.e. no outlets and nowhere to go...

. FAQ: Atheists have plenty of sensible reasons for rejecting Christianity and the Bible. What sensible reasons do you have for accepting those things? REPLY: None. FAQ: How it is that you trust Christianity and the Bible without a sensible reason for doing so? REPLY: My conscience insists...

. @ PinSeeker Quoting one's beliefs from the Bible does nothing to prove those beliefs are true. I mean, after all; Muslims can quote their beliefs from the Koran but that does nothing to prove their beliefs are true, and Hindus can quote their beliefs from the Vedas, but again that does...

. @ Big Boy Johnson Re: Their books are nothing but lies. Would it surprise you to discover they feel the same way about your book? Re: Real Christians walk by faith, not by sight Couldn't the same be said of real Muslims and real Hindus? _

. 457) Jas 2:1 . . My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ-- The Lord of glory --with respect of persons. The Greek word translated "respect of persons" basically means partiality. Webster’s defines "partiality" as partisan, prejudiced, biased, and/or granting one person more...
