Except the nature of the punishment meted out is spoken of in Matthew 13:41-42, Matthew 13:49-50...a "furnace of fire" where there will be "wailing and gnashing of teeth."...i.e. conscious eternal torment.

Notice that Jesus did not come in sinful flesh (as ours is) but in "the likeness of" sinful flesh.

By the power of the Holy Spirit. Eph 3:16, That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; Col 1:11, Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;

A specific verse was given that says the idea that was presented.

The story of the rich man and Lazarus is not a parable; but even if it is, I am interested in knowing what "I am in torments in this flame" represents; for in a parable everything in it is representative of a specific truth.

Again, there are those who will be relegated to everlasting punishment. Mat 25:46, And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal. The nature of this punishment is declared in the following verses: Mat 13:41, The Son of man shall send forth his...

I believe that men will be brought into everlasting punishment (Matthew 25:46) that is conscious torment in a "furnace of fire", causative of wailing and gnashing of teeth (Matthew 13:41-42, Matthew 13:49-50).

I consider that Romans 6:6 and Colossians 2:11 speak of a destruction of and then a putting away of the body of sin/ the body of the sins of the flesh. Romans 8:23 speaks of the redemption of the body, being defined as the adoption. This is said to be in past tense for the Galatians in...

I know that at two different times in my life I was struck on the face and turned the other cheek; and both times it had a remedial effect on the person who struck me. So I think that the only wisdom that you need concerning this behaviour is obedience. I did not do it in any special kind of...

There does not need to be a recorded instance of old men dreaming dreams for that to be a result of God's pouring out of His Spirit on all flesh. One verse (in the NT) is enough to tell us that when God pours out of His Spirit, old men shall dream dreams. That verse is Acts 2:17. It is...

Yes, you did. You said that if it doesn't accomplish the desired purpose, we ought not to obey the Lord by turning the other cheek. I would say that we ought to obey the Lord regardless of whether it accomplishes the result we want or not. And in saying this, I am not trying to look pious...

So, do you believe that the OT is invalid; that it is not inspired by God and profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness? And, even if you disregard the OT, the scripture in Acts is enough to tell us that old men dreaming dreams will be the result of...

Which does not mean that the believer ought not to turn the other cheek. We obey what the word of the Lord says whether it produces the desired results or not.

Act 2:16, But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; Act 2:17, And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream...

Rom 8:8, So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. Rom 8:9, But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. Rom 8:10, And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of...

I know that in Joel 2 and Acts 2 we have the passages that tell us that your old men shall dream dreams in the power of the Spirit. And in the Jeremiah passage, God encourages the prophet that has a dream to tell his dream. Nevertheless, this is in context of men telling dreams of which the...

It could go either way. Either they had dreams generated in the flesh; or they did not have dreams, but said that they did in order that their words might have more credibility with the people.

Jer 23:13, And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria; they prophesied in Baal, and caused my people Israel to err. Jer 23:14, I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none...

I am referring to those false prophets who ran even though the LORD didn't send them. Such would be claiming to see a vision; when in all reality they have seen nothing.

Or, simply, that He applies Leviticus 19:18 to our worst enemy.
