Grace ???

[tomwebster]

Do you know what the valley of Hinnom was?

This is not a literal discussion here, you should read the whole account and study it. Does your fleshly body enter the kingdom of heaven? He also mentions being cast into the sea with a millstone around the neck, so does this mean hell is full of water and a place of eternal drowning? Hope you see the ludicrousness of your argument.

What does all this have to do with the OP? We are not talking about your opinion of hell, start your own post for that, we are talking about GRACE. It is the mystery Paul talks about that was not known before Christ's death and resurrection. The word "grace" as used in the OT gas a different meaning.

Rom 16:25 Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,

1Co 2:7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:

Eph 3:9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:

The mystery of Grace, Paul talks about here, is this church age when "Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus." That was not true throughout the Gospels and it is not true when the Day of the Lord begins, just before and during the millennium.
