Why would Jesus warn us several times of the EVERLASTING Fire? He doesn't make up horror stories.
Pay attention…
Matt. 25:
[41] Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into
everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
It is the Fire that is Everlasting.
That Fire…was prepared FOR (Alive Spirits… expressly Alive Spirits AGANST God…
AKA the devil and “his” angels.)
Luke 16:
22 The rich man died and was buried.
23 And being in torments in Hell, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
24 Then he cried and said, 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
The Rich mans body and natural spirit (ie. Truth (unbelief) in his heart DIED.
The Rich mans departed ALIVE (unsaved) SOUL, was and IS experiencing
the torments of hell.
Regarding Humans:
The Torments of Hell…is a WHAT a departed Alive unsave-ED Soul experiences.
A Living SOUL (IN a mans Living Body) IS the “catalyst”… that activates the Mans BODYS “Communicative Senses to Function”…
A Living Soul IN an Alive Body Born Body:
* Eyes……….See
* Ears……....Hear
* Nose………Smells
* Tongue…..Tastes
* Mouth…….utters Sounds
* Flesh………Feels Touch
* Emotions..Feel Expressions
You are an Alive Born Body…
You HAVE an Alive Soul IN Your Body…
You EXPERIENCE “Communicative” Senses.
WHEN a mans BODY dies…
The Living SOUL “departs out of” the DEAD BODY.
The “Living SOUL” continues Living, AND experiencing “Communicative Senses”.
* departed SAVED SOULS… experience calm, beauty, peace, joy, With God, IN Heaven.
* departed UN-sav-ED SOULS…experience “extreme”: heat, thirst, smelling only stench, utters screams, crying, and hearing screams of agony, darkness (with only flames of light), nothing of beauty to see…
With-OUT God.
This IS Hell.
(THIS IS NOT the Lake of Fire)
This Hell IS TEMPORARY
The (mans) LIFE in These UN-Saved SOULS…
IS Temporary
The Rich man??? His Body Dead, for some
2,000 + Years. His Living Departed (unsaved) Soul has BEEN experiencing Hell for some 2,000 + years. (along With All Other UN-SAVED Souls… from the Beginning of the creation of Man-KIND.)
Judgement DAY…(of the UN-Saved Souls) Terminates… THIS Temporary Hell.
The UN- Saved Souls LIFE (Gods Breath), returns TO God.
Regarding Mankind;
That lifeless Soul,
That lifeless Body,
That lifeless natural (hearts truth) Spirit…
Is thrown INTO the Lake of Fire.
The “Temporary” Hell is “swallowed up”…(exists no more)…IN Gods Victory over Death.
The deeper Pit, ie. Lake of Eternal burning Fire…WILL receive…
* The Devil (who IS a spirit that can not die)
* The devils angels (also spirits that can not die)
* The false Prophet ( also a spirit / having masqueraded “AS” a human man on Earth.
(remembering All angels “are” spirits AND have the power to Appear in Bodys in the Likeness “AS” human men).
* The Lifeless Bodys, souls, natural spirits of humans.
A vessel (body, soul, spirit) of man…withOUT
Life IN that vessel….
Can NOT, Does NOT…see, hear, smell. taste, utter sounds, feel, know ANYTHING.
Human men for Centuries have been born and died….and the cycle continues.
A plethora of human men
* Have Heard then Rejected Belief IN God…
* Have Bodily Lived as they pleased…
* Have Heard and Learned and Seen, dead Bodys … “suffering” Nothing.
* Have openly Declared…non- Belief, no big deal when their body Dies…They will experience nothingness.
* ARE utterly Ignorant their living soul departs their dead body and “continues” living…”experiencing”…horrendous, unbearable torments. Separated from God…
With no option left to “forever be with Him”, in calm, comfort, beauty, peace, joy.
Their … departed unsaved living soul could “experience” a day or centuries… of the Torments IN Hell…without (another as they had while a living Body) a Saving Option Offering from God.
Glory to God,
Taken
