Re: What is hell like?

I can't see any biblical evidence for animals having the possibility of eternal life through Christ. I don't know if animals would have eternal life through Christ but according to the last verse of Rev 4, God created all things for his pleasure which would include animals. In Rev 21 there will be ...

Re: What is hell like?

According to 1Cor 15:44, there is a natural body and a spiritual body. I believe the soul is the intellect or mind of the spiritual body. I would disagree that spirits are eternal because I believe that only those who believed in Christ are resurrected with an immortal soul in the first resurrectio...

Re: What is hell like?

I believe Jesus went to Hades after his crucifixion, not hell. Perhaps it's just semantics. Either way, Bro, the lake of fire is everlasting, and it'll be no holiday camp! So, what you are saying, is that there is no Chelsea Football Club in the lake of fire? :shakehead: Coming to Chelsea in the 80...

Re: Husband doesn't share my religion

He is just so negative towards the church in general. I keep telling him how welcoming and friendly my church is, how right it feels to me and all he can say is "Well they haven't got you in their clutches yet, just wait and they'll start to try and control everything in your life." That ...

Re: Does 666 Spell Rockefeller?

The word "antichrist" is not used in Revelation. 666 is a number which somehow identifies the "beast". Apparently, counting or calculation is involved. I contend that Hebrew is the accepted biblical language, the language of Jesus. Though Jesus spoke Aramaic and the new testamen...

Re: What is hell like?

Yes, Lol Rick. I'm not a seventh day Adventist but the scriptures that were included and quoted in my opinion, point to annihilation of the soul rather than eternal torment. I don't see it as annihilation. So, I guess we respectfully disagree on that. Rev 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from...

Re: What is hell like?

Matthew 10:28 Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.

This, I take to mean the second death.

Re: What is hell like?

Revelation 20:14-15 Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. 15 If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire. Isn't Hades where death resides until the second death? That's my understanding as we...

Re: What is hell like?

but is eternal in the sense that it has no end. If Hell doesn't have an end, why then is it cast into the lake of fire? Rev 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. I think hell is the lake of fire. Hades is not Hell. Sheol (Hebrew) and Hades (Greek) are t...
