Eternal Conscious Hell Fire is completely Justified

[Jude1:3Contendforthefaith]

Exodus 25:20
"The cherubim shall have their wings spread upward, covering the mercy seat with their wings and facing one another; the faces of the cherubim are to be turned toward the mercy seat.​

This is what the covering cherubim were. The holy mountain of God was/is mount Zion where the city of Jerusalem sits.
I have been doing this since Johnson was president. I doubt that anyone is going to catch me in any significant error.

Cherubs are actual Real Angels.

Maybe you should try to find a commentary from John Smith to see what his opinion about it was since he was the founder of the Baptists. (I grew up Baptist by the way)

I just quoted "The Word Of God" to you that Literally says to submit to your leaders and obey them.

But these are not my leaders!! And no one takes the place of God. There is no authority on the planet that supersedes the word of God! Where does it say if the authorities contradict the word of God that we are to submit to them? God first--always.

Eph_6:1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.

And who made you such? I'm 68, I can read very well on my own---have for years. You obviously believe what you were told to believe. I believe what the bible says.

Can you read the Bible in the original languages or do you rely on an English translation? Which one of the English translations do you favor?
There are more than 800 words in the KJV which have significantly changed in meaning or have dropped out of use altogether.
I learned to read when FDR was president and I formally studied both Biblical languages at the graduate level almost 4 decades ago.

I already said what my point was---Adam and Eve only had the word of God and He said they would die. You are the one that brought up Enoch and Judith and the Jews believing in everlasting hell---God did not tell Adam and Eve they would burn forever but that they would die.

God said to Adam and Eve "In the day you eat thereof dying you shall die." Or "You will certainly die." Did Adam and Eve actually, literally die the day they ate of the fruit?
Here is my point the Jews before, during and after the time of Jesus believed in a fiery place of unending torment. When Jesus taught about the fate of the wicked His teachings did not contradict but supported the teaching of the Jews. If there was no "eternal punishment" why did Jesus teach that, which supported the Jewish belief?

Exo 25:9 According to all that I shew thee, after the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make it.

Rev_11:19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.

The ark was the throne of God. The covering cherubs stood to block the glory of God from the angels.
As God came to the High priest between the cherubs on the ark, He sits on the real ark in heaven between real angels. [Staff edit].

Maybe, but the "covering cherubim" were golden representations on the top of the Ark.

Wrong! בְּיוֹם/beyom is the word יוֹם/day with the pronominal prefix בְּ/"in" which is what RMT says. "in~DAY (בְּיוֹם / bê'yom)" RMT does not say or imply that "b'yom" means eon or age.

And my point is--it doesn't matter what the Jews believed about hell---when God told Adam and Eve that they would die--that is what He meant. He did not say--you will burn in hell forever.
The day in Gen 1 is a night/day--the day in Gen 2 can be an eon.

Your point is wrong and irrelevant. The Hebrew words translated age or eon are עוֹלָם/olam and עַד/ad. "b'yom'" means "in(the)day" it never means eon or age. Your own source shows that.
The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence. That is a logical fallacy, "argument from absence." I guess Jesus was lying when He said "eternal punishment."
If you want an accurate translation try the Jewish Publication Society [JPS] translation. I think native Hebrew speaking Jewish scholars know more about what the Hebrew of the OT means than a computer.

[createdtoworship]

Yes, their SMOKE goes up forever. Smoke goes up and it just keeps going up. Doesn't say they are burning eternally.



That's right---and they are still not burning---that is the type of hell there will be--the fire does eventually go out.





Why would it would it be confusing---He will pay at the judgement day---he will burn. Just not forever.

I am getting lost---I need to go back I think I missed some things.

so why would God mention smoke going up forever. Just to say, hey your torment is over, but the smoke is rising forever. Makes no sense. There is nothing to be learned from that statement, and every verse is there for a reason, to increase our learning. If that verse does not increase our learning, then it's interpreted wrong.

 

[createdtoworship]

Augustine has not the authority to change the word of God. He voiced his opinion--I obviously do not share it. And actually, the sentence is the same---it is eternal life for the saved--it is eternal death to the wicked. Not eternal dying.

The bible doesn't say Satan is eternal. He and his angels will be thrown into the lake of fire and be destroyed. The beast and the false prophet are killed at the 2nd coming of Christ--see post #77.

but you still have not adressed this post, that I know of.

thank you for your time. This is probably my main verse on eternal hell.

Eternal Conscious Hell Fire is completely Justified

 

[2PhiloVoid]

Arguments from silence. "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."

Actually, upon a previous reading of your response, I'm not sure that I quite understood your meaning. Are you implying that my argument

Actually there are three passages of scripture which mention the unrepentant having some kind of conscious awareness after death. 2 OT 1 NT.
…..In Isa 14 there is a long passage about the king of Babylon dying, according to many the dead know nothing. They are supposedly annihilated, destroyed, pfft, gone! But God, Himself, speaking, these dead people in שאול/sheol, know something, they move, meet the dead coming to sheol, stir up, raise up, speak and say, etc.

Isa 14:9-11 (KJV)
9) Hell [שאול ] from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations.
10) All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us?
11) Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, [שאול] and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee.
. . .
22) For I will rise up against them, saith the LORD of hosts, and cut off from Babylon the name, and remnant, and son, and nephew, saith the LORD.​

In this passage God, himself is speaking, and I see a whole lot of shaking going on, moving, rising up, and speaking in . These dead people seem to know something, about something. We know that verses 11 through 14 describe actual historical events, the death of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon.
…..Some will argue that this passage is figurative because fir trees don’t literally rejoice, vs. 8. They will argue that the passage must be figurative since God told Israel “take up this proverb against the king of Babylon.” vs. 4. The occurrence of one figurative expression in a passage does not prove that anything else in the passage is figurative.
…..The Hebrew word םשל/mashal translated “proverb” does not necessarily mean something is fictional. For example, Israel did not become fictional when God made them a mashal/proverb in 2 Chronicles 7:20, Psalms 44:14, and Jeremiah 24:9.
…..The jews considered this passage to be factual.

Jewish Encyclopedia-Gehenna
“When Nebuchadnezzar descended into hell, all its inhabitants were afraid that he was coming to rule over them (Shab. 149a; comp. Isa. xiv. 9-10).”
GEHENNA - JewishEncyclopedia.com​

…..Here is another passage where God, Himself, is speaking and people who are dead in sheol, speaking, being ashamed, comforted, etc.

Ezek 32:18-22, 30-31 (KJV)
18) Son of man, [Ezekiel] wail for the multitude of Egypt, and cast them down, even her, and the daughters of the famous nations, unto the nether parts of the earth, with them that go down into the pit.
19) Whom dost thou pass in beauty? go down, and be thou laid with the uncircumcised.
20) They shall fall in the midst of them that are slain by the sword: she is delivered to the sword: draw her and all her multitudes.
21) The strong among the mighty shall speak to him out of the midst of hell [שאול] with them that help him: they are gone down, they lie uncircumcised, slain by the sword.
22) Asshur is there and all her company: his graves are about him: all of them slain, fallen by the sword::[ . . . ]
Eze 32:30-31
(30) There be the princes of the north, all of them, and all the Zidonians, which are gone down with the slain; with their terror they are ashamed of their might; and they lie uncircumcised with them that be slain by the sword, and bear their shame with them that go down to the pit.
(31) Pharaoh shall see them, and shall be comforted over all his multitude, even Pharaoh and all his army slain by the sword, saith the Lord GOD.​

Jesus speaking, in the NT a dead man in Hades had eyes, was in torment, saw Abraham, “cried and said,” asked for water, begged Abraham, etc.

Luk 16:22-28
(22) And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
(23) And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
(24) And 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.
(25) But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
(26) And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
(27) Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:
(28) For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.​

We can dismiss this as what I refer to as SPAM-Fig, i.e. symbolic, poetic, allegory, metaphor, figurative. But then we must ask ourselves if God would use something false to teach truth to His people?

​

SPAM wouldn't be 'false' if its communication is given through metaphor and poetic discourse to make a point through hyperbolic expression ... to gain attention.

 

[2PhiloVoid]

Sometimes, the language is hyperbolic to make a point of finality and to infer that we can't resist God. And this kind of thing is seen in the Bible in Isaiah 34:10.

 

[Der Alte]

Not sure what you are asking the last 6 words seems to be an incomplete sentence.

Hyperbole, metaphor, poetic etc. does not refer to or involve something that does not exist.
If wicked dead people in שׁאול/sheol do not move, speak, have emotions etc. What kind of Biblical truth does God teach referring to something that does not happen? If wicked dead people in ᾅδης/hades do not move, speak, have emotions etc. What kind of Biblical truth does Jesus teach referring to something that does not happen?
....All of the ECF, who were native Greek speaking, who referred to Lazarus/rich man considered it to be factual not a parable.
.....All of the unquestioned parables do not refer to fictional situations, events etc. All of the unquestioned parables refer to events/situations which can and do occur. Sometime in history a shepherd lost sheep, a widow lost money, a son squandered his father's money etc. If Abraham was not in the place Jesus said and did not say the words that Jesus attributed to him, then Jesus was a liar.

 

[2PhiloVoid]

Not sure what you are asking the last 6 words seems to be an incomplete sentence.

Yes, it seems to have gotten cut off. I'll reiterate it, then. What I meant to ask was whether or not you were implying that my argument was an argument from silence. If so, I'd humbly present to you that my argument isn't one from silence, but (like yours), one that comes by way of assessing multiple contexts BOTH inside and outside of the Bible.

However, while I'm open to hearing your response, please know that in light of the OP, I don't think we'll disagree that what God does in judgement is always just. So, even though I have a more limited concept of Hades, I agree that the Lord is Lord and just over all that He decides.

Hyperbole, metaphor, poetic etc. does not refer to or involve something that does not exist.

....All of the ECF, who were native Greek speaking, who referred to Lazarus/rich man considered it to be factual not a parable.

....honestly, I think the problem here is that there's too many various concepts at play in the Bible, none of which are expressly spelled out for us, and we're all having to make contextualized 'heads-or-tails' out of these partly Jewish, partly Grecian concepts. In the end, eschatologically, I agree with gradyll and the rest who assert that God is Just in how He appoints destruction or even (**sigh**) eternal flame.

CONCLUSION The syntagmatic relationships of yôm in Genesis 1 have been considered and it has been demonstrated that, when used with a number,
the pattern is always a normal time period. If „night‟ is combined
with yôm, it always denotes a 24-hour day. If yôm is used with either
„morning‟ or „evening‟, they too refer to a literal day. When „morning‟ and „evening‟ are used together, with yôm, it always
signifies a solar day. So the syntagmatic relationships that yôm has illustrate clearly that the meaning is one axial rotation of the
earth, called a „day‟.
The various words that could have been substituted for yôm have been considered by the paradigmatics. God could not have communicated the timing of creation more clearly than He did in Genesis 1. The only
meaning which is possible is that the „days‟ of creation were
24 hour days.

Semantic Analysis of the Hebrew word "YOM" in the Pentateuch


Your point is irrelevant as a day to God is as a 1000 years---and Adam died before the 1000 years ended. Either way. The word Yom as used in Genesis 1 means 24 hours, the word in Genesis 2 is another word entirely and spelled differently---you can say it means whatever you want it to---scholars of the language say differently.

It is a manner of speaking. And yes---after a fire is out, the smoke does ascend into the heavens, even a match does that. Every verse does need to be put together---every verse includes all those also of the OT affirming that death is the end of life not eternals living in torment.

You have not quoted any scholars or any source, of any kind, which supports your argument that any occurrence of day Gen 2 means 1000 years. That is heterodox scripture twisting to make scripture fit their assumptions/presuppositions.
The word in Genesis 2 is not, as I have shown, a completely different word. It is the same word for day, i.e. yom, with a pronominal prefix which means "in." The definite article "ha" in Hebrew is not used because "b'yom" refers to a specific day and is definite without the article.

You are right--I supported the 24 hour one ---however, when my computer broke and I had to get a new one last week, I lost all my saved documents and I have not been able to replace them yet. I lost a ton of stuff. I had the article about it. And I have posted it on here a few times. I think I can retrieve it if I buckle down and research some old posts. As I said---it is obvious that there are 2 different words used in the 2 Genesis. And there can be no denying that it says that to God a 1000 years is as a day and that has been used for prophetic times also. That is not twisting. I did not say the word beyom means a 1000 years--it can mean a long period of time whereas yom in Gen 1 is strictly 24 hours.
