Can unrepentant believers go to hell/gehenna?You may say what you like as much as you like. Repetition of a thing doesn't make it true, however.
Christ is the Saviour but not of all mankind, only of those who believe. This the Bible makes crystal clear. See my last post.
The 1st 19 chapters of Revelation clearly shows it concerns the 1st century Jews and Jerusalem.
The letters to the 7 Assemblies are to believers.
Evidently false Jews have shown up in some of them, perhaps denoting the 1st century Judean Rulers.
Mark 1:15
And saying, "Has been filled the Time, and has-neared the Kingdom of the GOD.
Be ye reforming/repenting/metanoeite <3340> (5720)!, and be ye believing! in the Good-Message.
Nothing about Gentile non-Jews in these verses:
John 10:33
The Judeans answered Him, the Judeans saying,
"About a good work not we are stoning Thee, but about blasphemy<988>, and that Thou, being a man, are making thyself a god".
[Romans 2:23/Revelation 16:11,21]
Paul never used the word "gehenna" in his Epistles:
Matthew 23: 33 "Serpents! brood of vipers! how? ye may be fleeing from the judging<2920> of the Gehenna<1067>
Romans 2:23
Who in law are boasting through the transgression of the Law, the God thou are dishonoring
24 'For the name of the God is being blasphemed in the Nations because of ye' according as it has been written.'
[Psalm 74:10]
Revelation 2:5
Be thou remembering then!, whence/which-place thou hast fallen and reform/repent/metanohson <3340> (5657) thou! And the first works, thou do !
If yet no, I am coming to thee quickly, and shall be removing the Lamp-stand of thee out of the Place of her, if ever no thou should be reforming/repenting/metanohshV <3340> (5661)".
No mention of Gentiles here. I submit that these are 1st century pre 70ad Jews being spoken of.
Rev 2:9
I know your afflictions and your poverty—yet you are rich! I know about the slander of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.
Rev 3:9
I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews though they are not, but are liars—I will make them come and fall down at your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you.
Revelation 16:11
And they blaspheme the GOD of the heaven out of the miseries of them, and out of the sores of them.
And not they repent/reform/metenohsan <3340> (5656) out of their works.
