Revelation 20:10 depicts hell in the following manner (NKJV, emphasis mine):
The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
Also, while it doesn't directly say the...
Hell has been a contention throughout Church History. The reformers and Martin Luther had a significant influence by questioning the status quo and long-held dogmas. Many are doing the same today, across all denominational lines. For those who are searching, or who are re-thinking hell you are...
Jesus and the Bible says that Hell is a real literal place in the heart of the Earth, (Matthew 12:40, Ephesians 4:9, Isaiah 14:9) eternal torment (torture) worm dieth not (Mark 9:44), facing the full wrath of God it isn’t separation (Revelation 14:10). It is a place created by God (Colossians...

Hi, would love to hear some feedback (both pro and con) on this discussion about Christian Transhumanism, Hyper Calvinism, Simulation Theory, Quantum Archaeology, Hell and the Lake of Fire. I also make a case for a literal interpretation of the Bible and the Calvinist worldview.

In this post we'll explore the state of the dead. I'll provide fourteen examples that show that death is synonymous with sleep, and that the dead know nothing, nor are they participants in any thing until the resurrection.
1. Lazarus dies and is called "asleep" by Jesus, even though he is...

He is a perfected deceiver.
He is the "father of lies", and is the trainer of religious pretense, that sounds legit, because it speaks advanced "christianese".

Finding perfected discipleship is to...
