That statement in bold regards the TRUTH of Christ and the witnessing of Christ to men in this lifeLuk 16:31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
Not that they do. This was not a dissertation on the state of the dead it was to the Pharisees for their covetousness and unbelief.
Luk 16:14 And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him
at some point the dead flesh should cease given that a worm needs some sort of host to feed off of.We take our character--which has been transformed to that of Jesus. Why would you want anyone to burn forever? What if that is someone you love? I have a brother that died a drug addict, died shooting up. Highly unlikely he died saved. I loved him. I know he did evil in this life--he will face God and have to pay for all his sins---but the thought of him burning forever would kill me. He deserves to pay for what he did---but really---forever? He suffered in this life also. And what about the Jews? They burned already, now they have to burn forever again for not accepting Jesus? At least with Hitler, there was an end to their torment---with your God---there is no end. That is not the God of the bible. He is justice. That demands a payment for what we do--burning forever is not justice--it is not the character of God.
The worm does not indicate anything but a worm. It is their worm because it is devouring their carcass---however, worms eat dead flesh, not living flesh. And still---no one has given a verse that states the wicked are given eternal life.
Yet “their worm” never dies
