The name valley of Hinnom does not occur in the Targum Isaiah 66:24 which I happen to have.
Targum Isaiah 66:24 And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men, the sinners, who have rebelled against my Word : for their souls shall not die, and their fire shall not be quenched; and the wicked shall be judged in hell, till the righteous shall say concerning them, we have seen enough.
Get what?I don't get it
Indeed, because no one is cast off by the Lord forever (Lamentations 3:31)This says nothing about the door being shut after people die. On the contrary, Rev. 21 says the gates to the city of God are NEVER shut.
No, but it is the edge of Reality. The form of the Universe acts on the objects inside it: the Dark Matter effect mine unpublished (help to publish!) explanation. Use the simple definition: all what exists comes from the Existence (the God). Evil had no origin in God. The false atheism has no origin in God. It is like in the film:So if the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, what is that? A figment of our imagination?
Exegesis, the method of translating any ancient text, will help your understanding. Followed by systematic theology which seeks to look at scriptures from a topical viewpoint.It's amazing to me how many people here on this Christian forum that state -- that the whole world will be saved.

Why can't God get what he wants without violating free will postmortem?Exegesis, the method of translating any ancient text, will help your understanding. Followed by systematic theology which seeks to look at scriptures from a topical viewpoint.
Jesus does come to save all who seek him. He doesn't want any to perish. But remember that God created a world filled wi free creatures. In any such world he can't prevent them from freely rejecting a relationship. So the whole world isn't saved. But that doesn't say anything about God's intent for sending Jesus. God just doesn't get what he wants
Let me quote from False atheism is not the Atheism (Ходящий По Лжи) / Проза.руThe scientific support isn't enough? To be in war against God is to be in war against own Father. It is denial of own Existence.

I have questions for you.
Would you agree that part of receiving salvation is accepting that one is a sinner and must repent? Is repenting a 'work' that one does? Does God do the repenting for the sinner?
I agree. It is part of the believing and is not a work anymore than believing is a work.No, I would argue that genuine repentance is a fruit of saving faith. You do not do any works to earn salvation, salvation is given. Works are a hallmark, a fruit, of being saved.
Believing/faith is not a work.If you make works the framework of your salvation then not only does it make man his own savior, it allows you to claim to be better than those outside the church, to boast.
God says that some men won't choose Him because they prefer their life just as it is. Some people look at the ugly things in the world and say to themselves, if there is a God, He is not a good God, so they have hardened their hearts towards Him.After all, they're as equally capable of choosing to accept Christ as you, but they don't. What then, is the difference between you and them if God does not interfere with their free will? It must be because you're smarter or wiser or otherwise better than them in some way, right? How else do you explain why some choose and some don't?
So you are saying that in God's infinite wisdom, infinite resourcefulness, and infinite love, God can't somehow woo, persuade, and lovingly convince millions and millions and millions of humans to come to the light...even postmortem with endless opportunities and time that stretches out into eternity? That even this great God of ours is unable to redeem and restore some humans, not some… Millions and millions and millions… God is unable to heal millions of broken sinners? That's a very weak God.Because not all men will come to THE LIGHT.
You are not even finishing the verse… It says that he turned all over to disobedience so that he may show mercy to all.GOD turned the whole world over to disobedience so as to be just when HE judges and the justifier of all whose faith is in CHRIST
No one will be able to open their mouth before GOD
No one will be justified by the LAW
And no flesh will be able to boast before HIM

Evidently, God can't have the same influence post-mortem that a mere human, Adam, had before any of us even existed.Why can't God get what he wants without violating free will postmortem?
I guess not. The power to influence humanity to such a thorough degree belongs to Adam alone.So you are saying that in God's infinite wisdom, infinite resourcefulness, and infinite love, God can't somehow woo, persuade, and lovingly convince millions and millions and millions of humans to come to the light...even postmortem with endless opportunities and time that stretches out into eternity?
