But the 'eternal fire' is presented as totally literal in the NT. And that doesn't prove otherwise.

My point wasn't to prove if eternal fire was literal or not, but simply to show that your argument for a literal fire didn't work. You do need to distinguish between something actually being presented as literal and the tendency of literalists to assume it is.But the 'eternal fire' is presented as totally literal in the NT.

I suggest you consider that those who deny the 'eternal fire' are those who will be in the 'eternal fire'.My point wasn't to prove if eternal fire was literal or not, but simply to show that your argument for a literal fire didn't work.

How? LOL!!!Really? How does one 'literally' set a spirit on fire? Perhaps I'm using the wrong accelerant?
How? LOL!!!
You are GREATLY confused. Seek God for your salvation for the 'eternal HELL fire'.Yes, 'how?' Fire is a physical, chemical reaction. So how can you 'literally' set fire to a non-physical being?
Unless by 'literally' you meant 'figuratively'.

Those who deny Hell fire are doomed to dwell therein forever. Where does that leave you?So you don't know? Or you don't take it literally?

You don't even know the questions you require. Try again. If you choose "perdition" then dont blame others. for YOUR eternal Hell fire.It leaves me asking you questions that you refuse to answer. If you don't know, then just say so. No need to cast me into perdition over it.

Hell fire is 'eternal fire'. Fire in this life is horrible. It is a warning of how awful the 'eternal fire' will be. How is it literal fire? The NT gives examples and warnings of the 'eternal fire'. That's all I need to know about it.You are the one who claimed that a 'literal' understanding of hell fire is important, then when I ask you to explain how hell fire is literally fire, you tell me I'm asking the wrong questions...
Never said otherwise. But Jesus warned us of the fire awaiting the wicked. And so, we are to warn also.We are saved by faith in Christ, not faith in hell.

Sounds to me like you are saying a condition for avoiding hell, a condition for salvation, is believing in literal hell fire.Those who deny Hell fire are doomed to dwell therein forever. Where does that leave you?
Jesus certainly does call us to repentance, and to tell others too, but you need to realise people can repent put their faith in Jesus even if they don't interpret every scripture the way you do.But Jesus warned us of the fire awaiting the wicked. And so, we are to warn also.
Nope. Salvation is by believing and serving Jesus/God. Not by believing in Hell.Sounds to me like you are saying a condition for avoiding hell, a condition for salvation, is believing in literal hell fire.
You misunderstood. There is a difference in not believing in Hell and vehemently denying Hell.Jesus certainly does call us to repentance, and to tell others too, but you need to realise people can repent put their faith in Jesus even if they don't interpret every scripture the way you do.
You mean it is vehemently disagreeing with you that consigns people to hell?Nope. Salvation is by believing and serving Jesus/God. Not by believing in Hell.
