Mark 9:43 If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It's better to enter eternal life with only one hand than to go into the unquenchable fires of hell with two hands

You are not rightly dividing the word. The gift of God is eternal life thru Jesus Christ. The wages of sin is death. How is it you claim the wages of sin is eternal life in some flames.


It is not the fire that is eternal,, it is the consequences of that fire. Malachi says the wicked will be "stubble". Doesn't "stubble" define something left after a fire? Malachi 4:1 mentions an "oven", "stubble", then goes on to say that the day that is coming "shall burn them up." Verse 3 tells us that the wicked will be "ashes". Does any of the verses that I mentioned denote life continuing for the wicked? No.

You are self-deluded. Many are. You are not interested in the truth, you are interested in what appeals to your sinful nature.

I am self deluded? How rapidly you turn to insults. I am only interested in what appeals to my "sinful nature"? Such an accusation! I am stung! Truly, you cut me to the core! What ever is this sin you speak of? What! Doing what I want rather than what an absentee god wishes you to do? Is that what it is? Is my personal liberation from slavery unto the cross threatening to you? I serve the most high! At least the Light which guides my existence is not as faded as what ever dim star you follow after.

Greater is He who is in the world than he who is absent from it.

. Proverbs 16:25 says "There is a way that seems right to a man, but it's end is the way of death." The Bible says souls die (Ezekiel 18:4). All souls belong to Him, even you,, that is why you will have to give an account. Many think that if they refuse to believe in the God of the Bible they will also be free of the duty that God has given each of us which is to fear Him and keep His Commandments. We owe God worship. He created us and that alone is reason to worship Him that made the Heavens and the earth and the seas and all that in them is.

You had an opportunity to debate me and you failed.

If you do not wish to believe, I will not force you. I have more than done my part in the spreading of the truth of your own literature. Live in darkness.

Pay no mind to that one. He is in thrall to the Demiurge, the lunatic, psychopathic enslaver of Spirits. Rather, take pity on him.

Take pity on him? Why? I would so much rather he get exactly what he has asked for, no, what he has begged for! Slavery at the foot of the cross!

I have here a collection of questions for only those who believe in the below five concepts should answer.

1) Believers in conscious eternal punishment.

2) Believers in "Hell", (Luk 16:24) (Mat 5:29) "Hell" in this passage refers to (γέεννα) (Gehenna) and not "Hell" as in Sheol or Hades (the grave or place of the dead).

3) Believers in Lucifer as an angel created by God.

4) An eternal Lake of Fire which is also conscious eternal punishment.

5) That God is Omniscient (all seeing/knowing) and Omnipotent (all powerful).

~~~

1) If God is omniscient, why did he create Lucifer?

IE: God surely knew Lucifer's pride would cause Lucifer's fall and knew all associated with that fall.

2) Did Lucifer have choice like man has choice?

3) If God is omnipotent, can God annihilate a soul?

a) If God can not annihilate a soul, how is God omnipotent?

b) If God can annihilate a soul, why does God not annihilate Lucifer?

4) Why would God punish Satan eternally rather than annihilate Satan?

5) Is "Gehenna" thrown into The Lake of Fire with Sheol/Hades (resting place of the dead) and death (physical death)?

a) If "Gehenna" is thrown into The Lake of Fire, what happens to those who are in "Gehenna"?

b) Supposing "a" is true, why would God throw the souls of man into The Lake of Fire, a second eternal torment (and a final separation from God), when man has already been suffering in "Gehenna"?

6) Scripture states that Satan is to be thrown into The Lake of Fire (Mat 25:32-41). It also references that "the goats", a reference to those "on the left hand", also shall be thrown there. Likewise, The Beast, The False Prophet, all those not written in the Book of Life (Rev 20:15) and all those who took the Mark of the Beast, (Rev 20:10). The Lake of Fire is also known as The Second Death (Rev 20:14).

a) Why does Satan and those mentioned deserve this eternal punishment?

b) Does an Atheist go to The Lake of Fire for being an Atheist or do they go to "Gehenna"?

7) What does scripture mean when it states that the Beast and the False Prophet will be cast (ALIVE) into The Lake of Fire?

a) If the Beast (Antichrist) and the False Prophet are literal persons, does "ALIVE" mean CONSCIOUSLY or PHYSICALLY ALIVE?

b) If the Beast (Antichrist) and the False Prophet are not literal persons, what does "ALIVE" mean?

8) If Satan is already defeated at the cross, why is there a second war in Heaven prophesied in (Rev 12:7-9)?

9) Is the unforgivable sin something which can be committed in current time or is it something which could only be committed during the time of Yeshua? (Mar 3:29)

a) Is the unforgivable sin blasphemy against The Holy Spirit? Is it something else?

b) Is (Rev 22:19) also an unforgivable sin?

10) What does Eternal Life, The Book of Life and (Jhn 14:6) mean in scripture? To be specific, what is "Life" in the context of: (Strongs G2222): (of the absolute fulness of life, both essential and ethical, which belongs to God, and through him both to the hypostatic "logos" and to Christ in whom the "logos" put on human nature.)? Keep in mind, this is from the perspective of UNCONDITIONAL immortality.

a) Is Eternal Life total unity with God?

b) Eternal Death, The Second Death and "death" in general within scripture refers to separation. Is The Second Death eternal separation from God, just as "death" is separation from the body?

11) In regard to (Exo 20:5) and in context of the "visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me.". What is meant by this?

Thirty-Three,
If a person is deemed evil by God, and not worthy of life they will go to Gehenna, which is the same place as The Lake of Fire and Sulfur, Mark 9:43-48, Matthew 18:8,9. Jesus used the term Gehenna, because all the Jews were familiar with the Valley of Hinnom, where garbage was thrown, over the western wall in Jerusalem. They saw what happened to things thrown there, they were burned up, changed forever, gone forever.
Notice that The Lake of Fire and Sulfur is also called The Second Death, Revelation 20:14. Notice that verse 13,14 mentions things not living are also thrown into the Lake of Fire and Sulfur. The reason for this is: the Lake of Fire and Sulfur is a symbol of everlastingly gone. To make sure you understand exactly what death is, read Ecclesiastes 3:18-20, 9:5,6,10. Because a dead person cannot feel anything, or know anything, they cannot be tormented in The Lake d Fire, except by the fact that they are separated from God and life forever, Matthew 25:44-46.
Just one more point, about Lucifer, Isaiah 14:12, in the KJV Bible. This is an inaccurate translation!!! The word Lucifer actually means light bearer, which Satan certainly is NOT. In fact that term would most accurately point to Jesus, John 1:4-9. Very few Bibles translate this verse with Lucifer in it.
I would love to answer more of your questions, but it would take a 500 page book to answer them all.
If you want a Bible answer to any question, please ask mr a specific question, and I will love to give you Scriptures to help you understand anything. AGAPE!!!

Annihilation is hardly anything to fear, in my opinion. How would Christians gain converts if not for the everlasting torment doctrine?

Revelation 20:11-15

11 Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, great and small,standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. 13 The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done. 14 Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. 15 Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.

You have very good and valid questions about the Bible. I appreciate that you appear to have a strong understanding of the Bible's content and make an honest attempt to put things into proper context. I'm happy to answer these questions for you to the best of my understanding.

1) If God is omniscient, why did he create Lucifer?

IE: God surely knew Lucifer's pride would cause Lucifer's fall and knew all associated with that fall.

God presumably also knew man would fall and have to be redeemed, which is why it says Jesus was the lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
Revelation 13:8
1 Peter 1:18-21
John 1:29


2 Corinthians 2:7
Paul refers to lawlessness as a mystery.

Ephesians 5:31-32
Here the concept of marriage, man and woman coming together, is referred to as a great spiritual mystery with deep significance.

Isaiah 55:8-9

Why do I quote those? Because it's ok if we don't understand the why and the how behind everything. We could get into discussions and speculations about the why behind many things, but one thing we can be sure of is there is deep eternal spiritual purpose behind why God has done or allowed certain things. We do come to understand it more as time goes on and we have relationship with God, but from the natural understanding they are mysterious hidden things.
I do have my own assumptions, speculations, or beliefs about the mystery of iniquity, but I wouldn't state a lot of it as dogmatic fact at this point.

2) Did Lucifer have choice like man has choice?
I presume so. I see no reason why he wouldn't.

3) If God is omnipotent, can God annihilate a soul?

4) Why would God punish Satan eternally rather than annihilate Satan?

It may be possible from an absolute power standpoint, but it could also possibly go against His character to violate the free will of His creation to choose to exist apart from Him.

For instance: God can't lie because it goes against His very nature. He will never do things that violate who He is. God is truth.
Hebrews 6:18

b) If God can annihilate a soul, why does God not annihilate Lucifer?
I believe that goes back to the mystery of iniquity. In our natural mind we think everything would be better if God just got rid of satan with a snap of His fingers.
But there's a lot more going on from an eternal perspective that we aren't aware of in the natural.

What we do know:
Revelation 20:1-3
At some point he will bind satan from acting during the thousand year reign of Christ on earth.

Presumably satan is unbound after that time as one last test before the new heavens and earth and created.
Revelation 20:7-8

Revelation 20:10
But, after that, He will be thrown into the lake of fire, and His ability to influence will be gone forever.


Why is satan allowed to be released for a time after the 1000 years?

This concept of this kind of testing may be seen represented by a parallel in Israelite's conquest of Canaan. Their exit from Egypt into the promised land, from beginning to end, is like one big action demonstration of the individual's journey from sin, to redemption in Christ, to inheriting the promises of God in Christ.
In that account we see: Judges 2:20-23 and Judges 3:1-2.

I personally believe God allows certain truths, the consequences of our choices as corporate bodies, to be demonstrated to us in a way that will resound throughout eternity. Without a test like this, people might be able to look back in doubt of God and say "well, the only reason people didn't want to, or couldn't keep God's law was because they were living in world influenced by satan and full of lawless leaders". Nobody will be able to say that after Christ Himself, along with His people, have been ruling and reigning for a thousand years and satan is bound up and prevented from acting - Yet people will still want to rebel during that time (Zechariah 14:17)
Adam and Eve, also, were in a perfect state of unity with God, lacking nothing good, yet still rebelled to their own detriment.

It could be similar to how Job proves that the accusations of satan are wrong. Ie: "He only serves you because you bless him with so much material possession". Job's experience becomes a case example that proves that kind of accusation wrong for eternity.

5) Is "Gehenna" thrown into The Lake of Fire with Sheol/Hades (resting place of the dead) and death (physical death)?

No. Thanathos (death) and hades (shoel) are thrown into the lake of fire.
http://biblehub.com/interlinear/revelation/20-14.htm

a) If "Gehenna" is thrown into The Lake of Fire, what happens to those who are in "Gehenna"?
b) Does an Atheist go to The Lake of Fire for being an Atheist or do they go to "Gehenna"?

Gehenna is actually, almost certainly, a reference to the lake of fire itself.
It was a physical place that Jesus was referring to, the valley of Hinnom, which had symbolic spiritual significance.

Jeremiah 7:31-32 links Gehenna with the people burning their children with fire in sacrifice to idols. Also called Topeth.
Isaiah 30:33 I believe is a parallel of what we see in Revelation, where the rebellious "king" represents satan, being thrown into the place long prepared for him by God.

Isaiah 66:24
Mark 9:47-48
Revelation 20:10

According to medieval Jewish tradition, Gehenna was also said to be a perpetually burning garbage dump.

b) Supposing "a" is true, why would God throw the souls of man into The Lake of Fire, a second eternal torment (and a final separation from God), when man has already been suffering in "Gehenna"?

It is called the second thanatos (death).
As established, Gehenna wasn't thrown into the lake of fire, but is itself a picture of the lake of fire.

It says that everyone who was dead was raised, and if not found in the book of life, were thrown into the lake of fire
Revelation 20:12-13
Revelation 20:15

Luke 16:23
People were in hades before that, and we see that there is still torment in hades.

Note that Lazarus is not in torment, because he is at Abraham's side. Where is Abraham? Where God is. The implication here is that to avoid being in torment is to be at God's side.

It would seem that one difference between hades and the lake of fire is that the later is permanent. Hades is thrown into the lake of fire and presumably ceases to function as it did prior to this.

6) Scripture states that Satan is to be thrown into The Lake of Fire (Mat 25:32-41). It also references that "the goats", a reference to those "on the left hand", also shall be thrown there. Likewise, The Beast, The False Prophet, all those not written in the Book of Life (Rev 20:15) and all those who took the Mark of the Beast, (Rev 20:10). The Lake of Fire is also known as The Second Death (Rev 20:14).

a) Why does Satan and those mentioned deserve this eternal punishment?

Anyone not written in the Book of Life goes into the lake of fire.

John 17:1-3
John 10:10
You gain eternal life through Jesus, as represented by those whose name is in the book of life.

We see a parable of this in John 15:
John 15:5-6

Loving and obeying Jesus are shown in John 15 to be the same thing. By doing that we abide in Him. Which means we are not cut off from the true vine. If we are cut off them we whither and die, and are thrown into the fire.

7) What does scripture mean when it states that the Beast and the False Prophet will be cast (ALIVE) into The Lake of Fire?

a) If the Beast (Antichrist) and the False Prophet are literal persons, does "ALIVE" mean CONSCIOUSLY or PHYSICALLY ALIVE?

I do believe they are literal persons at the end of the age, becoming the embodiment in a single person of larger structures and ideas that are known as the beast world system and babylon false religious system.

I believe you could read it as them being alive when they are thrown in, or as being conscious while in the lake of fire, but likely both.

ThirtyThree said:
8) If Satan is already defeated at the cross, why is there a second war in Heaven prophesied in (Rev 12:7-9)?
Luke 4:12-14
Colossians 2:13-15
Hebrews 2:14-15
John 14:29-31
John 12:31-32
Luke 10:17-19
John 16:7-11
Philippians 2:8
1 John 2:13-14
1 Corinthians 15:25-27
Romans 16:20
Matthew 28:18-20
Revelation 1:18

Many things are certain. Jesus defeated satan's attempt to influence Him, being obedient to God and His truth all the way to the cross, even though He put himself under all the limitations of a man. And through Him we also are freed from all captvity to satan. All authority and power belongs to Jesus. Satan has no power over Him, and by extension has no power over those who are in Jesus.

We also know for sure from scripture that satan has already set himself up as the enemy of God prior to Jesus dying on the cross, seeking to kill and destroy His people. So we know that's not something new that will happen in the future.
That is also why we look at Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28, seeing they clearly are not just talking about people, but appear to be prophetic parallels of what has happened with satan rebelling against God. The earthly rulers are then compared prophetically to this because they are rebelling against God in the same spirit, and will meet the same fates.

We already know from other verses in the epistles and in Revelation that satan still operates in the world. At a future point he will be bound up and prevented from operating for a thousand years and later thrown for eternity in the lake of fire.

That doesn't mean Jesus hasn't defeated Him. He in a very real sense already did, and holds all the power. He reclaimed on our behalf that which Adam surrendered to satan, and we can re-inherit what was originally ours prior to the fall by adoption into the bloodline of Jesus.

As for why Jesus did not throw satan down into the lake of fire now, but waits for an appointed time? That gets into some of the mysteries of God's purposes that I referred to. I believe God has plans and purposes for why He allows the free will of man to play out to it's conclusion.

9) Is the unforgivable sin something which can be committed in current time or is it something which could only be committed during the time of Yeshua? (Mar 3:29)

a) Is the unforgivable sin blasphemy against The Holy Spirit? Is it something else?

Matthew 12.

Blasphemia
http://biblehub.com/greek/988.htm

Notice how the pharisees accuse Jesus of operating by the power of demons.
In context we can see that "blasphemy against the spirit" is accusing the Holy Spirit of being evil, accusing Him of being satan. It's slander against the Holy Spirit. It's calling that which is good evil.

I believe that is unforgiveable because someone who doesn't believe God is good will never go to Him to recieve forgiveness in humility. They won't choose to obey Him according to His truth. All of which is required to be saved from the lake of fire. They don't have faith in anything He has done or said, or even in who He is. Hebrews 11:6

b) Is (Rev 22:19) also an unforgivable sin?
That would fall under the category of disobedience and rebellion, which willfully separates ourselves from God.


10) What does Eternal Life, The Book of Life and (Jhn 14:6) mean in scripture? To be specific, what is "Life" in the context of: (Strongs G2222): (of the absolute fulness of life, both essential and ethical, which belongs to God, and through him both to the hypostatic "logos" and to Christ in whom the "logos" put on human nature.)? Keep in mind, this is from the perspective of UNCONDITIONAL immortality.

Jesus is life itself and the way for us to have life.
John 6:35
John 6:51
John 14:6

We gain access through Him to the tree of life, which is in the city/paradise of God. That is what we lost through the fall of man.

Genesis 2:9
Genesis 3:22-24
Revelation 2:7
Revelation 22:2
Revelation 22:14
1 Corinthians 1:30
Referring to wisdom: Proverbs 3:18

You could say that Jesus is the embodiment of the tree of life.

Life is eternal existence in the full unveiled presence of God, and all that is entailed in that.

a) Is Eternal Life total unity with God?

It depends on what you mean by that.
The analogy is used throughout scripture of God's people being a bride, and God/Jesus being the bridegroom.
There is the implication of intimate union in that sense, something which like a marriage becomes deeper with time and has a new more intimate dynamic to it after Jesus returns for His bride to take part in the marriage supper of the lamb (we would be compared right now to being in the state of engagement, with the Holy Spirit being a downpayment of God's faithfulness to return and fulfill His promise to marry), but that is not to imply it means a loss of individuality and free will.

That is why Paul referred to marriage as a very deep spiritual mystery.
Ephesians 5:31-32

b) Eternal Death, The Second Death and "death" in general within scripture refers to separation. Is The Second Death eternal separation from God, just as "death" is separation from the body?
The second death does involve separation from God.
An example of that is seen in the parable of John 15.


11) In regard to (Exo 20:5) and in context of the "visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me.". What is meant by this?

I don't believe that verse has any application to the issue of the lake of fire or the book of life.
Deuteronomy 24:16
Ezekiel 18:20

Exodus 20:5 suggests that those in the third and fourth generation hate God the same way their fathers did. This is all said in the context of the prohibition against idolatry. This is why many interpret this verse to be saying that the sin of idolatry has effects that go from one generation to the next because the fathers teach their sons to hate God.
Deuteronomy 7:3-4

The NET, a translation of the Seputagint, may highlight some more linguistic nuance to this verse for us:
You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I, the Lord, your God, am a jealous God, responding to the transgression of fathers by dealing with children to the third and fourth generations of those who reject me, and showing covenant faithfulness to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.

The Knox translation of the Latin Vulgate, might show us more nuance:
Thou shalt not carve images, or fashion the likeness of anything in heaven above, or on earth beneath, or in the waters under the earth, to bow down and worship it. I, thy God, the Lord Almighty, am jealous in my love; be my enemy, and thy children, to the third and fourth generation, for thy guilt shall make amends; love me, keep my commandments, and mercy shall be thine a thousandfold.

The Wycliffe Bible, also based on the Latin Vulgate:
thou shalt not bow down to them, neither worship them; for I am thy Lord God, a strong(ly) jealous lover; I visit the wickedness of (the) fathers in (the) children into the third and fourth generation of them that hated me, (thou shalt not bow down to them, nor worship them; for I, the Lord thy God, am a jealous God; I punish the children for the wickedness of their fathers, unto the third and fourth generations of those who hate me,)
and I do mercy into thousands, to them that love me, and keep my behests. (but I do mercy unto thousands, to those who love me, and who keep my commandments.)

The AMP translation suggests that although they are not being punished because their fathers sinned, they are accountable for the sinful practices they have inherited and continue, and God will deal with them according to it:

You shall not worship them nor serve them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous (impassioned) God [[a]demanding what is rightfully and uniquely mine], visiting (avenging) the iniquity (sin, guilt) of the fathers on the children [that is, calling the children to account for the sins of their fathers], to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, 6 but showing graciousness and steadfast lovingkindness to thousands [of generations] of those who love Me and keep My commandments.

The Message, which is a very loose paraphrase:
No carved gods of any size, shape, or form of anything whatever, whether of things that fly or walk or swim. Don’t bow down to them and don’t serve them because I am God, your God, and I’m a most jealous God, punishing the children for any sins their parents pass on to them to the third, and yes, even to the fourth generation of those who hate me. But I’m unswervingly loyal to the thousands who love me and keep my commandments.

Those all support a common interpretation of this passage that is taken by Christians.

Take pity on him? Why? I would so much rather he get exactly what he has asked for, no, what he has begged for! Slavery at the foot of the cross!

Why do you think the cross is slavery?

At the foot of the cross is freedom from the slavery of sin. Sin is slavery to satan.
Those who are born into the world of sin become slaves to sin without God's intervention:
2 Corinthians 4:4
Ephesians 2:2
John 12:31
1 John 5:19
John 8:44
John 1:12
John 3:16
Romans 6:6
Colossians 1:13

Submission to God's will frees us to be who He created us to be. Full of joy, peace, love, and pursuing the good works God has for us.
Ephesians 2:10.

Satan is the father of lies. It has always been a part of his deception, such as in the Garden and with the tower of Babel, that God is holding something back from us, and that we can become God if we rebel against Him. The truth is He has already given us everything we need, We lack no good thing in Him. Psalms 34:10
Satan's goal is to lead the people God loves to destruction by getting them to believe a lie that puts them in rebellion to God.

I also thought it was interesting that you seem to be so familiar with the Bible, yet identify yourself as transhumanist, globalist, and luciferian.
Especially if you are familiar with the book of Revelation.

Considering your beliefs, I'm curious what you think of the mark of the beast.
The mark of the beast mentioned in Revelation is tied with worshipping satan, and will likely involve the kind of technology that transhumanists advocate. There are many theories put forth; it could be as simple as a chip interface or tatoo, or it could also be much more elaborate in the sense of genetic alteration or technological mind control, a surrendering of oneself to the technology they have chosen to enslave themselves to.

Satan was also the first globalist after the flood. It was he who deceived the people under Nimrod to unite in their rebellion to God, and pursue what they arrogantly thought would allow them to challenge God. We see again in Revelation that this globalist agenda is pursued again, as satan seeks to dominate the world under his one world religious, economic, and military system.

So I'm curious how, with your strong understanding of the Bible's content, that you would actively pursue an agenda that the Bible says is destined to fail with 2/3s of the earth's population of earth dying, satan and those with him being thrown into the lake of fire, and Jesus coming back to rule over the whole earth?
God allowed the people to be scattered during the time of Nimrod out of mercy, so they would not destroy the race of man by pursuing this agenda. But in the end times, we'll see what that agenda culminates in, when satan is given a level of control and power over the world he has never had before. Satan comes only to steal, kill, and destroy. John 10:10. Which is why in Matthew 24:24 it says unless those days were shortened no one would survive. In that context, in the aftermath, Jesus will return himself to destroy the systems of satan, bind satan, and rule directly over the earth as a truly righteous King. Then we will have a demonstrative contrast of what it means to fully give oneself over to the will and slavery of satan, versus what living in submission to the will of Jesus looks like.
