DoctorAlien:Revelations is silent, hence let's wait and see. Even the venue of the Great White Throne Judgement is not expressedly stated. After the fire destroys the armies in Revelation 20:9, the earth also will be destroyed as 2 Peter 3:10-12 and after the judgement of the devil we are told in verse 11/12 that from the Presence of He that sat on the Throne the Earth (already destroyed ) and heavens (also torched) fled away! So, the actual location is not given and for want of a reference, I will not speculate! 1 Like 1 Share |

DoctorAlien:The fire devours the flesh but the souls head hellwards, they will be among these: 13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. Revelations 20:13 1 Like 1 Share |

Scholar8200: This is not the first time the Bible is using that word torment but let me address your assertion. But bear in mind that the book revelation uses figurative languages that are not to be understand literally. Look at how Bible described the destruction of Babylon. 8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her. 9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, 10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come. Take a closer look at this portion you'll see that 1: Bible mentioned she was burned with fire after God's judgement on her. 2: kings of the earth who committed fornication with her mourned her and lamented when they see the smoke from her or smoke burning her. 3: She was tormented and they couldn't help. They were rather scared. 18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city! 4: They can't help hut cry when they saw the smoke burning her. 21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all. 5: An Angel cast a stone into sea and said the stone represent Babylon and that she will be found no more. In other words she Babylon is destroyed and gone even when the Bible said she was been tormented. So fire and torment are symbolical and Revelation's lake of fire is different from Gehenna where Jesus said one can cut body parts and throw into it. So revelation shows torment can also mean destruction and that explains why death and hell are cast into the lake of fire. Which means the second death or destruction! |

DoctorAlien:Daniel 7:17 talks about a king, I go with that. Daniel 7 also talks of the fact that the beasts were kingdoms meaning the Beast refers to both the king and his kingdom. If you doubt this Daniel 2 describes Christ's Kingdom as a Rock and at the same time we know that Jesus is the Rock. Isaiah 28, Matthew 16. |

DoctorAlien: Jozzy4:You are missing it! We talk of parallel passage that concern the topic at hand - final judgement of man when time is over. This passage speaks: I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'? He is not the God of the dead but of the living." Matt 22:32 Though physically dead, Jesus affirmed that those men were living! |

Scholar8200: What question does that answer? Malachi 4:1,3 depicts what will happen at the last day. The wicked will be burnt to ashes. It does not say their flesh will be burnt, and souls spared. Where is that teaching from? What about Satan who does not have flesh? What about him will be burnt to ashes on that terrible day? |

DoctorAlien:Good question! Satan would not be devoured but taken and cast into the Lake of fire: 10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. Revelation 20:10 Notice the last sentence, the beast and false prophet would still be there after 1000 years! That establishes the fact that annihilation is a fallacy and Eternal lake of fire is literal else why have they not been consumed after 1000 years? 1 Like 1 Share |

Scholar8200: See Rev. 20:8,9. Satan mobilizes them against GOD. Fire descends and devours them. After devouring, is there anything remaining? Also, Ezekiel 28:13-18 talks about Satan being burnt to ashes. What are you saying? |

Scholar8200: This story is a parable not a real life event. Jesus made use of many parables like the merchant, sowing of seed, virgirns. All these weren't real or real events. Concerning Jesus the Bible said: Matthew 13:34-35English Standard Version (ESV) Prophecy and Parables 34 All these things Jesus said to the crowds in parables; indeed, he said nothing to them without a parable. 35 This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet:[a] “I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter what has been hidden since the foundation of the world.” Footnotes: Matthew 13:35 Some manuscripts Isaiah the prophet. So we know why Jesus teaches with illustrations, word pictures and hyperbolic stories. Now answer me this: When Jesus said it will be easier for a camel to pass through the needles eye than for a rich man yo enter in God's kingdom, Was Jesus saying that a camel can pass through the needle's eyes? Again does it mean that a rich must wait for a Carmel to pass through the needle's eye before he can attain the kingdom? Please i am waiting for answers. 1 Like |

Scholar8200: ur runaway tactic as usual , if u examine Isaiah 34:9,10 , you will see how much it parallels with Rev 14:10,11 both talk about burning day and night, and smoke ascending forever , which begs the question : was the Land of Edom cast into hellfire? or was it destroyed ? the knowledge of this can greatly help a bible student to understand the same context at Rev 14:10,11
what does this passage got to do with what is been discussed ? the context shows Jesus is discussing THE RESSURECTION. matt 22:31, therefore base on this hope, God could view his friends as alive though in reality they are dead For those who insist this doesnt mean ressurection but that they are actual living , the question : they are exactly Alive , at where ? |

goodnews201668: camel passing through a needles eye is just impossible, yet Jesus said it will be easier for a camel to do so , when I was still very young this part baffles me alot , I later came to realize that not everything Jesus said it to be taken at face value . yet the so - called scholar82 might even tell u its possible , dont be surprised . someone who belive grave will be burned forever will accept anything no matter how unsensible and ridiculous it is . do u note where he said his imaginary soul have two eyes and two feet plus TONGUE ? when its clear this are human attribute. u begin to wonder what else his imaginary soul wont have , probably it might have genitals . why not ? afterall it drinks water, what stop this same fictional soul from eating, or even having intimacy . 1 Like |
