Default Re: No Place Like Hell

Maybe you could refresh my memory, beloved brother manna-man, but I don't believe it was Darby or any seminary professor that brought us the following imagery:

The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all causes of sin and all law-breakers, and throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Matthew 13:41,42

Are you in the school of thought that says that Jesus never said anything about the "fiery furnace"? I hope not. The actual anglicized word "hell" is not as important as the reality of what the Lord Jesus warned about in Matthew 13. Whatever anglicized word you use is of little consequence compared to the reality that there will be a final judgment. And there WILL BE weeping and there WILL BE gnashing of teeth. And those who will find themselves in this place will be without excuse, for "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life". This is the Gospel message that was preached by the Lord Jesus, the Scripture writing apostles and the earliest of Christian believers, teachers and scholars.

Shalom to you as well
