Remnant - You refer to Revelation 14:11.

But the author "John" of Revelation is not John the apostle. Several facts bear witness to this, one of which is the style of the Greek. The apostle wrote his Gospel account and epistles in a very plain, unadorned style, but Revelation is written in a very ornate style.

It is the fiendish, diabolical false god of the Jew who tortures his creatures.

The merciful God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the father of our Lord, Christ Jesus, simply annihilates the wicked; this is taught throughout the Scripture.

Another instance in which Jesus uses the erroneous thinking of his audience to warn them of their fate is seen in the parable of Matthew 25:26-27:

26 His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed: 27 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.

The Lord is not a thief; he does NOT reap where he does not sow.

Nor does the Lord take usury; usury is forbidden by the Law of God (the teaching of John "Cohen" Calvin notwithstanding).

cbcpreacher -

Jesus used the city dump to illustrate the fate of the wicked.

In the dump, garbage is destroyed -- not tortured eternally.

Flames reduce combustible waste to ashes. Maggots feed upon carcasses until they are consumed.

No one quenches the flames. Maggots always are to be found, and in that sense alone never come to an end (KJV "die").

The portrayal is that of certain destruction without reprieve.

Cindy,

Everywhere in the Scripture, the fate of the wicked is portrayed as destruction -- utter annihilation.

The notion of "Hell" as a place of torment comes from:

(1) failure to understand that the parable of the rich man and Lazarus portrays the Talmudic Jewish view of the "afterlife",

(2) failure to understand that Gehenna with its "undying" maggot and unquenchable flame is a garbage dump in which garbage is consumed completely, and

(3) failure to understand that the book of Revelation is a Jewish forgery and that the author is NOT John the apostle.

To pseudo-Moses:

Your arguments are contradicted by the plain declaration of the Scripture:

1 Corinthians 15:45-49 - 45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. 46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. 47 The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven. 48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. 49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.

Read again verses 45, 48, and 49; as was Adam, so are we.

P.S. The God of the Scripture, being merciful, neither practices nor condones torture; it is blasphemy to assert that he does.

You demonstrate utter contempt for the Scripture by gainsaying the plain declaration found in the Scripture:

Genesis 2:7 - And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

Man is chemical in nature ("the dust of the ground"); only through the transformation of the resurrection does he become spirit in nature:

I Corinthians 15:44 - It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

Read it again, from Genesis 2:7: Man does not HAVE a soul; upon impartation of the spirit of life, the lifeless chemical organism BECAME a living soul.

to pseudo-moses:

The meaning of a word is determined by the context in which the word is used. This is particularly important to remember when working with Hebrew, which is an imprecise language with an extremely limited vocabulary. Hebrew is suitable for narrative, but not for precise description; that's why New Covenant scripture was written in Greek.

Ecclesiastes 12:7 - 7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.

Regarding the false notion of "soul sleep":

Man does not HAVE a "soul"; rather, man IS a soul. A soul simply is a living creature.

Until the resurrection, man is a chemical organism -- flesh -- which is animated by a God-given spirit of life (or "breath of life").

Upon death, the animating spirit returns to the Creator; it is used to animate the resurrection body.

The spirit acts as a repository for the character, personality, and memories of man. But the spirit is not the essence of man -- it has no consciousness, nor can it think, hear, see, or feel.

The New Covenant -- like the Old -- is exclusive to Israel.

Jeremiah 31:31-33 - 31 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Juda ... 33 For this is my covenant which I will make with the house of Israel; after those days, saith the Lord, I will surely put my laws into their mind, and write them on their hearts; and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people.

Hebrews 8:8-10 - 8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah ... 10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people.

The fact that the "Gentiles" are partakers in the New Covenant demonstrates that the "Gentiles" in reality are Israelites.

To pseudo-Paul: I neither complained nor reported "abuse".

I have been away all day; I just now returned and discovered your posts missing. I would have preferred that they remain, to provide context for my posts.

Here again, Christians stupidly are aligning themselves according to their position on the false issue of abortion, rather than according to the teaching of the Scripture.

In the light of the declaration of Romans 9:11, "For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil...", one hardly can argue that the spirit of life is imparted to man prior to birth -- for where there is life, there, of necessity, is the ability to sin.

To the bloke who is impersonating "Paul the Apostle":

You are taking out of context the passage which you cite:

I Corinthians 10:32 - 11:1 Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God: 33 Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.

Paul here gives instruction concerning both the Church and the Jews and Gentiles who are outside the Church.

As previously noted, once an individual becomes a Christian, God views him neither as "Jew" nor as "Gentile".

Romans 10:12 - 12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.

Galatians 3:26-29 - 26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Rome, Spain, Greece -- all these regions to which Paul and the other apostles took the Gospel had been settled long before by the descendants of the so-called "lost tribes" of Israel, which, in accordance with prophecy, had become "as the sand of the seashore" for number.

Hosea 1:8-11 - 8 And she weaned Unpitied; and she conceived again, and bore a son. 9 And he said, Call his name, Not my people: for ye are not my people, and I am not your God. 10 Yet the number of the children of Israel was as the sand of the sea, which shall not be measured nor numbered: and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said to them, Ye are not my people, even they shall be called the sons of the living God. 11 And the children of Juda shall be gathered, and the children of Israel together, and shall appoint themselves one head, and shall come up out of the land: for great shall be the day of Jezrael.

The regathering is by means of evangelization; the reunification is in the body of Christ Jesus.

The apostles and the local assemblies which existed in the days of the apostles had no "burden" to proclaim the Gospel to anyone other than Israelites; nor should Christians of this day.

Upward of eighty percent of the population of Israel was deported by Assyria circa 721 B.C. These "nations" or "tribes" (Greek ETHNOS, Latin GENTILIS), in accordance with Bible prophecy, grew to an innumerable multitude, eventually migrating across the Caucasus mountains into Central and Western Europe, Spain, and the British Isles. These are the "Gentiles" whom the prophets foretold would be reunited with Judah under Christ Jesus. These are the only peoples on the face of the earth who truly have embraced the Christian Faith.

The reunification of Israel is an accomplished fact, in the body of Christ.

fivepoints - The teaching of the book of Revelation, together with the dispensational system of Scofield, portrays the unregenerate Jew as being in a perpetual covenantal relationship, and necessitates that the Old Covenant be revived at the end of the "Great Tribulation" so that the "70th week" of Daniel can be completed.

So long as you accord canonicity to the book of Revelation, you cannot escape this heresy.

Thankfully, it is a relatively simple matter to demonstrate that the book of Revelation is a forgery, rather than the work of John the apostle, and thus, that the book has no rightful place in the Canon of Scripture.

I know all the arguments, backward and forward and in detail. I am writing a seminary-level book on the subject which demolishes the arguments, together with the entire Scofield system of dispensations.

This matter has been discussed at length here on sermonaudio.com, but inasmuch as the truth of the matter conflicts with the doctrinal position of the owner of the site, the postings soon were purged.

It would be futile to expend the effort once more of posting the arguments in detail, only to have them purged again.

There hardly is a greater fool than the Christian who refuses to acknowledge the fact that the Jew who rejects the sacrifice of Jesus of Nazareth is condemned and shall be given no future opportunity for repentance.

The New Covenant is in effect now, and shall remain in effect until the end of time and on into Eternity. The New Covenant never shall be set aside to give the Jew another opportunity to recognize Jesus as the Christ.

Every man -- Jew or "Gentile" -- as an individual has the opportunity to accept or reject Jesus as the Christ.

The notion of a future "mass conversion" of the Jew is foolishness of the highest degree.

As I stated near the beginning of this thread, in the parable of the rich man and Lazarus, Jesus uses the Talmudic conception of the afterlife to show the Talmudic Jews their fate. The parable is full of symbolism, and is not to be taken literally.

The book of Revelation is a forgery which has been used to leaven the Christian Faith with Jewish myth concerning many subjects, including "fallen angels" and everlasting torture. The writer "John" of Revelation is not John the apostle. Numerous such apocalyptic documents were circulating in the first century A.D.

Thus, theologians appeal to the Talmud each time they appeal to the book of Revelation.

The point of the discussion -- which should be obvious to all, but apparently is not -- is that, if God himself practices torture, then one hardly can argue that torture is immoral.

And conversely, if torture indeed is immoral, then it is blasphemy to argue that God himself tortures his own creatures.

But (as I previous pointed out) it is a simple matter to demonstrate that the notion that God practices torture is due wholly to the influence of Jewish myth; it is not taught by the Scripture.
