As God is fair and it would not be fair to Judge anybody before the Great White Throne Of Judgment.
I just don't believe that God is going to put anyone into the pit before the Judgement.
That would not be fair and we serve a just God!
This is just the way I see the correct interpretation to be.
And the way others read it if God is truly fair and just.
But I do believe in there will be a Hell.
A Burning Lake Of Fire!
Hi there Lynn,
In regards to your statement, "God is fair and it would not be fair to judge anybody before the Great White Throne Judgment, etc....."
I would imagine that you did watch the video, I posted "Life Beyond the Grave", by Tamara Laroux, on the 700 Club, ....perhaps you missed her words, regarding
the 'fire of hell'?? She said The human mind cannot understand spiritual things. That is true. Also she said the "burning of hell" is not like the FIRE we are so familiar with. It is like a "sulfuric type burning". An unquenchable, unending, agonizing painful suffering. I agree with that, other verses would back this up.
Beyond any shadow of doubt, I do believe, "To be absent from the body, (earthly death), is to be "present with the Lord" (for Christians). Of course the flip side of that would be "presence of hell", for the UNbelievers.
You mentioned you believe God is fair. Can you show me that verse in Scripture? God is Holy and Righteous and Just. Yes, the
Great White Throne Judgment comes after the Lord returns to conquer the devil.
However, immediately after the body dies, the spirt must go somewhere. It lives on eternally.
For our Lord to be JUST, means He is absolutely RIGHT! His ways are not our ways. Please read Isaiah 55:7-9. (v.8)
"For my thoughts are not your thoughts neither are your ways my ways,.." No human being can know the thoughts (mind), of the Lord. We know His Word, the Bible, but He alone is the Judge.
The Jehovah Witnesses and LDS (Mormons), do not believe in Hell, as the Bible teaches. / Have a nice day.
