Again; The Eternal Punishment is Death of the soul, both body and spirit. Hell is not a concept of Judaism or original Christianity. Hell is solely a Pagan belief and has nothing to do with true Judaism or Christianity. Hell was introduced into the bible by the Catholics. Having Christ equal to Yahwah was also introduced by the Catholics. Catholic doctrine has that the Pope is Christ incarnate.
I would think hell is the living out of the daily suffering we experience in the dying bodies of death .Yoked with Christ we receive the daily bread to strengthen us to do His good will, making our sufferings lighter .
Hell is literal dying sufferings
unto death . .not dead never to rise to new spirit life. ,
Both Jonah and Jesus are used to define hell
Jonah 2 King James Version Then Jonah prayed unto the Lord his
God out of the fish's belly, And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the Lord, and he heard me; out of the belly of
hell cried I, and
thou heardest my voice
Jonah was suffering
unto death a living sufferings ,God does not take dead sacrifices. God does not speak to the dead. Dead people cannot pray.
His sufferings unlike that of Jesus the Son of man. Jonah was sufferings unto death because of his distain for the Ninevites when it comes to the spiritual things of God they did not know their right from there left He knew that when he preached the gospel been thrown overboard vomited out he kicked against the pricks ( the letter of the law) death and wanted to die like it was a suicide mission. LOL Kamazeee Jonah
Jonah 4 King James Version4 But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry. And he prayed unto the Lord, and said, I pray thee, O Lord, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for
I knew that thou art a
gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of
great kindness, and repentest thee of the evil.Therefore now, O Lord, take, I beseech thee, my life from me;
for it is better for me to die than to live.Then said the
Lord, Doest
thou well to
be angry?
Jesus did the will of the Father with delight not resisting the power of the gospel as did Jonah who wanted to die
Jesus suffered unto death, the father hearing him strengthened him to continue to suffer unto death to fulfil the prophecies (Genesis 3:15 and isaiah 53). The witness of two, the unseen father working in and with the Son of man, the labor of love of two. The father striking the Son bruised his heel crushing the head of the serpent. the labor of two. . three or more is a crowd .
Its not the most popular idea but it does ring true comparing the spiritual understand to the spiritual or call faith to faith the unseen things of God not of us dying mankind . I believe the demonstration is demonstrated in three parts all having a different gospel purpose
Three days nights the promised demonstration was given in three parts or three separate in order to make one (three denotes the end of a matter) The garden demonstration the fulfillment of genesis 3:15 with Isaiah 53 . the witness two . secondly the cross the bloody demonstration to the nations of world. . . and the third the tomb the demonstration of faith the power of God the unseen things of God.
Mathew 23:36-46 Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called
Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder. And he took with him
Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.Then saith he unto them, My soul is
exceeding sorrowful, even
unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me. And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from
me: nevertheless not as
I will, but as
thou wilt.And he cometh unto the disciples, and
findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying,
O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done. And he came and
found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy. And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the
third time, saying the
same words.Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them,
Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me.
Then they moved on to the second demonstration the bloody a ceremonial sign to the unbelieving world. The believers have prophecy spoken of the witness of two in the garden .
The bloody demonstrate to some appears as if we could acredit the work of two to the Satan enticed crowd as if dying mankind bruised the heel.
The father putting to sleep the disciples three times to seal the prophecy the witness of two the one witness God has spoken
(Genesis 3:5 working with Isaiah 53
Then the final demonstration of three. The tomb the demonstration of faith the unseen things of God .
I agree with the idea of Catholicism developing it to support thier limbo doctrine. . sufferings after one takes thier last breath of oxygen for all but what they call the Queen mother. It is taught what they call queen of heaven alone received the fullness of grace the full price of salvation .
The rest of the world a unknown remnant and they must continue to suffer wonder suffer wonder with no end in sight The doctrine of men .which does despite to the grace of God the full price of salvation. Not a unknown remnant
