The Fires of Hell Have Gone Out: No Eternal Torment

quote:

DorfMan,

​

To those of us who you have turned over to the Holy Spirit for correction on the matter of Annhilation, I wonder.

​

Should I expect that the Holy Spirit will change my Bible from:

​

" ... and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever" to read instead " ... and they will [NOT] be tormented day and night forever and ever?"

​

Is that how I will know when the Holy Spirit has corrected me? Or will the Holy Spirit change my Bible to read " .. and they will be [annhilated] day and night forever and ever"?

​

I will keep checking my Bible to see if the Holy Spirit, whose work you cannot do, has changed Revelation 14:10 to read "And the smoke of their torment goes up, [BUT NOT] forever and ever"

​

If that happens then I'll know that the "work" which only the Spirit can do to cause me to disbelieve in eternal torment in the lake of fire, must have taken place.

​

In the mean time the Holy Spirit is impressing me with these words:

​

"I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll: If anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues which are written in this scroll.

​

And if anyone takes away from the words of the scroll of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the tree of life and out of the holy city, which are written in this scroll" (Rev. 22:18,19)

I did not expect condescension, but accept it.
Thank you.

I'm sorry for that tone but ... did you think that I expected the insinuation that I was resistent to the work of the Holy Spirit?

?????????????
No, I expected you to understand that I cannot do the work of the Holy Spirit. Since you did not, I apologize for the impression.
I cannot do the work of the Holy Spirit. Once I have done all I can, I step aside and let Him continue by Himself. It's standard procedure for me.

The "lake of fire" is only in Revelation. Matthew is the only gospel that mentions eternal fire.

Don't you find it interesting that after it was explained what the term 'forever' can mean and also 'hell', there is a refusal to acknowledge and accept that screaming sinners in hell for eternity are NOT?
God will burn them UP and they will be ASHES under our feet?2 Timothy 3:7
Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.Another example would be accepting nine commandments as binding, but dismissing one as Jewish.Well, perhaps I don't find it interesting, too.
