Eternal Hell Questions

[Bullinger]

Hello all!

Here are a few questions:

If people are in hell right now, will God take them out of an eternal hell to be judged and then put them back into eternal hell? Did Jesus pay the price for our sin? If the penalty was eternal hell, wouldn't He still be there? If Jesus is to fill all things, will He fill eternal hell with Himself? If people are in heaven or hell, what is the purpose of the resurrection? Paul said that if there is no resurrection, let us eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die. Death does not mean that we are in heaven or hell, but it means that we are dead."

Your questions can lead to some very long and complicated discussions. Just a few comments from scripture:

#1 True believers are never judged as to condemnation, but only as to rewards. What we did in the body will be judged by fire as to whether it was wood, hay, and stubble, or gold, silver, and pecious stones. (Romans 8:2)

#2 Believers, both those alive and the dead, are raised tohether at the RAPTURE of the Church. (1 Thess 4 and 1 Cor 15)

#3 The wicked dead are resurrected at the end of the millennium, are judged according to their works, and then it is off to the lake of Fire for them.

There is much, much more on these subjects.

Hello all I'm new here.

Hello, Welcome.

If people are in hell right now, will God take them out of an eternal hell to be judged and then put them back into eternal hell?

No.

 

Did Jesus pay the price for our sin?

Yes.

 

If the penalty was eternal hell, wouldn't He still be there?

Matthew 12:40.  For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

Psalms 16:10.  For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

 Acts 2:22.  Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:
 23.  Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:
 24.  Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.
 25.  For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:
 26.  Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:
 27.  Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
28.  Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.
 29.  Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.
 30.  Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;
 31.  He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.
 32.  This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.
 33.  Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the Promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.

If Jesus is to fill all things, will He fill eternal hell with Himself?

See previous verses.

 

If people are in heaven or hell, what is the purpose of the resurrection?

Resurrected to either eternal life or eternal damnation depending on whether you are saved in Jesus Christ or not.

 

Paul said that if there is no resurrection, let us eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die.

But there is a resurrection which is the point Paul was putting across.

 

Death does not mean that we are in heaven or hell, but it means that we are dead."

The spirit goes back to God, the body is in the grave which is sheol or translated in many Bibles as hell.

Nowhere does Scripture extend the hope of salvation to the unsaved dead, but, instead, reveals that they will ever continue to exist in a state of conscious suffering (Luke 16:23-28, Rev. 14:11, Rev. 20:14-15, Col 3:6, Rom. 1:21-32, John 3:36, Phil. 3:19, 2 Thes. 1:9). The teachings of universalism, probation after death, annihilation of the unsaved dead, and of the unconscious state of the dead--saved or unsaved (Luke 16:23-28, Phil. 1:23, 2 Cor. 5:6-8), are opposed by us as being thoroughly unscriptural and dangerous doctrines.
