Is this it?
"I don't believe there is a physical place where people go and are tormented. No. I don't believe that,"So...is he saying that he doesn't believe in the conceptual place or that he doesn't believe that such a place is in the "physical" world?
The first is wrong, as the Bible records. Such a "place" is called and referred to by several names and descriptions many times in Scripture.
However, if he is saying the second one, that it's not a physical place, then I think he's probably correct. You could say the same for Heaven not being a "physical" place, too, a physical location that we could somehow GPS and go visit.
Those are places "not of this world" and of a realm we will know after our body's death when our consciousness has been freed.
For my own conceptual understanding, I generally think of this experience we call reality as being not unlike The Matrix and God is the cosmic programmer.
In that conceptual view, Heaven and hell are places we can GPS and visit within and all the characters are real. Even more real than reality.
I wouldn’t vote for Ben Carson unless the only choice I had was him or a demoncrat. That being said — I’m not voting for “National Preacher” and neither should you. Seriously. Not being snarky; trying to be honest. Why do you care how pious he is? Faith is not “social plumage”, yet more and more, that’s what so called “religious” people seem more interested in.
Just curious, how many organized branches of the Christian religion actually believe in the Rapture to the point they actually perpetuate and promote it within their churches on Sundays?
If you don’t have Jesus Christ you don’t have salvation. Jesus is the only salvation, who else paid for your sins? God is not going to let those who reject Jesus into His kingdom, that is it, deal with it. You are free to believe what you want, I will believe Jesus Christ as hundreds of millions have since the Cross.
Jesus will catch His own up to Him on His way down here, there is no 7 year in heaven nonsense. It is the start of the Millennium rule of Jesus Christ on earth.
Hell has not yet been created but God will create Hell and cast all those who reject Him (Jesus) into it. Either you receive Jesus Christ and His payment for your sins or you pay for your sins in Hell forever.
Sheol (Hebrew) and Hades (Greek) is the present hell. Hell (The Lake of Fire) is the final and eternal Hell for all without Jesus Christ’ payment for sin they are cast into Hell at the judgment of Jesus Christ, He will judge all either as His or as having rejected Him.
I do not say these things on my own authority but on the authority of God’s own Word.
