To: Mr. Douglas
but it fills them only with posers hedging their bets.

I'll assume you are talking about churches that preach the Gospel of our Lord.

The 'posers' are in a church where they hear the Word of God, faith comes by hearing. If they weren't 'hedging their bets' would they be in church exposed to the Word? Did not Christ die for their sins as well? The Law and the Holy Spirit convict the sinful heart, if they are absent from church how will they hear the remedy.

Nowhere does God torture his enemies.

Rev 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

Hell was created for the Devil and his angels. But: Matt 24:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

No. I’m talking about churches that preach the “turn or burn” message, which is not scriptural.

” Nowhere does God torture his enemies.”

Rev 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

Hell was created for the Devil and his angels. But: Matt 24:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:


Yeah. I’m sorry I wasn’t more precise. I was talking about past events (OT) and I was talking about Humans. After all, Christ died for humans.

And again, the devil and his angels are not humans. Also, you are using Revelation, which is a book of symbols. Just as the seven churches are not literal lampstands, many of the other alegories/symbols are similar. But I’m trying to re-invent the wheel. Ed Fudge covers it very well in his book and movie.
