If in the Holy Spirit you can not discern the Truth in the first two verses of the Bible then how can you expect to understand any word there after? I plead to you with all the Love and Sorrow which the Almighty has put with in me, weaken the flesh so that the Holy Spirit can show you Truth. Submit thyself to what weakens the flesh, such as fasting of All that pleases the flesh. So that you may see in Truth that " The wise have eyes In their heads, while the fool walks in the darkness " Ecc 2:14

Spot on. Well said.

This is great!

The outer darkness is a purging and purifying process, like a furnace. The lake of fire is for the total destruction of the wicked who gnashed their teeth and unrepentat to God.

[@bluezy710]

Correct!

[@julianasher6834]

Quick Q: After purifying process is fully accomplished, does Christ or the Word of GOD has guaranteed that one will surely be transferred back into the New Heaven and New Earth and promised that they will see the Face of the Father? Reprobate mind, forsaken by the Holy Spirit while alive on earth, will have a second chance after the purifying process and shall see the Face of the Father, for 100% sure? Just asking....

@@julianasher6834 Based on the books that will be opened at the white throne judgment and on the grace and mercy of God. Rev. 20:13-15 The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done. Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire. Romans 9:15 For he says to Moses, "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion."

@@roderickcruz5234 I understand your point being MERCIFUL GOD even when he is conducting the WHITE THRONE JUDGEMENT. But it seems to me that you are more concern to tell to the world that everyone has second chance even after being cast out the outer darkness, and not concentrating on the Ministry of the Holy Spirit or place the Spirit under the carpet!! I am not attacking you here. I am just saying. Why is Blasphemy Against the Spirit Never Forgiven? And it seems that outer darkness is a place where one can repent as per his second chance during the purification process in the outer darkness after he had done Blasphemy against the Spirit while he was living on the earth. I don't think when GOD is judging, he will be merciful on the sin of insulting the Holy Spirit. If this teaching of yours of Merciful GOD when conducting his white throne judgement (and mind you, before he makes his WT Judgement, the earth flew away from his face and have found no palace to hide, leading to a merciful GOD's face?) spreads to the world, I am in my terrifying stage of people starting deceiving to themselves that's "Oh its ok, we have second chance or many more chances in the Outer Darkness as being purified or even we can insult the Holy Spirit as much as we can for GOD is so merciful that he will cast us out into the OD and we will repent there although there is weeping and gnashing of teeth. If this teaching spreads out, LORD have mercy on humanity!

@@julianasher6834 in our natural world, there had been from time in memorial the prison concept as a form of punishment and rehabilitation. There were also the concept of pardon, clemency, and death penalty. In the bible, God expresses His compassion and love for those who are imprisoned. This is where I got this understanding of the Righteousness of God in His Judgment by administering His grace, mercy, and justice, and I believe that all this is driven by the power of His love. Mercy-killing for me in its natural sense is man's love for a certain loved one who had to painfully and regretfully decide to end its life in order not to suffer anymore. Maybe this goes the same too with God. I hope I am wrong about this. Pardon and Clemency is not a devil thing. The blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is ignorantly and hsughtily accussing and condemning a certain work of the HS as the work of the devil. Accusing a certain doctrine and worst the whole church denomination that hold to it as a cult, can fall in the case of blaspheming of the Holy Spirit. I believe not all truths belong to one church denomination. Each one has their doctrinal truths and falshoods as well. One falshood cannot make them a cult. This is very sad for all the churches because it is all about the One Body of Christ. Remember that Jesus considers all the seven churches of Rev. 2 & 3 as His own, and believes He has true followers from them all, even though some of the seven churches practices false teachings and works. The Gospel is about the Righteousness of God from the beginning to end. Central to it is the Salvation and Restoration Plan of God through His Son Jesus. Jesus will come down from the clouds to resurrect the Dead in Christ and snatch up the Alive in Christ. Jesus will come and visit the Dead in Hades to minister and Preach to them. Jesus will sit in the Ark of the Covenant at the White Throne Judgment to give the final sentence for the Dead. So the Scripture is consistent and true from beginning to end: - Everyone who will call on the name of Jesus will be saved. - Everyone who will argue arrogantly wirh Jesus,, " did we not prophesy, did we not cast out demons,..." will not be saved or may have a chance if they repent in the outer darkness. - No other name was given in Heaven and on Earth in which one can be saved, the Name is Jesus. And yes, all the more that we should preach the Gospel in its entirety and completeness, not just the Gospel..."If we confess in your mouth that Jesus is Lord..."

Weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth is referring to the extreme immense pain of the lake of fire! That's what I always thought Jesus was referring to when he stated that.

[@freespirit7450]

Umm no

[@JohnDavis_90]

Facts. Idk what this guy is talking about. Gnashing teeth when you are under extreme pain.

[@Golden_Teacher]

I've found recently that preachers and Christians have relegated this phrase to a mere scolding of disobedient Christians by Jesus when He returns and gives them a good telling off. That doesn't add up for me. If all we had to worry about was getting a ticking off from Jesus then so what? What's the big deal?

[@Mr2LEGiTTT]

Lamborghini mercy lead me here.

What if it’s the demonic entities in hell biting and eating the people who are in hell?

Then get out

[@bullheadedoldtimer1256]

The weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth is from the flames of hell, not from anger and, self pity and self-righteousness.

[@ricklannoye4374]

HOW CAN A PERSON'S TEETH CHATTER, AS WHEN IT'S REALLY COLD, BUT IN HELL??? There are a LOT of very bad interpretations of things said in the Bible, but one of the worst ones is the idiotic idea that people in Hell are going to "weep and gnash their teeth!" Where to begin? OK, well how about we start with the fact that no one ever just cries when they are burning alive!!! Crying ("weeping") is what you doe when you're very sad or disappointed or maybe even depressed...but that is NOT what you do when you're entire body is on fire! No, you scream at the top of your lungs and you're no shedding tears because they would be immediately evaporated! Secondly, "gnashing teeth" is just old English for "chattering teeth" the involuntary reaction of the human body to...wait for it...being REALLY COLD!!! Again, not what happens when you're burning alive! OK, so if there are some places in the Bible where it says some guys are going to be crying uncontrollably and their teeth are chattering, what is it actually talking about? Well, the biblical expression, "And there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth," is referring to great amount of DISAPPOINTMENT some people are going to experience on the day when, as most of the Jews in Jesus' day believed, the Messiah would come to set up a new, independent Jewish nation and, when he decides who is going to be a citizen in that kingdom, there are going to be some very religious people who will end up where they anticipated! Now, getting citizenship in the EARTHLY, ETERNAL, Messianic, Kingdom of God was thought to be a REWARD! Conversely, if someone did not get citizenship right away, it would not be a punishment, per se! To not be rewarded with citizenship upon the coming of the Messiah, followed by the huge Messianic Court hearing to decide who gets in and who doesn't would, however, be a BIG DISSAPOINTMENT for those ultra-religious people who anticipated their religiosity was sure to get them, not only citizenship, but many other rewards, like the best jobs in the new government and some awesome villas to go with them! So, when they see all their superficial good works "burn up" and the Messiah says to them, you're going to have to leave now or to be "sent out into the cold," as it were, it was imagined their teeth will begin gnashing (chattering) as they cry uncontrollably...knowing that "sinners and publicans" are going to, eventually, get their citizenship before they do! All the stuff about a Hell and an Lake of Fire in some spirit world after death was a myth that only later, Greco-Roman pagan converts to Christianity came up with after they completely misunderstood what the majority of the Jewish believers in Jesus thought was going to happen upon Jesus' Return as the Messiah--a Judgement "Fire" that would, metaphorically speaking, "burn up" all the fake good works of the superficially religious...which they took to mean a literal burning of those PEOPLE instead of the WORKS they did in their previous lifetimes.
