Guest Mark Alexander Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 How can Hell be outer darkness and the lake of fire????? Mark Mat 22:13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast [him] into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Rev 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are attempting to describe something beyond our understanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shows that the invitations went out to people who were close to the couple gatting married but they were to busy with what God gave them to come to the wedding. The word darkness here has to be opposite that The light of jesus. It is often used as spiritual darkness due to error, impling ignorance. It is to restrain and stop. It is not the same place. patricia1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. Hell is not mentioned in either scripture, so your answer is that it can not be. Hell, or Hades, will be cast into the lake of fire, along with Death. Revelation 20:13-15 (New King James Version) The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. 14 Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15 And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire. As for Outer Darkness, I agree that it is the opposite of being in the Light, which is in Christ. OneLight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark, have you ever been in a building that is fully engulfed in flames? the flames are bright and lots of light for those not in it..... the interier of the building is BLACK.... pitch black, no light..... during fire fighting training, we would have our masks blackened out to simulate being in a fully engulfed building..... YOU CAN NOT SEE ANYTHING ON THE INSIDE OF A FIRE...... mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks yea, most people think that you are able to see great in a fire (a hollywood thing).... it is not like that.... and now days, most fire fighters do not go into a burning building unless it is needed to bring a person out, they will fight the fire from the outside in, not the inside out... by doing this, they have saved many firefighters lives by not placing them inside a building that could fall at any given time...... firefighting has taken on a new look from years ago.... anyways, it is not fun inside....... mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
