Amen to all posts!
our God is "a consuming fire"...and He Himself will be "the Lake of Fire" to purge ALL from flesh (sin) into Spirit (sinless)
1Co 3:13
Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
1Co 3:15
If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
Heb 12:29
For our God is a consuming fire.
Re 3:18
I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
While looking up these verses I realised something...believers of ET many times refer to the verse below to "prove" that "hell is real"....
Mr 9:48
Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
what I just realised is this:
what do worms eat? they eat flesh
who is the fire? God is the fire
so...in the Lake of Fire all not destined for the first resurrection will be stripped of all fleshy things (ie sin) by the purification process of the Fire, which is our God
the unsavioury works will be burnt...but the man will be saved!
Halleluja! Amen!
