49 For everyone will be salted with fire, and every sacrifice will be salted with salt.

Well what is the fire?

Heb 12:29  for our God is a consuming fire.

What will we become when we are born into the kingdom.

1Jo 3:2  Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be. But we know that when He shall be revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.

The torment will only last for the period of time that there is anything inside of us, that is not pure.  When you are totally purged and cleansed, you will be brought into the God family, you will be spirit.
Those in the first resurrection will judge the world the same way that God does, with their consuming fire.

Rev 20:4  And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them....And they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

Isa 66:16  For by fire and by His sword Jehovah will execute judgment with all flesh;

Luk 12:49  "I came to cast fire on the earth, and would that it were already kindled!


mercy, peace, and love

In response to the fire not being quenched, this fire spoken of in revelations and other parts of the Bible is the holy spirit of God. I sure do hope it is never quenched. When Hay or wood (i.e. Sin) is passed through this fire (i.e. holy spirit of God) it is burned off but when gold or silver (i.e. Love, good works) is passed through this fire (i.e. holy spirit of God) then it is refined.

1Corinthians 3:12-13  Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 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.

The fire is not dependent on whether it has fuel to keep it going, the fire is self sufficient as God is self sufficient, because God is the Consuming fire ( see Hebrews 12:29). And He will consume all sin and death Himself to destroy it utterly because God and sin cannot co-exist forever. That is why the idea of everlasting hell is absurd. God will NOT allow sin to exist forever and as long as there is hell there is sin. I hope this makes sense.

In Christ,

Hi FE32k

You said: "The fire is not dependent on whether it has fuel to keep it going, the fire is self sufficient as God is self sufficient, because God is the Consuming fire ( see Hebrews 12:29).

Perhaps we are getting lost in semantics :)

I have no problem with what you say, in fact I believe we are saying the same thing, but differently. :)

Thank you for bringing this up. :)

Love to you in Christ,

Hi all,

Rev 18:20 says "...Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged, you on her..." (KJV)

(LITV) "...Rejoice over her, Heaven, and the holy apostles, and the prophets, because God judged your judgment on her..."

(YLT) "...Be glad over her, O heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets, because God did judge your judgment of her!'..."

...Be glad :-), rejoice :-), because it's done and over. How wrong must your love be, to rejoice while others are damned forever? Love will rejoice when all is purged :-)

Walk strong :-)
