Re: Re: sorry -- the word hell does appear there
here is the purpose of the flames
1Cr 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. |
to save a person, not to punish.

Re: Ah! Laxarus and the Rich man.

sorry -- the word hell does appear there
Hades --- the grave.
1) name Hades or Pluto, the god of the lower regions
2) Orcus, the nether world, the realm of the dead
3) later use of this word: the grave, death, hell
I hope you notice the Greco-Roman mythological root here.

Ah! Laxarus and the Rich man.
a parable
Lazarus = Eliezer, Abraham's servant, left out of the promises.
The Rich Man = the Jews -- those who thought they were spiritually rich.
They discovered differently.
But there is only mention of torment -- and fire (see THE ECCLESIASTE for my latest discourse on this) -- but no Hell -- the word does not appear in Luke 16. It is just assumed.
Hell is a medieval concoction -- created out of Greek mythology.
