I wonder if is possible that the reason why the Jews didn't bother asking Lazarus what it was like to be dead because they already knew what it was like to be dead because of what Solomon said about what it was like to be dead. - Ecclesiastes 9:5,10

Bart,

I would have asked Lazarus if Solomon got it right when he said that when we die we go to "Sheol" or"Hades" where there is "no work, nor devising nor knowledge or wisdom" because "the dead are conscious of nothing at all." - Ecceliastes (9:5,10)

What Would You Have Asked Lazarus?

I have wondered why the Bible doesn't mention anyone asking Lazarus what happened to him during those three days he was dead. After all, that was not just a near -death experience. It was an real -death experience. One of the great mysteries of life has always been, "What really happens when we...

Hi FFC, I had said that I understood that when Revelation 20:14 says that death and Hades will be thrown into the lake of fire that it meant that death and Hades will be put out of existence. You then said… Yes , I thought I was expressing the same thought when I said: “After the final great white j...

Hi again FFC, I asked... What do you understand is meant when Rev. 20:14 says that "death and Hades were hurled into the lake of fire"? You answered... After the final great white judgement and all is said and done by God, all who are dead in their sins and waiting in Hades are sent to the...

Hi FFC, You said... The fact is that whether we like it or not God can do anything He wants with His creations because they belong to Him. We humans don't have that right. I have to agree. Question: What do you (or anyone else) understand is meant when Rev. 20:14 says that "death and Hades were...

Bart, You said… You've been given an entire article with multiple citations of Scripture. I don't expect a point by point dissertation, but surely you can interact and provide either a challenge where you believe the Scripture presented to you is either out of context or misunderstood? Again Bart, I...

Hi again Bart, You said to me... Please respond and interact with what you've been given. I thought that's what I was doing. For example, I took the first statement in the material you sent about the Bible offering the choice between "heaven and hell." I said that what I had only seen wher...

Heaven and Hell or Everlasting Life and Death

Bart, You said... This page will examine what the Bible says about hell and what it will be like. Contrary to the doctrines of Catholicism, there is no purgatory, but only the choice between heaven and hell . But from what I have seen in the Bible, the choice that it offers is not between heaven and...

Hi FCC, You said... The "Lake of fire" which from what I can ascertain from the scriptures, is the final abode of the wicked...including the devil and his angels. That's the way I understand it too. I assume this it the place of the "everlasting punishment" mentioned by Jesus at ...

Revelation 20:14

Bart, I had asked about the significance of the fact that the condition of death will eventually be thrown into the lake of fire. - Rev. 20:14 You explained... (Revelation 20:14) appears to indicate to me that...Death itself...(will evenually be) ended. If "the second death" brings an end ...

The Second Death

Hi Bart, You asked... What do you suppose the "Lake of Fire" into which it ("hades" or the KJ "hell" is cast is referring to? I have supposed that "the Lake of Fire" is referring to "the second death." - Rev. 20:14 I don't recall anyone saying that, ...

The Last Time Hell Is Mentioned In The Bible

Did you ever notice that the last time "Hell" is mentioned in the King James Bible it is empty. - Rev. 20:13,14
