DAVEH: Quite the contrary. As I view it, hell is the physical separation from God and his love. The effect of such separation is similar to how it would feel if you were cast into the burning garbage dump of Jerusalem, except its effect would last forever. Are you saying then that it is not a place? DAVEH: No, I did not say that. If heaven is located in a place, then heaven is located in a place other than where heaven is located. So yes, hell is a place.a place where God does not reside, nor does his love emanate. It is not physical? DAVEH: Yes, it is a physical place, but the description of the lake of fire and brimstone is symbolic representation of how folks will feel who end up there. I do not believe people will literally be cast into a burning lake of fire and brimstone. That is imagery, IMHO. If this literal Hell you speak of is not a place, DAVEH: Since I do believe it is a place, the remaining questions seem irrelevant. Now that I've satisfied your curiosity Kevin, let me now ask where you think the literal burning pit (hell) will be located? Kevin Deegan wrote: I am sorry I did think from previous encounters that you believed there was no literal Hell. Are you saying then that it is not a place? It is not physical?

John Polkinghorne (See his newest: 'Science and The Trinity - The Christian Encounter with Reality' 2004 2. Alexei V. Nesteruk 'Light from the East - Theology, Science, and the Eastern Orthodox Tradition'2003. Should you actually check 'em out, you'll see competence in both disciplines. 5. Once again I'll name but two; Thomas V. Morris 'The Logic of God Incarnate', 1986 2.

The only time I had looked into it was several years ago in response to TTers questioning me about it, and at that time I only looked at Bible passages that were posted. Perhaps it was you Kevin, I don't recall. Back then, I had only examined a number of Biblical passages to come to deter mine that those who mentioned hell in the Bible were doing so symbolically when they used the imagery of the burning trash pit of Jerusalem to reflect how one who does not go to heaven will feel. Posting the below passages from other sources reaffirms the same conclusion. Kevin Deegan wrote: Then according to your own book you have been decieved by the Devil into thinking there is No literal Hell Dave Hansen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: DAVEH: You've surprised me, Kevin! I thought you'd want to defend your position using material favorable to your perspective...namely, the Bible. But that is OK, as the LDS sources you've quoted plainly sh ow the symbolism of the terms used to describe hell. Why you would quote some of them somewhat surprises me, as they succinctly show that distinction. I'll take each passage you quoted

Re: [TruthTalk] Hell BoM - confounded LDS
You are not doing what the early church didDM brings up a great point. Since the LDS are a RESTORATION of the Early Church, why are you are not doing what the early church did?I checked the word CONFOUND and it seems to be the Spirit of God come upon the characters in the BoM etc. Yet it is evidenced today by a complete reversal being that the LDS are confounded and speak not a word in Salt Lake City! And all this while the LDS are Commanded to confound us PUBLICLY! DC 71 Wherefore, confound your enemies; call upon them to meet you both in public and in private; and inasmuch as ye are faithful their shame shall be made manifest.Wherefore, let them bring forth their strong reasons against the Lord.9Verily, thus saith the Lord unto youthere is no weapon that is formed against you shall prosper;10And if any man lift his voice against you he shall be confoundedThe tables have been turned! The SP's call the LDS shudder!ARE THESE TRUE? 1 Ne 17 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, said many things unto my brethren, insomuch that they were confounded and could not contend against meJacob 1 The words of his preaching unto his brethren. He confoundeth a man who seeketh to overthrow the doctrine of ChristJacob 7:8 But behold, the Lord God poured in his Spirit into my soul, insomuch that I did confound him in all his words. Mosiah 1219 And they began to question him, that they might cross him, that thereby they might have wherewith to accuse him; but he answered them boldly, and withstood all their questions, yea, to their astonishment; for he did withstand them in all their questions, and did confound them in all their words.Where are the GREAT LDS Preachers? Hel. 5:1717And it came to pass that they did preach with great power, insomuch that they did confound many of those dissenters who had gone over from the Nephites, insomuch that they came forth and did confess their sins and were baptized unto repentance, and immediately returned to the Nephites to endeavor to repair unto them the wrongs which they had done. Since the LDS god could not find any Men you would think he could at least find some Women or Children? Does this mean Missionary BOYS? Where are they? ; ) Alma 32:23 And now, he imparteth his word by angels unto men, yea, not only men but women also.

Re: [TruthTalk] Hell BoM
So let's just throw it all out since noone can know what is true and what is not anyway? I can see where you get this idea since your mentor writes: Justification means that at every point in our theological inquiry we have to let our knowledge, our theology, our formulations, our statements, be called into question by the very Christ toward whom they point, for He alone is the Truth. Justification means that our theological statements are of such a kind that they do not claim to have truth in themselves, for by their very nature they point away from themselves to Christ as the one Truth of God. Therefore whenever we claim that our theological statements or our formulations have their truth in themselves we are turning back into the way of self-justification. Out of sheer respect for the majesty of the Truth as it is revealed in the Holy Scriptures, we have to do our utmost to speak correctly and exactly about itthat is the meaning of orthodoxy and the way of humilitybut when we have done all this, we have still to confess that we are unfaithful servants, that all our efforts fall far short of the truth. My question then is: Is there no victory? Are we just to be passive, grovel and cringe since we are so impotent and can't know anything? Who are the "good and faithful servants who enter into His Rest?" Who are those spoken of in Luke 16:16 who press into the Kingdom. This is not a passive thing, it is pressing oneself in with energy.

Lance, I don't know what you are talking about. We do have a failure to communicate here. 1. Heb. 11 isn't meant to be case closed, just helpful. 2. I don't know who Hobart Freeman is, or his legacy. 3. I am familiar a little with E.W. Kenyon. No, I am not one of his offspring. 4. Exposing myself to believing scientists? I'm not sure what you mean by exposing myself. I have engaged many believing scientists about this. What I'm really more interested in are theologians. The few I have engaged can't handle the science side, and generally they plead ignorance in our discussion, falling back on I'm a theologian... sorry... Would I expose myself to scientists and theologians? Of course. Your question seems nonsensical. 5. Real logicians? Of course I would welcome that. I could be wrong, but as best I can tell, in theological circles, there appear to be biases expressed against concepts like rationalism and dualism and reductionism etc. You seem to try and operate in line with those biases without really understanding the reasoning behind the criticisms leveled against the ideas expressed by these words.

No surprise. jd -- Original message -- From: "David Miller" [EMAIL PROTECTED] What this reminds me of is when the Pharisees complained about Jesus healing on the Sabbath. My daughter is healed now, and she is happy, I'm happy, my wife is happy, everybody is happy except for these 3 people who came together and talked about how disturbing my post to TT was about it. At this same time, Dean sent me a post complaining about my testimony concerning childbearing, not using doctors and believing God for painless childbirth. I don't know if I will ever understand how others cannot simply rejoice with me when God is so good.

Re: [TruthTalk] Hell BoM
Unitarians, of course, have beliefs. Here is a definition of sectarian that allows many to escape the curse of "Sectarian !!" Sectarianism refers (usually pejoratively) to a rigid adherence to a particular sect or party or denomination. It often implies discrimination, denunciation, or violence against those outside the sect. The term is most often used to refer to religious sectarianism, involving conflict between members of different religions or denominations of the same religion. It is also frequently used to refer to political sectarianism, generally on the part of a tight-knit political faction or party. Sectarianism may, in the abstract, be characterized by dogmatism and inflexibility; sentimental or axiomatic adherence to an idea, belief or tradition; and idealism that provides a sense of continuity, orientation, and certainty.

You might plead lack of intelligence or that the Holy Spirit is not a rationalist or any number of things, but it is quite simple and true that if you do not keep the commandments, you are not in Christ. Here is the reason that you and I cannot understand one another concerning the characteristics of a believer in his apprehension of knowledge and truth. 1. Jesus in His "sermon on the mount" assumed that all in the crowd were evil ("If you being evil know how ...) Does this mean that the parents of John the B were not in the crowd?

Re: [TruthTalk] Hell BoM - confounded LDS
What does this say about the Power of Mormonism? DAVEH: I'd respond with..What does this say about the ability of Kevin to understand what he reads? As I said before, you seem to know a lot about LDS theology, but you seem to have a problem understanding it. I can only surmise that it is due to your anti-Mormon bias, Kevin. When you read the LDS material you post, do you ever take the time to try to understand it from the LDS perspective? It seems not, that you would rather take the words out of context and then use them to support your own way of thinking. That may impress some who are not aware of the context of what you quote, but for somebody who is well founded in LDS thinking, it only demonstrates your incapacity to understand truth. Your ability to search, read, copy and paste is not in question, Kevin. But you frequently seem to lack a fundamental understanding of what you are actually talking about. DC 71 is a good case that illustrates your lack of understanding. The section is short, so I will post the entire revelation.. THE DOCTRINE AND COVENANTS SECTION 71 Revelation given to Joseph Smith the Prophet and Sidney Rigdon, at Hiram, Ohio, December 1, 1831. HC 1: 238239. The Prophet had continued to translate the Bible with Sidney Rigdon as his scribe until this revelation was received, at which time it was temporarily laid aside so as to enable them to fulfill the instruction given herein. The brethren were to go forth to preach in order to allay the unfriendly feelings that had developed against the Church as a result of the publication of some newspaper articles by Ezra Booth, who had apostatized. 14, Joseph Smith and Sidney Rigdon are sent forth to proclaim the gospel; 511, Enemies of the saints shall be confounded. 1 BEHOLD, thus saith the Lord unto you my servants Joseph Smith, Jun., and Sidney Rigdon, that the time has verily come that it is necessary and expedient in me that you should open your mouths in proclaiming my gospel, the things of the kingdom, expounding the mysteries thereof out of the scriptures, according to that portion of Spirit and power which shall be given unto you, even as I will. 2 Verily I say unto you, proclaim unto the world in the regions round about, and in the church also, for the space of a season, even until it shall be made known unto you. 3 Verily this is a mission for a season, which I give unto you. 4 Wherefore, labor ye in my vineyard. Call upon the inhabitants of the earth, and bear record, and prepare the way for the commandments and revelations which are to come. 5 Now, behold this is wisdom; whoso readeth, let him understand and receive also; 6 For unto him that receiveth it shall be given more abundantly, even power. 7 Wherefore, confound your enemies; call upon them to meet you both in public and in private; and inasmuch as ye are faithful their shame shall be made manifest. 8 Wherefore, let them bring forth their strong reasons against the Lord. 9 Verily, thus saith the Lord unto youthere is no weapon that is formed against you shall prosper; 10 And if any man lift his voice against you he shall be confounded in mine own due time. 11 Wherefore, keep my commandments; they are true and faithful. Even so. Amen. ...Now Kevin, assuming you've read the above in its entirety, notice the introduction that explains that this is a Revelation given to Joseph Smith the Prophet and Sidney Rigdon. Note vs 5, Kevin... 5 Now, behold this is wisdom; whoso readeth, let him understand and receive also; ..Apparently you did not understand vs 8 ... Wherefore, let them bring forth their strong reasons against the Lord ..which is what happens in SLC during Conference times twice each year. Nor do you understand their shame shall be made manifest. .may refer to those who like the SPers who stand out along the street waving underwear. Vs 9.. there is no weapon that is formed against you shall prosper; ..I suspect the SPers waving the underwear profiteth little from their exercise in futility. if any man lift his voice against you he shall be confounded in mine own due time. .Do you understand what he shall be confounded in mine own due time means, Kevin? I would think you do, since when you quoted it. And if any man lift his voice against you he shall be confounded you conveniently left a pertinent part of that passagein mine own due time...off. Very telling, IMO. Kevin Deegan wrote: But Jesus did not have a command as in DC 71 COMMANDING him to confound. Why all the verses on confounding when to all observers it would seem that it is in reality the LDS who are confounded? Seems the LDS god has called and none have answered. Men women or children.

DAVEH: No, I don't do much preaching, and when I doI prefer to be more positive in my approach. David Miller wrote: Dave, for what it is worth, your view of hell is also shared by many Protestants. In fact, a very well known hell fire and brimestone preacher by the name of Jed Smock (www.brojed.org) believes about hell pretty much just like you do. Still, Jed will stand on campus and warn students loudly about "bur-r-r-n-n-ning in the la-a-a-ke of FI-I-I-R-R-E!" I was surprised the first time I learned that Jed believed the fire he preached was figurative. I'm curious about you. Do you ever warn people about the FIRE of hell? In other words, do you use this metaphor yourself to convey to people the danger of transgressing the commandments of God?

Re: [TruthTalk] Hell BoM
you have been decieved by the Devil DAVEH: I respectfully disagree with you on that, Kevin. Quite the contraryIn reality, I've been enlightened by a fellow TTer! I don't know why it is so difficult for you to understand my position on this, Kevin. I do believe in a literal hell.literally being separated from God. I just don't believe that those who reject Jesus will literally be cast into a lake of fire and brimstone, as many believe. Lacking the eternal love of the Lord, those who suffer such separation will eternally and forever suffer mental anguish at their shortsighted selfish decision to choose evil over good. Before you had brought these BoM and DC passages to my attention, I had never considered how latter-day scriptures handled this topic.

Perhaps it was you Kevin, I don't recall.

Re: [TruthTalk] Hell BoM
I am sorry I did think from previous encounters that you believed there was no "literal" Hell. Are you saying then that it is not a place? It is not physical? When someone uses the term Literal that is synonomous with physical, perhaps, therein lies the confusion.If this "literal" Hell you speak of is not a place, where will those that suffer this mental anguish be? Will they be neighbors of those that do not suffer? Can there be both joy sorrow in the same place? Will they be in a physical place?Dave Hansen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: you have been decieved by the DevilDAVEH: I respectfully disagree with you on that, Kevin.
