is there a lake of fire ?

If you have the Scriptures, use them to back up what you say!

 

Please go back to #193. It wasn't far back.

 

FHG,

Some of this material you've taken directly from the Wikipedia article on Gehenna. I urge you not to do this, without giving credit to the source. Otherwise, it's plagiarism - stealing another's ideas.

Ty Oz,
Below is the only part that I took from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gehenna and did search the scriptures given to confirm what was written was right. The rest is my own study and writing.
The oldest historical reference to the valley is found in Joshua 15:8, 18:16 which describe tribal boundaries. The next chronological reference to the valley is at the time of King Ahaz of Judah who sacrificed his sons there according to 2 Chron. 28:3. Isaiah does not mention Gehenna by name, but the burning place, Isaiah 30:33 in which the Assyrian army are to be destroyed, may be read Topheth, and the final verse of Isaiah which concerns the corpses of the same or a similar battle, Isaiah 66:24 , where their worm does not die.

 

Yes, but it is still plagiarism when you take another person's ideas and include them as your own. I urge you to give credit for your direct quotes.

If someone else writes better than I on a biblical topic, I use direct quotes, but give credit to the writer.
