Is there a place in the Bible where it is written.....?

Question

"When there is no more room in hell, the dead will walk the earth"? And also, "Cleanliness is next to Godliness"?

Answer 1

Neither are in the Bible.

Good question...you get a star!

Answer 2

No where. However, Proverbs 27:20 says just the opposite of your first statement "Hell and destruction are never full;"

And all through the Bible it talks about how no unclean thing will enter the house of the Lord. This is where the phrase "Cleanliness is next to Godliness" came from.

Answer 3

No place in the Bible for hell not have any more because hell has been enlarged. Isaiah 5: 14 Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it. Cleaniness is next to Godiness is not found in the Bible.

Answer 4

nope. completely unscriptural

time and space do not exist in eternity, where Hell is

just a saying. poor people can still get to Heaven. it may have been a misreading of the verse "who shall ascend into the temple of the Lord, who shall enter His holy place? He that hath clean hands and a pure heart", which means "be holy, and don't commit sin"

Answer 5

Absolutely not. In all reality, there is not biblical equivalent for the word "hell." Aside from such words as "destruction, judgment," etc, the only words which really designate a name to the place we commonly think of as "Hell" would be the word "gehenna," which was really a Greek transliteration for the Valley of Hinnom, a valley below Jerusalem where Jews of early Rabbinic Judaism would put there trash, etc. There is also a reference in 2 Peter to a place called "tartarus," which was a common Greek word for the place spirits go after death, usually with negative connotation. The author of 2 Peter was, of course, not using this word in the Greek sense, but rather, was using it in order to describe a place of darkness and pain. These would be the only words one ascribe to as "hell" (and some translations translate as such).

There is a somewhat common misconception that the word "hades" means hell, but really, this is not true. "Hades," a Greek loan word used to describe what the Hebrews thought of as "Sheol," was actually a name for the "abode of the death," and so in verse like those found in Matthew 16 where this word is used (also in Revelation), when this word is used, it should be understood as the equivalent to Death (i.e. the power of death, from which Christians believe they are saved from through Christ).

Not surprisingly, there is very little actually taught in the New Testament about the doctrine of Hell; mostly that it is a place of judgment and is a terrifying consequence for not aligning oneself with Messiah Jesus. However, there is not much in the way of saying what hell is like as a setting, "where" it is (this particular question probably contains a categorical error), and what being there will actually be like in any substantial sense. It is described, mostly in the teachings of Jesus, as being a place of agony and despair. But teachings about "hell" so to speak in the New Testament regard it very little in the way of "enlightening description;" rather, they talk about the more important aspects of hell's reality as a place where those who are in opposition to God will go for punishment.

Hell is a misunderstood doctrine, and generally met with disdain or disgust in these times. And in some sense, that reaction will never be done away with fully, because it involves authority, extreme punishment, and ultimately, pain. This does not ring well to our Western Existentialist Individualistic ears, and so many reject the idea of God (or, at any rate, the Christian tradition of God) on the basis of this Christian belief. And it is a fairly unique belief among other religions of the world. However, in the New Testament, hell (which should be better described as God's Wrath) was seen as a redeeming agent for the world.

There are things that make us angry and indignant. Child molestation, rape, murder, starvation and famine, stealing, and the like, these things make us upset, and we have a feeling like "that's not right," and "something should be done about that!" True enough. In the New Testament, the authors thought and expressed this same sentiment. And they saw this world as being filled with these injustices because something in humanity had gone horribly wrong. It was broken, marred in some way, and they traced this back to the Fall, at the beginning of the Hebrew Scriptures.

They also saw God's Wrath as the remedy of these things. It was God's Wrath and judgment which would actually put these things to right once and for all, a desire that resonants so deeply within our soul. And "hell" is part of that remedy. Hell is a place of destruction for people who perpetuate the brokeness of the world.

However, in the Christian belief, and in the New Testament, the authors saw themselves as part of the group perpetuating the brokeness and injustice. They saw themselves, and all of humanity as well, as part of the problem. This is why, in Jesus Christ, they took salvation as such a blessing. They saw Jesus as God's offered alternative to destruction; rather, it was an offer to be remade into something right and clean and pure, rather than be destroyed. The idea is, either way, God's gonna make the world right again. And He's offered a way for people to be a part of that. But if you refuse to be apart of his peaceful remedy in Jesus Christ, you will be destroyed, because either way, God's setting things right and dealing with the problem of brokeness. This is the New Testament belief. And this was the message of first century Christians.

This is hardly the place for a dissertation on the doctrine of hell, but that is at least a peak at how the New Testament worldview about "hell" works. Their plea was to be on the side that would be redeemed when the King Jesus came back to set things right, not destroyed.

As far as cleanliness, that particular proverb does not even come close to the biblical understanding of the word "clean," especially in its Jewish context. No such verse exists in the Bible for either of those statements. There is no room for such nonsense.
