Christians: Where in the New Testament does an apostle preach to non-believers and threaten them with hell?

Question

Cite a verse or two if you are able.

AznDonut: Cite a verse or two if you are able.

But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

Revelations 21:8

This is not in the context of an apostle preaching to a non-believing audience. It is, rather, John writing about the end times.

I appreciate these answers, but they are either Jesus or an apostle debating with the Jews. The question I was interested in was a specific case of an apostle preaching to non-believers (e.g. the Greeks) and threatening them with hell.

Answer 1

Nowhere at all. It is not mentioned in the book of Acts. It is not mentioned in any of the Letters written by Paul, Peter, James or John. In the book of Revelation John saw the Lake of Fire, but he didn't call it Hell. He saw an Angel ( not an Apostle) warn People not to worship the beast or that would be their fate.

Jesus never mentioned hell. The word he spoke was Gehenna. It was a place where garbage was burned. He spoke of it as a symbol of the fire of His Judgment. At other times He talked of a place where ther would be "weeping and gnashing of teeth" but He never identified that place and he did not say the weeping would last forever.


By the way, Hell is not eternal. The Bibles which say so are mistranslated. For example. It says the ones who worship the beast will have torment which lasts "eis aionas aionon" That should be translated "ages of ages" This indicates a long but limited time which is not "forever and ever", the redundant phrase which is in most Bibles.

Jesus said the fire of Gehenna is "age abiding" or "age lasting". That is how it should read in Matthew 18:8 not "eternal". Lasting the age is a limited amount of time. Unfortunately a lot of Christians don't know about these mistranslations and think Hell is Forever. It is not.

But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

Revelations 21:8

Not a Christian, but I thought I'd look this up for you anyway.

Answer 3

Paul, preaching in the synagogue at Pisidian Antioch, after preaching Christ, closed his message on this note:
"Take care that what the prophets have said does not happen to you:
" 'Look, you scoffers,
wonder and perish,
for I am going to do something in your days
that you would never believe,
even if someone told you.' "
Acts 13:40,41

For additional consideration refer to Acts 17:30,31; Acts 24:25; Philippians 3:18,19 and II Thessalonians 1:6-9

Your analogy isn't apt. enable's try it this way: You: The bomb is falling on Oct.18th, all human beings evacuate. human beings rush around like loopy, yet they evacuate the section in time. Then the bomb fails to drop. After the bomb scare, that's what you'll be able to declare: You: properly, no guy might understand the hour or the day, yet have faith me, that bomb is going to drop quickly. Evacuate. Others: Yeah, yeah, that's what you suggested final time. Wacko. You: do no longer scoff like the sinners scoffed at Noah. some time is coming. Others: whilst? You: 2012, some think of. Others: Yeah yeah, that's what you suggested approximately 2000. in certainty, have not you human beings been waiting for this bomb for 2000 years, from the time the bomb replace into first lifted interior the heavens above us. You: i'm attempting to maintain you out of affection. Others: And what if we don't choose to be saved? what's going to take place? You: properly, i'm going to save attempting to convince you, even to the factor of actually getting into your face approximately it, yet have faith me, that's to your man or woman good.
