John 15:2a is usually understood as being about unproductive branches being removed, but some propose a new way of interpreting this phrase.
In part 2 I look at Bible verses that refer to a future judgement involving eternal elements including fire. Do these verses speak of eternal conscious torment for the unrepentant?
Paul never mentions Gehenna (“hell”) in his letters. James mentions it once. Jesus mentions it several times. Is it a real place? Is it a place of torment for people?
Does weeping and gnashing of teeth go on for eternity? Was Lazarus in hell? Where is Tartarus?
Would you like to support my ministry of encouraging mutuality and equality between men and women in the church and in marriage?
