#1622 O fogo do inferno é fogo mesmo? E o verme? Mario Persona

Your question is whether the fire that never goes out is real fire or if the Bible is just using a metaphor. I believe there is a very easy way to determine the nature of this fire, and that is by going to the origin of what the lake of fire is, sometimes translated as "hell" in some Bibles, and what God's intention was when He created such a place or condition. Jesus, in Matthew 25:41, answers this question: "Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.'" I am not a pastor, priest, or clergyman. I am not affiliated with any denomination or religious organization. I congregate only in the name of the Lord outside the denominational system, without temples, leaders, priests, tithes, and similar things. The ideas here are not originally mine, but are the fruit of what I have learned from the Word of God outside of denominational systems with brothers gathered in the name of the Lord, and also from authors of other eras who gathered in this way, such as J. G. Bellett, C. H. Brown, J. N. Darby, E. Dennett, W. W. Fereday, J. L. Harris, W. Kelly, C. H. Mackintosh, A. Miller, F. G. Patterson, A. J. Pollock, H. L. Rossier, H. Smith, C. Stanley, W. Trotter, G. V. Wigram, and many others.
