Lake of fire
Post #1It is a first class human tragedy that people of the earth who claim to believe in the message of Jesus, whom they describe as the Prince of Peace, show little of that belief in actual practice.

Re: Lake of fire
Post #153The original words were addressed to the King of Tyre, there is no indication in the bible that one died by fire. The verse has been symbolically applied to Satan the devil. Satan will be cast in the the symbolic "lake of fire" which represents his (Satan's) complete and everlasting destruction.
