Theological Bible Message-Theology of Hell

For today's lesson we will be focusing on Hell. I know this is a very
touchy subject, and one that should be a esential resource for many.
This study, like all my studies are merely introductions to the subject.
Many, many books have been written on Hell, and I can only begin to
comment on the subject. I am by no means am a bible scholar (at least
not yet) and for more detail one should always check out a book or
theological journal.



A good Theological resource that I've used a half dozen times in the
Theology papers that I wrote at Simpson is the Journal of the
Evangelical theological society. They probably have a website that you
can check out to order their books. But each journal article is written
by bible and theology scholars.

I will be using the following resources for this topic.

Hell is a place that is not really talked about much in the bible for
reasons unknown. But the image that most have of hell did not come from
the bible, but from Dante's Inferno work. Although those with a NDE do
account some accuricies in the Inferno work, no one knows for sure how
acurate are the stories of those with a NDE. One thing the bible does
make clear is that Hell is where all unbelievers will spend eternity
seperated from God. Hell is where you will find Hitler, Judas, Joseph
Smith, and the countless of other souls that will go there after they
die. Unfortunately it may also be where Steve Winter and Bible Bob go
to if they do not repent and accept Jesus as Lord, God, second person in
the Holy Trinity, savior, sanctifier, redeemer and coming King.



In the New testament most references to Hell are found in the 3 synoptic
gospels. In Literature of the NT we were taught that the synoptics were
Matt, Mark, and Luke, because they were all seen with the same eye and
had very similiar accounts in the three works. I believe the best
reference to Hell would be in Luke 16:19-31 which is below.



New International Version

[Lk 16:19] "Now there was a rich man, and he habitually dressed in
purple and fine linen, joyously living in splendor every day.

[20] "And a poor man named Lazarus was laid at his gate, covered with
sores,
