question for atty barrister....
did Christ ever speak about hell as in dagat dagatang impyerno?
what i remember him say was, "from now on you will be with me in paradise" or "in my father's house there are many rooms...."
Hindi dagat-dagatang impiyerno. Ang tama ay "dagat-dagatang apoy."
Yes, maraming tinurong "hell" si Jesus Christ.
If you mean word-for word na sinabi ni Kristo na "dagat-dagatang apoy," wala. Pero yun na nga ang "hell" na sinasabi Niya, hindi lang word-for-word.
==================================
Kung letra-por-letra na "dagat-dagatang apoy" (lake of fire), sa Revelation lang makikita yon, mentioned several times. For example:
14 Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. 15 Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire. (Rev. 20:14-15) ==================================
Marami kang maririnig, ang sabi, "we are already in hell on this earth."
Kung iyon ang paniniwala nila, ok lang sa akin. Pero wag nilang sabihin na ganon ang teaching sa bible, kasi malayong-malayo iyon sa bible teachings. Para masabi nilang nasa impiyerno na tayo ngayon, kailangang itapon muna nila ang bibliya, kasi hindi magtutugma iyon...
Did Jesus teach about hell in that parable?
Siyempre naman. In fact, in the bible, it was Jesus Christ who taught about hell more often than anyone else.
For example:
43 If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go into hell, where the fire never goes out. 45 And if your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than to have two feet and be thrown into hell. 47 And if your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell, 48 where “‘the worms that eat them do not die, and the fire is not quenched.’ (Mark 9:43-48)
You are familiar with the story of Lazarus and the rich man. That was a parable, not an actual event. What did Jesus teach about hell?
1. There is fire in hell.
2. Man has been sufficiently warned about hell.
3. It is impossible to cross over from hell to heaven and vice-versa.
4. In hell, it is too late for forgiveness.
===================================
You might be surprised, but hell is a very advanced topic in the bible. Many think it's a topic easy enough for children to comprehend, but that's not true.
I'll give you a brief rundown, just to introduce you to the topic:
- The original words in the bible translated into English as "hell" are Hades, Sheol, Gehenna, and Tatarus.
- Hades and Sheol are Greek and Hebrew respectively, which mean a grave or burial site.
- Gehenna is Aramaic, which means "Valley of Hinnom," a garbage dump site where the garbage burns non-stop (because there's always new garbage being dumped in). Worms (maggots) are present, because it's a garbage dump.
- Tartarus is Greek, which means a condition of imprisonment of the fallen angels.
- When Jesus mentioned the word hell, He used the word "Gehenna."
