OK - this is the best, as from a Monty Python sketch
quote:
John: I’ll ask you a rhetorical question, and then I’ll answer you.
Fred: Do you believe that verse?
John: I believe all the verses of the Bible, but I want to ask you something.
Fred: They’re being tormented with fire and brimstone….
John: Hell, the Bible says, is fire and darkness. How did that go together…
Fred: No, the Bible says it’s torment with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels….
John: It also says it’s outer darkness.
Fred: …in the presence of the holy angels and the presence of the lamb.
John: It also says it’s outer darkness.
Fred: And that the smoke of their torment ascendeth up forever and ever.
John: You’re right, but it also says it’s outer darkness.
Fred: And that they have no rest, day or night, gnawing their tongues with pain and blaspheming God.
John: Is it also outer darkness, in Jesus’ words?
Fred: And that too.
John: So how did darkness and fire go together?
Fred: And you say that that is evidence of the love of God?
John: I asked you a question.
Fred: He loves those people?
John: Talk about not answering questions. How does fire and darkness go together?
Fred: And I’ll tell you the answer to that. It’s found in Second Thessalonians chapter one, where it is said plainly, to you who are troubled, rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven in flaming fire, with all his mighty angels, did you read about that verse?
John: That’s not the fire of hell.
Fred: All his mighty angels, to punish them with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his power. That’s the answer to that question.
John: Can fire and darkness exist side by side?
Fred: The Lord Jesus Christ is personally administering the punishment, in the presence of the holy angels. |
