08/24/08 - Is there really a place called hell?
Matt 23:14 (some Bibles skip this verse – vrs. 13 then vrs 15)

King
James Version
14 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long
prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.
Greater damnation is the problem with some denominations
- infers that there is lesser damnation
……Infers there are matter of
degrees in hell
Matthew
5:22
But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother
without a cause[b] shall be in danger of the judgment. And
whoever says to his brother, ‘Raca!’ shall be in
danger of the council. But whoever says, ‘You fool!’ shall be in danger of hell
fire.
2 Thessalonians 1
8 in flaming fire, bringing
judgment on those who don’t know God and on those who refuse to obey the Good
News of our Lord Jesus.
Matthew 13

Matthew
5:30

The wicked bought a one-way ticket to hell. No longer will the poor be
nameless— no more humiliation for the humble. Up, God! Aren't you fed up with
their empty strutting? Expose these grand pretensions!
Proverbs
27:20
20 Hell[a] and Destruction[b] are never full; So
the eyes of man are never satisfied.
Luke 16:2
23 And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw
Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
