If you open your eyes, you will see it is not about burning people in order to "purge" them.

I believe in Jesus Christ, and yes, it is enough.

Good luck with your beliefs that you have earned your way out of the flames.

Actually if you are right . . . I have a kind of Pascal's wager . . . since I believe in Jesus Christ AND follow His instructions to His disciples.

There you go again with your literal eyes. You really do believe literal flesh is going to burn in heaven. You really have answered all my questions i have asked you with this post . No further question about hell fire and where unbelievers go from me.

Dare i say who is up next

You are the one talking about people in flames, not me I specifically said 1 Cor 3 does NOT talk about people in fire (any kind of fire).

Don't worry, no more questions from me about your beliefs in hell fire,you have answered all my questions in one post. Like i have always said, the day always declares it

So, What does it mean by those who have lost their reward will pass through the fire ?.

if of any the work is burned up, he shall suffer loss; and himself shall be saved, but so as through fire. 1 Cor 3:15

I simply pointed out the fact that you misrepresented what I had said. It is too bad you find it too hard to admit it.

But, you still refuse to tell us what that 1 Corinthians 3:15 bible verse means if it doesn't mean what is being said to you it means. You cannot just say it doesn't mean that without telling us why. How could you be taken seriously if you don't.

1 Cor 3:15
1 Corinthians 3:11-15
For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.

If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw,
their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light.

It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work.

If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward.

If it is burned up, the builder will suffer loss but yet will be saved—even though only as one escaping through the flames.


The point of what Paul was saying was “Be careful how you build!” ... in other words the more theologically sound one is, the finer of material you are. Gold being finest - hay or straw the worst but still enough to escape being damned to hell.
