Isaiah 33:14-16 14 The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings? 15 He that awalketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil; 16 He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure. According to this, eternal burning sounds like something the righteous would want. What science cannot declare, art can suggest; what art suggests silently, poetry speaks aloud; but what poetry fails to explain in words, music can express. - Hazrat Inayat Khan |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1468685 The Metaphor …is defined as an indirect comparison between two or more seemingly unrelated subjects that typically uses "is a" to join the first subjects. Shakespeare: “All the world’s a stage…” Oh, really, but the Bible is not allowed to use this literary device to explain the Truth's of God? Prejudice a little perhaps? Yes, they were smarter than y'all. Oh and by the way, there were no cavemen. |
