Do what it takes to stay out of hell ~ Cross reference of Mark 9:48 to Isaiah 66:24


In Mark 9:42, Jesus tells what needs to be done to a person who makes a believer in Jesus to stumble. Then he goes onto say how one should amputate the organ(s) [hand, leg & eye] that causes him to sin as it would be better for that person to get into heaven maimed rather than going to hell.

Jesus then gives the people a view of what hell will be like. Fortunately Mark does not make Jesus say that this is what will happen if you do not believe in me.

This post is not intended to offend anyone's faith but for those people who are Seeking the truth of THE ONE TRUE G-D of the universe to who we owe all our love, gratitude & devotion.

My encouragement to you is that you read the whole chapter of Tanakh that the Greek text quotes so you get the context and understand what G-d actually said.

G-d Bless and Seek THE Truth.

Mark 9:48 where “‘the worms that eat them do not die, and the fire is not quenched.’[d]

Isaiah 66:22 "For, as the new heavens and the new earth that I am making, stand before Me," says the Lord, "so shall your seed and your name stand. 23 And it shall be from new moon to new moon and from Sabbath to Sabbath, that all flesh shall come to prostrate themselves before Me," says the Lord. 24 "And they shall go out and see the corpses of the people who rebelled against Me, for their worm shall not die, and their fire shall not be quenched, and they shall be an abhorring for all flesh."
  • In Mark 9:48, Jesus uses Isaiah 66:24 to say what hell will be like. Jesus does not say anything about people who do not believe in him going to hell but on the contrary says that people who sin will go to hell.
  • I wonder why Jesus does not say "wait a bit longer and I will die for you but make sure you believe in me so you don't go to hell.
Since Mark made Jesus quote Isaiah 66:24, let us see what Isaiah 66 is all about.
  • Isaiah 66 is the last chapter of Isaiah. Here G-d is speaking about his awesomeness and how he created the every thing with his hands.
  • In verses 3-4 G-d talks about the pagan nations and how he dislikes their life of sin. 
  • From verse 5-14 talks about his people Israel and how he is going to be with them, protect them and bless them.
  • In verse 15-17 G-d talks about how he will come in his fury and destroy the idolaters and nations that do not honor him.
  • Verses 18-24 talks about how the rest of the nations that repent and turn to G-d will witness his glory and his love for Israel and will also see how the idolaters have been destroyed.

Is the law not based on Faith? ~ Cross reference of Galatians 3:12 to Leviticus 18:5

Image
Paul makes a very wrong statement that the law is not based on faith. I believe his view is that anyone who keeps the law expects that G-d will bless them even if they don't believe, love, fear G-d.  This is a lie. There are several passages in Tanakh that talk about the blessings that G-d will give those who love him and keep his commands. The teaching of Tanakh is very consistent that one needs to have faith in G-d and show that faith my living to the standards of G-d's laws. All Images are links to Google Images.

Was Jesus the cornerstone that David wrote about? ~ Cross reference of Luke 20:17 to Psalm 118:22

Luke like Matthew & Mark uses Psalm 118:26 to say that Jesus was the cornerstone that David wrote about. He was telling the Jews that David knew 1700 years later the Jews would reject him.
