1John 4:8 and 16 in the context of 1John 4:1-5:21 are the antithesis of the false narrative hell. There is no literal locative noun hell. Conceptual figurative hell is a binary choice between God’s unconditional love and the hatred subsequent to and commensurate with the concept of hell. We must contemplate the fact that Jesus, in Matthew 5:27-29, is telling us that if we conceive hell we are guilty of spiritual adultery. Matthew 5:27-29 says “Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery” “But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart” “And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell”. Why do you think Jesus spoke his Matthew 5:27 words prior to his words of verses 28 and 29? God is going to precisely share his thoughts on hell after he corrects some mistranslations. English “offend” was translated from Greek verb 4624 skandalizo and to fully understand God’s definition we must follow God’s 2Timothy 2:15, 19-21 directive by studying every word in each verse containing Greek verb 4624 skandalizo and Greek neuter noun 4625 skandalon which are the etymology of English verb scandalize and noun scandal. After studying every word in each verse containing Greek verb 4624 skandalizo and Greek neuter noun 4625 skandalon we know God’s definition of Greek verb 4624 skandalizo subjectively means to place flesh thoughts and feeling’s impediments that offend God’s spiritual thoughts and ways and objectively means for our pathway unto God’s kingdom of heaven to be impeded by flesh thoughts and feelings traps placed in our pathway to God’s kingdom by the “so great a cloud of witnesses” of Hebrews 12:1 in the context of Hebrews 12:1-17 understanding that “let us run with patience the race that is set before us” is upon the pathway into God’s kingdom. Understand “when thou art rebuked” in Hebrews 12:5 was translated from Greek verb 1651 elegcho that means to confute in the sense of proving someone wrong beyond any reasonable doubt. Understand “the chastening” in Hebrews 12:5 was translated from Greek feminine noun 3809 paideia that is the raising up of one’s own child. God will not raise us up as his own child until we accept the fact that our flesh thoughts and feelings are wrong; and contradict God’s spiritual thoughts and ways. The hateful false narrative hell is the first and foremost “offence” for which God removes more than 8 billion human beings from God’s process during this earth age to protect them from Matthew 12:32 pursuant to Ephesians 1:10 and 1Timothy 2:3-4. English “members” emboldened in Matthew 5:29 was translated from Greek neuter noun 3196 melos that are flesh body parts. Greek neuter noun 3196 melos best represents God’s definition as “member” and “members” in James 3:5 and 6 “Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth” “And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell”. English “iniquity” in James 3:6 was translated from Greek feminine noun 93 adikia that means not right per God’s definition of right. English “course” emboldened in James 3:6 was translated from Greek neuter noun 5164 trochos that is the noun form of Greek verb 5143 trecho that was translated into English “and let us run” in Hebrews 12:1. English “of nature” emboldened in James 3:6 was translated from Greek feminine noun 1078 genesis that is the moment of our flesh birth. From the moment of our flesh birth, human tongues try to convince us of their false conceptual narrative hell. English “hell” emboldened in James 3:6 and Matthew 5:29 were translated from Greek feminine noun 1067 geenna that is the valley of the son of Hinnom containing the garbage dump outside Jerusalem’s East gate. We need to understand that “Molech” is the fire god of the Ammonites and Phoenicians to whom a few Israelites sacrificed their infants in the valley of the son of Hinnom. If you want to know what God says about hell Leviticus 18:21 says “And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD”. Leviticus 20:1-8 says “And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying” “Again, thou shalt say to the children of Israel, Whosoever he be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, that giveth any of his seed unto Molech; he shall surely be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him with stones” “And I will set my face against that man, and will cut him off from among his people; because he hath given of his seed unto Molech, to defile my sanctuary, and to profane my holy name” “And if the people of the land do any ways hide their eyes from the man, when he giveth of his seed unto Molech, and kill him not” “Then I will set my face against that man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all that go a whoring after him, to commit whoredom with Molech, from among their people” “And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people” “Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I am the LORD your God” “And ye shall keep my statutes, and do them: I am the LORD which sanctify you”. God, in Jeremiah 32:34-35 said “But they set their abominations in the house, which is called by my name, to defile it” “And they built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire unto Molech; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin”. If you will study the 28th chapter of Isaiah starting at verse nine 9 until you see to the English words “And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand” everyone should understand that God designed his bible “But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken” to remove more than 8 billion human beings from God’s process during this earth age, to protect them from Matthew 12:32 pursuant to Ephesians 1:10 and 1Timothy 2:3-4. God is not punishing anyone. It has been God’s will and plan since the beginning of time. “That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him” “For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour” “Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth”. These three verses are the most accurate Greek to English translations in the King James Bible. When flesh human beings read those three verses they must make a binary choice between God’s intrinsic spiritual love expressed in those three verses and the flesh hatred imagined in the false narrative hell conceived by flesh thoughts and feelings then instigated and perpetuated by the “tongue” of those same human beings who displace God’s spiritual thoughts and ways.
