(Exodus 3:2) The Ancient of days did sit: . . . his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire. (Dan. 7:9) ...his eyes were as a flame of fire; and his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace. (Rev. 1: 14, 15) In these and many other passages we read about how our Lord radiates love.ALTER2EGO -to- CHADWOOTERS:
Why are you quoting these verses? They are all presenting different circumstances in which fire is used, and none of the circumstances involve hellfire.
1. The verse at Exodus 3:2 speaks about God's angel appearing to Moses in a flame of fire.
2. The scripture at Daniel 7:9 is talking about God's throne being like the fiery flame.
3. Daniel 7:9 is comparing God's eyes to a flame of fire.
Hell is supposedly underground; remember? God's angel appeared to Moses above ground in a flame of fire. God's throne is in the heavens. You are indiscriminately selecting verses of scriptures simply because the word "fire" appears somewhere in the verses, and you're doing this regardless of the context.
