Matthew 13:42 “And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.”ġ4. Revelation 20:15 “And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.”ġ3. Revelation 21:8 “But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”ġ2. Sinning against a holy God, the Creator of the universe results in a far more severe punishment. The issue is also who the crime was committed against. The issue is not only that you have committed a crime. When a man does a crime, he must be punished. What’s even scarier is that most people will one day find themselves in hell. It’s a place of outer darkness, eternal suffering, a place of constant crying, screaming, and gnashing of teeth. There is no rest in hell! It’s a place where you will feel guilt and condemnation for eternity and there will be nothing to remove it. Scripture says it’s a place of unquenchable fire. Isaiah 59:2 “But your iniquities have separated you from your God your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear.” Proverbs 1:28-29 28 “Then they will call to me but I will not answer they will look for me but will not find me, 29 since they hated knowledge and did not choose to fear the Lord.”ġ0. ![]() Psalm 66:18 “If I had cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened.”ĩ. He listens to the godly person who does his will.”Ĩ. John 9:31 “ We know that God does not listen to sinners. Unless the prayer is for forgiveness or repentance.ħ. However, if you are asking does God answer Christians who are living in unrepentant sin, then the answer is no. The Lord can choose to answer any prayer that He sees fit. I believe for the most part no, but God does answer prayers according to His will and He does answer an unbeliever’s prayer for forgiveness. If you are asking does God answer the prayers of unbelievers, then it depends. There are many different parts to this question. Romans 3:11 “There is no one who understands there is no one who seeks God.” Psalm 58:3 “The wicked are estranged from the womb they go astray from birth, speaking lies.”Ħ. Romans 7:14 “We know that the law is spiritual but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin.”ĥ. Romans 5:19 “For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.”Ĥ. Ephesians 2:3 “Among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others.”ģ. Psalm 51:5 “Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me.”Ģ. This is why Scripture teaches us that by nature we are children of wrath.ġ. Every man and every woman has inherited the sin of Adam. By nature, we are sinful with sinful desires. The Bible makes it clear that we are all born sinners. Are we born sinners according to the Bible? ![]()
