David Lipscomb Hell: A Final Word by Edward William Fudge

David Lipscomb Summer Celebration 2014 endorses Edward Fudge denying the clear Biblical Statement about HELL: he attributes his work to the introduction of instrumental music "in worship." Fittingly, instrumental music is always a prelude to God casting the craftsmen, singers and speakers ALIVE into the lake of fire BECAUSE they are called SORCERERS who had deceived thewhole world.  Instrumental is not the SIN but the MARK of those Paul warned about in Ephesians as LYING IN WAIT TO DECEIVE.

Jesus warned that Doctors of the Law TAKE AWAY THE KEY TO KNOWLEDGE: He called them Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites.  In Ezekiel 33 the spirit OF Christ who breathed into the prophets NAMES self-speakers for hire (hirelings), singers and instrument players. He says that they are the MARK of those who do not intend to SPEAK the Word, listen to the Word nor OBEY the Word.  The Word is the LOGOS (Dabar) or the Regulative Principle. It outlaws preachers comments or opinions, singers or instrument players.  Jesus said that God HIDES from the wise or Sophists who are speakers, singers, instrument players all defined as enchanters or SORCERERS (Revelation 18) and that is why they are destined to be CAST ALIVE INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE.

Every author I found who promoted and defended the traditionalist view … generally believed four fundamental pillars to be true.

(1) The Old Testament says nothing about hell.

That would prove that self-speakers are not allowed to read BLACK text of BROWN paper. Paul in 2 Corinthians 3 says this was the result of the fall at Mount Sinai.

(2) Between the time of the Old and New Testaments, the doctrine of unending conscious torment developed from Old Testament principles. …

That would prove that they are ignorant of the prophets by Christ and a Church of Christ is built upon or EDUCATED by the Prophets and Apostles.

(3) New Testament writers follow Jesus and teach unending conscious torment.

That would be smart: It is to despise the Word of Jesus which means to BLASPHEME by saying that He was not smart nor ethical enough to say that the evil will be CAST DEAD upon the fires to be CONSUMED.

(4) The immortality of the soul requires unending conscious torment unless those in hell are restored to God and join him in heaven. … Either these pillars are true or they are not. (p. 65)

Edward Fudge: If we ask what the Old Testament says about hell, meaning a place where people are kept alive to be tormented forever, the answer will be “nothing.” … But if we go to the Old Testament asking what it says about the end of the wicked, we will meet our first great surprise. (p. 67)

Destruction often speaks of the destruction of killing of the person so that they cannot do harm: putting them in prison had the same effect:'

Deut. 7:23 But the LORD thy God shall deliver them unto thee,
        and shall destroy them with a mighty destruction,
        until they be destroyed.
Deut. 7:24 And he shall deliver their kings into thine hand,
        and thou shalt destroy their name from under heaven:
        there shall no man be able to stand before thee,
        until thou have destroyed them.

Deut. 7:25 The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire:
        thou shalt not desire the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it unto thee,
        lest thou be snared therein: for it is an abomination to the LORD thy God. 
Deut. 7:26 Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: but thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing.

Ex. 3:2 And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush:
        and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.

IF YOU SAY THAT THE EVIL ARE TERMINATED FOREVER, THE TERMINATED, THE BURNED ARE ALWAYS THOSE WHO USE MUSICAL NOISE TO MAKE THE LAMBS DUMB BEFORE THE SLAUGHTER.

EDWARD FUDGE SAYS THAT HIS GOD OF LOVE WOULD NOT TOLERATE HELL.

Deut. 32:22 For a fire is kindled in mine anger,
        and shall burn unto the lowest hell,
        and shall consume the earth with her increase,
        and set on fire the foundations of the mountains.
Deut. 32:23 I will heap mischiefs upon them;
        I will spend mine arrows upon them. 

Deut. 32:24 They shall be burnt with hunger,
        and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction:
        I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust.
Deut. 32:25 The sword without, and terror within,
        shall destroy both the young man and the virgin,
        the suckling also with the man of gray hairs.
Deut. 32:26 I said, I would scatter them into corners,
        I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men:
Deut. 32:27 Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy,
        lest their adversaries should behave themselves strangely,
        and lest they should say,
        Our hand is high, and the LORD hath not done all this.

There are TWO THREADS running through the Old Testament:
The Israelites had been turned over to worship the starry host because of musical idolatry (Acts 7)
The godly people attended ekklesia, synagogue, qahal or Church of Christ (the Rock) in the Wilderness.
The synagogue was:
Exclusive of Vocal or Instrumental Rejoicing or speaking your own words (Isaiah 58)
INCLUSIVE of Rest, Reading and Rehearsing the Word.

The Spirit OF Christ speaks through the PROPHETS and not through the Scribes which He called "the lying pen of the Scribes."

Acts 8:32 The place of the scripture which he READ was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:

Acts 15:21 For Moses of old time hath in every city them that PREACH him,
         being READ in the synagogues every sabbath day.

Acts 23:34 And when the governor had read the letter, he asked of what province he was. And when he understood that he was of Cilicia;

2Cor. 3:14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the READING of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ. 
2Cor. 3:15 But even unto this day, when Moses is READ, the vail is upon their heart.

Col. 4:16 And when this epistle is READ among you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans; and that ye likewise read the epistle from Laodicea.

1Th. 5:27 I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all the holy brethren.

Rev. 5:4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.

Jesus said that Doctors of the Law take away the key to knowledge. In Ephesians 4 the elders as Pastor-teachers were to eject the cunning craftsmen or sophists (self-speakers, singers, instrument players) because they are LYING IN WAIT TO DECEIVE.

Mr Fudge denies the God of His image to PUNISH those John calls Sorcerers (speakers, singers, instrument players) who HAD deceived the whole world once: they are to be CAST ALIVE INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE.

BECAUSE MR. FUDGE LIES TO GOD, ABOUT GOD AND TO ANYONE WHO WILL BUY THE BOOK, he may be one of those ANGELS of "light" for which hell was prepared.  Judas didn't know that he was the prophesied FRIEND in Revelation 41 to be marked with the SOP or PSALLO word to invite the Devil to INDWELL him. The Spiritus defines Abaddon or Apollyon who is the leader of the Muses or Locusts.

A Disciple of Christ is commanded to PREACH the WORD by READING the Word for Comfort and Doctrine. Edward Fudge credits the book and himself with the introduction of Instrumental Music knowing that it would create a NEW SECTARIAN split known as The Progressive Church of Christ.  A Disciple of Christ does not make a profession out of listing all of the "proofs" out of context needing to TRUMP those not still ANTI-whatever.

The LOGOS is God's Regulative Principle: it outlaws preacher's opinions, singing, playing instruments, acting or Corrupting the Word meaning "selling learning at wholesale" which word and the Greek views of the sophists is prostitution

The Bible speaks of Prophetic Types being cast alive into "hell" along with their harps and buried-alive harpists. They are treated as conscious.  Edward Fudge has decided that his GOOD GOD will only punish them long enough to CONSUME or EXECUTE them. The body and soul (life) can be consumed but the spirit or mind is never said to be consumed.

Those who will be CONSUMED in this "hell" are ALWAYS those who have treated God as a lover or sugar-daddy who gives GIFTS to those who engage in Fertility Rituals: the praise singer is the world's OLDEST profession and he usually worked as the Second Oldest Profession where music was used to make people think that they had "experienced" their god when they had just been driven into wrath or ORGY which Paul guards against by having both men and women sit down and shut up to hear the WORD (regulative principle) being PREACHED by being READ.  Paul defines the one-piece pattern "so that we might all be saved and come to a knowledge of the TRUTH.

At Mount Sinai Instrumental Idolatry caused God to take away The Book of The Covenant of Grace, impose the Law of Moses and sentence Israel back to Assyria and Babylon for the sentence of captivity and death.

The Jacob-Cursed and God-Abandoned Levites executed 3000 of the "brethren" for engaging in PLAY or the instrumental idolatry of the golden calf representing the always-pagan trinity of Osiris-Isis-Horus.

In Egyptian Mythology, Horus IS Lucifer'.

Horus was the posthumous son and heir of the god Osiris, the primordial king and giver of life. He was invited by his uncle, Seth, to spend a day. Seth’s real motive was not to show him hospitality but to disqualify him from inheriting his father’s royal power. To this end, while Horus slept Seth committed an act of sodomy upon him. Since sodomy was inflicted as a punishment on a defeated enemy and was a symbol of domination, Seth could then claim that he had conquered Horus and demand the kingship in his place.

In Isaiah 30 inspired by the Spirit OF Christ the MARKS of God casting His ENEMIES into "hell" are the sound of wind, string and percussion instruments.  The universal connection with assualting God and destroying His REST by MUSIC is being cast on a bed of maggots to burn up and be CONSUMED.  Consumption is MARKED by what Christ called the Singing and harp-playing prostitute in the garden of Eden.  Being CAST as Profane is the word Chalal Ch2490 which is the same as David's praise word h1984 Halal which is the MARK of Lucifer h1966

THE MESSAGE FROM THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST

And his breath [SPIRIT], as rushing water in a valley, reach reach as far as the neck, and be divided, to confound the nations for their vain error; error also shall pursue them and overtake them. Isaiah 30:28 LXX

Must ye always rejoice, and go into my holy places continually, as they that keep a feast? and must ye go with a pipe, as those that rejoice into the mountain of the Lord, to the God of Israel Isaiah 30:29 LXX

and the Lord shall make his glorious voice to be heard and the wrath of his arm, to make a display with wrath and anger and devouring flame: he shall lighten terribly, and his wrath shall be as water and violent hail. Isaiah 30:30 LXX

For by the voice of the Lord the Assyrians shall be overcome, even by the stroke where with he shall smite them. Isaiah 30:31 LXX

In 2 Chronicles 29 Hezekiah is removing the instruments of the Assyrians from the temple.  However, the Levites returned to burning infants to Molech after Hezekiah was dead.

And it shall happen to him from every side, that they from whom their hope of assistance was, in which he trusted, themselves shall war against him in turn with drums and with harp. Isaiah 30:32 LXX

For thou shalt be required before thy time: has it been prepared for thee also to reign? nay, God has prepared for thee a deep trench, wood piled fire and much wood: the wrath of the Lord shall be as a trench kindled with sulphur. Isaiah 30:33 LXX

For Tophet is ordained of old; yea, for the king it is prepared; he hath made it deep and large:
........... the pile thereof is fire and much wood;
........... the breath (divine inspiration, spirit) of the Lord,
........... like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it. 30:33KJV

Edward thinks that hell annihialates the sinner: if so, why is there so much text about God punishing the evil for EVER AND EVER? Couldn't God have been as smart as we and just said: "The Evil will die like Rover."

Edward Fudge says that sinners are cast into the lak of fire THEN they are Executed: doesn't that insult God's grace? Cast into the Lake of Fire IS THE SECOND DEATH but the Spirit says they will suffer for ever and ever: Aions and Aions.

CHRIST'S PROPHETIC TYPE IN ISAIAH which Edward Fudge DENIES

Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations. Isaiah 14:9

Hell from beneath is provoked to meet thee: all the great ones that have ruled over the earth have risen up together against thee, they that have raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations Isaiah 14:9 LXX

THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST SAYS THAT EVEN AS THEIR BODIES ROT ON A BED OF MAGGOTS THEIR SPIRITS ARE NOT DEAD.

All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us? Isaiah 14:10

AII shall answer and say to thee, Thou also hast been taken, even as we, and thou art numbered amongst us. Isaiah 14:10 LXX

CHRIST'S PROPHETIC TYPE IN EZEKIEL.  God did not command a Temple in Jerusalem: they built a ziggurat or Tower of Babel.  The king-queen of Tyre or their god was Molech worshipped by Israel in the Wilderness and in Jerusalem

Ezekiel 28:12 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of TYRUS, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord God; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. 

When Lucifer was CAST AS PROFANE out of heaven the word is Chalal h2490 meaning to play the flute to steal your inheritance, to pollute or prostitute.  Halal or h1984 is David's praise or "making himself vile" praise word.

Ezek. 28:13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.

Created or Bara means to CAST DOWN

JESUS' PROPHECY MADE MORE CERTAIN: Rev. 18:22 And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;

… when Jesus was teaching, there was no such things as “the Jewish view” on hell, but rather there was a variety of opinion on this subject. … Jesus’ teaching on final punishment, as on other subjects, was rooted in Old Testament revelation, which it sometimes advanced but never contradicted. (p. 86)

A CHURCH OF CHRIST IS BUILT UPON THE PROPHETS AND APOSTLES. The Jews as the PATTERN for apostate churches of Christ had a COVENANT WITH HELL: it was a place where not even God could hurt them. That covenant with death is defined by amos as the MARZEAH which was a musical feast WITH and FOR dead ancestors.

Is. 28:15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement;
        when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us:
         for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:
Is. 28:16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD,
        Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation:
         he that believeth shall not make haste. 
Is. 28:17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet:
        and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place. 
Is. 28:18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled,
        and your agreement with hell shall not stand;
        when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it. 
Is. 28:19 From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you:
        for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night:
        and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report. 
Is. 28:20 For the bed is shorter than that a man can stretch himself on it:
        and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself in it. 
Isaiah 28:21 For the LORD shall rise up as in mount Perazim, he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon,
        that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act. 
Is. 28:22 Now therefore be ye not mockers,
        lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from the Lord GOD of hosts
        a consumption, even determined upon the whole earth.
