How is the gospel spread in hell?

[Neil]

Good topic STP and great post Jason.

The only scriptural place I can recall offhand that (I’d argue) shows

the Holy Spirit (and the redeemed church as the Bride) evangelizing impenitent sinners to stop fondling their sins and accept Jesus Christ as their savior, is in the second half of the final chapter of RevJohn. And Christ is still there, too, pictured (poetically) as the river of life flowing out of the never-closed gates, with Christ thus also cooperating to bring sinners to Christ.

How do you explain Revelation 22:11?

He who acts unjustly, let him act unjustly still. He who is filthy, let him be filthy still. He who is righteous, let him do righteousness still. He who is holy, let him be holy still.”
(World English Bible)

That clearly seems to suggest the saved shouldn’t try to save the lost.

I think I can fairly say that language specifically describing

ONGOING evangelism specifically to ACCEPT CHRIST, is thin at best. Usually I myself would argue it’s an inferential conclusion from various testimonies being put together. For example, this is the goal, God says He will definitely reach the goal, the goal necessarily involves X, there are various partial indications of X in scriptural testimony, therefore through deduction and through inductive support, I should and do conclude X happens.

When I read this, I think of the trinity. There’s no text in the Bible that says, “There is one God, who exists in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Each Person is equally God.” You and I and other trinitarians see the Trinity as corollary to things that are explicitly stated.

‘That clearly seems to suggest the saved shouldn’t try to save the lost’ ?..seems’ ?..it doesn’t at all say that, IMO…the ‘saved’ cant ‘save’…it’s God who ‘saves’…it’s God who’ll get all the glory of saving people…
if anything, this verse proves that we humans should not worry and strive too much over impenitent sinners…ultimately, God will look after them as He does us all…He will deal with their sin.

God is the facilitator. We are just witnesses. We can only bear witness to what we have seen. We can only see what he has shown us.Whatever we do we do freely, out of love, and those are the works that shine and abide. Trust God and walk. Pay attention and listen and watch for opportunities to serve. Do what ya can and be humble when ya fail.

Always be ready to give a defense for the hope that is in you.

Come Quickly Lord Jesus.
