Default Knowing Christ

Sis. Jassy good day!

To know Christ is to hate every falseway. A saved person loves the light and reproves the unfruitful works of darkness. Paul said in Ephesians 1:12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. In this case, the person you know with extreme view may not be saved afterall. Here are other verses of the Bible as we are admonish by Paul:

Ephesians 4:27 Neither give place to the devil.
Ephesians 5:10 Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
Ephesians 5:11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.

Johnlf said:
Christ did not descend into hell to experience it. He went to Sheol (which had a side of fiery torments and a side of paradise) to show his victory over death on the cross and to retrieve the souls of those in Abraham's bosom and take them with him to heaven:

Jesus who have the authority over everything including hell has no problem going over there. The purpose of Christ came over there was to proclaim victory over death. This has been attested by Paul in 1 Corinthians 15:57.

1 Corinthians 15:57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

One thing, if Shadrach, Meschach and Abed-nego did not felt any pain while in the burning fiery furnace, how much more the Son of God who have the power over death and hell. Afterall, it was the Son of God that King Nebuchanezzar saw while the three (3) was on the burning furnace of fire.

Daniel 3:23 And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
Daniel 3:24 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his counsellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king.
Daniel 3:25 He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.
