Ko e ha ‘a e lau ‘a e Folofola?

( what does the Bible say?)

Fehu‘i #28

Ko e hā e me‘a ‘e hoko ki he kau pekia ‘oku ‘ikai te nau kau mo Kalaisi fou ‘i he‘enau tuí  ?

‘I he ‘aho ‘o e fakamaaú, te nau ma‘u ‘a e tu‘utu‘uni fakalilifu kae angatonu ‘o honau tauteá. ‘E kapusi kinautolu mei he ‘ao ‘o e ‘Otuá, ki heli, ke fakahoko ai honau tautea fakamamahí  ke ta‘engata.

What happens after death to those not united to Christ by faith?

At the day of judgment they will receive the fearful but just sentence of condemnation pronounced against them. They will be cast out from the favorable presence of God, into hell, to be justly and grievously punished, forever.

SIONE 3:16-18, 36

He na‘e ‘ofa pehē ‘a e ‘Otua ki māmani, ko ia na‘a ne foaki hono ‘Alo tofu-pē-taha-ne-fakatupu, koe‘uhi ko ia kotoa pē ‘oku tui pīkitai kiate ia ke ‘oua na‘a ‘auha, kae ma‘u ‘a e mo‘ui ta‘engata. He tala‘ehai na‘e fekau ‘e he ‘Otua ‘a e ‘Alo ki māmani ke fakamaau? ‘a māmani; ka koe‘uhi ke mo‘ui ‘a māmani ‘iate ia. Ko ia ‘oku tui pīkitai kiate ia ‘oku ‘ikai ke fakamaau? ia; ka ko ia ‘oku ‘ikai ke tui, kuo ‘osi fakamaau? ia; koe‘uhi kuo ‘ikai te ne tui ki he huafa ‘o e ‘Alo tofu-pē-taha-na‘e-fakatupu ‘e he ‘Otua. . . .Ko ia ‘oku ne tui pīkitai ki he ‘Alo ‘oku ne ma‘u ‘a e mo‘ui ta‘engata: ka ko ia ‘oku ‘ikai te ne talangofua ki he ‘Alo ‘e ‘ikai te ne mamata ia ki he mo‘ui; ka ‘oku nofo ma‘u kiate ia ‘e he houhau ‘a e ‘Otua.

JOHN 3:16-18, 36

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal Life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever

believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. … Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.

Commentary – J.C. RYLE (cont…)

There is but one point to be settled, "what says the word of God." Do you believe the Bible? Then depend upon it, hell is real and true. It is as true as heaven--as true as justification by faith--as true as the fact that Christ died upon the cross--as true as the Dead Sea. There is not a fact or doctrine which you may not lawfully doubt if you doubt hell. Disbelieve hell, and you unscrew, unsettle, and unpin everything in Scripture. You may as well throw your Bible aside at once. From “no hell” to “no God” there is but a series of steps.”
