In these discussions, and others on various subjects, its not hard for me to see the possibilities concerning what the Bible says about "wailing and nashing of teeth".
Some think this refers to something in "erternal torment, burning" etc
I do not concur with that.
I think it has much more to do with what people will do when they realize how much truth and understanding they were exposed to but rejected in favor of faulty human reasoning and wishes. I can certainly see the possibility for a person to nash their teeth and wail when they fully realize how close they were to the ark before the door was shut.
As a contrast, if believers in Christ are wrong, and He doesnt exist, they will never wake up after death and 'sleep' forever blissfully. But if theyre right I can see the definite possbilties for some serious wailing.
Its nice to know that if I am wrong about what I believe there is NO DOWNSIDE for me......ever. Yet that being said, I still want to know whatever I can learn and these type discussions are a help for that.
Like someone said, its a matter of where you place your "bets" and I prefer the best odds in light of all evidence.
