A Never-dying Appetite for Sin!
They were seared by intense heat and they cursed the name of God, who had control over these plagues - but they refused to repent and glorify Him. Men gnawed their own tongues in agony and cursed the God of Heaven because of their pains and their sores - but they refused to repent of what they had done! Rev 16: 9 & 11
If God would let men live forever - they would sin forever!
Some think it harsh, that for the sins committed in a few years - they should undergo eternal torment. But here lies the justice and equity of it - it is because sinners have an everlasting hunger for sin in them. Their stock of corruption is never fully spent. They have a never-dying appetite for sin - which is justly punished with a never-dying worm! Their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched! Mark 9:48
Sin is worse than Hell! Torment has its epitome in Hell - yet nothing in Hell is as bad as sin. Hell is of God's making - but sin is not of God's making. Sin is the devil's creature. The torments of Hell are a burden on to the sinner - but sin is a burden to God!
In the torments of Hell, there is something which is good, namely, the Execution of Divine Justice. There is justice to be found in Hell - but sin is a piece of the highest injustice. Sin would rob God of His glory, Christ of His purchase, and the soul of its happiness.
Sin is the most hateful thing - for it is worse than the torments of Hell.
You just got schooled by a Puritan punk!
