Mark 9:47

And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:
45

And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:

46

Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

47

And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:

48

Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

49

For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt.

Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Fire Imagery

The verse explicitly mentions "hell fire" as a place of punishment, directly aligning with the theme's definition of fire in a judgment or punishment context.

Hell Terminology (Sheol/Hades/Gehenna/Lake of Fire)

This verse explicitly mentions "hell fire," which directly aligns with the theme's definition of referencing a specific place or state of punishment.

Sheol / The Grave

The verse explicitly mentions "hell fire" as the destination for those with two eyes, which is distinct from "Sheol / The Grave" as a general state or destination of the dead. It contrasts a state of punishment with entering the "kingdom of God," not with a neutral concept of the grave.

Eternal Conscious Torment

The verse describes being "cast into hell fire" as the alternative to entering the kingdom of God, but it does not explicitly detail the nature or duration of the suffering within that fire, leaving open the possibility of a non-eternal or non-conscious outcome.
