Hell as separation from God

Can you show me a reference?

Sure. Joel 3:16. "A stranger shall never enter Jerusalem." This is patently false.

"Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for the Lord?"

Jer.32:27

"Then Job answered the LORD, and said, I know that thou canst do every thing...."

Job 42:1-2

"And the Lord was with Judah; and he drave out the inhabitants of the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron."

Jg.1:19

Is God omnipotent or not? The Bible is inconsistent on this issue.

You must have given the wrong verse...

Judges 1:19



[And the Lord was with Judah, and he drave out the inhabitants of the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron.]

The whole of this verse is improperly rendered. The first clause, The Lord was with Judah should terminate the 18th verse, and this gives the reason for the success of this tribe: The Lord was with Judah, and therefore he slew the Canaanites that inhabited Zephath, etc., etc. Here then is a complete period: the remaining part of the verse either refers to a different time, or to the rebellion of Judah against the Lord, which caused him to withdraw his support. Therefore the Lord was with Judah, and these were the effects of his protection; but afterward, when the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, and served Baalim, etc., God was no longer with them, and their enemies were left to be pricks in their eyes, and thorns in their side, as God himself had said.
This is the turn given to the verse by Jonathan ben Uzziel, the Chaldee paraphrasist: "And the WORD of Yahweh was in the support of the house of Judah, and they extirpated the inhabitants of the mountains; but afterward, WHEN THEY SINNED, they were not able to extirpate the inhabitants of the plain country, because they had chariots of iron." They were now left to their own strength, and their adverseries prevailed against them.
From a work called the Dhunoor Veda, it appears that the ancient Hindus had war chariots similar to those of the Canaanites. They are described as having many wheels, and to have contained a number of rooms.-- Ward's Customs.

I hope you understand that I cannot type out every response and have to resort to C&P from time to time.....
