Mat 18:6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
Mat 22:13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Mat 5:22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
Luk 12:47 And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.
As far as I know, these are all the major punishments. They may sound flowery / rhetorical but they are in fact different / varied for a reason. Beaten, burnt, drowned, restrained, and (emotionally) tormented. These are the side effects of knowing good and evil and failing of it. More later…
Good mixed with evil equals degrees of punishment and varieties of punishments. There is no judge that sits on a throne meting out punishments so cruel from a manual of torture. These are just what happens when good and evil play in our systems, in our customs, out of reach of God the Father.
