Q: “What is outer darkness?” A: There are three main scriptures about outer darkness found in Matthew 8:12;22:13; and 25:30. Darkness can only be observed when there is an absence of lightbecause in certain situations even darkness is light to some people (Matthew 6:22-23).Spiritually there is the gnawing darkness of hell and the tormenting fiery […]
