“It would be the death of a being to be in heaven defiled.”
I read some guy that had a bunch of scriptures to “back it up”, but his idea was that EVERYONE will be in the presence of God. But for those that have not been saved, God’s light will instead feel like the eternal fires of hell shining on the person’s sin.
I don’t know - either way - eternal punishment.

I've wondered that myself but never really said much to anyone cause it sounded so weird.
But considering that God is omnipresent and there is no where that God is not, then there cannot be a place where you are out of His presence.
And our God IS a consuming fire. And since souls are forever, then I could easily see that being in the presence of a holy God in an unredeemed, unprotected state, would feel like burning.

Revelation 20:11-15
"Then I saw a great White Throne and him who was seated on it. Earth and sky fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and THE BOOKS WERE OPENED. Another book was opened WHICH IS THE BOOK OF LIFE. The dead were judged according to their works as recorded in the books. The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to their works. Then death and Hades were thrown into the Lake of Fire. The Lake of Fire is the second death. If anyone's name was not found written IN THE BOOK OF LIFE, he was thrown into the lake of fire."
