Look, I’m sorry, but the Scriptures are as plain as can be, yet you’re denying what they say. Eternal torment isn’t a pleasant thing to contemplate, that’s true, but it’s a fact, no matter how you try to twist and turn to get round it. We can be thankful it isn’t God’s will for us, and that He provided a way to salvation in Jesus Christ.

With all due respect, I’m not going to argue Scriptural fact with you when you clearly don’t want to accept it. God bless.

Yes the Scriptures are plain and the plain explanation is Hell is not eternal and unbelievers aren’t tormented forever. Now that’s not saying that there isn’t any torment in Hell right now for the unbelievers. Of course there is. But as Scripture in Revelation 20 shows us, there is an end to death and Hell and unbelievers. If you have any Scriptural fact to deconstruct my points, I’d love to see them, but to date, I have not seen any, even from my own Pastor.

(By the way, as a Christian, it is your responcibility to present to me, a fellow Christian, Biblical facts that back up your disagreement. If I was a non-believer rejecting Scripture, then yes, wipe your sandals and leave, but that’s not the case.)

I realize this is a hard thing for some people to honestly analyze because good Christian churches and good Christian pastors have been simply passing on what they were told and refuse to look at this doctrine fully and honestly. I think one of the things that prevent pastors from preaching the truth of this is that so many Christians are uneducated on the whole of the Bible and would flee any church that preached this. Hense many pastors just don’t talk about Hell very much or in any detail.

I don’t expect you to admit to me on line that you agree with me, but I highly encourage you to go to the link I posted and read it all the way through. It does a very good and honest job of looking at the topic of Hell.
