I believe the Bible clearly teaches Hell is forever.
Actually, it teaches that hell is temporary and is itself thrown into the lake of fire. And the lake of fire is to the “second death” what being a lampstand is to being a church in revelation.
It is a euphemism, typical of the language of Revelation. The clear message that you can get from it is that those that are not saved are removed from revelence to the rest of us. It is finished.
This is insanely “not smart”, the whole discussion, right ?
I mean, really...
Does it make sense to profess a faith based on the Bible, then...
instead of studying the Bible to learn about that faith...
people start making up their own doctrine...
discussing how they might SURVIVE HELL ?
So (how idiotic is this) we’re implying that maybe it will be fine if we go to hell.
Maybe we can go to purgatory and then graduate to heaven.
Is purgatory taught in the Bible ? Sorry folks, it’s not.
But we certainly can spend the rest of our natural lives posting on the internet arguing that wicked reprobates might go to heaven.
Ain’t that smart ? And a great use of time, as well.
Never mind that in many places in Scripture we are specifically, clearly told on no uncertain terms that Christians continuing in our former sins prior to our conversion - will definitely mean we do NOT inherit the Kingdom of heaven.
This is not all aimed at you, cuban leaf, I’m just ranting in agreement with you.
