Thank you Thomas D;
That is beautiful. I always knew that the God of the Bible; the God of love would never let someone be tourtured forever, for only 70 years of not going His way. Only a monster could do such a thing. This is truth that this world need to hear. Thanks again.
This is where half of the forum divides. God is a Judge, He makes the rules. Those who don't follow the rules shall be punished. It's only just and fair that sinners get the same punishment as Satan. Revelation 20:15If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the
lake of
fire.Revelation 20:14And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.Second: means secondDeath: θάνατος (thanatos)
1) the death of the body
a) that separation (whether natural or violent) of the soul and the body by which the life on earth is ended
with the implied idea of future misery in hell
1) the power of death
c) since the nether world, the abode of the dead, was conceived as being very dark, it is equivalent to the region of thickest darkness i.e. figuratively, a region enveloped in the darkness of ignorance and sin
2) metaph., the loss of that life which alone is worthy of the name,
a) the misery of the soul arising from sin, which begins on earth but lasts and increases after the death of the body in hell
3) the miserable state of the wicked dead in hell
4) in the widest sense, death comprising all the miseries arising from sin, as well physical death as the loss of a life consecrated to God and blessed in him on earth, to be followed by wretchedness in hell
Isaiah 66:24And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their
fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.Fire: God's wrath.Matthew 13:50And shall cast them into the
furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.Fire: God's wrath.Furnace of fire: Place of God's wrath (ie. Lake of Fire). I found a rather delightful verse just now!Revelation 20:14And
death and hell were cast into the
lake of fire. This is the
second death.There can be no more death and no more hell if it's cast into the lake of fire. The second death is the eternal separation from God. The people that are in the Lake of Fire will have a worm (reoccurring memories of when they could have repented, probably) that never dies, and the fire (God's wrath) will never be quenched.
