Eternal punishment is not the case.

Maybe because One was made in Gods image and the other was not?

That's an interesting thought!

I'll need to contemplate . . .

Much love!

Eternal punishment IS the case. Contra OP.

 

[Daniel Veler]

The Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent.

God is not going to destroy everyone, who is not a believer.


“Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter by the gates into the city. Outside are the dogs and the sorcerers and the immoral persons and the murderers and the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices lying.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭22:14-15‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

There is no such thing as bad news. Only great news. That people outside the gate are not completely closed off. My speculation they never will be, and the kingdom will never cease.

God will not force. God by his own volition desires to have all repent. That can be in this life or the next life though their is what seems to be a spiritual loss for them, being outside the gates upon entering.

This is not universalism but Gods imperative will that will never be truncated.

Read the parable of the ten virgins. Who five were denied entry and why. If you understand eternal life you’ll understand why the five were rejected.
