But I read the latest batch of posts/discussions on hell and those discussion focus on neither yours or my points.
They try to support the idea that when someone is thrown into hell they are burned up into nothingness immediately and there is therefore no torment.
Again, none of the scriptures you provide support the idea of going to hell for a time and then receiving a reprieve.
It is also clear that you do not understand the differences nuances of a physical death, where you spend time between your death and the final judgement, and the ultimate punishment for dying in your sins.
You really don't know why you believe what you believe. That is as sad as it is dangerous.
I went back through the pages and pages of posts and couldn't find the references to;
#1 "they are burned up into nothingness immediately and there is therefore no torment"
#2 "going to hell for a time and then receiving a reprieve"
I have no idea of any Christian basis for #1. One of the purposes for torment is that it lasts for quite some time. Much more than an instantaneous destruction is indicated anyway.
#2 sounds a lot like ideology based upon passages from the Catholic apocrypha. It's also similar to Dante Alighieri's work on eternity THE DIVINE COMEDY. Major sections of that work were Inferno,
Purgatorio & Paradiso. The ideology of a spiritual parking space for wayward human spirits is called Purgatory and is based upon these two documents. Friends and family of such departed persons could make contributions to the church so that prayers could be said on behalf of the dead, thus shortening their time in purgatory. Basically it was a fund raising device.
It should be noted, however, that the apocrypha was included in the Catholic canon of scriptures by mistake while Dante's work was originally composed as a satire. Both are now taken seriously and completely out of context to orthodox Christian theology.
It would have been helpful, as you suggested, that the writer furnish some clue as to the source for his ideas.
