Question for everyone:
If you were a Judge, and a young child was brought before you in court, and lets say that child had just committed a terrible crime, they stabbed another child to death, and they attacked their parents and rejected their parents and hated their parents, and they were arrested and brought before you, and then imagine you had ONLY 2 choices or options between putting them to sleep forever or setting them alight and letting them burn in complete agony forever, which one would you choose?
You only have 2 options! Which one would you choose? Eternal sleep or eternal agony for the child? Imagine you had only these 2 options. Which would you choose? Could you stand back even for 2 minutes and watch the child burn on fire in terrible screaming agony and DO NOTHING to put the fire out or to stop the child suffering? Yes or No?
I would personally choose eternal sleep of course! So being evil as humans are, you truly believe our loving God would choose more EVIL than you? Eternal sleep[Death] is wages for sinners and NOT eternal agony.
Or even if your dog attacked you and bit you and tried to maul you to death, and you only had 2 options! Would you take REVENGE on the dog and put the dog on fire to see it burn in agony forever, or place your dog under death in unconscious sleep?
Seeing you, as sinful as you are, could NEVER sit back and even watch your own dog burn and burn in agony, how can you believe that your loving Father in heaven will burn and burn His lost children in a horrific eternal fire?
What's the purpose of God's punishment as taught in Bible? Punishment is for CORRECTION and REDIRECTION of behavior, to align with God's law and repent! Yet with a eternal hellfire, there is no objective in it, there is no end to the punishment and no opportunity to change and repent, hence, NO objective to the punishment, besides pure evil REVENGE!
I reject the idea of eternal punishment and my God and my Bible doesn't teach it. And that's why you are seeing so many English translations which never teach eternal hellfire because the Scholars realise it's not ever taught in the original languages!
Eternal hellfire and eternal torture is only taught in some English translations, but never in the original languages. It all goes back to Catholicism who were trying to place fear into people in the dark ages by threatening them with hell if they don't pay up and this influenced the KJV English translators to use words like "hell" that never appear in the Hebrew or Greek.
Food for thought.
By the way, there have been 4 votes to say there is NO eternal hellfire. Besides myself, who were the other 3 people to vote NO?
God bless.
