    I have heard nothing good about hell, so I would not want to go there. To be separated for all eternity from God the Creator of all things does not sound like a good thing at all.

    "And if your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it from you; it is better for you to enter life crippled or lame, than having two hands or two feet, to be cast into the eternal fire," (Matt. 18:8).1

    Following are a few verses that show the eternality of the hell and punishment. God uses different phrases to describe the same thing.

    • "And these will pay the penalty of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power," (2 Thess. 1:9).
    • "Just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, since they in the same way as these indulged in gross immorality and went after strange flesh, are exhibited as an example, in undergoing the punishment of eternal fire" (Jude 7).
    • These men are those who are hidden reefs in your love feasts when they feast with you without fear, caring for themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn trees without fruit, doubly dead, uprooted; 13 wild waves of the sea, casting up their own shame like foam; wandering stars, for whom the black darkness has been reserved forever," (Jude12-13)

    I'm not plugging for his banishment. Jussayin' that saying we make our own hell or heaven is pretty close to a denial of the faith.

    Luke 16 is not a parable. There is zero time textual reason to say that it is a parable, for example, when Jesus used parables he often used the phrase “like unto” or “as” and he often would give an interpretation of the parable, furthermore Jesus named Lazarus in Luke 16, There isn’t a single other place where Jesus named a person and used them in a parable. The only reason you choose to treat Luke 16 as a parable is because it refutes your false doctrine of soul sleep. Repent of your false 7th Day Adventist doctrines.

    Again, the original does not mean or say "eternal" or "forever" but "age-abiding". An eon is not an eternity.

    So, you don't think that what we believe and do here is what determines our condition in the afterlife?

    That's not what you said in post #7 Hell

    "Would you not agree that we are already making our own hell or heaven based on what we do here?"

    Our beliefs and actions determine our condition in the afterlife, and that condition begins here. That's what I meant.

    And some apparently do not. I replied also to Scarlet, and EWF, relating to this.

    I don't deny hell. The duration of it is what is in question.

    The question is, what did the words translated "eternal" mean literally and in the original. They did not mean eternal. It is not I who is changing scripture.

    What did Jesus do when he descended to hell after his crucifixion? Why did he do it?

    Yes, indeed. And some non-Catholics are good at carrying on the tradition.

    Always glad to contribute to the merriment of one's soul.

    Ever heard of Primitive Baptist Universalists -- the "no-hellers? I'm not that, btw.
