Discussion on eternity in hell January 22nd, 2016 Ed Chait Yesterday at 1:42am Nobody spends their eternity in hell, but we say it all the time. LikeComment Seen by 38 Comments Fred Becker More accurate then would be eternal punishment. Or lake of fire. Like · Reply · 1 · Yesterday at 3:34am Pstr Richard J Rizzi ??????? Please elaborate and cite Scripture? This is the doctrine of annihilation, maybe? What us the basis for such a statement?

I can live with that. My view is that Hades is in Sheol and its cast into the LoF and that LoF is Hell. Bottom line – eternal suffering no matter what we call it.

Other terms such as Paradise, Abraham’s Bosom, Tartarus, Abyss, and the grave are also examined.

I don’t want to go to any of it and I want God to use me to plant seeds, harvest crops and encourage others so that they don’t have to worry about it either! One day we’ll know all we need to know and I’m good with that! wink emoticon Like · Reply · 3 · Yesterday at 10:36am Pstr Richard J Rizzi Some will find truth as we use weed killer. smile emoticon Like · Reply · 2 · Yesterday at 10:54am Pstr Richard J Rizzi after some more thinking… I personally do not think its really a secondary or insignificant doctrine – the issue of eternal condemnation. Part of the gospel is the contrast of God’s justice. He cannot accept sin in His kingdom so He must condemn people to an eternity apart from Him. Hell was never created for mankind but for Satan and the angels who followed him. God created Hell to contain all that sin is. In this circle of writers for GQ, we can wade through “weeds” together for the purpose of growing deeper in our faith and encourage one another to dig real deep in the Word. We may never talk with an unbeliever about the subject above but we might get a question regarding this. How will we answer if or when it comes? I feel confident that I will be ready and would like to encourage all of us to be ready with an answer.
