Yes, I could agree with that, but let me run this by you. I am certainly not dogmatic, but I think that Hell and the lake of fire are two different places. The only difference, is that one is temporary, the other is permanent. I think that suffering in Hell begins IMMEDIATELY at death, and is the same suffering they will experience in the lake of fire. I picture it like being in county jail, which is temporary, as opposed to being in state prison, which is permanent. Again, not dogmatic, and for the redeemed, it really IS a moot point. 😅
That would be very similar to Roman Catholic dogma of purgatory which for which I find no scriptural support for.
The language of Rev, can and has been used to support eternal torment, but the apocalyptic wording make easy understanding. Very difficult in comparison to the many passages in the other books of the New Testament that seem to put the knowtion of eternal life or destruction as the operative duality. As we agree that to those safe in Christ the point is as you say moot.
