Not arguing for the joy of it, but rather to correct your erroneous assertions. Without Jesus, the lost are cast into the Lake of Fire, never to escape. Not sure what you hope to accomplish by arguing a limited punishment, but it seems to be that you think they will escape the eternal nature of it, and will only be persecuted for a season. If that is the case, you are in error. If you think they will only be limited in the severity of their eternal punishment, ok, but in the lake of fire they remain.
I have been a combination of extremely busy & away from my computer. I will plan, Lord willing, to reply to your comments either this evening or tomorrow.
‘Not sure what you hope to accomplish by arguing a limited punishment, but it seems to be that you think they will escape the eternal nature of it, and will only be persecuted for a season.’
This is a complete & total misstatement of what I have said so far. How could you even passingly have read my comments & derived such a misguided idea about them? I really urge you to go back & read what I’ve written on this topic a second time, a third if necessary. Id at any point you feel you have grasped what I’m saying, please feel free to paraphrase it. I will tell you if you got it right or not. As for what you posted above, it represents a one-hundred percent misunderstanding of my comments.
