Go here:

Then select the scriptures tab, and then the Traditionalism and conditionalism tabs to get the most common scriptures used by both. All sorts of comments there on most of them.

It actually discusses Rev 20:10.

Regardng Rev 21:8, it’s one of my favorites. In the first chapters of revelation, the churches are called lampstands. and here the second death is called a lake of fire. Keeping in mind, we’re talking “revelation” here, which is a vision chock full of metaphores and symbols, do you REALLY think the churches are literal lampstands, and the second death is a literal lake of fire?

Some would argue that the fire that consumes is God, himself. There is scripture to support that belief. I know just a brief encounter was pretty dramatic for Moses.

Don’t bother going to “Rethinking Hell,” it is the typical rant from one who picks one particular verse to completely misunderstand and twist into a safety valve for those that know they are not on Yehova’s plan, but think the alternative may be OK.

They reject the very literal words of the Revelation, and declare them to be metaphor and beyond the understanding of the very people to whom it was written. (IOW, our Elohim must really be a trickster with a twisted sense of humor)

They cannot even see that the seven lampstands are the Menorah, and that we are to be the Chanukites of end days.

Telling someone that “there is ‘scripture’ to support their belief” but being unwilling to post the scripture is somewhat reminescent of Hillary Clinton at Monday’s ‘debate.’
