You have a different idea of what "eternal" means than most people.
I have a lot of different ideas, that’s why I am an interesting person to talk to.
(Thanks for the compliment)
Who wants to think exactly like everyone else?
Tell me; Is it eternal punishment because it goes on forever, or because that is one of God’s names?
(I love these questions, you never get the same answer twice and usually you learn some thing you didn’t before)
Remember, David was promised that God would not leave his soul in Hell, after he committed Uriah’s murder so he could marry Bathsheba.
