Look, we can play battling links, but that won’t really get anywhere. I posted a link also, which addressed all of those verses and the context in which they are given. If you don’t want to read that, fine, but don’t expect me to disect a long blog on Freerepublic.

I will just reference you back to my first post. I used to preach an eternal Hell and I know all of the verses dealing with Hell/Hades/Ghalena/Sheol/etc. but like you, I just parroted what others had told me without really reading what those verses really said. In the end you can not find ANYWHERE in the Bible where we are immortal before accepting Christ. Second, you can’t ignore what Revelation says about the destruction of Hell and all that were in it in the Lake of Fire.

Now, maybe it’s too hard for you to accept what the Bible lays out right now. I understand. Many good Christians have been mislead on this doctrine, but I am thoroughly convinced after much reading and studying of the Bible that the eternity for the unbeliever is complete and total ellimination in the Lake of Fire. Now that doesn’t mean that they won’t suffer for a time in Hell, but that time is finite and will end.
