Given that it exists, it is either as the Bible describes, let me rephrase that, as the writer interprets it. Let's call that an eternal, burning Hell.
So, given that Hell exists is some form, or another, it is either an eternal, burning Hell, or it is something else. I doesn't matter what else that it is, or how many other something elses it might possibly be. It is either an eternal burning Hell, or it is not.
tha's as binary as it gets. And if it is something else, you can pick them off one by one. Or, you can start with one of the something elses. Assuming there actually is a burning Hell, and that you can accurately eliminate each one that is not an eternal burning Hell. Or alternatively, recognize the true Hell when you consider it, sooner or later you will get to the position that there is a burning Hell. Of course, that's a lot of assumptions
Actually, Hell is thrown into the lake of fire. And the lake of fire is an object in Revelation, the most steeped in symbolism book in the bible. There is no way I believe it is a literal lake of fire. The surface of the Sun would maybe be called a lake of fire to some.
Also, when dealing with eternity we must be careful about ascribing it to a length of time, even if infinite. The linear time in which we live is a part of creation and this creation will be destroyed. So whenever I see phrases in the bible like “eternity”, forever and ever, etc. I see it as trying to explain the color “red” to a person that only sees in grayscale.
"The biblical description regarding hell and those who go there is either true or false."
The unspoken premise behind that is there is only one interpretation of scripture regarding hell. Many Christians have read the same Bible as the author, prayerfully, asking the Holy Spirit for guidance in understanding, and come to the conclusion that death is not eternal (miserable) life.
I don't care to debate the hell issue. My reason for posting was the express my opinion that the author is dishonest, disrespectful of Christians who disagree with his interpretation, does NOTHING to bring souls to Jesus, and only causes distension among Christians.
binary oppositions: God/Satan, Heaven/Hell
One does not exist without the other.
