“eternal damnation.
Or, as some would say, eternal punishment.”
The meaning of words matter.
Damnation is to have progression stopped.
Unless the punishment is to have your progression stopped, you can progress while being punished.
Well, my point is that people ascribe overly detailed attributes to the word “punishment”. On its own, it doesn’t describe the death penalty, sitting in the corner with a dunce cap, or anything else. It needs to be established what the punishment actually is.
Same with damnation. Too many people ascribe meaning to it that is not really there.
