Jesus, I believe spoke metaphorically. There is no pit of fire.

And you would be wrong.

Oh?

And what do the 'scholarly studies' tell us?

Jesus, I believe spoke metaphorically. There is no pit of fire.

  Revelation 22:19 
 
And if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in  this book.

 

 

Oops!

Revelation 19:20: And the beast^[5] was taken, and with him the false prophet^[6] that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

Revelation 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

Revelation 20:14-15 Then Death and Hades^[7] were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.

Revelation 21:8 But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.^[8]

SLB; you'd better hope that JOHN wrote metaphorically; too!
