MLG: I think where the easterns have difficulty here is the terminology of "place", which means a location in spacial dimensions, whereas they see the separation from God, ...... as one being of a purely spiritual condition, of "darkness" or the absence of Light. But in that construct, it is forgotten that the wicked will be resurrected to a real, physical body, which indeed does require a "place" since that body has spacial dimensions.

FK: That's right. The scriptures are clear on that. To build in allegory without scriptural support for their own position is forced.

The only thing the Scriptures is clear on is that the heaven is "up" there and hell is "down" somewhere in earth. Do you believe hell is in earth?

And where did you get that idea from. Certainly it was not the Scriptures, which you consider to be myths.

The OT and NT state that hell is a "place" by all accountd in earth (underground). The NT also speaks of Christ coming "down" through the clouds and ascending "up" through the clouds into heaven.

Why is it so difficult for you to answer a simple question with a simple "yes" or "no?"
