A couple of things:

First, you brought up “they have no rest day and night” ...

There are plenty of scriptures discussing that. The phrase means that the event has no breaks. The phrase itself does not speak to the length of the event.

Second, and this is the one that really is kinda odd in this thread. You said, “You have departed from a Biblical understanding of who God is ... and have substituted a god fashioned to your own liking ...”

Too many here are personalizing this to mean that if I disagree with them I am departed from a biblical understanding..., when all I’ve really done is disagree with them using the same bible. Note I am not responding in like kind. Nor would I. It’s not the point.

The “good news” part of the message is what saves, not my “opinion” about what happens to the unsaved.

You are wrapping yourself around a symantic axel. If "they have no rest day or night" means there are no breaks in their torment ... then the torment will never have a break, therefore, ITS ETERNAL!!

And I suggest you go re-read your own posting ... the reason Pinnock and Russell had a problem with hell was exactly the reason I mentioned, they could not fashion a god in their mind that was moral ... and still just. That is no way to proceed in theological studies.

Christ died needlessly in your theology.
