What's the purpose of burning something? To destroy it. Why jump to the illogical conclusion that Satan will survive the fire instead of being incinerated? The Bible makes no indication of that.

Eternal damnation...does not sound like simply vanishing. Eternally gone wouldn't be so bad, eternally damned doesn't sound good.

HELL

Post by twoedgedsword »

ok voice for some one who isn't supposed to be jokerwittness. you certainly talk like one.
they believe the same thing you do, hell is also referred to as outer darkness, where do you think Jesus is talking about in the "rich man and the beggar." Luke 16:19-31.
Specifically verse 23 where the rich man is cast into hell but also claims to be in agony because of the fire.
One thing you need to remember is that fire is also used to refine.
fire is used figuratively more often than not to describe a method of refining people.

Lazarus and the rich man is a parable, it never happened.

I'm not a JW. And actually, I know a few mainstream Christians who believe that the soul is destroyed and not tortured forever.

There are that many verses? Dang.
"My actions prove that God takes care of idiots."

He occasionally stumbled over the truth, but hastily picked himself up and hurried on as if nothing had happened.
- On Stanley Baldwin

-Winston Churchill

An atheist can't find God for the same reason a criminal can't find a police officer.

You need to start asking out girls so that you can get used to the rejections.
