You can throw them all around all you like
All that matters is that Jesus came to change it all and he said
John 14:6
“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
That is the only one that matters

After reading much of the original Greek and Aramaic my understanding is Hell is simply "Without God"
As God entails only good and holy, Hell is the opposite

I said he was going somewhere he does not even believe in and it upset him???? LMAO
Perhaps that is why atheists attack Christianity at ever opportunity.. We have what they can never have.. A quiet soul.. A comfortable peace.. A warm blanket of faith
So maybe, just maybe, the insecurity of the non-believer is becoming more and more apparent?
As I am a true believer, I can only pray for their salvation

Clearly im being ignored... So i will take my leave...
Though i will leave this thought
If there is a hell... There are more Christians living there then anyone else...
And very few of them living in "heaven"... If any
Peace

OOOPPPSSS
"The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will collect out of his kingdom all causes of sin and all evildoers, and they will throw them into the furnace of fire, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father" (Matthew 13:41-43).
"When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory. All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats . . . And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life" (Matthew 25:31-46)?
Sorry but it is clear

I agree the lake of fire is a metaphor
An eternity without God is not
It troubles me that one time I was discussing the Bible with a friend and was asked about the belief in Jesus. I responded with the biblical quote that “No one gets to the Father except through Me” the words of Jesus. He then asked if he was going to hell and I said if he did not believe yes… He is a self-professed atheist.. He no longer cares for me which is rather funny if you look at it.

Perhaps it is an example of a lack of intellectual prowess to disparage someone’s intellect based on their beliefs????
