So how do you figure
Do you believe that the rich man is in a purgatory scenario

So you believe everyone will be redeemed at some stage
Sorry just trying to understand your point of view
I once read that hell was not eternal for humanity, sounded interesting, spent a good lot of time studying it but still undecided
When I say not eternal, there was no salvation for those judged, just that they met a point of non existence
Glad I am not in charge
So can you give a simple and concise explanation of your understanding of hell

Rex, you are probably correct, but I have this bias in writing this book, and that is to deconstruct the cartoon doctrine of Hell. Other perspectives doubtless lead to different interpretations, and I do understand His message meant to reach some ears and minds, and not others. The whole of His ministry can be seen as "many are called, but few are chosen," but His message is much bigger than that.

Rex, I like your viewpoint. Do you really think I am trying to set up new doctrine? I thought I was only deconstructing Hell...
