I am not trying to be over dramatic about this, but it honestly makes me want to cry. Yes, I want to see God "in person" more then anything in this world. And I can say that with my full honesty. But at the expense of even the worst of humans to be sent to suffering and torment... It just doesn't seem fair, idk why I feel like this. But, anytime I think of this I think of Billions suffering for 'our' early home coming.
Figures of speech and symbolism is used in Revelation and in all the Bible. you have to be willing, to take time out of your day to study.
Study to show yourself approved by God, etc. as written. ..
What the Bible teaches is more that, those who have had one, "fair" chance at the truth, if they chose themselves to fight against God at the end, will be blotted out of existence; Not that they will be actually burning forever... to know that, you have to study. But your going on assumptions and half truths of others, I can only assume.
Matthew 10:28
King James Version (KJV)
28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
Destroy the soul it says, Not torture the soul... All other places you read of a burning forever, are figures of speech, that you have to learn to recognize . 9 burning, forever, means that the soul will die in its sins, forever. Forever meaning, that there is no coming back from that... Not that they are in fire forever. Figure of speech . That's all I can tell you. People may disagree with that. but your going to have to decide on your own what is the truth. I say study what is written, and learn what it means.
