I’ve got a question. Read this, please:
And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life. Matt 25:46 RSV
So what is “eternal punishment”? Is it a place where people will be sent forever, or is it simply a place that will always exist?
When I was a boy and misbehaved, I was sent to my room as a punishment. The room was always there to be sent to. However, I wasn’t sent there forever; I was only sent there until my parents determined I’d been there long enough. Is that what eternal punishment is like, or do people get sent there forever?
