Bob - Simply put Romans 6:23 says the wages sin pays is death not Torture eternally - Adam was told from dust you were created and to dust you Shall return in genesis 3:19 - Fire in the Bible is used symbolically and is the Perfect symbol for complete destruction - it reduces things to Dust and ashes and gases -
Imagine someone burning in a fire yelling and screaming in pain Not for an hour or day or year but billions of years with no end - That's demonic - look at how man views torture - is man more Just and loving and righteous than the one who created him and All the wonderous things in the universe -
What did he tell Adam - in the day you decide you no longer wish To love by goodness and righteousness - you will die - not be burned Forever in a so called hellfire -
By deciding he was wise enough to be on his own and make all the right Decisions on his own - he cut off the source of life for himself - namely his Creator - he was on his own and not having the potential to live forever he Originally had - he died and went back to dust -psalm 146:3,4-and 104:29
Can mankind direct his own steps without the direction of one who Personifies wisdom and goodness and righteousness - Look at history from Adam's rebellion onward and you get your Answer - Jeremiah 10:23 says it all -
The Bible says God is love - the personification of love- There is no way torture or torment in a fire is an act of love - It is fiendish -- demonic - man kills wild dogs -not burns them In a fire - death is the ultimate penalty - everlasting death for The Incorrigibly wicked like the one called Satan and Devil in The Bible -
When the issues raised in Eden by the 3 rebels against Almighty God's Universal Sovereignty are finally settled, as foretold in the scriptures -- Then humankind will enjoy what the Creator had purposed for creating Them and the earth in the first place - genesis 1:25-28-
Everlasting life with perfect body's of youth and a brain that never Gets full of learning new things on a paradise earth - Psalm 115:16 -- Isaiah 45:18 -- Matthew 6::9,10 -- psalm 37:9-11,29 Matthew 5:5 --Isaiah 11:6-9-- Let the entire Bible speak for itself ---
