This is not directed at anyone in particular but those of you that think hell is eternal are gravely mistaken, all things created have to have an end and hell is created therefore will have an end.......don't know when or how long but when that happens Satan and his followers will cease to exist.
Sorry for the bad news.. Do you believe in God's infinite love but not in eternal damnation?

Sorry for the bad news.. Do you believe in God's infinite love but not in eternal damnation? in a sense to be seperated from God would be eternal so I believe in both in that sense but hell is for a time and will be destroyed at some point. I'm saying hell is not eternal because nothing of satan is eternal.

As are your decisions or anyone else's. I don't think we're far off in these things, other than I find it hard to believe it's an accident. Neither do I. I believe there is something greater out there but I'm not going to let man and his common theme of fear make me believe his version. If I'm wrong, I've accepted the consequences. Nothing wrong with that, it's probably close to the truth... whatever the truth is... no man can claim to know for sure... and there's nothing wrong with that either. Kent

Thanks. I say angelic, 'cause sometimes you have to reconcile the fact that you can be hard and still be a servant of God. Yep. If you study up on angels you will find they are never mentioned as feminine or having wings. There was a reason the first thing the angel told the shepherds was "Fear not".

I'm perfectly content to let Jesus decide � not all the "I am" claimants nor any of the self-appointed "you ain't" judgers.
How many ways into the kingdom of God are there? Here too, I'm perfectly content to let only Him decide. I'm pretty sure that others' opinions don't overrule His decrees regarding the matter.
I don't recall that He was ever reticent about either matter, either.
But those are just a couple of my opinions. I'd like to meet you some day Mr. Howell. You seem to be a man of great integrity and that's something I have a great deal of admiration for. May God Bless You and your family.

all things created have to have an end Our souls were created, yet we're to believe they are immortal.

I'm saying hell is not eternal because nothing of satan is eternal. Keep in mind the difference between eternal (of which only God is) and immortal, of which are the angels and our souls.

Kent To be clear, I have nothing against anyone who believes in a specific higher being and I really hope they find the eternal salvation they're looking for. Whatever it may be. I've just chosen a different path. Right or wrong.

I believe there is something greater out there but I'm not going to let man and his common theme of fear make me believe his version. If I'm wrong, I've accepted the consequences. We're basically on the same page. IMHO, a man's religous beliefs are the most personal thing in the world. Your actions mean everything... your words nothing...unless your words discourage somebody else from doing the right thing. I am way too small to judge.

If you study up on angels you will find they are never mentioned as feminine or having wings. There was a reason the first thing the angel told the shepherds was "Fear not". Scott, some angels were described as having wings, e.g., "Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings ..." Isaiah 6:2
