Is the doctrine of Eternal Conscious Torment biblical or not?

So, what's the claim?

If you blow it in this life, you remain separated from God for all eternity?
Just wander around with no one to talk to?

You burn in hellfire for all eternity?
Like the burning bush, but never burn up?

God expects us to forgive, but He refuses?
He is unable?
He is too Righteous to forgive everyone?

You were too busy laughing to speak, "I'll be laughing."

From the Freedictionary:

1. great merriment or delight, often caused by someone else's misfortune

in other words, you can't

i suspect artie won't be able to either

When word came of the Seals' successful execution of Osama bin Laden, my reaction was one of positivity - not joy, not laughter, not glee - positivity, satisfaction

certainly not compassion and empathy for the poor poor dead murdering moosie


how about you two?

artie - did you respond to the news of the death of bin Laden with compassion and empathy?

how about you glory?

Matthew 10:14-15 King James Version (KJV)

14 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.

15 Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.

that certainly doesn't sound very empathetic or compassionate

there has been suggestion that everlasting punishment really meant everlasting correction/chastisement. the scolding is everlasting, because the deep wrong deed is not continued.

let's see how that would work in Hitler's case


God: "Bad Hitler! Don't ever do that again or I won't let you into heaven!"

Hitler: "OK. Sorry."

God: "Good Hitler! Come on in!"

both of you appear to be fixated on my statement that i will be standing alongside God laughing at the wicked as they earn their just reward

get over it

it reminds me of the bananahead's obsession with my statement that some people deserve to be raped :dizzy:
