Re: Does Hell Exist?
Post #372It is symbolic of complete destruction, non-existence. "Torment" was used to show that the devil and his minions would not be able to do anything, as if they were jailed. That signifies their total obliteration. The Scripture says that they would be "jailed" forever, to never be able to carry out any of their plans, a poetic way of saying they will absolutely die.myth-one.com wrote: ↑Wed Nov 06, 2024 2:24 pmWhat about the lake of fire and brimstone?JehovahsWitness wrote: ↑Wed Nov 06, 2024 12:34 pm There is no place were the devil, demons or wicked people continue to exist indefinitely.

Post #373If that is your interpretation, would you agree that Sodom and Gomorrha still on fire today?myth-one.com wrote: ↑Wed Nov 06, 2024 2:24 pmWhat about the lake of fire and brimstone?JehovahsWitness wrote: ↑Wed Nov 06, 2024 12:34 pm There is no place were the devil, demons or wicked people continue to exist indefinitely.

Jud 1:7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire
