Just to the burning part.
I believe it was Dante who first said that and it went from there to where we are today.
I believe a better account that’s described in the Bible is an absence or separation from God.
Which is impossible if he's omnipresent, no?
If a God is capable of being omnipresent than I imagine that God is capable of manifesting that in anyway they see fit, no?
There is no separation from an entity that's simultaneously everywhere. It's a fallacy and one you cannot fix with a "separation from God" type of eternal judgement.
There is no separation from something that's everywhere. You want it both ways and you can't have it that way.
We are talking about the God who says “I am the Alpha and Omega”, right?
So how can a God that “just is” have a beginning and an ending?
My point is, human logic based on facts that derive from a persons learnt experiences on Earth is not capable of fully explaining what God is or isn’t capable of, maybe that’s something we can both agree on.?
There’s so much I can’t explain about God, like, where does His power derive from? Yet, I still believe because I realize my logic/understanding is limited to my experience here on Earth or dimension ooor whatever the hell you want to call it🤷🏻♂️
*I just think it’s better I don’t place limitations on God based on what I think is possible.
Also, you are defining the Bible’s use of the word separation as you see fit.
What if it’s actually meant to mean you have no access to God? What if it’s meant to mean the balance of good and evil doesn’t exist where a non-believer goes after death because God has removed Himself from the equation?
We really don’t know what is meant by a separation from God, it’s not clearly defined in the Bible.
My hope for non-believers is that it means there is nothing in-store for them after death, consciousness and life just ends.
The other narratives that man have come up with due to their fear of God, are just that, narratives from a fearful mind.
