Well you definitely don't believe in the Bible then.
So do you think the physical descriptions of hell are wrong then, if people just simply perish after death and cease to exist? Why is there a "realm of the dead" then spoken of in the Bible if the dead don't even exist anymore? Why do other translations use "eternal punishment" when referencing hell?
You are an absolute idiot if you read about the "realm of the dead" in the Bible and think that people just cease to exist after death.
“Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”
"The wicked go down to the realm of the dead, all the nations that forget God."
"If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go into hell, where the fire never goes out."
The fire never goes out.
"In a similar way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire."
"“Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels."
Punishment of eternal fire.
"The path of life leads upward for the prudent to keep them from going down to the realm of the dead."
"because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead, you will not let your holy one see decay."
REALM OF THE DEAD
"The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done."
Gave up the dead?? But you said that the dead just perish and cease to exist afterwards!
"Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death."
Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire now? What is this second death here that the Bible is speaking of now? I'm surprised you didn't use this verse when I baited you by asking about the Bible talking about hell being the second death. It sure doesn't seem to describe what you are offering at all.
BUT WAIT FOR IT -- HERES THE BEST ONE
"And the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur where the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever."
FOR EVER AND EVER? So this is what the Lake of Fire is. This is where everyone and everything is cast in the end.
"“Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels"
So... you still think people just simply cease to exist after death, and are not tormented... FOR EVER AND EVER?? Because if you do, you didn't get the idea from the Bible.
IM REALLY INTERESTED IN HOW YOULL RESPOND TO WHAT THE BIBLE HAS TO SAY ON THIS MATTER.
Dude, how about some book and chapter references? It’s gonna take me a minute to address this
