If you want to be technical about it, I never explicitly stated that I concluded hell was eternal, and I did, technically, tell you not to take the original website's word for it.
If, hypothetically, hell were to both exist and serve as a finite sentence, then what happens when the sentence is over? What if you were sent there for blaspheming the holy spirit, which is unforgiveable?
Also, what is 'practically eternal'? Wouldn't that be indefinite, like 'almost infinite'? (I know they aren't your words, but I wonder if you have any ideas). Or, perhaps, does it mean "for all practical purposes" eternal, even though technically finite.
