Mathematically speaking, I will always have spent one extra day in Hell, and your suffering will always be lesser to mine in sheer amount inflicted over time.
How can you truly be in Hell when comparatively I will always have known greater suffering?
Well, there can't be a paradox there. Infinite suffering has been decreed to avenge God's mighty offense at human sin, and God will get it no matter what.
God is infinite (whatever the fuck that means), so perhaps, infinite torment can be meted out instantaneously ?
Whatever your 'end state' is after an infinite duration of infinite pain, it would still be knowable to an all knowing God, even before He's had it done to anyone, and I'm thinking, it could be implemented/inflicted upon a deserving sinner over any time interval God's whim happened to whim. Whether over an actual eternity or in the blink of an eye, God'll get you.
In other words, ANKA, you've essentially set us on the path to concluding that God's infinite torment is essentially timeless.
Good work there.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
