Seems like this would over joy the pious. Hell being staggeringly and majestically worse than previously anticipated has got to be the best news they've received in a long time.
The idea before, infinite torment over infinite time, means after 1/2 of an infinite amount of time, a given damned soul would only be 1/2 punished. With this new and improved understanding, that infinite punishment for an infinite period time can be distilled and imbued upon sinners instantaneously upon their arrival in hell, meaning they will be experiencing the sum of their infinite torments for an infinite amount of time from the get go.
No 'ramping up' on it, if you will, you start off with all the meters pegged, and they stay there.
This is WAY worse.
For instance, a specific torment like being administered a molten lava enema everyday for billions and billions and trillions of centuries, can be instead, delivered all at once. You would not be sequentially punished, in other words, all punishment would be inflicted upon delivery of your IMMORTAL soul in the first 1X10^-43 of a second. You would then spend an eternal eternity at that maximum level of already having been punished infinitely.
In the first interpretation, it takes an infinite amount of time for the infinite punishments to accrue, now, those infinite punishments in their totality would be understood to be experienced for that infinite duration.
This is infinitely worse.
Praise Jesus !!
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
