The concept of Hell discourages belief

[John V]

Personally, I don't find the Greeth myth(s) very convincing.

Neither do I.

Some see the aeonian issue as indicative of the 1000 year reign of Christ. Some will be raised to rule, others will stay behind until the "final" resurrection.

The 1,000 year reign is a time of peace and prosperity. It makes no sense to say this is what verses on torment are referring to.

You should also be aware that the Greek word which actually means eternal(aidios) is used in the Bible too.

I'm well aware that that word is used - once. I dispute that it is the word for eternal.

So, if aeonian was meant as "eternal", why wasn't the same word used everywhere?

Sorry to be frank, but that's a stupid question. Languages frequently have more than one word for the same concept. With regard to eternal life, we could say everlasting life and people would understand it the same way.

There are also indications of eternal punishment independent of aionios, such as their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched.
