Quote: but appearently everyone who suggested oblivion did not understand that hell would eventually lead to oblivion,No one cares, going through hell - to get somewhere else- is still not an -alternative- to hell. It's just hell...over and over and over and over.....
Quote: even though it has been explained at least a dozen times in this thread.Your explanations aren't a very credible source round these parts dearest. This has been the fruit of your labor.
Quote: That said, understand I am not asking my question to replace Hell for Hell. I am asking so that those who can't seem to fathom a hell outside of the inferno Dante has painted for them, has a better understanding of what the NT describes as Hell.Dante wrote better fiction than you or the boys who cobbled your book together. That's why his vision (and not really uniquely his, mind you) stuck and no one cares about yours, or theirs.
Quote:I have hoped in vain that just one of you would come to the understanding that oblivion is the final destination of everyone on the path to Hell will come to. Thus forcing just one of you to give me an chance to explore something other than what God has slated for the condemned. However all anyone seems to want is heaven or the very same hell God has prepared for satan and his angels..Coming to an understanding requires that there be something to understand. Since we're talking about hell like it's a place - that gets ruled out.I don't want either, btw (heaven or hell).
Quote:This is all very interesting. I am completely surprised. Understand I am not saying all of you are doomed to hell, but at least one or two of you who answered 'oblivion' are.So sayeth almighty drich, weigher of souls and redeemer of the damned....careful, you might get struck down or mauled by a bear for making such pronouncements. I've heard that's a thing that definitely happens.
Quote:I strikes me that we even in our rebellion of God still only wants what God has only ever offered.As I mentioned above, and in my previous post-I wan't nothing from you, and you have nothing to offer me in this regard.
