Are Christians who then characterize hell as a divorce from God's love, rather than a punishment (the divorce is seen by them as the punishment), incorrect in their conception? What is it about the nature of hell that "restricts" an omnipotent God from allowing a person to repent after they have experienced the terms of his punishment? Or is hell a place where its occupants will have no desire to do so? Or is God simply unwilling to forgive at that point?
