Remember, immediately after the 1000 year earthly kingdom reign of Christ, this universe will destroyed and there will be a new creation of heaven and earth that will be permanently sealed of from evil and sin. That would mean that Hell would be in another dimension (or it’s equivalent, and probably is not yet created). Man is a spiritual being (the meaning of made in God’s image) and as such has eternal existence; aka, angels who watch as God laid the foundation of the earth some 4.5 billion years ago. Salvation on the other hand results in a person losing their old corrupted sinful nature at time of death.
Ref*
Blasphemy:* When trending in this direction, there is an ongoing animosity towards God (here again, maybe some trepid steps towards salvation’s direction but not enough to change the downward trend). “
Salvation: When trending in this direction, the person is coming to an understanding of what’s required to inherit ‘eternal life’. That person recognizes what God requires (repentance, acceptance of God’s forgiveness, and surrender to God’s authority).
Whoops, sorry, dickless shitstain, we all know you don't believe any of that. The magic book says so.
The study of Eschatology is highly recommended to put things in perspective.**
