Hi Ervin,
Quote:When ever I try to emagine how it would be like to be doomed to eternity of the unberable suffering I end up feeling bad and look for explanations of God and the scriptures that can be interpreted as death as a punishment rather than eternal torment.It depends on which "scriptures" you are talking about. The Qur'an, for example, is very explicit about eternal conscious torment. The Christian Scriptures, however, make clear that death (eternal destruction) is the consequence of sin, although there are some passages which have been traditionally (and wrongly) interpreted as implying eternal conscious torment.
