In the Bible, he doesn't...
"eternal" is really just an eon and besides that, hell isn't real, it's a Greek myth. 
Sorry, in Revelation it talks about people being tortured in the lake of fire forever, and the ones being burned "the smoke riseth to heaven forever and ever."
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

Catfish's religion is cherry picking. He is the ultimate religious cherry picker. He doesn't like a lot of what the Bible says but he's still a gullible sheep.
He doesn't like Hell, guess what ... it's not in there. There's a LOT in the Bible he just conveniently changes to fit his own home-made christianity. He should call it Cherryanity.

No. I merely think you are full of shit.
I thought I told you that before?

“When his life was ruined, his family killed, his farm destroyed, Job knelt down on the ground and yelled up to the heavens, "Why god? Why me?" and the thundering voice of God answered, There's just something about you that pisses me off.”

That's just Drich justifying atrocities, fictional though they are. It's nothing new.

Sorry, you should research the Greek words yourself, just sayin'....

The story of Job [according to NAB] is, "exquisite, dramatic, didactic poem". Writer unknown."
Personally, I don't like reading Job often. Although interesting, and entertaining its too dramatic even by OT standards.
The Lord would never put someone with Jobs' faith through such a trial. Never mind making a deal with the Devil.
