As a Christian I have been having this thoughts, will God who is all loving and all merciful actually allow man created in His image to burn in fire forever?
John 3:16 says, for God so love that world that He gave His one and only begotten Son, the whosoever believes in Him shall not "PERISH" but have everlasting life. Now the word perish means cease to exist.
The Bible makes it clear that we have an imputed sin, through the Adamic bloodline we share. This means irrespective of what we do or say, we are all sinners except we confess and believe in Christ as Lord and personal savior.
Now imagine someone who hasn't heard the Gospel being judged on the ground of Adamic sin which he/she inherited? And then thrown to fire forever. On a crime that wasn't really his. Even the Bible says, God won't hold a son accountable for the sins of His father. So why will we be judged on this sins of Adam and Eve?
Pls help a brother who is almost losing it.

Let me also ask, is God going to give man eternal life, is it not too much?

lol. will man enjoy eternally in heaven?

Yeees! Yes, yes and yes Again!

And what is your proof to support that shallow statement of yours?

God is not judging man based on his inherited sin but based on his works, Abraham, Noah never knew the Lord Jesus in the flesh yet they were saved, the work of creation is enough to convince any man about God's existence and if they desire to draw near to him he will manifest himself to them and they will be saved.
but in the book of Romans people knew about God but they changed the truth of God into a lie, Jesus said humans love darkness more than light because their works are evil. so the excuse of not knowing Jesus does not fly because according to psalm 19 the glory of God is revealed in the very heavens and the earth declare his wondrous works, so no body can have any excuse.

yes humans in the lake of fire will burn forever because sin is that serious.
If Jesus who is the son of God suffered such terror, even God turned his face from him on the cross then you should know the seriousness of sin before God.

Think about it, jesus did not burn in hell forever and ever, although he suffered.
So I believe when the bible refers to everlasting fire, it is referring to utter destruction without hope of entering God's kingdom. This is the worst fate reserved only for Satan and his Angels. Hellfire is simply death or utter destruction. There is no time measurement in it from my understanding.
Except you are telling me that God would simply create a new body for humans only to burn it forever and ever, or with what body would they suffer forever and ever?

There is no being as Merciful as God. The Reason why he forgives even the vilest of sinners. Hell is not created for man, but man will go there for refusing to receive the free gift of salvation given to him.
Before a man goes, he is given lots and lots of chances to Repent. We need to treat this Matter of eternity very seriously!
Hell is real! Heaven is real

For when Love and Mercy is Rejected, what else remains? Is it not Judgements for the Wrongs and Wickedness and Evil you have Done?

Rather than Stop Doing All that is Not Good or Wrong or Wicked or Evil, you are rather playing for Nothingness or Poof!

God, being your Enemy, who sees and knows the desire in your soul, and the thoughts of your heart, Do you think that Your Great Enemy Shall grant you this desire, Knowing you desire it? (I am sure you know a thing or two about Enemies and you Verily Know that Scattering Enemy Plans and Desires Is Always on the Table.

Wrong! God is Good and your teachers have not explained it clearly to you.

You are Liable and Judged for Your Own Specific Sins not someone else's offence or sin, but Your Own Offences and your own wrongs

One of the Things we got from Adam is the decision to CHOOSE To do wrongs and Not goods, Wickedness and Evils!

So if you do any of these things without a Good Defence, Lake of Fire is waiting for you.

Anyway it was God's Original Plan that we Live Forever, In Goodness and Riches and Satisfaction and Laughter and Joy.

So this is His Way Of Restoring His Original Plan, with Amendments now, Only For Those Who Want It.

But since you want limited life, it can be arranged!

Sodom and Gomorrah did not burn forever, they were simply destroyed by fire. If that is an example of what God would do, then it could mean Hellfire is not about burning forever but utter destruction that stands forever, meaning the soul is forever erased from the memory of God like the cities Sodom and Gomorrah.

Yes, they were physically burned on earth by Fire From the Lord, then they traveled First Class, to Lake of Fire, for Eternal living in Shame and Contempt.

You have measured forever in terms of time but no. Forever imply that time spent doesn't exist (time for is meaningless).

For you to comprehend this: in dreams how long is time? Time is meaningless in dreams. A person can have a dream of 5 minutes yet have a dream equivalent to months.

Everlasting life just simply is where time is meaningless

No. The present hell is temporal, but there is one that men should be afraid to get into, that is the Lake of Fire which is the hell of the world to come. It was specially prepared for Satan and his angels.

But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him. (Acts 10:35).

Also, you know that God is wise and looks at intent. Some truly did it out of ignorance and God will give them another chance to learn righteousness even in the world to come. They will start from the beginning.

What men should avoid is not to have their names blotted out of the Book of Life. Everyone's name is there, but there are things some will do on this earth that will cause their names to be blotted out. And it is convincing that most who will have their name blotted out have died the second death on earth. They can no longer respond to God like Satan.


The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked. But now he commands that all people everywhere should repent. (Acts 17:30).

Sin, like Covid-19, is infectious. Everyone is easily infected by it because it is a way of life. What runs our earth is sin. So, forget that thing that what I know nothing about. Even the way we think, engage the earth, is sinful. They now need to start unlearning and unwinding what you have learnt from birth. Our parents start teaching us sin from birth. It is a philosophy, rudiments, transmission, not just wrong acts...our eyesight, the way we see and judge things.

Time would not be meaningless if there's no end to the experience.
Would the person ever leave the fire? even dreams at least come to an end.

I think you are taking the bible too literally. So when jesus says there are many mansions in my father's house, you interprete this as real mansions with toilets and kitchens?
Also sex is not a problem, sex like food are part of the things we enjoy in this world.
If sex is been misused in this world, then it would not be misused in the next world, since we have now all become holy.

There is no way that you want to look at sex, which will not invite lust which is evil. So a wise solution would be to kill sex, Lust Dies!

And besides, is that not what made the Angels in Genesis 6:2 to fall and go to hell, Awaiting Judgement of Lake of Fire? 2 Peter 2:4

Therefore, it is written

“For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.” Matthew 22:30

Is lust for food a bad thing? We would eat in heaven but now as holy beings, we know that overfeeding is a sin, in thesame way, why not have sex in a holy way?
I know you have bible portions to support your argument though, I am only wondering why, if there is food then why no sex? Afterall there would be no sexually transmitted diseases, and God could just abolish pregnancy from nature, to make it all about fun.

Daejoyoung:

The issue is can you quantify the time spent in a dream?

Would the righteous get tired of living FOREVER?

Don't forget that on the New earth, the Sun is not responsible for their light.
Rev 21:23: "And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof."

Rev 22:5: "And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God gives them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever."

I understand oh, but when I thought about our Lords statement on it, and I agree with Him that it gats to go, else, we would have to go through these Filteration Process again and see how hard it is just to enter that Good Estate!

Meen, I do not wish to write this tests again oh! Meen it is hard Already to Pass it!

Sex always brings lust which brings competition which brings jealousy which brings anger which brings debate which brings Death! All these elements are bad and are inseparable.
