:::I appreciate the kind thoughts, and pray for the Lord to continue guiding you likewise, especially as I believe we are currently in the last days.

Ok, let's start with whether hell is eternal but we can discuss it down below.
== Is Hell Eternal? ==
Here is Matthew 25:
"41“Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: 42for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; 43I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’
44“Then they also will answer [d]Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ 45Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ 46And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
Points to note:
1. The wicked go into everlasting fire, the same prepared for the devil and his angels.
2. They go there because they refused to love God and their neighbor and do good works (incidentally this verse also shows persevering in doing good works, in addition to grace and faith, is necessary for final salvation imo)
3. And just as the righteous receive eternal life, the wicked receive everlasting punishment.
Another verse, fairly self-explanatory: "And the smoke of their torment will rise for ever and ever. There will be no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and its image, or for anyone who receives the mark of its name.” (Rev 14:11)
God has the right to strictly forbid human beings from doing certain things and threaten everlasting punishment if we do. It is man's duty to recognize from this how evil sin is and how we must completely repent of it and, by the Grace of God, eradicate it from our lives [[User:NishantXavier|NishantXavier]]<sup>[[User talk:NishantXavier|For Christ the King]]</sup> 07:11, April 19, 2023 (EDT)
