It's described that there will be great weeping and gnashing of teeth, so it'll be horrible. Most important is that it is eternal separation from God until the Lake of Fire when Jesus comes again-where it will again be separation from God.

Honestly, I don't see how some Orthodox Bishops see hell as temporary

everything I can find makes it pretty clear that Hell is eternal

That’s their individual perspectives, though I’m sure they’d likely explain why in full.

But remember that the core tenet is that God does not send you to Hell, you send yourself to it.

You ultimately went because you turned down the gift of Heaven.

CS Lewis wrote a book about it in an anecdotal fashion.

A problem is that is that an individual of his own natural will cannot "choose" heaven

One can only turn down the gift of Grace that is freely given

That’s correct, I should’ve worded it more efficiently.

There.

@Simp hell is temporary because hell is thrown into the lake of fire

The lake of fire is permanent

Revelation 20:14 KJV

So even in that perspective you remain in the lake of fire permanently?

@Simp what?

The lake of fire is permanent

Now, the Bible mentions a second death, I do not know of the soul of the damned is literally annihilated and dosent exist or if it's in eternal fire

Or if youou even retain consicousness in the lake of fire

Oh I see

Thank you

I guess I was having a mini stroke there

The lake of fire doesn't destroy hell

I dont think he implied tha5

14 Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. 15 And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire. Rev 20:14-15

The second death and names not written in the book of life being thrown into the lale of fire is the important part to understanding it.

Vs 11-15 talk about the final judgement

What religions/denominations does everyone hold?

Apatheist gang @Shalopy

Catholic

Interesting

@Gromp How does that fit in with the rest of your worldview/views?

Baptist Gang

I hold to the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod

No religion in politics, everyone should be able to believe in whatever they want to (unless it’s some predatory cult shit like Scientology) as long as they keep it out of politics @Shalopy

That would just lead to forms of Christianity disguising themselves as secular to gain power, like we saw from progressivism

Hence the need for frequent purges of the government

Revelation 6:8
