Oh. I see.
I'm only trying to help people connect the dots concerning this matter.
We find it easy to find fault on the LC and speak the truth in love and rightfully so. We have the ability to see, understand and make rightful judgements based upon experience yet are afraid to recognize and call out what is painfully obvious.
In the parable of the prodigal we learn of a wayward sons heart and the Father's heart concerning his son. The matter was that his son was lost. Now, when his son came to his senses and returned well... we know the rest of the story. His son was in danger of destruction/Annihilation. (Not minimizing death whatsoever)
If his son was in danger of eternal torment, you think that would've made the situation more desperate?
This is about God's character more than it is about anything else.
The first warning of death was early on in Genesis.
Much later on death is morphed into something more than judgement/justice.
It is morphed into cruelty which if you and I were angry, nothing could justify us being cruel. That's just a matter of fact.
Sheol/Hades is the grave it's as simple as that.
Otherwise whoever accepts eternal torment IMHO is willing to accept something less of God's character.
Making him less.
This is unacceptable.
