The topic was on outer darkness. The question was asked, Where in the Bible does it show defeated believers going into punishment for 1,000 years? The LSM answer was, The whole Bible shows this.

So we began to use the whole Bible. Revelations doesn't say anything about the 1,000 years in outer darkness. Nor did the epistles. Nor did the gospels. Instead, we heard, it was a pastiche, put together by an amateur theologian.

Okay, so let's critically examine it. . . but instead of answers, we got, Who have you got who's done better?

But who has to speculate 'better'?
