Is Hell ETERNAL?

[Guest dove2]

One way, you have put it all in a nutshell. You are so right we should be more on fire for the Lord and try to lead the unsaved to Jesus.

Botz...

The criteria for whether or not you are cast from the presence of G-d...is whether your name is written in the Lambs Book of life....the only way to get our names in it is to be covered by the blood of the Lamb...and just as the Israelites were passed over when the Angel of Death slew the firstborn in Egypt..so will we be redeemed by the blood that avails for us through Yeshua HaMeshiach/Jesus the Messiah the firstborn of the Father.

Will...

So your saying that someone who does good all there life donates everything they have to charity and works constantly with them will be cast into hell just because they did not welcome jesus into there hearts in there life time?. I do not belive that god would do that why simply because if he punnish's someone for doing good doenst that make him evil?. God it many things and righteous is one of them but blinded isnt he sees peoples souls and knows there worth.

That is why i belive that certain people are giving a last chance for redemption.

Will...do you think it was fair that the first-born should all die in Egypt just because they did not have their door-posts and lintel covered with the blood of a Lamb...were they not innocent...many were probably Children and Babies!

I don't understand everything that G-d does..but I trust Him...and I know that He is a just and Righteous G-d...and on this basis I can safely say there will be nobody cast from the Presence of G-d that does not deserve it...and the criteria that G-d has set in motion to reach out to a lost world..are Righteous.

I have a question lingering in my mind today ..

According to some, no matter how good you are (by human standards) if you reject Jesus Christ you will burn in hell fire for eternity.

So my question would be, there's this guy 'X' in asia who never knew the gospel and Jesus at 5 A.D.(five years after the death and resurrection of Jesus) ..coz the apostles have'nt got the gospel so far to asia. Let this guy 'X' be a wicked man. So is God going to give this 'X' a second chance to accept Jesus on the judgement day and give him salvation? I knew you would say 'no'. So the wicked 'X' guy will pay for his sins. What is that payment you say? Eternity in hell. Ok, so the payment for sin is eternity in hell. We believe Jesus already payed for our sins. In that case was Jesus in hell for eternity? If not, how come Jesus payed a different price for ALL of our sins and the 'X' guy gets to pay a different price for his sins? Can anyone please explain me that. The question just wont get out of my head!

I can answer part of it, I think:

First, Jesus didn't pay for our sins in hell. He paid the full price with His blood that was shed on that cross. Jesus had no sin of His own. We do. Our price is paid in full by Him, who knew no sin. If we're not a Christian, the penalty for our sins is eternity in the lake of fire. Jesus had no sins to merit the lake of fire to begin with.
