What is the difference between Hell and the lake of fire? Is Hell eternal? If so, who will be in it?

Do you believe those who die without Christ go to a terrible punishment? If so, how long?

I remain,

SOROS

Dear Alan: You will agree with me that everything God makes is eternal. Our souls and spirits upon death either go to the third heaven to be with Christ or they go into the belly of the earth and eternal separation from God.

Christ said that he must go into the belly of the earth for three days just as Jonah spent three days in the belly of the whale. Those who died under the law could not go to heaven. God created a place in the belly of the earth that these departed souls would reside while they awaited the "rescue" of Christ. There is a reason for this.

Here is the reason. Under the law sin was only covered, not removed. The blood of Christ is necessary for redemption, whether one died to the law or to Christ. Therefore for all those that died under the law they too had to be covered in the blood not of goats and rams and doves but only by the blood of Christ.

What you are saying is that God will make exceptions and he will not. He didn't under the law and he will not under the age of the gentiles, nor will he for the devil and his demons.

I agree with you that God will eventually reconcile All creation past present and future to himself. There will be eternal peace eventually in all the universe, sin having been abolished, and to sin no more.

Here is the difference of what we believe. For sinners in our present dispensation and for the demons and their ongoing sins and for all their sins of the past eons, and for all the "locusts" that will be loosed in Revelations ( which by the way I believe are the pre Adamite generations that were on the earth before Adam and rejected God )not one of them having accepted Christ, these will all be punished eternally and their punishment reconciles them to God. The death of their souls and the death of their spirits or more accurately the separation of their souls and spirits for eternity from God....reconciles them to God. Either Christ pays the price or we and or them pay the price for sin. Take your pick. Either way the universe is reconciled and at peace with God.

These are my views.....In Christ...Gregor
