alan, Jesus said wide is the path to destruction and many will take it and narrow is the gate to eternal life and few are those who find it. Not all will. (paraphrased)

Alan, IMO, there are just too many instances where Scripture makes it clear there is a Heaven and a Hell, and those who go to either will be there forever. Your theory relies on too many word semantic games -- "ages" means one thing, etc. What to do with these? "They will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life." -- Matt. 25:46 Christ uses the same word "anionos" to describe the duration of both Heaven and Hell. C. S. Lewis said concerning Hell, "There is no doctrine which I would more willingly remove from Christianity than this, if it lay in my power. But it has the full support of Scripture and, specially, of our Lord's own words; it has always been held by Christendom; and it has the support of reason." and this: "They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord and from the majesty of his power" -- 2 Thess. 1:9 and this: "What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul? . . . --- Mark 8:36 I remain, SOROS
