What if eternal burning isn't hell?
Isaiah 33:14-16

14 The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?

15 He that awalketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil;

16 He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.

According to this, eternal burning sounds like something the righteous would want.

Every time people try to interpret metaphorical books literally, they just look more and more stupid.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1468685


The Metaphor
…is defined as an indirect comparison
between two or more seemingly
unrelated subjects that typically uses "is
a" to join the first subjects.
Shakespeare:
“All the world’s a stage…”

Oh, really, but the Bible is not allowed to use this literary device to explain the Truth's of God?
Prejudice a little perhaps?


Yes, they were smarter than y'all.
Oh and by the way, there were no cavemen.
