The problem with your exposition/doctrine of demons, Op, is that like the followers of the angel moroni(the morons of Utah), it leads to rehabilitation of the devil/satan/lucifer, all the other wicked spirits and unrepentant and unregenerate men and women, it means there is no justice or judgment, both of which are irrevocable attributes of YHVH/God who also is Love
Heb 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
Heb 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Heb 12:3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
Heb 12:4 Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.
Heb 12:5 And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:
Heb 12:6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
Heb 12:7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
Heb 12:8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
Quoting: FHL(C) nli 23349710 Lol I like how you equate the idea that sinners won't be burning forever as meaning there being no justice or judgement at all.Just goes to show the indoctrination.
Does the obvious alternative of God dishing out only as much punishment as that soul deserves before their souls complete destruction,elude you somehow?
If the lost are punished in accordance to their level of sin in life (as Jesus and Revelations clearly shows),then it is ridiculous to assume that normal lost humans will receive the same level of punishment as the antichrist,false prophet,and satan and his angels.
Getting a person out of religious indoctrination as difficult as raising the dead..only God can do it..
Well what they are proposing is simply ludicrous.
the bible clearly teaches that punishment will be dealt to sinners according to two criteria.
1: Are they born again,and their name in the lambs book of life?If so there is no further retribution for sin,God has taken that persons punishment on the cross.
2: If their name is not written in the lambs book of life,they will suffer punishment and destruction.That amount of punishment is to be determined by the other books that are opened that tell their level of sin in life.
These are valid scriptures that eternal doomers cannot throw aside,so they merely ignore them.
Think of it this way..
Suppose the punishment for every lost sinner is simply to be thrown into the lake of fire for eternity.Well if guys like Cain or the sinners that lived during the flood went to Sheol,they have been being punished in torments for several thousands of years now.Awaiting their eternal judgment.
The three most wicked beings that will ever exist (False prophet,antichrist,and satan) will not be exposed to hell or the lake of fire until the end of the tribulation.satan won't be thrown in there until after the millennial rule of christ.
So basically according to eternal doomers,Cain/the floods generations get to be tormented in hell for thousands of years while satan and his fallen remain free until the end of time.Then they get resurrected just long enough to be judged and thrown into the lake of fire.
In the end Cains generation gets 5000 plus years of torment,a brief reprieve,then an eternity in the lake of fire.satan and his angels only get the eternity.
In short that poor good hearted african tribesman that lived around 300 BC that never heard of Jesus or the Jewish God,gets a much longer sentence then satan himself.
lol eternal doomers..
