Since this thread is about the Lake of fire. i find a few things interesting.

1.) Jesus had mercy on demons.(Mark 5)

2.) The Stream/River of Fire comes from the PRESENCE of GOD(Daniel 7)

3.) The stream in the partial revelation(daniel) became a LAKE in the FULL revelation(revelation of JESUS)


Also: Why cant a the scriptures be parables AND FACT? Whats so hard about that?

Infact YOU, YOUR EXISTENCE is a parable, as is Marriage.

Anyway....this is an interesting topic.

You can deny the evidence rejecting a flood because you don't understand what the evidence is.

You're selectively picking which scientific events you want to believe based on your own personal knowledge.

LionofGod, I want to admit to you that it is hard for me to thank God for the lake of fire. I don't like to think about the lake of fire, except that I am glad that there will be an end to Satan and all the trouble. I don't understand about the lake of fire. But I am not tying to disrespect you in any way. I do want to uphold the Word of God. I do want to thank Him for all His plans and ways. I know that He understands me and will help me in this and all things. I'm not trying to argue or make any points. It's just a hard area for me to deal with. Very respectfully-Rivertree

Rivertree- I see where you are coming from, and feel the same.

I find it hard to think anything positive about the Lake of Fire, or of people going to Hell. I do want to thank God for His plans and ways too, but I believe even God doesn't feel pleased to see people in Hell. It was never His desire for people to go there...
