1 Thess 4:13-18 describes the condition of the saints when they die on earth.

God Almighty is stated as from everlasting to everlasting.
We were created in His image.
There was and will be access to the tree of life.
Man that gets saved____must keep the faith.
We will put on immortality as to our mortal bodies, but there is a part in all people now
that is eternal. See 1 Peter 3:4.
Paul told how he had not attained to the resurrection of the just as to for sure being
in it. He didn't want to preach the Gospel and then be found cast away as reprobate.
Our salvation comes at the end of our faith, which isn't until the 7th trumpet sounds and
it is time to reward the saints.
We will put on immortality.
Corruption shall put on incorruption.

There will be eternal judgment, but that doesn't mean it can't begin a long time from now.
Hi
Thanks for the reply.
Why did you reference 1 Peter 3:4?

In the NT, the rich man was in a place of torment and knew there was
plenty of room for his brothers and that they must repent. He could see
Lazarus that had been carried by angels.

That Luke 16 text is a parable.

Luke 16 is a parable.

I'm not sure that it is, and why does that matter? There is a hell that is a place of torment.
.

1. I agree that there is a literal hell that is a literal place of torment
2. Almost everyone who references that parable in Luke 16 - totally ignores the moral of the parable - that Christ said it is teaching. The reason they do that is that they love to extend the parable-feature into literal reality more than they like the actual lesson Christ said he was teaching with it. That has to make a few Bible students go "hmmmm" :)

Jesus Christ gave the story as to showing lots of people are in hell. There is even room for
more. .

The parable does not say " lots of people in hell and even more room for more"

Take a look at what Jesus actually said he was teaching with it.
