I have noticed lately that discussions on the Lake of Fire is favoring those who think that the punishment is greater than the crime and that the Lake of Fire is actually a Lake of Love and people will get converted in the Lake of Love then they will be let into heaven or that the length of stay in the Lake of Fire will be short and ALL people who ever existed will end up in the Kingdom of God. The standard view is that the Lake of Fire (Gehenna) will be the eternal home of all those who hate God and a place where God's presence is totally missing.
So lets have some views on this keeping some of these scriptures and thoughts in mind.
Mat 25:41 "Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.
For those who propose that humans will have a short stay in the fire does that include the devil and his angels? They have feelings also. They are God's created beings whom He loves even now.
Mat 18:8 And if your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life crippled or lame than with two hands or two feet to be thrown into the eternal fire.
Mat 18:9 And if your eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into the hell of fire.
If the Fire is a short stay why would have Jesus have you enter the Kingdom of God crippled than go to the Fire?
Rev 20:10 and the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur where the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
This is 1000 earth years later and the beast and false prophet are still there and exactly how long is forever and ever?
Rev 20:14 Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.
Rev 20:15 And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

Rev 21:8 But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death."
