If a crime is committed, repentance doesn't satisfy the demands of justice. If you murder someone and later apologize for it, just justice say, "Oh, that's OK you can go now". No. And as for grace, it's the nature of the gospel that one has only this life to believe and be saved. Repentance unto life is only available now.I think justice, true justice is simply just. Every crime is punished according to the severity/duration of my crime. But for all eternity being punished?
I'm sure God has a plan. One not written in the bible or any human book.
I believe hell is real, but the term eternity is smthg we humans cannot grasp.
It.might be such a long time that it seems forever.
But i'm pretty sure after many eternities in hell, their inhabitants will one by one repent u until the last one (satan) is saved.
Just me...
Now as for the eternal nature of hell, true it could be argued that a person's temporal sins in the present may not deserve eternal punishment to satisfy justice. But consider even our own prison system. If a person commits a crime in prison, doesn't that add on to their sentence? So if a person is in hell, does that stop him from sinning? Are the people in hell sinlessly perfect? Can't imagine so. Does torment make people into better people. Contrary to even the Catholic pugatorial idea, it doesn't.
Rev 16:9-11 They were seared by the intense heat and they cursed the name of God, who had control over these plagues, but they refused to repent and glorify him. The fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom was plunged into darkness. Men gnawed their tongues in agony and cursed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, but they refused to repent of what they had done.
Consequently in hell people are still going to sin and add to their sentence, which is an unending cycle.
