I had another experience of synchronicity like I've had with Maundy Thursday songs:

Hearing songs with seemingly supernatural significance

It involved a guest Baptist pastor and apologist that had preached about the problem of suffering.

After the service I asked him what involves the biggest problem I have with Christianity - whether hell lasts forever for the unsaved - or whether there is "conditional immortality".

It turned out that not only did he believe in conditional immortality, he studied it for his master's thesis!

A related video from him:

I talked about my involvement with a historical vs mythical Jesus Facebook group and he was very familiar with Richard Carrier and Robert Price (who both believe that Jesus never existed)

I was wondering what Christians here believe - do you think conditional immortality is true (that not everyone is immortal) or if hell lasts forever. If hell lasts forever do you see a problem reconciling that to God being infinitely loving?
Hell=2nd death Nothing in the bible says souls of man will burn forever in Hell.
Hell does last forever and it is set to burn forever for satan and his inner circle.
Everything Jesus mentions hell he refers it to us as being our second death. Now that does not mean we do not get to spend time in hell. I'm an sure hell is not like being transported into nothing. it's more like you are a log and will burn down over time depending on how hard your heart is. Which is why satan is set to burn forever.

Even if some portion of us does burn forever I have no issue assign this action toa Loving/Agape' God. Because it shows God protecting his people forever and keeping those who would do us harm completely out of our part of creation.
