God gave me a new and higher faculty than reason at my rebirth--faith.
Now my reason serves my faith, not unbelief.
I take my understanding of God from his own revelation of himself, not from my own sentiments.
What you don't realize is that at the Final Judgment, those who are condemned don't want to be in God's heaven praising him for all eternity. That idea is repugnant to them.
Hell is the only other alternative.
Oh my lovely sister in Christ, do you have faith in Jesus' mission to save the world from condemnation (John 3:17), that he raises the dead, restores sight to the blind, heals the sick, maketh the lame to dance like deer, frees the captives and liberates the slaves?
Do you have faith in God's power and divine will to fulfill His reiterated sworn oath that ALL mankind will bow and confess? (Isaiah 45:23, Romans 14:11, Philippians 2:10, Revelation 15:4)
Or do you place your faith in the power of the fallen creature's will to foil God's plan of salvation from a to z? Would you render God's right arm as shortened and withered? Are some nuts just too tough for poor God to crack? By no means!
The idea of praising God is repugnant to all who don't know Jesus (the dead, the lost, the blind, the sick, the fallen). But 'to know him is to love him', and that knowledge saves (Hosea 4:6). See, the heart bears the manufacturer's imprimatur, God knows exactly how to draw all men to him (John 12:32) and replace the heart of stone with a heart of flesh (Ezekiel 36:26). We love Him because He loved us first (1 John 4:19).
The final judgment is about setting right, not getting even. God's justice is universal, righteous, restorative and salvific. 'Behold I am making all things new!' (Revelation 21:5). The lake of fire is the super-mikveh (ritual bath) outside the temple filled with pure fiery essence of God that issues from the throne (Daniel 7:10). It's purpose is to refine the dross (Malachi 3:2) and scrub the filth from the wool (Isaiah 1:18). And when death the last enemy is destroyed (1 Corinthians 15:26), what remains? It's LIFE, Zoe. Then Jesus delivers up the package to God with a big bow on it, so that He may be all in all (1 Corinthians 15:28). Exitus et reditus.
Otherwise, how can the nations who molest Jerusalem as satan's army (Revelation 20:7) survive the heavenly fire (Revelation 20:9) and/or the lake of fire treatment (Revelation 20:15 and 21:8) and return to worship (Revelation 21:24-26) and be healed (Revelation 22:2b)? Miracles are commonplace in the Kingdom.
Do you believe wolf will lie down with lamb (without lamb in wolf's belly) (Isaiah 11:6, 65:25), or do you believe the refuseniks are to be marooned to burn forever without hope of release? Does Jesus flip them the screech-owl and abandon that last sheep to the treacherous mountains?
So Miss deClare-my-Faith, are you ready to put all your hope and faith in the total victory of the Salvation of Yah, or is your claim mere self-righteous bluster?
