(SEA) Rethinking Hell

[Adventist Dissident]

As People who believe in the scripture as portraying the character of God as love we find the doctrine of Eternal torment particularly offensive. Many in the Christian world are waking up to the problem of the Eternal Hell argument as being unbiblical and pagan in origin. An new movement is emerging to counter act the Eternal torment argument. Rethinking Hell examines the conditional evidence for immortality and shows how this minority view has always been part of the Christian faith and the accepting Jesus as Lord & Savior has always been the basis of immortality.

Reconciling the GOD who is love with hell based upon various ordinary Christian precepts and premises...

IF we were created as eternally self and other aware spirits and
IF we were all created with a free will and
IF there is an unforgivable sin, a sin that puts the person outside of all grace and holiness for ever and
IF some of HIS creation chose by their free will to sin the unforgivable sin and
IF it is true that a little leaven / sin leavens / corrupts the whole lump / person / community, then
IF the only way to protect HIS Church and heavenly Family from the eternal source of corruption found in these eternally evil people was to banish them from HIS heavenly reality,
THEN their banishment to the outer darkness, ie, hell, is an absolute necessity to keep the eternally evil ones from corrupting HIS heaven.

Premise 2 is false, Adam was created with Free will. no on else have ever been created with free will. Christ comes to give us free will. "We are slaves sold under sin" Romans 7:14

you have defined Hell as Darkness, we have no problem with that. it is the fire that tortures people for ever.
