Why do some 'Christians' believe that Hell is not eternal?

[mmksparbud]

Why do you feel the day/night cycle doesn't last forever? What Scriptures are you basing that on?

Revelation 22:2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.


This is within eternity context. There can't be anything such as months without day/night cycles, can there?

It is clear in the bible---there is no need of the sun for Jesus and God is our light,their light never goes out. Time is unimportant there. Not there will not be any sun or stars in the heavens---it says there is no need of them for light for there is no night

Rev_21:23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.
Rev_22:5 And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.

One of the verses previously shared:

There will be no more night. They will not need the light
of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will
give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever.
(Revelation 22:5)​

A cycle of day-night can't continue if half the cycle (night) has been
removed.

This verse is very intriguing.

If one accepts the traditional eschatological fare being
served up, there wouldn't be any more healing needed,
because those who are doomed-forever-in-hell (or
annihilated, take your pick) aren't going to be getting any
healing, and those in heaven aren't going to be needing
it.

Yet, here's this Tree for the healing of the nations.
Evidently, there's still something going on necessitating
such a Tree.

This strongly suggests (to me) that there's no Point of No
Return for the "doomed". I conclude that the presence of
this Healing Tree is for those still refusing God's love;
once they've each had enough of keeping their distance,
they are free to avail themselves of this Tree and finally be
restored.

The tree of life is for the saved--we are given access to it and the water of life again, just as Adam and Eve had at the beginning. We are not immortal -- we are given immortality as a gift from God. Read post #306.

In post #321 I expanded on this even further. Not certain if you have read that post yet? Post #321 shows why I conclude what I do.

Rev 22:1 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
Rev 22:2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
Rev 22:3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
Rev 22:4 And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.
Rev 22:5 And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.

That has nothing to do with the politics of the kingdom of God!! God crested a real physical world, and He is remaking it, and He is addressing the real physical world here!

You have a lot more faith than I do my friend.

You do not get the power of God---He is light, even in heaven, there are covering cherubs, Lucifer used to be one-their wings shield the angels from his light. His is the light of the world.

No, I just read the bible. It is literal, spiritual, political, metaphorical--all must be read in context To determine which it is, and there can be more than one way to take it at the same time. That is why we read and reread and reread. We can go along for years thinking one way, then all of a sudden, you see something else.

We're just not on the same page here is all. Probably best we both get back to discussing the topic of this thread, where BTW, that I am mainly on the same page with you for the most part.
