Eternity in Hell is not so great!
Ab
For those who limit themselves to a book, go for it. But how restrictive that is. Sad in fact. I pity those who choose to imprison themselves within the confines of the bibles.
Absolutely, life with God and His Spirit everywhere is great. Unlimited scope to explore and find truth.

Agreed. And the blood of Christ redeeming everyone in hell is brilliant news hey. I can't wait to see this event.
God's mercy endures forever, without end.
You know that there are no fences or locked gates surrounding God's truth. Only humans have put them up in an attempt to deprive the free flow of the Spirit of Truth. Of course that is completely futile, yet some have rigorously tried. Truth can be found anywhere and everywhere. Even in the mouth of Satan.
But you said you're gonna burn in Hell FOREVER! Don't you even know what you said?
"Life with God outside the bible is great!" is life without Christian Salvation! You made a very bad choice.
That's tricky...
Matt 25:46 And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.” [ESV]
Matt 25:46 And these shall go away to punishment age-during, but the righteous to life age-during.' [YLT]
If punishment is not everlasting, our salvation isn't either.
All 3 are in conflict with each other
You can build your case for all 3 and there are a number of x passages that are contradict.
It's a bit like end-of-time doctrines
BINGO!
That's a good observation and great question. Thanks.
The good news is that one age can follow the previous one.
The age of evaluation/correction/restoration and reward will only need to happen once.
The future ages can go on for eternity.
Ephesians 2:6-8 NIV
And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,
7 in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.
8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—

Here's a question:
What do the three biblical doctrines of the final judgement say about the character of God?
1) Damnationism (eternal conscious torment)
2) Annihilationism (complete destruction)
3) Christian Universalism (Ultimate Redemption/UR)
- Damnationism (eternal conscious torment) is in conflict with both Annihilationism and Universalism
because only Damnationism is eternal punishment.
- Annihilationism (complete destruction) is in conflict with Damnationism and Universalism
because it includes complete destruction.
- Christian Universalism (Ultimate Redemption/UR) is in conflict with Damnationism and Annihilationism
because it includes redemption for all humankind.
