    John 15:6 If anyone does not abide in me, he will be cast away, like a branch, and he will wither, and they will gather him and cast him into the fire, and he burns.

    Hell is the abscense of God, God made us exist, so in the Abyss we cannot exist

      I know the quote, my question is why are you tacking on your goofy causal fanfic like it has any basis in the texts? You legit just made up that bit about “not existing in the abyss”, lmfao did you seriously think nobody here would notice?

        the gospel of John is a personal testimony of the Gospel

        how is it a “fanfic”?

            how did I make it up? this is a topic thats been discussed in theology a lot, and

            Luke 8:31 And they petitioned him not to order them to go into the abyss.

              Revelation 20:1 And I saw an Angel, descending from heaven, holding in his hand the key of the abyss and a great chain.

                Revelation 9:2 And he opened the well of the abyss. And the smoke of the well ascended, like the smoke of a great furnace. And the sun and the air were obscured by the smoke of the well.

                this is a human trying to put into words the abyss, the “smoke” probably doesnt indicate a fire but the gloominess of the abyss being seen and blocking the air and sun

                  Good grief. No, not it’s existence, the part where in the abyss you can’t exist. That’s the part you made up.

                    I didnt “make it up”, I reasoned theologically

                    that if hell is without God, then we cannot exist in it, thus hell is the Abyss
