      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

              I reasoned theologically

              So you made it up, but you thought really hard about it first.

              Dude you’re not a prophet nor a theological scholar, nobody cares about your weird theories.
