Is the Lake of Fire Literal.

The lake of fire is symbolic. This is clearly the case because the Bible says death and hell are thrown into it and that it is the second death. You can't literally throw death or hell (the grave) so it is obviously symbolic. It is a symbol of everlasting destruction. It also doesn't make sense in a lot of ways. Demons, spirit beings and the Greek philosophical concept of the immortal soul (the Bible teaches the soul is the life, life experiences of any breathing creature. Animal and man) wouldn't be harmed by literal fire. Death, Satan, and hell (the grave) being thrown symbolically into the lake of fire mean they are destroyed forever. No more. No more death, sin, sickness, Satan, etc. Sin = death. Not hell. There will be a resurrection of the righteous and the unrighteous. (Acts 24:15) Also, the Bible says that once we've died our debt of sin is paid in full. We are acquitted of sin. That means no further punishment. (Romans 6:7)

What the Bible teaches is that Adam and Eve were meant to live forever but they sinned. Sin means to miss the mark, their sin was to think that they knew what was best for them instead of their creator. Jesus takes away sin, we live forever.

The Bible doesn't teach that all good people or Jews or Christians go to heaven while all bad people or non-Christians go to hell. The meek will inherit the earth and live forever in peace upon it. Not the meek go to heaven.

The teachings of Judaism and Christianity were corrupted by Greek philosophy. What we associate with Bible teachings are actually ancient Greek philosophical concepts that the church adopted over time in order to bring in more "pagans" and so increasing their sociopolitical power and money. It's pretty well documented. From Alexander the Great in 332 BCE and Constantine the Great in 325 CE.

Hell is also not a separation from God. God is in effect, in hell, according to the Bible. (Amos 9:2; Psalm 139:8) We were separate from God when we were created, and meant to join him in our perfection.

I believe it will be a literal lake of fire..

When we are rasurected from the dead to face the last judgement we shall be given different immortal bodies.. Therefore those that are cast into the lake of fire will have bodies that will be immortal and will be able to burn and be in torment forever and ever..

So you personaly don't think God would allow it... Your going to go on what you WANT to persoanly believe rather then have Faith in the Word of God on the matter..

Yes being seperated from God and all that is good will i believe actually be worse then the torment they will be physically experiencing in the fire..

Tell me why you think it acceptable for a loving God will put people in a place seperated from God and all that is good but you think it is unacceptable for a God to have them cast into a Lake of Fire.. Both should seem bad to you if your going to be consistent with your belief..

Most Christians not all believe that it is an actual place.

Jesus said hell was prepared for the devil and his angels.

The Bible speaks of hellfire being eternal, meaning it burns forever. Can something burn forever? Maybe, even though the sun isn't actual flames as we know them but the suns burn for billions of years, so it's possible that there is something somewhere in this endless universe that has the capability of burning eternally. That is what the unquenchable fire of l actually means it is a place where fire Burns all the time.

Some believe people will burn in what is called hell eternally and never die but be tortured, while others believe hells fire means destruction. The ancient Hebrews did not believe in the tortures of hell's fire. Sheol which they considered the grave was simply a place where the dead go who are unaware and awaiting judgment, that drastically changed in the early centuries.

The Bible teaches destruction

I don't know, but I like your rationales for it
being otherwise.

I don't think we can change whether it is or is not.

You don’t get to pick and choose which parts of Gods word you want to believe or not.

I can address the part of God sending people to hell: he doesn't. He saves people from it

Where do bad folks go when they die?
They don't go to heaven where the angels fly
