- **Believe**: To accept something as true or hold a conviction about it.
- **Assume**: To take something for granted or accept it as true **without proof**.
- **Hell**: A real, eternal place of punishment, the inhabitants of which are eternally separated from God.
- **Eternal Torment**: The suffering in Hell is real, unending, and conscious.
Lol, I meant just Hell and Eternal torment but thank you for being thorough. I believe that the separation from Love is an unending torment. I don't think Hell is a specific place. Only that is a place that is separate from God.
Gotcha. I'm in the "real specific place" camp.
I think something that often is overlooked on my side of the aisle is precisely your middle phrase. Eternal separation from God's love is indeed eternal torment.
If you haven't read The Great Divorce and The Problem of Pain, my guess is you'd enjoy them if you're a reader. 🙌
I will check those out. Thanks for the suggestions.
