Guest Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 First, remember God: He does not change his mind. If God creates something to be eternal, he does not change his mind and say, "Okay, now this thing will not be eternal that I created to be eternal". That is absurd and, in fact, despicable to God, to be uncertain about his intent. He created our souls to be eternal, and will raise our bodies to be eternally animated by our souls, whether in heaven or hell. Destruction in hell does not equal annihilation. It means eternal frustration of knowing truth or God, and eternal frustration of satisfying sinful desire (which is all that those in hell do desire, for in hell they will completely call evil to be good and good they will call evil and feel infinite pain (death) in the presence of true good. The righteous, however, will know truth truly, calling good what is truly good, and be fully satisfied because they will be united to true good, which is God, thus we will be "happy", "satisfied".
