In the Bible it is taught that each man lives only one life on the Earth and then his soul is subject to judgement. Jesus purpose was to prevent people from having to experience the second death described by John in the Book of Revelation.

There is never any indication anywhere in the Bible indicating that … once a soul is cast into hell for the reasons given … that soul is ever released.

Rev 20:14
This is the second death, the lake of fire.
Code:
15And if anyone's [name] was not found recorded in the Book of Life, he was hurled into the lake of fire.
Rev 21:
And He Who is seated on the throne said, See! I make all things new. Also He said, Record this, for these sayings are faithful (accurate, incorruptible, and trustworthy) and true (genuine).(D)
Code:
6And He [further] said to me, It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I [Myself] will give water without price from the fountain (springs) of the water of Life.(E)

7He who is victorious shall inherit all these things, and I will be God to him and he shall be My son.

8But as for the cowards and the ignoble and the contemptible and the cravenly lacking in courage and the cowardly submissive, and as for the unbelieving and faithless, and as for the depraved and defiled with abominations, and as for murderers and the lewd and adulterous and the practicers of magic arts and the idolaters (those who give supreme devotion to anyone or anything other than God) and all liars (those who knowingly convey untruth by word or deed)--[all of these shall have] their part in the lake that blazes with fire and brimstone. This is the second death.(F)
Hi 1voice: I appreciate your kindness and patience as well as the time you’ve taken to reply, however, I can’t see anything in any of it that would suggest that anyone’s stay in hell is eternal. The state of being called hell is eternally available to be entered into, however, I see nothing that suggests that the experience is outside of the cyclical nature of all other things. I will agree that it is a widely held belief among Christians that it is eternal, and I believe it is what most of them are taught. However, I don’t see any basis for it. I see a motive for teaching people that, but I don’t see a basis for it in scripture.

Your friend
