Does Everyone Live Forever?

[TulsaDavid]

Darkness may be a metaphor for death, but it is also a metaphor for punishment, condition and mindset. The stretch is assuming any of this means eternal nothingness. Of course, the wicked live forever, just like the righteous. The sense of sowing/reaping, Jesus' price paid and eternal redemption is obscured, if it is not redemption from eternal punishment and into eternal reward and fellowship.

If the wicked live forever why this?

Gen. 3:22

22And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:

And this?

John 6:

51I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

I thought we had to eat the bread of Jesus to live forever?

Did Jesus death pay the ransom for our sins? If the penalty for our sin was eternity in the lake of fire why did Jesus rise up in 3 days?

Would he not have to still be suffering in the lake of fire?

So in your view how does Jesus suffering in hell for 3 days pay the price for us? But wait! Did Jesus even suffer in Hell at all?

Or did he DIE for our sins?
