It only contradicts tradition interpretation of scripture, interpretation that is heavily influenced by RCC doctrines. Doctrines that were used to control the masses thru fear and intimidation.

I didn't mean that last question to sound the way it did, it was worded poorly. I apologize, after I re-read it it I could see how it could be interpreted as disrespectful. Didn't mean for it to come across that way, if it did. You answered the question the way I intended to ask it, though.
It sounds to me like your beliefs contradict both the traditional interpretation of Scripture as taught by the RCC (allegorically or symbolically) as well as hermaneutical or dispensationalist teaching (literal). Would you agree with that? How would you classify that teaching? I've never heard anybody teach that it's possible even for Satan to be pulled out of the Lake of Fire and that is an arena for God's creation to be purified. I was reading today and came across this,
Revelation 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
What do you understand that to mean?
