It is a foundational truth!

You have interpreted "eternal judgment" as the traditional literal fire of hell. The literal rendering of these words is "judgment eonian", or an age of judgment, which I agree with. scripture4all.org/onlineinterliner/Greek_index.htm

BTW: that is Hebrews 6:1-2.

Unbelievers will endure an age of judgment. ED has been so ingrained into Christianity, that there is no objectivity to the very idea that God, intends to literally burn, torture and torment most of his creation endlessly!!! To believe such a thing is insanity.

The soul that sins shall die, that is why Jesus died, that was the penality for sin, Jesus the sinless sacrifice undid Adam's transgression, God has reconcile all to Himself thru the blood of Christ. You are not saved because you believed, you believed because God had already dealt with your sins, by sending His son to reconcile the world to himself. While you were a sinner, Christ died for you, He is what the scriptures says the Savior of the whole world. (1 Tim. 4:10)
