Well yes. I agree. I have serious doubts about taking the imagery of everlasting fire and utter darkness literally anyway. At least at the same time... It seems senseless. I think there must be symbolism involved with that language. Still yet, being separated from Jesus "forever" would be the greatest travesty known to mankind.

How would you feel if Jesus' death on the cross did just that... that we "should not perish but have everlasting life"?

But if we didn't we would not experience everlasting life and would simply die and there would be nothing else.
If I am prying... please disregard my question. I am certainly not meaning to. As for myself. I still find that valuable. Living eternally versus living this life isn't a big plus that I can comprehend. But to live eternally with God is a major plus.
Although, as I have said before in this thread, life experience has shown me that, no matter what, this is just the best life. God, as it turns out, is exceedingly wise and I love to learn and follow His ways.
