IGNORE! (Was "Where do the lost spend eternity?")

[Timmy]

IGNORE THIS POLL! IT'S BOGUS!!

Answer this poll, instead, even if you've already voted here!

What happens to a lost person's spirit (or soul, if you prefer) when he or she dies?

I don't think I can edit the poll question (which wouldn't be fair to those who already answered, anyway!), but can we from now on consider "hell" to include any kind of eternal punishment/torment/etc.? (Or maybe I should just start a new poll.)

[Nahum]

According to Jesus it goes to a place of torment called Hell where it awaits the final judgement of the living and dead. At that point death and Hell will be cast into the lake of fire.

Do you believe in everlasting punishment for those who are lost?

Yes.

[Nahum]

No one will spend eternity in Hell. The poll questions are wrong.

Please elaborate on what you are trying to say. I think I know but I would like to hear it.

When a saved person dies He enters into the presence of God, but not the throne room of God. He is in paradise, or what Jesus calls Abraham's bosom.
He awaits the final judgement when the living and dead will be judged. At that time he will hear "well done thou good and faithful servant. thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many". At that point he will enter into the Heaven of God.


When a lost person dies he goes to a place of torment called Hell. This is a temporary holding cell until the final judgement. At that time the wicked dead will be resurrected into judgement where Jesus will say "depart from me ye worker of iniquity, I never knew you". At that point He will be cast into the lake of fire where he will continue in a burning dying experience forever.

Should I start a new poll, then?

Okay, that's what I thought you meant and what I have understood to be how it works as well. I do wonder though why there is a waiting period before the judgement.
