That's a tough one. Tougher if you include Oklahoma. There's a place near Boulder, Utah, called Hell's Backbone Grill & Farm. Not bad at all.

That particular "mock" is not about who laugh's last. It's about who makes a mockery of the rock-solid principle of sowing and reaping.

So one could sow 70 years of sin and reap 999,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 of torment in Hell......and that would just be the beginning cause it would never end.

Absolutely, despite the silly numbers. In eternity time will not be reckoned like it is today, if at all.

Very interesting you chose UTAH.

Sow sin, reap destruction?

Destruction means ceasing to exist?

The opposite of eternal life is eternal death. Death was understood as sleep.

Ok, I came in late, and maybe I missed it. Can you explain the difference between grave “place of sleep” lake of fire “eternal torment”?

[TulsaDavid]

No one has gotten grave and lake of fire confused in this discussion. Destruction in the lake of fire does NOT mean annihilation, especially since the torture there ascends from the eons of the eons. There is nothing defining cessation of torment. In fact, just the opposite.

The wife and I have been hiking in northern Arizona/southern Utah for the past 20 years. The most beautiful canyons, formations and variations are in that entire west side of the Colorado plateau.
