Porkchop, I believe the Bible to be the Word of God, as far as it is translated correctly. This means, I believe that the Bible is really the Word of God, but parts of it have been mistranslated and left out. So this could have been in there, or maybe not. It is LDS doctrine as far as I'm concerened.

Thanks for clarifying that for me, Becky. I would have to disagree with you on that one, but thats going off topic and im sure there have been several debates on it.

I meant in relation to your question about whether Hell is permenant.

Lucifer was cast out of Heaven by God, what's to stop him from tossing out anyone else, I guess is what I'm going for...

My thoughts exactly, that's why I believe the time spent in hell is not permenant, but hell is a permenant place.

He won't, God has promised that He wouldn't. That's what to keep Him. God always keeps His promises.

Absolutely, and that's putting it mildly. "Evil" comes to mind for me.

Excellent scripture which proves Hell is an eternal place of torment reserved only for Satan and his angels.

No one born into this life will spend an eternity in Hell, except Satan and His angels, but many will spend time in Hell if they don't allow Jesus Christ's sacrafice to take affect in their lives by repenting and believing in Him and His teachings.
