As with Adam, Adam was Not sent to any burning tortured hell but just ' returned ' to dust - Genesis 3:19How is that direct intervention by God if he just allowed it to happen? When I say intervention by God, I mean direct intervention on his part such that He actually does something not passively allowing something to happen.
Assuming the flood and pre-flood stories happened, how exactly is that just if real justice is sending people to hell to burn and be tortured forever?
A person can Not ' return ' to a place he never was before. Adam went back to where he started from.
There was No post-mortem penalty , No double jeopardy for Adam, so none for anyone else.
When King James translated the word Gehenna into English as hell fire that put flames in hell.
Gehenna was a garbage pit where things were destroyed forever, so Gehenna is a fitting word for: destruction.
Destruction as Psalms 92:7 says that the wicked are ' destroyed forever' - Not roasted forever.
There will be ' direct intervention by God ' because the executional words from Jesus' mouth will rid the Earth of the wicked as per Isaiah 11:3-4; Revelation 19:14-16.
