INTRO: We are considering David Raegan's problems with the traditional view of hell, which is that it lasts forever. Let me say again, I find no evidence that the self, any person can ever come to an end once they are conceived. We have looked at four objections to the traditional view. The first is how could a God of grace and mercy and love put someone in hell forever? But God is not only gracious, merciful and loving; He is also holy and just and righteous. Raegan's second problem was with regard to biblical examples. When God had man destroy man, it was quickly, not with long torment. This is even true of animals. That is because God said, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay." God will do justice and when He does it, it will be done 100% right. The third problem was that of the second death, and we have seen most clearly that death does not mean and end of conscious, sensuous existence. It basically means separation. The rich man died and all his senses were working well after his body was gone. At the time of the second death, the person has been resurrected and is now separated from God forever. This I see as the second death. It does not mean the end of conscious, sensuous existence either.
