That would make sense ... wouldn't it. People have no problem when Jesus says:
Matthew 25:46
“..... but the righteous to eternal life.”
they go  
but people completely lose it when Jesus says:
Matthew 25:46
"Then they will go away to eternal punishment......."
they go      :mad :

Wish I'd saved the reference.  |

Just a note on how language works:
That is a big fish in a big ocean.
Is the fish the same size as the ocean because the same word 'big' was used?
