There is no positive spin. It's used to put fear into people.

Mark 16:15 are Jesus' final instructions to his followers. He said to spread the Good News. He spelled out the Good News. The Good News does not include the fire and brimstone beloved by fundamentalists... who seem to have ripped the 16th chapter of Mark out of their Bibles.

I wouldn't call that a positive spin. Just different words to describe the same thing.

Hardly the same thing Freak, the fundie understanding is eternal torment and is punitive with no chance of restoration. What I and other believe is that it is corrective and restorative. And if you think that is the same thing using different words you really have absolutely no understanding of our point of view.

Oh ok, I feel better now. Finite torture is so much better than infinite torture.
