Wrong! He was referring to eternal fire. The lake of fire. Eternal....
My friend, most here aren't contradicting you on that eternal judgement point. Please note that when hell is mentioned the popular idea is of multitudes in unimaginable agony forever being prodded by demons wielding pitchforks. Gehenna had no such denizens. It was a place of total destruction not a place of sinners being tormented by other sinners.

You don't realize it but you're mocking the cross, mocking Jesus, mocking how He died for the forgiveness of your sins.

Heresy.

Tell us again why Jesus would die the way he did in order to just offer a chance to escape something that no one can escape from in the first place.

Because He is the doorway. He is the escape. Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Light.

Mocking Christ and the cross by posting a picture that shows, metaphorically, how Christ and the cross overcome detstruction and sin? This thread celebrates that victory, it doesn't mock it.
