.
The law of God says: Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, burning for burning, and life for life.
Where does that leave people like Ted Kaczynski who killed and/or maimed 26 people with homemade bombs; and leave mass murderers like Stephen Paddock who indiscriminately sprayed a music concert in Las Vegas with a rifle equipped with a bump stock resulting in 471 dead and/or wounded? How are those guys supposed to balance the scales of justice for all those people's lives?
The law of God also prohibits dishonesty. Well; supposing somebody has been less than totally honest upwards of 200 incidents in their lifetime? How are they supposed to balance the scales of justice when each count of dishonesty merits the curse mandated at Deut 27:26?
Well; the fact of the matter is: they can't balance the scales; which is no doubt at least one of the reasons why Hell and the lake of fire are so permanent. And even if they weren't permanent, they'd at least have to be very long-running in order to satisfy justice for some folk.

I would like it very much if my friends, associates, and loved ones down in Hades were allowed visitor days because after they're transferred to the lake of fire per Rev 20:11-15, I may never get to be with them ever again.
Immigration Update: 1,307 days have elapsed since beginning the thread. If the figures in post No.1 are within reason, then something like 79,473,442 new arrivals have checked into the fiery sector of Hades since Sept 18, 2017.
NOTE: Seventy-nine millions seems like an awful lot but in today's Federal spending dollars, it's chump change.
Consider a trillion. It consists of a thousand billions and each billion consists of a thousand millions. So that a trillion is equal to a thousand millions multiplied a thousand times.
Simply put: a trillion contains twelve zeroes, whereas a million contains only six zeroes. All in all, one trillion is like 12,658 times greater than seventy-nine millions.

According to Matt 7:21-23, not everyone believing in Jesus will make it to safety.
I would not want to be one of them because they will surely be mocked cruelly without mercy by some of Hell's unruly crowd. I can just hear their taunts:
Hey Christian! How's about sharing the gospel with us ay? Tell us about the love of God and how that's working for ya. Awwwww-Haw-Haw-Haw-Hawwwwwwwww!!!
I'd rather end up in Hell as a Bernie Madoff than somebody believing in Jesus because ol' ponzi schemer Bernie is sure to be given far more respect down there than a bible-thumping Christian.

FAQ: Was Adam's disobedience a hell-worthy transgression?
A: No.
According to Gen 2:17 it was a death-worthy transgression rather than hell-worthy. In other words; the proper penalty for Adam's mistake was simply his loss of immortality. (cf. Gen 3:19 and Gen 3:22)
NOTE: In order for death to resonate in Adam's understanding, it had to be death as he understood it in his day rather than the way modern Bible thumpers construe it in their day. In other words: to Adam's way of thinking; death was physical rather than spiritual, i.e. normal and natural.
Immigration Update: 1,326 days have elapsed since beginning the thread. If the figures in post No.1 are within reason, then something like 80,628,756 new arrivals have checked into the fiery sector of Hades since Sept 18, 2017.
