The fires of hell are (Rom. 1:32); judgment of God own punishment (120) curative and purgatorial. is against sin (2:2,3,5-6,9); God will judge secrets by Jesus Christ (v.16; 3:6; etc.) God redeems the There is no everlasting hell; There are two ways, one leading to final outcome (127) all repent and go to heaven; everlasting punishment, the other to everlasting life (Matt. 7:13ff.;25:46; Luke 16:19ff; Jn. 3:16-19) Judgment is not about There is no final judgment; Jesus will take vengeance destruction, but about but a setting of all things right... and punish with everlasting setting things right (169).
