For a quick read search for "universal" in this 271 page e-book.

A cheerful ET book. The author admits Rich man and Lazarus is a parable. Because the real hell is far more horrible than just fire and brimstone. Our language just hasn't enough horrifying words to decribe hell. That's why it's a parable.... Page 18-19

This isn't really the type of book you can qoute a few lines from to make some point.
So I think best is you download the book read a few passages and decide if you want to read it all.

their arguments are always the same and they accept no other opinion

aeonian punishment/correction = endless torment
desctruction/perdition = neverending torment
judgment = neverending torment
hades = hell, hell is a place of neverending torment by their definition
gehenna = hell
second death = everlasting life with neverending torment

QuoteOur language just hasn't enough horrifying words to decribe hell.

If this is true, how could Jesus say this:

Luke 10:14

But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you.

how can a "hell which is far more horrible than just fire and brimstone." be more tolerable for some than for others? I only read the beginning of this book, I have no great interest in it.
