Every sinner would have been tormented forever ?
question:the eternity of one man which would be suffering forever: infinity of sufferings
One man suffering eternally would be enough for the vengeance of God from every sinners
only one man suffering the eternity ?
i am confused
thank you for your help
A loving Father which we all have plans with love, in and through love.
If Jesus had not have died, it is reasonable to believe Father would have made other plans.
No loving father punishes their children for ever. Why would our loving GOD? :HeartThrob:

I believe only God exists in "eternity," always was, is, and always will be. I don't see the point in considering a hypothetical situation where Jesus doesn't die. Jesus Christ came to earth to die on the cross to reconcile all on earth and in the heavens to God and to save all mankind from death. I don't believe God would have given us the curse of death without providing a salvation from it. So, instead of wondering what would happen if Jesus didn't die, thank God he did because that means all your loved ones you lose in this life will be restored to you someday. Jesus Christ's death and resurrection guarantees that someday all will be alive to never die again. There's no way Jesus couldn't have died. It was all part of the ultimate plan for God to be all in all at the consummation of the eons.

Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
The wages are death. Not hell, heaven, purgatory or conciousness of any sort. Just endless death as an atheist would describe it.
This poor guy is already confused. Now you're going to have to explain "eternal" damnation.
The word "eternal" is a mistranslation of "aionion," the adjective of the Greek "aion," literally "eon," which is a period of time not infinite time. A more accurate translation is "eonian" rather than "eternal."
"For the ration of Sin is death, yet the gracious gift of God is life eonian, in Christ Jesus, our Lord." (Romans 6:23)
Scripture is concerned with the eons not eternity. We will all eventually have immortality, but only God has "eternal" life because he always was. Mankind had a beginning.
Merriam-Webster says "eternal" means "having no beginning and no end in time."

God's Justice toward sinners was this:
He sent His Own Son to die a cruel death for us. :declare:

Hi erwan
I believe there is alot of confusion over the word eternity
God was making a way for all mankind by the Cross of Jesus Christ [ cursed is a man who hangs on a tree ] Jesus tasted that death for every man
that tree is the tree of knowledge of good and evil
when we eat of that tree our soul /life is required [death in Adam ]
Jesus gave His soul /Life so others could live on though Him His life on earth
This helped me to see the power of the cross of Jesus Christ
there were two thieves one on each side and Jesus in the middle of them
one confessed he deserved death for his sins and Jesus did not deserve to die for Jesus was innocent , this mans faith saved him and was told Today you will be with me in Paradise
as for the other one he told Jesus
IF you are the son of God take yourself down from this tree and me too , from that point there is no more mention of this sinner /man , the dead know nothing
Jesus Cross to me represents the NEW AGE /WORLD WORK OF GOD , though His Son that makes a way for all mankind
some of the miracles Jesus done was showing him raising the dead /Lazarus example
gathering souls / lives from death , That tree of knowledge of good and evil , back to Him that tree of Life restored in newness of life in Christ .
there is no end to Gods kindgom
I hope this helps somewhat

Which explains my very simplistic explanation. If it had not been Jesus, it would have been someone or something else. Yes, I know this was decided long before time began, just sayin' is all.

Scripture is concerned with the eons not eternity.
But his question was about what is NOT in the Bible.
Jesus died of his own volition, all the while praying for those against him.
What better way to make a showing of the nonsensical ways of hatred than for a man to go unto death itself on a cross while praying for those who hated him simply because he was inherently good and his actions made mockeries of their half lives?
Jesus proved a point when he went up on that cross. He proved a point about how lawfulness doesn't do well to cover up a skewed moral compass. The Pharisees obeyed the law, but they were black inside. They killed a man who went above and beyond the law, and used their own laws to sanction it.
It is law giving way to spirit.
The only instruction left is love one another. Since Jesus proved the ways of human law to be unworthy of being considered 'righteous', because if they were righteous, the laws wouldn't have led to Jesus' death in the first place.
Jesus' death proves that the punitive mind-set is unworthy of the light. Forbearance, hope, forgiveness, patience, meekness, self-sacrifice and compassion. The only things that are truly beneficial.
