Chaff meaning unbaptized, not the term for the plant

Yes, thanks for 2 verses that support that there is no eternal hell. Hell is the lake of fire which is the second DEATH. Death doesn't live on.

I'm not trying to say what you believe in isn't true, i'm justing putting my two cent in. From acheaological and historical evidence christianity has been found to very similar to a lot of pagan beliefs and seems to be twisted a lot by people throughout the ages for their own gain. The bible itself was made by man and has had chapters pulled out and put back, re-written so many times by people who felt it wasn't giving the right message that it's kinda turned into a chinese whisper of what it really was, plus a lot can be lost in translation. I am in no way saying god deosn't exist, i would never say that and i hope you are not taking this the wrong way, i am not saying you are wrong in your beliefs, but i don't think that you should put all your beliefs in the bible just try and take the good things away with it and try and be a good person, not frighten people into your beliefs. A better ad for christianity is a good human being not a fundamentalist, if you spread hate it is what you will receive in return

there is not a place called hell that is so popular and misrepresented.plainly the lake of fire is the second Resurrection,the resurrection of the wicked that takes place 1,000 years after the first Resurrection of the righteous the 1,000 years is the time when the wicked are judged and the length of their punishment is decided by the deeds they have done as to how long they will burn in the lake of fire before they are completely and utterly destroyed to never be remembered again.GOD will bring this fire from heaven to consume the evil doers whom will attack the New Jerusalem that GOD has made for his people and is bringing to rest on the earth.all will be made new and sin and sinners will be no more they will be ashes to the feet of the saints who have endured.

And the Question is? Don't take the Bible so literally. this is all very figurative language, even for the time in which it was written. People have debated about Hell on Earth as being the lives we lead today. So is Hell a real place or jsut a metaphysical incarnation of our own perceptions f our daily lives? Only one way to find out. I do love it when people pick out parts of the bible to run up an argument. If you are going to use the bible so literally then of course you know that Heaven is reserved for the choose people and has a limited number of seats. That kind of spoils the entire Idea of Christianity, unless you believe in the lottery.

The eternal nature of hell is stressed in the New Testament. For example, in Mark 9:47–48 Jesus warns us, "It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into hell, where the worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched." And in Revelation 14:11, we read: "And the smoke of their torment goes up for ever and ever; and they have no rest, day or night, these worshipers of the beast and its image, and whoever receives the mark of its name."
Hell is not just a theoretical possibility. Jesus warns us that real people go there. He says, "Enter by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is easy, that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard, that leads to life, and those who find it are few" (Matt. 7:13–14).
The Catechism of the Catholic Church states: "The teaching of the Church affirms the existence of hell and its eternity. Immediately after death the souls of those who die in a state of mortal sin descend into hell, where they suffer the punishments of hell, ‘eternal fire.’ The chief punishment of hell is eternal separation from God, in whom alone man can possess the life and happiness for which he was created and for which he longs" (CCC 1035).
