Three Reasons to Believe that Hell is Eternal

1. The greatness of the offended party increases the greatness of the crime, the greatness of the crime increases the greatness of the punishment.

Is there a difference between the punishment for lying to an infant and lying to the President?

2. There is no biblical evidence of the sinful nature being reversed when a person goes to hell.

We assume that people repent in hell but it seems that their hearts are still hardened toward God (example, Luke 16:19-31 the rich man still sees himself as greater than Lazarus).

3. There is no biblical basis for the assumption that because Jesus was able to bear the full wrath of God we can bear it too.

Jesus was a sufficient sacrifice who was able to bear the wrath of God to the end. If we as humans are not even able to look upon God what makes us think we can bear His wrath in a finite number of years?
