How arrogant. YOU take ultra conservative sources and decide all Bible scholars agree with you. Revelation. Which you have quoted to ad nauseum is about the Roman Empire, not a prophecy set thousands of years into the future.
Many scholars of the Bible disagree with you, including Ehrman snd McClellan.
Don’t assume those who disagree with YOUR interpretation are ignorant of scripture.
I’m gonna use that quote.
Hell is real place. Jesus tells us in Luke chapter 16. About Two sides of the Gulf. Righteous in paradise, and wicked in sheol called hell. 2 Peter chapter 2:4. Fallen angels are in hell, in holding place. It exists, and its not fun to be, hell. I remember seeing article about Rock star, she was making jokes about hell. Will be partying, singing in hell. We can see how detached from reality she is. Rich man of Luke chapter 16, instantly regretted going to sheol. He begged Abraham to send Lazarus to his family, so they would hear testimony, and avoid coming to hell. The torment is from within. God doesn’t torture anyone. Reality hit the rich man hard, and fast.
