Christianity is a loving, forgiving faith PlainOl; there is no fear, there is no "control" --- Matthew 13:41-42 "The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; and shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth."
Matthew 25:46 "And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal." Matthew 25:41 "Depart from Me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels." 2 Thessalonians 1:8-9 "Them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of His power." na ... no fear or control Revelation 14:11, "And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever; and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name." Revelation 20:15 warns "And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire."
