Preface: I started this thread as the topic of "forever" punishment was introduced into the thread "God thought of YOU! and I want to prevent that thread from going completely off course. It is NOT my intention to "flood" this forum with my religious beliefs through countless threads. 

Let's start simple and go verse-by-verse. 

Ephesians 1:7-10

7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, 8 which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight 9 making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ 10 as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth.

This is only the first of many scriptures that demonstrate that no person nor entity is punished or separated FOREVER from our Father. Let us first focus on the verse above. Ask yourself; do you believe that Jesus will succeed in his mission to unite all things?
