Is the popular imagery of the devil, Satan being in change of hell and the burning alive of the billions of people in the fiery lakes…standing there with his horns, pointy tail and pitchfork jabbing at the poor lost souls who the lovely Jesus died for.
But hang on a minute … it isn’t the Devil in charge of hell, it’s a version of Jesus!
”The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb.
Rev 14:10
Now I don’t see Christendom correcting this misconception of poor old Satan being totally misrepresented, no the established church is quite happy to deflect some of the flack for this horrendous apocalyptic doomsday onto Olde Nick.
Prove me wrong you hellers.
Edit: nod to Ghost of a Duke for re-floating my favourite anit-hell scripture.
@divegeester saidPersonally I am on the fence. There is enough biblical support for the Devil simply being the personification of sin, and hell being a a place of destruction, and not a place of torment. I dont think God cares either way what people believe about those two doctrines.

@divegeester saidIf only you weren't so confused with misconceptions.

Nothing one single word on the topic. from you.
Guess what they call people like you.
@divegeester saidIt's not worth it to comment on what you said in your OP because it's just your usual blatherings about your confusions, misconceptions and mischaracterizations of biblical truth.
Nothing to say about the OP as usual.
At the outset for example: "...popular imagery of the devil...".
You obviously think you're a clever little fellow by fomenting further misconceptions about Satan by disregarding what the Bible says about him just to lambaste and demonize anyone that disagrees with your humanistic and anti-biblical sentiments regarding your pet peeve about eternal punishment.
You bore me to death with your pretentious and sophomoric diatribes.

@josephw saidAnd yet here you are dodging the point because you cannot refute it, but just having a pop at one of detractors and call me names …

Is my posting still “Antichrist”?
Am I still “reprobate”?
Am I still an “enemy of god”?
Well I can see why you are not allowed to teach in your church.
